[Albion] Team for Bournemouth.

This is a 'must win' game so we shouldn't even be considering Baldock in the starting Xl

Line ups of absolutely zero creativity through the middle.

Bournemouth have little creativity in their midfield either, with Lewis Cook possibly being their most forward thinking midfielder but not getting a consistent run in their team. I get the impression that they will mimic "our" 4-4-1-1 to try and match what they think we'll play, much like they did in the reverse fixture by shoving King in the Gross role. Particularly with them playing away from home and not being renowned for their defensive exploits. A 4-4-2 would be a good match to that formation and would be worth trialling at least for the first half

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of good old fashioned 4-4-2 for a home game

Ryan
Bruno-Goldson -Dunk-Suttner
Knockaert-Kayal-Gross-Propper
Murray-Baldock

Subs Hemed Stephens Duffy March Izquierdo Krul Schelotto

Is that a 4-4-2 with Propper on the wing?

Presumably for his pace, ability to beat players and crossing ability?

Of course we have been so creative in the last 10 matches, haven't we?

I know this is so last year, but are we allowed to play Dunk and Knockaert after five yellow cards?

They are not banned - cut off was Burnley game for 5 bookings

 

[adub68]

Not according to the BBC - says both banned.

FA website says cutoff 31 Dec.

Banned per the guardian too.

I'd play kayal for knockaert and baldock for march.

I think the thing we've missed the most this season is Baldock creating space for others to play in - we always played better as a team last season when Baldock was playing. I would be more than happy for him to start (if he's fit enough to), although how Gross would also fit in I'm not sure. It may also mean we're light in midfield when we don't have the ball. Guess I'll leave it for Hughton to figure out.

Think it will be

Schelloto-Dunk-Duffy-Suttner
Stephens-Propper
Knockaert-gross-izqueirdo
Murray

It seems confusion as FA changed rules for cut off this season from 31 Dec to 19th game (Burnley). Happy days!

The cut off is which ever came first, 19 games or the 31st December rule change this season, as some clubs played their 19th game after December 31st last year and had an unfair advantage over those who played before the cut off.

 

[HantsSeagull]

anyone who thinks baldock will or should start is bonkers. no game time for nearly a year apart from a run out with under 23s about two months ago. no chance.

Baldock must get a run today imho.

 

[The Camel]

I expect a lot of changes.

The second game in 3 days, with 700 odd miles travelling to play the first game, is extremely tough.

Seems unfair that Bournemouth get a home game followed by their most local away game.
