Big bonus if Brereton goes to Everton before the weekend Won’t make much of a difference, a centre back will score from a corner anyway.

My preferred team for Saturday: .......................Bonham...................... ..........Taylor........Jags.......Wilmot.......... Brown...........Baker........Thompson........Fosu.. .....................Killkenny..................... .................Delap.....Gayle.................. Bursik and Smallbone need a rest to show there is real competition for places. Kilkenny would play alongside Thompson and Baker behind the front two. When he came a lot of the Bournemouth fans said his best position was as an attacking midfielder. He is good on the ball so I'd like to see him given a chance in this position. Smallbone started well, but has had a couple of crap matches lately and needs a break.

I can't see past a 0-2 defeat in this one, whatever team we play it won't make any difference.

Agree with Bonham. Not a great keeper but after Saturday, Bursik needs dropping. Bonham was ok after a dodgy start.

We will need an eight defenders to nullify Brereton-Diaz, Bradley Dack and Gallagher. Brown and Gayle to lead our attack. A draw is enough for mine.

If Dean Holden does take charge surely he will adopt a 4 at the back
If he doesn't and we lose he will be gone too. So with that in mind I think he will go with a version of 442, 433
Bonham Wilmot.Taylor.Flint. Fox Brown. Kilkenny. Baker. Fosu Gayle. Delap
It's a free hit for Holden if he's in charge

Bonham (just has to be!)
Wilmott Taylor Jags Thompson (left field but can tackle, no Fox please)
Baker Kilkenny
Smallbone
Fosu Delap Gayle
positive attitude from kick off, Blackburn ain't much at the back, we have pace up there.

Will be interesting to see if there are any major changes
Will Holden try to do something different?
Will the players play with more freedom, sometimes that happens when a manager leaves, that is often mistakenly interpreted as an achievement of a caretake manager as well, but sometimes I think it's that the players are more relaxed.

That's It! They're going to utterly shock us by imitating something with a plan. Suddenly passes are completed, couple of smart-alecks make a couple of "cute" moves and off we go, winning 3-0. A new temporary manager, we don't know what the hell is going on, never let that stop us before bounce! We only allow Blackburn 3 set-pieces the whole match. Bursik is actually spotted breathing for once. It's high time for some good news.
Damn this coffee is strong!

We will find out against Blackburn this weekend whether MON has built a crap team ... or whether it is the players themselves who are crap.

Holden will pick the team and formation so nothing will change. He's as big a problem as O'Neill in my book. These players need to be coached properly to create a functioning team who know their specific roles. That's not going to happen over night.

Back to back 3-0 defeats. First goal crucial. Attack them. And then along come Stoke. Sorry to be so negative but can see nothing but a defeat for us. I'm with you, Mark Hughes said that Blackburn move the ball forward very quickly , so judging by our last 2 games We are in trouble and i predict a heavy loss about 4-0 , hopefully Holden will change something.

Knowing he's getting one game only I'd love him do something completely different and go for it, he has nothing to lose, the players will need to learn AN's systems anyway so just give them freedom and see what happens

Andersson the young ex-Chelsea winger not in U21 tonight so possibly in tomorrows squad even as cover.

I know it’s already been said on here but I would play Brown on the wing. The lad is full of energy, tracks back & puts himself about. Has to be Gayle & Delap up front - if we’ve got the ammunition we need to use it!

Following tomorrow of 1500 tomorrow, seems on the small side for such a close game up the road? Hopefully we sold a few more today with all the excitement.

But what we’ve witnessed so far this season I think the majority of fans would prefer to have the money in the bank & save the disappointment. I’ll be watching on the fire stick tomorrow.

Most Important thing he said today at the press conference was round pegs in round holes which isn’t actually a saying but it means the same so I think there will be changes

Surely you can’t be advocating for Bursik?
