IMO a lot will depend on whether McManaman starts. If he doesn't we're hopelessly lacking in width and pace as we have been most of the season, and I think we're relatively easy to play against, especially at home where we'll be easily contained by a defending team.
I'd love to see him start although it's very soon (....too soon?) after signing as he'll really be up for it and will pump the crowd up.
I can see a tight game but if CM plays for at least an hour I'll be hoping for a win. What a big boost that'll give us!!

Talking about 'playing for an hour' let's also hope that Big Vic can turn it on in the way we all know he can, but see far less often than we should.
