[Albion] Team for season defining match v Huddersfield

[drew]

ffs

Excellent insightful contribution.

 

[Petee]

Excellent insightful contribution.

Probably meant something along the lines of 'you're an idiot' and I am inclined to agree.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Unchanged I reckon. Only possible changes are Stephens if fit would surely come in for Kayal and March perhaps for Locadia. Cant see him dropping Murray.
Do we think Locadia could play as the lone striker by the way?

Not good enough in the air for me.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would pick:

Ryan
Schelotto....Duffy.....Dunk.....Bong
March.....Propper.....Izquierdo
Gross
Locadia.....Murray​

This is assuming Stephens is not fit. If he is revert to our usual 4=4=1=1,

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Can anyone actually see Stoke and Southampton winning 2 games more in the run in?

 

[dazzer6666]

Not good enough in the air for me.

Didn’t he even admit this himself in an interview ? We have to have either Murray or Ulloa in the middle, or as part of two up front.

 

[maltaseagull]

Murray will start ahead of Ulloa and, disappointingly, he'll stick with Bong unless he's injured! Also, don't see the point of Baldock on the bench. Not good enough for PL so might as well have knockaert on the bench. If you need someone to play behind Murray then you could move either Izquierdo or Loccadia to that position.

Isn't Knocky still banned?

 

[Surrey Phil]

Bit worried if Stephens is not fully fit & plays, Udds may kick him around the park and finish him off!

 

[BensGrandad]

I believe that we have to go for Huddersfield and attack them as we will be in trouble if we allow Mooy and Pritchard to dictate the midfield.

 

[raymondo]

It's not season defining.

It could be if we win ☺

On what point? Moving Loccadia or Izquierdo to the middle if necessary or my view of Baldock? Or my usual view of Bong.

See post 13.

 

[The Large One]

Concerned for this one. Wagner seems to know how to play against us, and 2 of our worst performances of the last couple of seasons were against them.

Only up there. Not down here.

SSN reporting that HTFC striker Kachunga out for the season with ankle injury.

 

[BensGrandad]

From our point of view I hope it is true but not from his.

 

[GT49er]

Ryan

Bong
Dunk
Duffy
Greyhound

Jose
Stephens
Propper
March

Gross

Ulloa

Why on earth would you play Bong at RB?

 

[BensGrandad]

Why on earth would you play Bong at RB?

That is the way youngstes lay out their teams nowadays from left to right see also Jose, when traditionally it was always right to left

Yep.

Says the man who wants to put Propper in midfield on his own!

 

[Weststander]

We need pace and legs in a 5 man midfield.

Hudd desperately need the 3 points, so Wagner will use his usual anti-Albion tactics of all action Gegenpressing, trying to blitz us.

Let's match that, then counter with pace.
