[Albion] Team v WBA

[Two Professors]

Hagerty F
Hagerty R, Tomkins, Noble, Carrick,
Dobson, Crapper, Dewhurst,
MacIntyre, Treadmore, Davitt

Is that the Trumpton fire brigade?

Is that the Trumpton fire brigade?

No. Eight bloody One!

 

[Left Footer]

I wouldn`t risk Dunk or Duffy for this one and rest for the Fulham game so would expect Balogun and Burn to be central pairing.

Could be wrong but didn`t WBA put out a weak team against Wigan in the last round?

 

[Marshy]

Steele

Bruno
Bong
Balogun
Burn

Knockaert
Kayal
Bissouma
Stephens
Locadia

Andone

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

I might have Andone on the bench but I would not have him in the starting 11. Murray can start and see if he can hit some form. We need Andone for Fulham and what follows.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I would stick with the same team that won the last round , reward those who did an excellent job .... obviously dependant on Bissouma's & Bernado's injurys

Burn in for Duffy but only if CH thinks he has done enough in training to justify a start , but lets give it a real good go this season as we have the chance for real progress with less mental stress on relegation worries

Hmmm l take your point about playing the same starting eleven, but as for less mental strength . . . the threat of relegation is still very real. We are far from safe from the drop yet.

 

[SockMonster]

I get the cast of Trumpton and Camberwick Green mixed up.
I'm ok with Chigley though.
Was Chippy Minton in Trumpton and was Windy Miller a man or a woman.

Pretty sure Windy Miller was a man.......but I guess his long coat and hat may have been hiding his real body shape or perhaps he really identified as a woman.

 

[BensGrandad]

I have just two problems with that, I don't see both Dan Burn and Balogun playing together. As Burn is still untried at this level l would put the experience of Dunk or Duffy alongside him. It's the old problem up front too, Hughton won't play with two central strikers.

It is an ideal opportunity to try Andone and Murray together as I cannot remember them being tried together. If it works we have learnt something if not take one of them off and bring on Gyokeres.

[B52]

I like this team

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I'd like to stick with the 433 we now use, with that in mind :

Steele

Bruno
Burn
Balogun
Bong

Kayal
Sanders
Bissouma ?

Knockaert
Murray
Gyokeres

This gets my vote. Gyokeres and Sanders must feature IMHO.

And in related news:

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Connolly is injured

and you can't play 12 !

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If there is any chance that Bernardo won't be fit for Fulham, then we might not risk Bong in this one either.

So maybe a surprise left back pick.

Solly March?

 

[RM-Taylor]

I don't think Bong will play. Has Bernardo been ruled out? Other options at left-back are Alex Cochrane who has played there most recently for the U23s in the past couple of games plus in the Checkatrade Trophy nonsense, and also there is Welshman Archie Davies, who we signed 2 years ago now for the then Development Squad.

 

[RM-Taylor]

My line-up guess:

Steele; Bruno (c), Balogun, Burn, Cochrane; Sanders, Kayal, Bissouma; Knockaert, Andone, Gyokeres

I presume you mean Jordan Davies, who hasn't played since going off injured against Swansea City on November 26 - U23 REPORT: SWANSEA CITY 2 ALBION 3

.. Rusk was forced into his first change of the game in the 64th minute, as Davies went down with an ankle injury, which opened the door for his namesake Archie to enter the field as his replacement.
