I'm feeling strangely positive tonight and have a hunch we will get the much needed win at Blackburn and results go in our favour meaning we will be feeling a hell of a lot better about ourselves, the run in and more importantly, the future.
That aside, our team selection will be crucial and for me, the biggest question mark hanging over this game is who plays up front - will Adebayor be 'fit' in time or is it another Defoe no-show? Regardless of who starts, this has to be like a cup final and as much as the players themselves will need give their all for the cause and bust a gut, the crowd have to be behind the team from the kick off to the final whistle - proper hot atmosphere that shows the footballing world that we are still very much in the hunt and we aren't going to be the laughing stock any longer!
As for the team selection, I'm keeping faith with the mainstays this year and I'm assuming/hoping Adebayor will be back to spearhead the attack;
Friedel
Walker Gallas King BAE
Parker Sandro Modric
VDV Adebayor Bale
Yes, we can look at various players who are under performing of late but for me, this has to be the side and system that is going to give us the best chance of Champions Legue football next year and forgetting all the attention re Redknapp, it's what these players do on the pitch which is of upmost importance.
