In post-match interviews, TP appeared not to know why we didn't make our superior numbers count at Stoke, nor why we didn't take the game more to Southampton, or why our midfield was so impotent. And if he doesn't know, how can he set the team up properly? Right now, I can't see where our next win is coming from, and it won't be against Villa, not the way we play. I just don't understand it. Just give attacking football a go and see where it gets us. But we won't play attacking football. We'll play for a tight draw and lose. Nailed on.

I realise that we still have to be set up right to win it, but I don't think our defence will be as ponderous and as lacking as it was last year. I imagine we'll still sit pretty deep, as they still have got more pace in their attack than we have in our defence, but I believe we'll cope better this year.

2-1 to us

I heard Blues were only getting 2,800 for next week, though I thought there were rules in place that Visitors had to get 25% for Cup games (?) Have the Police stepped in with some ruling?

If you are going, try not to set fire to the place on the way out.  

Sounds like the same allocation that we've been given mate. Also to any that might be going, try not to set fire to the Witton Arms on your way out of there either. Not that the Seals will be using it again according to this 

Mixture of nervousness and excitement for this one. 

Really hoping we see a front 3 of Rondon, Berahino & McManaman. After seeing the full 90 I'd recorded of the game against Leicester, we really need to take the game to em and use the width and pace that we know we have in those 3 lads above. 

COYB!
