Gyan should start. He needs game time and goals. Gardner deserves a chance to show Bruce he should start week in week out. O'shea needs fitness Wickham? Ji? Only one should get the nod, I'd go; Westwood O'Shea Bramble Laing Ferdinand Vaughan Gardener Colback Cook Ji Gyan Time for certain players to step up. There's no way Bruce will play Gyan but he really should.
No, we need to play the team who will be playing against City. I would try out Westwood, Mig concerns me. Gardner mut play and I would look at Vaghan and Ji in a 4-4-2. Leave Bardo out because he is facing a ban. WESTWOOD O'SHEA..BROWN..ANTON..RICHARDSON LARSSEN..CATTS..GARDNER..VAGHAN JI..SESS
