In the absence of KIO and wishing his father a speedy recovery, thought I'd knock up a half arsed match day thread.

Jesus Christ, last week it was Vadis wide right, this week it's Wes (according to this graphic) wide left!? Square pegs in round holes - or else play narrow, no width. please log in to view this image
No Tettey OR Mulumbu! Craziest line up I've seen in a while! Hopefully naismith brings a bit of bite to the midfield.
More so at the thought of Martin at CB Neither Dorrans or Howson are DMs in the strict sense of the word.
Shock and awe by the look of it. We will need an early goal with a formation like this. If they negate us going forward we will be horribly exposed on the counter. Unless Pinto is some kind of superhero and Naismith can actually fly.
Yeah think I would have been tempted to chance Klose instead of Martin, I like Martin but I thought we looked better defensively when he didn't play.
AN must know something I don't. I've looked at the lineup and thought about how it's going to work and if we surrender possession in the midfield we will be under all sorts of pressure, with Ibe's pace especially. I don't think I can watch this.
