With Pukki playing on his own up front, we don’t need 3 center halves, play 2 putting extra player into midfield giving Powell more freedom to cause problems. Pukki, or the PIE as he will now be known. Pity there won't be fans on hand to verbally abuse him.

I hope that MON is prepared for all possibilities. These nine allegedly injured players could all miraculously be cured and turning up tonight. ?

343, to give us more solidity at the back, whilst retaining our best front three to cause them trouble. They are beatable and they will be worried about us in this goalscoring form. Bursik Collins Souttar Fox Smith Mikel Clucas Tymon Campbell Fletcher Powell 343 leaves you very light in central midfield, if you want 3 up top you're better off going 433, considering they play 1 up top. I'd rather go 352 for this one though as long as its not Fox taking up LWB In that 343, we could have Powell centrally at no.10, not on one side of Fletch, so it is really 3412, and he roams from there to create when we are attacking, but can also drop a bit to add numbers centrally when we don't have the ball. I agree on Fox- he is an okay LB, just about serviceable as LCB, but not even remotely satisfactory as LWB.

Think we will be on for a draw tonight 1-1 Against the league leaders, I'd take it. We need to keep the momentum going ahead of what should be a great opportunity to pick up wins and places the next few weeks

They have a lot of injuries but I still see us as a bit too inconsistent to win three in a row at the minute.

At some point, as much as we don't like it, we're going have to change the personnel up a bit.

Also Fletcher and Campbell are starting to form a great partnership so I can't see the sense of them not playing alongside each other upfront. Given who's available the only other change I might make is ToB for Powell - yes he's a match winner but for me he still spends far too much time on his arse whinging at the ref.

No draw for me. Don't care if they are the league leaders. Let's go and try to beat them. We win and we are the league leaders, let's have some confidence. If we draw we draw fine. If we play well then great. Let's go in with confidence though.

Assuming Bournemouth will beat Forest, we would need to win by two clear goals to leapfrog Norwich into second. A win by a single goal would get us to third. I think. Sorry for all this gung-ho stuff, but I’m just enjoying the contrast with this time last year.

Be nice to sneak a win here. We are owed a decision or two as well after the shockers against Barnsley, Watford and Huddersfield. Need to start on the front foot.

I've been getting pre match nerves again this season, I'm truly engaged with my club again after a period of borderline indifference.
It's not just because we are winning, although that helps, it's just that there was genuinely a time in which I didn't like many of our players at all under previous management.
Thank God for Michael O'Neill!
