    I was thinking more of a back ten.

    We need Steele to put in a performance like Lars Leese did at Anfield in the premier league. Shame his legs aren't as long as Leese's , he save at least 5 with his feet.

    I think back also to us nicking the points at Bellend Road when Leeds got promoted out of division 2 around 1990 & playing Gerry Taggart in midfield!

    Two of our finest backs to the wall performances.

    i genuinely don't believe tactics come into it. whatever formation we play, they will cut through it. for me, it's the old cliches. get at them from the whistle, don't give them too much respect and leave everything out there on the pitch. i'm as certain as i can be in football, that we will lose. i just hope we give them a game and not just freeze and capitulate. i want to come back with a sense of pride, not humiliation.

    beyond that, the most important factor for me is that we escape unscathed. more injuries would be a big blow to our run-in

    Or like Luke did at Anfield on his BFC debut, which was even better? :)

    Don't be giving them ideas. Although if we played a back ten and defended so deep that all 11 players were in our own six yard box City wouldn't even be able to score and we'd get them back for a replay :)

    We are rubbish with a back 4 though, we have been all season, well if a couple of players are in the side we are worse than other times, but we cant play a flat back 4. The only time we have done anything all season is with wing backs.

    A back four will be annihilated.

    I wing backs would be, Clichy and Zabaleta would offer too much support to their wide players for us to cope with.

    Unless we play 4 in front of a back 5.
