    I see this as an absolute Must Win, if we are serious about challenging for the title this season...

    I've got to admit, i'll have more interest in Hants winning the Vitality Blast on Saturday.

    I would swap out Adams and play Broja. He looked so sharp against WHU and more likely to find the net than Adams. Otherwise, l am in agreement.

    The thing I like about Adams is that he can hold yo the ball which will give us some time..., I think as good as broja is playing ATM.. I just see Adams as the better option to start and broja the better to come off the bench

    I quite like watching Man City, and De Bruyne in particular. However I struggle to give them or Pep any credit for winning anything, because they can afford better players than just about every other club. I`m going with 1:1 on Saturday - no defensive blunders please, and take one of the few chances we`ll get.

    Is there any reason we can’t play Adams and Broja? Different CF styles to complement each other?

    Got a feeling that Ralph will find a place for KWP this time but otherwise unchanged with Broja starting from the bench. The starting 11 does not have to be your best 11 anymore. The impact subs are equally important.

    Hoping to change the game at the 70 minute mark at City is perhaps less desirable than having a game to change at the 70 minute mark. It's a challenge for your impact subs to make an impact if you're down 2 or 3.

    Hampshire play Somerset from 11:00 on Saturday, and the other semi final starts at 2:30. This should mean that we can all watch Hampshire win (sorry, Chilcs), watch/listen to Saints pull off an unexpected victory against City, then return (virtually?) to the cricket final at 6:45, with Hampshire ultimately victorious.

    There, that's my Saturday sports sorted, I've just got to convince my better half that I can't possibly help with anything, and while you're up, you can bring me another beer. Can't see any problem there <whistle><whistle>

    Man City have scored five or more goals in their last four home games.

    We'd better score 6 then.

    I have it on good authority that the team that scores the most goals wins.

    So simple, yet so often just beyond our reach
