I fancy us tonight as hope that Saturday's performance has boosted the confidence levels.
I am quite excited about Razak given that a Brighton supporting mate told me that he was 'really class, controlled the midfield and a level above the rest' when he was on loan with them last year. That's a fair compliment to anyone playing in such a decent footballing side. Sounds exactly what we need. That said he will probably fall over repeatedly and misplace every pass he hits tonight just to spite me.
If we pick up where we left off on Saturday then I can see us getting a couple of early goals then putting us through it by hanging on for the rest of the match.
JJ's injury may solve a problem for Chrissy in how to fit Razak into the team. I think Hollands has a lot more to offer offensively than we have seen over the last year as he's basically playing a role to enable Stephens/Pritch, etc to get forward.
Maybe having that specialist defensive midfielder on board now will free him up to make the late runs into the box that he was good at at AFCB.
Whilst the Udinese Ferrero-Rocha is doing a triple salko with a half inch pike across the penalty box, Big Ric (still not sober) will offer out their man between the sticks, accusing him of spilling his pint, allowing BWP to slide in the one and only goal of the game.
If we play like we did on Saturday we've got a good chance. I liked the fluid 4-5-1 to 4-3-3 format we played against Rovers but Danny and Salim have got to give more support to the lone striker. Have a feeling that Danny Hollands will be dropped for Abdul Razak with the incredible Hulse on the bench.

2-1. Big Ric (if he has sobered up) and Greeny.
This will be much tougher than Blackburn who were only at about half speed.
Will SCP stick with one up front?
Either way, we are still missing three of our best players and Jackson always seems to be sorely missed.
Can't see anything better than 1-1 in front of very small crowd.

will be looking at any irregular betting patterns tonight/floodlights failing if we're in front.
To the tune of 'we all dream of a team of ......'
Your whole team are loaned Italians, are loaned Italians..... Number 1s Italian, number 2 Italian
