         egil                     yorke

It is hard to drop egil and dwight after 2 great wins but if the 3 players in doubt are available to start i feel we have to go with them, may not be at their fittest but have the abilities to get us a vital away goal, and maybe even go on and win this leg.

Nils maybe making mistakes, but i feel that it could be even more costly making rash changes, when we have a settled 4, i know we are still conceding goals, but im not over keen on taylor at r/b or curtis after his alledged poor performances in the reserves.

Although I can see the arguement for including Tugay, for me, as much as it pains me to say it, we look a lot more solid when we play Flitcroft in the middle instead. I think we could use someone who will upset the Celtic rhythm, a la Sparky at the Worthy Cup Final.

like the post tugay4england, not playing a player that you really like in favour of the teams chances, although I would definately have him in the lineup if we were going 4-5-1.

Below is a site that i had visited regarding availability of accomodation for the thursday night, not being a season ticket holder has put the downers on the trip, so i thought i could at least do a little to maybe help others that can go (you may have already seen it):

to those that have not booked places to stay, good luck with finding accomodation (it should not be to hard).

i did not want to go to celtic anyway!
