Things to hope for today

One: that Ruddy has a really good game. We know he can be class. We want England to see that. Eyes will really be on him today because of the Hart dropping. I really hope he plays like we all know he can. Come on Big John!!!

Two: that we Bring On The Murphy, and that he isn't overawed and does done high speed bobby dazzling. He's young, he's unscarred by failure, he's chock full of confidence and he's a potential star. Gawn Murph, get on that plane to Brazil!!

Three: that Bradders gets back to Good Bradders - tough, snarling, combative, "no way through here chum" Bradders. And that he gets to play simple passes. And doesn't shoot!

Four: that Howson carries on surging forward. He didn't last season, he is this, and he looks great doing it. Don't go back in your shell, Lego!

Five: that we don't get any more injuries.

Six: that the travelling fans do us proof whatever the score and don't get at Hoots or the team.

If even half of those things happen then we'll have positives to take.
