[Albion] Starting XI on 7th August v likely Starting XI v Sheffield Wednesday

[Bozza]

Interesting to look at the starting XI we had on the first day of the season and compare it to the likely side on Monday night, over 9 months later...

D Stockdale
Bruno
G Greer
L Dunk
G Bong
D Stephens A Crofts / R Towell
B Kayal
S March J Murphy
K Lua Lua
S Baldock
T Hemed J Wilson

Three changes. I think Jamie Murphy was injured at the beginning of the season so may well have been in that XI if fit.

We can do this, right?

Thought we didn't sing Murphy till late August?

Ah yes, that'd be it!

That said,think I'd play Murphy as centre forward Monday and have LuLu and Skalak out wide.

Nce idea. Wilson to the bench t have a kip

 

[West Upper Seagull]

I'd play Skalak up front with Murphy and Lua Lua on the wings. Skalak simply has to be on the pitch because his dead ball deliveries will give us a fighting chance of scoring every time we get a set piece.

He doesn't need a rest after last night- he had a lovely 60 minute kip in the centre circle

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

I'd play Towell over Crofts as I think he will offer more of an attacking threat & that's what we need. I firmly believe we WILL do this.
Wilson is a bit of a conundrum, he undoubtedly has the talent but always seems to be half asleep. He really has to prove himself as thus far he has offered glimpses of ability but sometimes just doesn't look as if he gives a fying fluck.
I can't wait, this could be the greatest night EVER.

Thing is without the Hemed/Zamora type player our route to goal is minimal. BUT yes I believe we still can do it.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Rosenior needs to play. He has the fight and desire

 

[Driver8]

Could Skalek play the Stephens role with Lua Lua and Murphy on the wing? He can take all the deadballs then.

 

[saafend_seagull]

We HAVE to be leading 1-0 at half time. They will then be sh*tting themselves.

Any chance of playing Skalak on the right as Knockart seems unlikely to play.

Jiri or Liam, for me.
