We need to be really solid in midfield in the first half and up front we somehow have to get past Wes Morgan and co. So without too much expectation I'd start with

Kuszczak

Bruno
Greer
ElAbd
Bridge

David Lopez
Bridcutt
Hammond
Crofts

Dobbie
CMS

Well if they can't spot that how can they hold a serious opinion on the make-up and tactics of the team!?
Like I said, when they're writing it on here. If they genuinely haven't noticed than you are right, but then most people's opinions are terrible anyways.

Pressure is Off

If fit I think Orlandi will start and we will play with 5 in midfield and CMS as a loan striker. Do not think Buckley will start as we will be more defensive and look for a draw or sneak a win rather than go out all attack.

Orlandi is injured. The snag Leicester have got is individually every Albion player is a better player (whoever we play and unlike last year) so we play 4-3-3 an d hope they do not park the bus. They have more experience but less potential. And their home record expects. They don't really stand a chance if we can take advantage.

0-0 is par. If we want promotion we will have do better than that. 0-3 away is not out of the question. Depends on Gus really. He has no excuses for this match. He is on trial.

Macca will play definitely and Wayne Bridge is the best player in the Championship bar a fit Vicente.

What has happened to Neil Danns? He would make a good left back sub replacement for Painter ??? Only player in their side I rate a little.

Orlandi is out injured. David instead?

Oh dear, that isn't good. I can't access our official site at the moment so I wasn't too sure why he was missing.

I wouldn't be in a rush to play David, thoroughly unimpressed by him so far but he does need games under his belt, so to speak. Without Orlandi and Vicente, I would play him tomorrow night ahead of Barnes and Hammond because he should give us better balance but both he and Buckley prefer to play on the right so we'd be heaviky reliant on Bridge to dominate the left flank. Even so, I would rather David to LuaLua.

Bridge could play where ever he liked, that man is a boss!

It amuses me that so many don't have Barnes in the team. I reckon he is a certain starter for away games for his defensive qualities.

I'd agree with this. I'd like to see Dobbie given a start, and feel Barnes is probably the man best suited to make way for him. At the end of the day, we are struggling to score goals, so something has to give.

If we play one striker and 5 in midfield despite having the best full-backs in the league, we will probably lose narrowly yet again and the chance to kick start our season will be gone. However, if we give it a go by playing a sensible but attacking line up, we give ourselves a chance to win the game. And then we'd be a single point behind Leicester and probably only 2 or 3 points off the top. It is a game which could really define our season.

Same starting eleven at Saturday not my choice but going by Gus's comments after the game he was not too disappointed and expects them to click.
