Let's get straight to the point here (and apologies to Youngy if you read this but you might want to look away now...) - let's get 3 points closer to safety and stick another nail in Boro's coffin. No room for sentiment here - we have to beat Boro and beat them well this afternoon. A good performance is long overdue so let's make it today.
In terms of team news, who knows? I doubt Megson will change things too much but I'd be tempted to chuck Smolarek in for Elmander. Elmander isn't up to the job whilst Smolarek surely deserves a chance having scored 4 midweek for Poland. Ok, it was against San Marino but none-the-less, 4 goals against anyone at international level is an impressive feat. My good brother-in-law Wally believes that Smolarek is too light-weight to fit into a Megson style team and, whilst he may have a point, I'd still be tempted to chuck him in. Davo can do all the hard work (and he should have a point to prove following Capello's very definite snub against him this week) so let's make good use of Ebi's obvious finishing ability.
Head says 2-1 Bolton. Heart says 5-0. Come on you whites!
PS - Good luck to the legend that is Big Al too.
