I suppose it''s good practice for those away trips when the coach breaks down.Anyway, happy with the team and the setup, we know what to expect and just need to execute it. I like Johnson holding, Wes roving and Howson getting up and down to support either, looks a good balance on paper.Howson needs a big game today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 12, 2013 Hopefully Hughton noticed Howson getting forward and linking up with Hoolahan works very well. Stick Holt in the box and let those two work the ball around, get it to Holt, score. Job done. Simple. Not like WBA have defenders or anything to worry about ;)Anyone worried about Long and Lukaku? Bassong hasn''t looked fully fit for a few weeks, he often looks like his legs don''t work during a game but when action is required he normally steps up, but recently he''s been a bit shaky and basically limped off at the end (looked more injured than Turner in the game he went off injured). Lukaku likes to put himself about, like Benteke should have done last week. If Lukaku has a good game, they could score 2 or 3 quite easily, unless big John steps up!

Mister Chops 7 Posted May 12, 2013 Long usually does okay against us, and Lukaku is big and physical, so hopefully Bassong will take Lukaku and Bennett will pick up Long. Wouldn''t fancy Bennett against Lukaku if isolated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah he''s been immense, he just has quite noticeably not looked fully fit. And two physical strikers in Long and Lukaku will take advantage of that. They''ll probably just ignore Ryan Bennett and let him stroll about as he doesn''t have the positional discipline of Turner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tele 0 Posted May 12, 2013 I''ve got mixed feelings about Ruddy being back in goal. There''s no doubt that, although Bunn has done well, we''ve missed Ruddy. But I''m nervous about a keeper who''s not played for almost 6 months coming in for such an important game. Hope I''m wrong... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 12, 2013 Think Ruddy will be fresh and ready to go. GKs don''t need match fitness in quite the same way as outfield players. Worry will be late on, if Ruddy is starting to feel the pinch and we were in the lead and WBA put the pressure on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has to get thrown back in at some point and he''s been fit for over a month now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 12, 2013 He probably thought he could so something better with the ball, which is odd, because his main decent input this season has been winning set pieces, followed by the occasional good FK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
