Team for Leeds

[GJN1]

Just play Liam Rosenior and nobody else. Just him. Job done.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Murray ran himself into the ground against Derby and needs a week to recover IMHO *(judging by his Newcastle performance) so he should start. I'd have Hemed in for Birmingham & Wigan as they come a few days after other fixtures Murray would start.

Adekugbe is down to play for the U23s tonight, at Villa

Lasted 9 minutes.

Lets hope Seb is back then!

Lets hope Seb is back then!

If not hopefully Bruno will be ok so we will be unchanged.

 

[sir albion]

Very simple unchanged starting XI but a more defensive bench in case needed so perhaps Towell or even possibly Forren for Akpom.

Defensive bench?
Why would you want that when you seek wins?

 

[chaileyjem]

How are Newcastle, Huddersfield & the Albion going to react to a defeat, or two?

Huddersfield are yet to be properly tested.

Does losing to Newcastle (or Man City come to that) not count. ?

Hughton didn't rule Poco out for Saturday. Says he is close.
"Seb is close. I think we’re more confident of Blackburn after the international break, but certainly we’re not ruling him out of Leeds."

"Vegard [Forren] at this moment wouldn’t be up to speed" - Hughton at weekend.
Towell is seen as an Akpom/Baldock no 10, like for like and was used on the bench v Rotherham when Akpom was injured ( he came on for 10 mins at 2-0 for Baldock, missed a sitter).

 

[Eeyore]

For all our moans about the international break I rather think we could do with it.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Kayal and Stephens + some others

 

[GT49er]

Lasted 9 minutes.

Oh dear - what happened? Serious?

Cheers.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Stockdale
Any four fit defenders
Knockaert Kayal Stephens Skalak
Baldock Murray

Attack as much as possible and keep the ball at the far end.

BG is our defensive coach

Tomori is starting kill me now

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Bruno has not ruled out being fit to lead Albion for the 83rd time in 85 league games at Leeds on Saturday after limping out of Friday’s win against Derby with a groin injury.

“It was prevention, because my groin was feeling tight,” he said. “Three games in six days and we were 2-0 up. It was the right decision to be sensitive, hoping to be fit on Saturday.”

Fingers crossed.

Certainly. Have you got a gun I could borrow? Tomori will be fine played in his natural position. You've only got to see how he looks around before he receives the ball to see that he will be a quality player given a chance. Unfortunately some people aren't prepared to give anyone a chance unless they have a 10/10 in their first game. Only person I've seen do that is Abdul Razak, and look how he turned out!

Nice positive first post by the way.
