4 centre backs and 3 defensive midfielders starting at home to one of the worst teams in the division. Surely the most defensive lineup in premier league history

Looks like same old keep a clean sheet and hope for something off a set play.
Swansea will pass us to death.
0-0 all over it.
Hope I am wrong.

Don't deserve to win today, that lineup is shocking

I think we might have been more defensive at some point last season, failing that Mcleish's villa regularly started 6 defenders. Hopefully Sandro has some relatively unknown samba skills to cheer us up.

Jeeeeez - was hoping that the obvious 'surrender of possession' against Villa was just because of so many games in not many days, but it looks like we're set up to do exactly the same.
Bristol City score 2, Posh score 2......we can't even defend that well, Mr Pulis

Good Grief ..............
Presume our best CB is playing LB again as well

I think I've found a winner, man utd 0-1 west brom, last May, note that we won. This was the team:Myhill Dawson McAuley Olsson Lescott Gardner Mulumbu Yacob Fletcher Brunt Berahino.
Admittedly that was away to United not home to Swansea but at least today we have two wingers who can run so we might get some thrilling three man counter attacks.

We've created a few chances today. Hopefully we'll take one soon.

Please tell me I did - can't find a mention anywhere
Dream? That was more like a nightmare you mean!
Thankfully Jonny isn't injured. Hoping it's not a premonition Drewks!
Oh dear Evans off with hamstring

I was fuming this morning when my ferry was cancelled due to storms in the Irish sea, but am I happy now, especially with my refund. In fact it's made me finally realise how much I'm spending each week to be well and truly unentertained, if that's a word. So I wont be spending any more of my hard earned dosh to watch complete and utter rubbish. Well done Pulis et al , you've finally broken me. Goodbye.
