[Albion] Forest - what to do?

[Milano]

I'm convinced that if we were within 2 goals of Roma then RDZ would be rotating heavily on Sunday, but what to do now? Do you rest players Sunday for a 100/1 shot at a Thursday miracle, or go strong v Forest and know you'll need to rest a few on Thursday, effectively chucking in the towel.

7th feels more achievable than EL R8 right now to me, but......

 

[Stat Brother]

What to do? - Perhaps not coughing up easy goals would be start and a refreshing change from the norm.

Every games at it comes now, we need to build confidence game by game. It’s cold out there and our balls have shrivelled up.

 

[HangletonGull]

We need to go for it the lge my worst fear was we would toss away the lge for Europe and be left with nothing

 

[Weststander]

Play our best XI who are fit. There's no need to be 'smart' or play the long game now.

 

[nwgull]

No, definitely not. Even disregarding the potential for euroean qualification, which I think may be beyond us this year, every position up the PL table is worth 3m. It's definitely worth concentrating on league position now.

Also, we get a 17 day break after the 2nd leg thanks to Man City postponement.

 

[HCxUK]

The strongest possible team against Forest, and then the strongest possible team four days later for Roma. They have over two weeks rest afterwards

 

[Swegulls]

Strongest possible on sunday, four at the back, 1-0, 3 p. We go from there.

 

[amexer]

Play Veltman or Lampty at RB and Pervis at LB

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I wish I could have a rest from plumbing.

 

[brighton_tom]

International break is coming. Strongest 11 in each.

 

[pasty]

Got to go full strength Sunday.

Not saying it’s a “must win” but I do think it is extremely important to win.

We need to bounce back and get a bit of feel good factor back. A 4th defeat on the bounce is most definitely not what we need.

 

[Simster]

Barco to start and obviously we're back to no WBG. Enciso needs more time to regain match fitness or time out to bulk up a bit.

Beyond that, I don't really no. It doesn't feel like we have obvious first XI anyway, and our hand is forced in some departments with no Mitoma, Pedro and March.

 

[Weststander]

This has jolted me to play .

…………..….. Verbruggen ………………

Veltman .. van Hecke .. Dunk .. Estupiñan

………….. Baleba …. Gilmour…………..

Enciso ………..…Groß..……..… Adingra

………………… Welbeck …………………

Ferguson to come on for Welbeck for the last 30m

Buonanotte to come on for Groß for some minutes when the game allows

Lamptey and Barco to provide fresh legs at LB or RB

Igor to come on for one of the CBs when the game allows

Moder for one of the CMs

Fati can come on for Enciso or Aringra if they’re tired

 

[Kosh]

Start with Bart.

(I rather like that.)

Gilmour is suspended on Sunday. The last match of a ridiculously harsh suspension when compared to Holgate.

So swap Gross for Gilmour and Lallana for Gross and I'd be happy with that.

 

[BBassic]

Have to win Sunday. Not for qualification chances or anything like that but just to get some positivity back around the place.

Something tells me you haven't seen him of late.
