Feeling fine. Been a great season regardless. As long as we leave it all out on the pitch I’m happy regardless ( although still think we are in the tie)

If EMC is fit he should start and Wright up top. Otherwise, Simms and Wright left.

We'll see how Sunderland want to play it. If they sit back then we should just focus on getting quality crosses in to the box, and you'd hope given our record that Wright, Simms or Rudoni will get on the end of one.

We have to gamble with Simms I think, I really don’t want to see Thomas Asante fuck arsing around making all the wrong runs with his silly bandage on.

All joking aside Simms does one thing we’re I’d probably pick him. He creates space, most teams look to put two defenders on him, which means we get a lot of free headers.

Looking at Middlesboro for recent example.

If he does play i hope the curse of the returning striker happens for us , seems to happen against a hell of a lot

I think Asante is a situational player, a very good impact against tired legs or teams pushing on as he exploits gaps and space betwee/behind defenders really well.
His movement against Middlesbrough was very good but thats because he had the space to, I think Simms should start and unless Sunderland start coming at us we won’t see Asante this game

These advertising boards?

The Mackems do realise you can curve a run up and that virtually all our headers are from crosses and corners?

Re: all this moving the advertising hoardings to stop VE taking long throws...I don't think it'll make much difference to be honest.

Despite being vertically challenged, I had a long throw on me and was often used the same way in matches. Within 10 yds of the 18yd box and I'd get the nod to take the throw. You only need a couple of steps or you can curve your run up.

I'd love it if we get the opportunity in the first 5-10 mins for one and he launches one in and we score from it. Now THAT would would be good.

I read earlier we've only scored from one long throw all season and the goal scorer was Torp...

Them moving the advertising boards is probably one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen in a while we never even score from them

You should always leave on 85 minutes to beat the rush. It gives you something to brag about when you’re the first one home.

It's win - win tonight for me.

Win we go up

Lose - we are not ready anyway and likely to get less than 11 points in the Prem. Better to take the summer to beef up the defence in particular

Will watch quite chilled.

I reckon Simms in will be the only change, and I think if we need a goal by 60 get EMC on and go 442

Not convinced at all by Wright up front, especially against a team with a low block.

However it could certainly give O’Nien a bit of a scare after the last time.

Hoping Simms starts up top with Wright on the left - and both actually turn up tonight!

We definitely need to mix up corners, throw ins and set pieces. Letting them set up to head away lofted balls is just too easy, especially after they practiced it for 90+ mins a few days ago.

Our corner routines seem to have gone a bit awry the last few weeks, not sure why

It's 5 defeats in 6 away from home playing the system and broadly similar personnel that started the other night.

That's like saying stop whipping in corners because you score 1 in 50.

They didn't work Friday but they've caused problems. It's always the second ball that causes the issue.

But you need the ball in the box to get the “second ball”
