Morning all, another Jonny-come-lately, long time bystander, first time poster here.
For the record, 28, South Wales valleys.....and brie.
Any thoughts for tonights starting XI? Any news on when Traore is available?
I'd like to see:
Kenny
Young, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo
SWP, Diakite, Barton, Smith
Taarabt
Zamora
Subs: Cerny, Onouha, Gabbidon, Buszaky, Mackie, Bothroyd, Campbell
I think Mackie can do a job from the bench if needed, Smith provides a balance and goalscoring threat, SWP has had time to stew on the bench and has shown matchwinning quality in the past we need him to reproduce. I'd give Taarabt the free-role he had last year as they can't have forgotten how he tore them apart at Loftus Road...plus we can use the new and improved Adel to track back and mark Leon Britton when not in possession.
That's what I think is best so it obviously won't happen. I think MH will go with:
Kenny
Onouha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo
Mackie, Barton, Diakite, Buszaky, Taarabt
Zamora
Subs: Cerny, Young, Gabbidon, Mackie, SWP, Bothroyd, Campbell |  | | |  |

I agree that Hughes will go with the formation that you think he will - basically replacing Derry with Buzz...seems to make sense - crowd out the swansea midfield and then feed mackie and taarabt [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Yeah Zamora for Betty and Barton for Derry and that's it.
Can see this being a MackieZaky night. |  | | |

I think this is a game where you've got to have Jamie in. Ideal player to harrass them while the're playing keep ball. Teams like Swansea hate players like him. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

Barton and Zamora for Derry and Jay are done.
What I’d also like to see is SWP for Mackie, and Yong for Nedium. Mackie ran his heart out on Saturday, and with Scott Sinclair being rested for the Swan’s last game, I would be tempted to bring back SWP. I know he hasn’t done what we expected since he’s been here, but one thing I will say about him, SWP does decent defensive work, against Sinclair this will be needed.
I would also like to see Luke Yong come in at Right back. I think he’s a better attacking threat than Nedium and I like his attitude, he presses and harries as well, which against Swansea, is crucial. I do like a settled defence though so should Hughes leaves it be, I wouldn’t be critical.
I think we’ll win tonight, I just hope the referee and linesmen don’t decide the game. Man for man I would take this Rangers team over Swansea, what I’m starting to see from the sidelines is a togetherness, something there’s not been much of this season. If the players win over the crowd — which they’re starting to do — we’ll be alright.

No way would I have Young over Onuoha. The defence is beginning to look a bit like something that resembles a unit and it would be good to keep them together for the rest of the season.
SWP for Mackie is a possible, purely on energy grounds, as Mackie must have been tired after Sunday, but he's had 72 hours to recover and if he seems OK then I'd keep him in.

Same team as Arsenal, it could be a similar game. |  |
| Wish I could be like David Watts |

completely agree about keeping the defensive unit together intact. After an upturn in recent performances a clean sheet must be on the cards sometime soon, and that will do their confidence the world of good | |

Alternative is to go 442, drop Buzacky and play Campbell alongside Zamora
Thoughts? | | | |

We played well down there and should have won, with Helga up front on his own.
We managed to push them back as the game went on, although they started quite well. It could be the same again tonight - gradually wearing them down. Patience. Mackie scored down there. | | | |

There is an outside chance that DJ might come in for Buz, but I doubt it. He's found a formation that seems to work and it makes sense to stick with it now.
Anyone worried that Mackie might be tired hasn't watched Mackie very much. The boy is a machine. |  |

agree, let the team hold a shape and unleash Mackie on them like an anti social dog in the local park to harry their centre backs as they pass it back and forth |  | | |

Vitally important that Hughes has the full backs schooled to show Dyer & Sinclair inside every time. Clutter up the centre of the park and stifle Swansea. They will hurt us getting in behind us, not by playing infront of us, and in a cluttered midfield I honestly fancy Diakite to dominate them. | | | |

I would start with the 'OR'
and if it all starts to go Pete Tong (Which of course it wont) then go with the first option
But Campbell did look lively on Sunday so deserves an appearance tonight |  | | |

I'm a bit wary of Siggurdson's long range shooting, could easily get into positions like Scholes did on Sunday!
Hopefully Hughes will have taken note on how to nullify Swansea and we'll cause them some problems.
We should be more motivated than them, although i suspect some of their players may remember the thrashing last season. | | | |
