You don't have to justify your sex life or lack of it to anyone. Don't forget that this is the internet. I look like George Clooney and I am hung like Arnold Schwarzenegger but I still prepare my own butties and make my own dresses. Plus, I have been told that I am very good in bed as well. Apparently, I can sleep for hours.

P.S. I draw the line at cardboard cut-out girlfriends. Too many paper cuts.

So come on. Back to the football and my favourite question. Who should play?

Now, I think we did ok at Newcastle and were unlucky with the result. The substitutions were poor but our all round play was decent. So who starts, and how do we approach it?

Well taking a leaf out of JayJay's book i'd start Josh Vela!!

Lets get Physical.

ReoCoker, Prats, N'gog and Kev can all press run work hard and close down Swansea, obviously this is important given their possession game, this is why ive left out Klasnic and M.davies, we need to close them down.

Kev is up front because I think we need to go down the wings and whip in crosses, obviously hes the best candidate to get a head on it (N'gogs had a few good aerial chances recently which Kev would have buried) + hes been performing much better recently.

Given N'gogs ability to hold the ball and make a good pass + his work rate (and his lack of ability to score) I think he could be good just behind Kev, supplying him and the wings, and helping the midfield out. One of the main problems for N'gog this season is that when he gets and holds the ball which he often does, he has no one around him, so why not just play him a bit deeper, seems simple enough.

Not a fan of Prats but with no Muamba hes the only choice.

Defence for me picks itself.

Would love to slot Sordell in but dont know enough about him yet other than hes fast.. so I cant say were he could fit in.

I think Muamba has had long enough off now so would put him in the starting 11.......

On a serious note, I would go 4-5-1 and I reckon OC will play the same side as he did against Newcastle.

I feel its over for us with wigan doing so well. I can see us losing to swansea and QPR beating spurs. Hope not but i have no confidence in coyle or the players.

Just for the record Swansea are mathematically certain now of staying in the Premier League but will that mean they will go through the motions or relax and play great football?

I don't know!

Brendan might rest a few like he did when we played them in the FA Cup. After Wigan's performances we simply HAVE to turn up and win the game to put pressure on Blackburn and QPR. I still reckon we can win it.

P.S. If Sordell is match fit then I would like to see him on the pitch.

Love to see Sordell and Vaz Te as a striking pair up front

That Gylfi Sigurdsson is awesome. I bet they don't get him permanently.

We absolutely have to try something a little different.

If I was manager boss I would play like this...



Err or something like that.

Bogdan
Steinsson Reem Wheater Ricketts
Wylde NRC Pratley Ryo
Sordell Petrov

Ngog, Mavies, etc on the bench.

We completely matched Swansea at the Liberty playing 4-5-1 until Gardner got sent off. If Clueless had stuck to his guns after that game, we might now be safe.

Sadly I think Coyle will have been impressed by Davies' decent 45 minutes against Newcastle, and we'll spend an hour lumping it hopelessly up to him.
I also have a feeling Coyle will make Myaichi suffer for the final 6 games, and we'll have TOWIE out on the right.

Apart from Sordell that's pretty much the team I would expect from Coyle, he hasn't used him as a sub for months so he isn't going to suddenly start him sady.

SKD up front on his own would be my striker I would expect coyle to pick.

SKD?

SuperKevinDavies.....................

Coyle will pick the usual suspects. He hasn't got the balls to start with Sordell upfront.

It's a game we MUST win. With Fat Sam or Megson in charge I think we'd grind out a result. With Fanny in charge it'll be 2-0 Swansea.
