[Albion] Veltman

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

If (as seems likely) he doesn't play - what will GP do?

White to RWB and BDB bought in the centre (shame IMO to break up the back three)

Alzate to RWB - that's what I's go for

What are the other options ?

 

[severnside gull]

Moder?

 

[Gwylan]

What are the other options ?

Karbownik can play on left or right - he's also a genuine WB

 

[albionfan37]

I would think alzate to rwb or March comes across and burn lwb I’m hoping that it’ll be alzate as we need to be nimble with the ball and I don’t fancy bdb against salah

 

[Mackenzie]

White moves across, Burn goes to left sided centre back.

 

[Marshy]

White moves across, Burn goes to left sided centre back.

I suspect it will be this but would love a bold look at Karbownik

 

[Swansman]

I expect the first solution, White RWB and Burn going into central defense.

If not, it becomes very interesting obviously. One option would be March as RWB and Burn as LWB, keeping White in central defense. If not White or March, probably we'll see someone who is normally a central midfielder, though not necessarily Alzate. Pröpper, Moder, Gross... I wouldnt even be surprised to see Jenks or Weir (or Karbo) starting - managers giving players their first start in a game where there is very little expectations and very little to lose is not uncommon. I almost expect to see a very frightening/exciting name in the lineup tonight.

Me too. A big ask for a debut but there is a lot of excitement about this player. Would really to see what the fuss is about

Would be fun, but when he came back about two weeks ago someone said he's not even been training for the last six weeks, makes me think he is not ready yet.

I'll be very surprised if it's anyone other than White. But I have been very surprised by many of the lineups this season!

 

[schmunk]

The Polish league has a winter break, so Moder's last match was 19 December. Karbownik got injured sometime in December, so his last match was 5 December and I think he arrived in the UK still 'injured'.

They were however both training in the pics/video released by the Club a few days ago.

My Pick Potter's Picks is this but...

Me too!

 

[amexer]

as long as its not Salah up against Burn

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Do we know that Veltman is defo being rested/unavailable?

 

[Surf's Up]

as long as its not Salah up against Burn

This, whatever the question Burn cannot be the answer (this season).

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Is he definitely out?

 

[portslade seagull]

Mind games hopefully and he will play

 

[Swansman]

Do we know that Veltman is defo being rested/unavailable?

Nope, said they were going to assess him and Mac Allister closer to the game.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Belisa played Bissouma at right back for Lille so that MUST be his best position (this isn't going to happen)
