Still no Tomkins. Obinna in, Ba out.

So, Grant has definitely come over all Ancelloti, not knowing which of his strikers he prefers. One week it is Piquionne, Keane and Ba and the next it is Cole and Keane. I called for these two for this game so I'm not moaning about that.

The introduction of Obinna is interesting. I trust it signals a return to 4-4-2 whilst revealing the paucity of cover for left midfield. Collison isn't ready, Dyer is Dyer, Boa seems to have been written off so Obinna is the only option.

The persistence with da Costa at the expense of Tomkins is, in my opinion, stupid. I fear Bent will find space between  the slow of feet Upson and the slow of thought da Costa, and that could cost us. Although Tomkins isn't on the bench and so presumably is injured.

Team:

Green

Jacobsen, da Costa, Upson, Bridge

O'Neil, Noble, Hitz, Obinna

Cole Keane

One last thought, who holds in midfield?
