    Looking forward to this. Think it will be tricky, it's a mustn't lose for Astra. Got a feeling Scepovic may get his first goal.

    3 in midfield is important with Mulgrew in holding role and Brown and Johansen in advanced roles. Worked a treat yesterday.

    Won't be that team with Izzy out.
    Should score heavily. 8-1 at home and 6-0 for us away.

    Said earlier in this thread that we should keep the same team (with Scepovic in for Guidetti) but I think he'll push Stokes up front and bring Wakaso onto the left.

    I would agree with that. Matthews in for Izzy assuming he is injured and either Scepovic or Griffiths up top for Guidetti.

    I would be inclined to go with Griffiths and Stokes together up top for such an important game as we know they work well together, not sure if a Scepovic and Stokes pairing would work and I would not be prepared to take the risk yet.

    Astra just drew 1-1 away from home, their goal coming from a penalty kick.

    It was their first game under Protasov, but they continue as a shadow of what they were months ago.

    They didn't have any striker available today though.


    Enache (their only player currently in the national team) is always a threat on the right. The playmaker Laban, international with Cyprus, has a good left foot. And the unruly Budescu, who didn't play today, has genial executions despite being lazy as *.
    Their defence is slow and not solid at all.

    Questions should be asked if we lose this one. Can't be losing any more home games
