I believe odds can fluctuate and will also depend on the bookmakers you use.

I’d pipe down if I was you lard arse and buy a larger shirt you looked horrific at the Sphinx game other week.

EMC needs to up his defensive game! He left Bidwell open a couple of times and was irresponsible in diving in and mot winning the ball for the second goal.

It’s not his game and I don’t see why he should be pigeon holed into spending time on it.

Kind of agree. He plays as more of a forward than a traditional left winger.

Just needs to keep Robert’s occupied

Should be grimes and Rudoni helping Dasilva / Bidwell vs Edwards

EMC needs to stop Roberts getting forward to prevent an overload not help Bidwell with Edwards

Not saying that at all! But everyone has a job to do and I know he is not a defender but it's a team game. So today he needs to tear their right back a new arsehole

It’s a team game but doesn’t mean we need to ask defensive duties of everyone.

Because he leaves our full back massively exposed.

Probably the toughest match of the season. 1-0 either way. With their brick wall of a defense I can’t see us scoring a hatful.
We need to be up for it from the off and the first goal (if any) is pivotal.

Totally disagree, everyone on the team has defensive responsibilities when we're not in possession of the ball.

4/5 isn't bad, and TBF the Allen change was the one I was least bothered about

I agree. It's another of those really physical teams and he does get sidelined sometimes when he comes up against them.

Hopefully he will prove us both wrong

It’s not as if Torp offers much physical presence either. Sunderland might’ve been the only time I’ve seen him do it.

I think the best we can hope for is a 0-0, but with butter fingers in goal that’s highly unlikely.

Allen is probably one of the most aggressive and physical midfielders we have. Regardless of his size he never bottles a tackle.

I would have gone Sheaf for Allen, but otherwise that's what I'd have chosen.

Missing the game today as heading to Brighton for the marathon tomorrow, so I’ll be watching on my iPad on the train - probably the only Cov fan on there.

Tough game, but probably the strongest team we have. If Allen has a Sunderland level performance his inclusion is justified, otherwise I’d imagine he’ll be benched next game.

Are they a physical team? They tend to dominate possession and keep very compact. They're not a Dyche team at all.

Look, can we not predict a loss? If we somehow win, the hindsight lot will be all over you. Saying they ‘knew’ we’d win.

I think we will lose tbh , I'm yet to see lampard navigate a win against this type of oppo(not a dig ) so I feel like we will leave ourselves open for their counter too often .

We will see

Not saying he does. He can get out-muscled though at times and crowded out.

Happened many times before against the big physical sides.

Hopefully, he will have a fantastic game

Okay. I haven't seen much of them at all this season.

Traditionally, they have always been quite physical.

Very happy to hear that they are not.

A lot of bedwetting here.

Torp and Allen have more than proved themselves in recent months. This is a good team lineup.

Get behind the lads and let's give this one the best we've got. We can do this.
