Silva is fighting for his managerial place and if the team are behind him then they will do everything within their power to try and win the game in order to prevent him leaving.
Poch may well continue to baffle us with his team selection. Danger is that if apathy and disinterest does prevail within the dressing room, then we may not see such a committed and positive attitude as we and he would like.
The last thing we need to do is underestimate the importance of this game in relation to our league position and the manager's status. A win is vital for both.
