He's looked terific in pre season as has LuaLua. I think if they botgh got the nod then we would be a much more threatening team. My pick for Sunday would be :-Harper
O'Brian ...... Hughes ........ Dabizas
Solano ................................... Bernard
Acuna ........ Lee ........
Robert
Bellamy ............................ LuaLua
with subs of Speed , Griffin, Ameobi, Given and Elliot

Is Robert not better out wide? Although without Cort or Shearer there is no one to get on the end of crosses.

I think Robert would be better given a free role, with instructions to switch from left to right wing whenever he wanted to, or even going through the middle.

Lets face it he is one of a few players who has any skill at the moment. So I guess he can do what the hell he wants out there!

From the quotes off Sky Sports News, it seems that Robson is set to start with a very similar team to the one that "played" Troyes.This probably means the entire defence will stay, and Quinn will be replaced by Robert.
I really hope Griffin is played, man marking Arca, with Acuna and Bassedas in midfield probably.
Griffin and Elliott can be the most physical players in our team when they want to be, and that's what we need against the league's dirtiest team (and that's official)
Do you think our extra day's rest will make any difference? It also sounds like Robert is raring to go? What's the odds that he'll score in the first 10 minutes?
