My guess.

Code:
                     Kuipers

  El-Abd       Santos       Lynch       Mayo
                     Hammond
               Fraser        Reid
  Hart                                   Cox
                     Revell

Subs: Sullivan, Butters, Loft, Frutos, Robinson.

Also, I wanted to mention the formation vs Bournemouth. Everyone has reported it as 4-4-2 but it didn't look that way too me as you had Frutos wide left, Cox inside left, Hammond center, Fraser inside right. Harty and Revell were swapping around in terms of wide right/up front.

I didn't think it worked at all well in the first half either. I wonder whether he will play 4-4-2 with:

Code:
                     Kuipers

  El-Abd       Santos       Lynch       Mayo
             
  Reid         Fraser       Hammond      Cox

               Hart         Revell

The Official site seems to think its Reid or Fraser though. In which case Frutos may start on the left. I've dropped Frutos in my predictions as I think both Reid and Fraser have done more to deserve a start than Fruity, although he has been improving so it may be worth sticking with him. I think he's much better suited to a 4-4-2 though. He's too high up the pitch in the first formation to make the most of his pace.

regarding the formation , this is a very important point. For me , against B'mouth , our formation was shot to pieces and contributed to the poor performance. Was Fraser right wing , was hart up front or told to drif right, cox in the middle. . . all seemed a miss mash to me ,

I am hoping for this tomorrow

--------------------------Kuipers----------------------------

------Reid----------Santos-------Lynch------Mayo------

----------Fraser-------Hammond--------Frutos----------

------------------------------Cox----------------------------

--------------------Robinson------Revell-------------------




Bench: Sullivan, El-Abd, Butters, Hart, Loft

I know Hart deserves to play, but this way you can bring him in at any of the right side positions where appropriate, best way to maximize options. Robinson also deserves a go against Orient.

Idealy if Butters was fit would start him along side Santos with Lynch moving to left back and mayo dropping to the subs bench.

I agree if butters is fit, but I think he will need to play in a reserve game first before he can play a full 90 minutes?

Borient have the worst defensive record in the league, we should DEFINITELY start our two leading scorers up front together, not out wide, not one up front, BOTH. :clap:

I think the one striker system shows fear, and no ambition. We have lots of young strikers who deserve a go, Jake being at the top of that list. Come on son! :clap2:

i get the feeling that that partnership may struggle somewhat given their age, especially with butters not having had 90 minutes behind him - i would keep it as it currently is at the back
 




I would like this, now that Stokes has gone, I think we need a ball-carrying playmaker in midfield so I'd like to keep Dean Cox there for a few games and see how he develops.

Code:
                     Henderson

  El-Abd       Santos       Lynch       Mayo
             
  Reid         Cox       Hammond       Loft

                 Revell     Hart         





Bench: Kuipers, Butters, Fraser, Frutos, Robinson.

LI, I am sure that you aren't the only Albion fan who would like to see Cox rise to the occasion...
