I understand the caution with Olise, but what exactly does Schlupp offer? There are 5 defenders in the starting lineup and Hughes and Leema can defend well enough, surely we can afford to play more than two forward thinking players?

My guess is we'll play 343 to match Brighton, try and keep it at 0-0 with Olise to come on after 60-70 minutes to win/draw. It's what Roy has done all season. Just try and stay in games.

Having said all that, maybe the team will surprise us. COYP!!

Barring Jairo and Tommo, our bench almost looks better than the starting lineup.

I’m guessing Roy is again playing for a clean sheet and praying for a goal from somewhere, there can’t be a plan to get one with this team.

If we lose this without scoring, which I am expecting, he has to be sacked immediately… surely?

Having no faith in the team, or ability to coach them, and playing the most defensive XI possible is as depressing as it gets. If it’s ineffective too, it’s beyond madness.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

As a Devil's advocate that was a piss-poor effort

Horrific vs arsenal, terrifying vs Sheffield, the last half hour, its on talksport 2, not sure I want to listen, I will either be bored rigid or furious, when 2-0 down early.

We’ve seen this defensive “experienced” line up grind out wins in the past and also seen it get spanked to nil!!

In a few hours we will know the answer!
