Sorry, Chester should be nowhere near the side. I’d sooner have moved BMI to centre back and played Ward- that’s how bad Chester is. Oh well- perhaps the feeling of impending doom is misplaced.

Nna Noukeu Blondy? Has Federici left already?

He loves Chester doesn't he, not a worry at all....... Thompson and Chester are what worries me about MON. His love for formations that don't work with the players we've got worries me more but as you point to his signings have been poor.

With a Bit of luck we wont see Butland between our sticks ever again. Chester makes Paul Dyson look like Baresi!

I disagree. Ward at left back would expose us far more. The back four has experience and they need to use it today.

Nna Noukeu Blondy? Has Federici left already? Yeah - apparently so. Isn't Bursik eligible (I would have thought he would be after the lower league seasons were cut short?)

I suppose Chester replacing Collins was predictable, but if you look at Collins 45 mins vs Leeds, he was insecure but didn't cause any problems, then at Chester's 45; his presence certainly caused a lot of problems, which would argue for his continued absence, but O'Neill obviously sees it differently. Also I had liked seeing BMI restored to a more centralistic position, but O'Neill must prefer the trouble he causes at lb.
OK I'm off in a few minutes for a family outing, so will miss the entire game. Do well, lads!

Nna Noukeu Blondy? Has Federici left already? Federici never got a temp extension like Diouf or Ward so was free to leave. Davies has a lot to prove today. Hope he has an excellent showing when called upon during the match.

Batth and Chester played well at home to Barnsley I’m sure that’s his rationale.....

So what are we thinking this time round, two at the back with the keeper as sweeper? Flying goalie? Sad part is, having watched Citeh the other day, their neck tattoo would be brilliant at it. His distribution alone would put many of our mid field to shame!

You could reason that we’re playing with a keeper who was third choice prior to Federici leaving. Butland being unavailable in this game is mildly suspicious.

Shame to see the decline of Butland. He didn’t look himself at all the other night and seemed totally uninterested. Davies will need to be on his game from the start. Against Leeds, Baath tried to give them a goal in the first minute and Chester obliged in the first couple of minutes of the second half. Good luck. We are in your hands it’s upto you to save us from the drop

"Neck injury" forgive me for being a bit suspect about that one However James fucking Chester. Why? If he isn't injured it's a big call not to have him on the bench. I fear the worst with Davies

Utter fucking madness on one count then 😁 Sorry Sheikh, just not sure I believe the injured tag. They could have made it more believable, like a back injury from picking it out of the net or something. Neck injury my ass. If he's not injured its odd to me. Of course he deserves to be dropped overall but putting in a cold keeper (who's looked poor on limited evidence) in the biggest game for a few years is insane. why didn't we give Federici an extra month The Chester decision is just laughable.

Blondy’s supposed to be pretty good though? Yeah - a couple of people have said he's impressive and "has got a real chance" (whatever that actually means!) Could be a bit of a logjam with him and Bursik on the promising young keeper front though.

Chester deserves his start following his last outing where we only conceded 4 when he came on.
Not like we don't need keep a clean sheet in this game.

We should know by 3.30 o'clock'ish whether all the Butland knockers are right. I bloody well hope so. Our future may depend on it. Whatever... come on Davies and Chester! Time to show us what you're made of!
OS.

I fear the worst with Davies It would be huge mate, and indicate a massive loss in faith from MON. I just really am suspect of any injury being involved. But that's just me though. On the flip side he could quite easily have done himself in during training. We have to hope he has a blinder. He's been MIA all season near enough and now he's just been thrown into the most important match we'll have been in for a long time.

So long as we can attack like Barnsley, then defence and keepers can have an easier time. We must take the pressure off them.

Davies is a lot worse than Butland.
Chester vs either of their forwards is just mad.

Still no sign of Oakley-Boothe. (or obviously Edwards)
Sounds like TOB was one of the young players who came back in poor shape, post-lockdown?
Although he did score in one of the friendlies, didn't he?

Collins comes on at half time if either centre half "finds it difficult" right?
