I suspect he is giving them a chance to impress. Expect many changes at half time.

Please god we are not playing 433 as suggested on Albion website with Gross part of the three. For me that was when it really started to go wrong last season when he came back from injury and CH played him as part of a three instead of further forward. Wasted there. I would be excited to see him in the middle of the forward three in a 4231 with Trossard and March either side.
with his contract and a bottle of Tippex, in hand.

We haven't seen the Fulham team sheet yet....No Knockaert?

This is pretty funky huh? Sell a fan favourite and then pick the team that got Hughton the sack, formation and all.
Surreal day.
What team were some people expecting? We haven't signed a right back so Montoya is first choice, we haven't signed any first team CM's and Bissouma is injured so we're starting with Stephens and Propper. Murray has been our main goalscorer throughout the past two seasons and unless we sign someone else I assume he will continue as first choice. The only question mark comes on the wings and it has been suggested that Potter won't play with out and out wingers so perhaps he's giving Locadia a go more centrally than he was playing last season. I'm sure Trossard and Jahanbakhsh will get 45 mins anyway.
Finally, it's a pre season friendly - not a competitive game so I'm sure Potter is still assessing his options both tactically and personnel wise before the season starts.

Was secretly hoping Potter had seen enough of some of the old guard to get rid, and got enough out of some of the new players to do something fairly bold. Would love to see a front 4 of Ali J, Trossard, Andone and Locadia...not because I rate them, but because I was hoping last year was just a cock up.
Clearly the Valencia game will be a stronger indication of Potter's plans, but it is just a bit disconcerting that the team he has picked in the first proper friendly is the EXACT team (and maybe even formation) that CH would pick.
Still, we know from last night that he's not afraid to move the players around.
And it's only a friendly.

Why oh why oh why?
Or does he play this for the first half, grinding out a dull 0-0 at half time, then make wholesale changes at half time:
"Let's Potterball!"
BOOM! 5-4 at full time.
(to them, of course...)

Think it will be a 4-2-3-1, that is what GP likes. He changes to a 5-3-2 often during games (like last night) not sure how that will work with current line up tho?

Pick the first team players we've got plus the new signing? What else were you expecting?

I think it was in the great book Brilliant Orange that the writer talks to Cruyff about how, as a young player, he would try and hit the bar or post on purpose to build up the excitement for his eventual goals.
Potter is doing something like this now. Genius.

Blimey that looks familiar.
It's almost as if CH was selecting the best players before he got the punt.
