[Affy]

[Bob!]

Brian Right Wing, Rutter number 10 do we reckon?

 

[Mustafa II]

Okay, feeling a little bit more excited now I've seen the lineup.

Really think Gruda looks promising. Looking forward to see what he can do with this start.

Really hope Georginio and Pedro can link up expertly today and score a flair goal or two.

Big concern is the defence. Not a lot has changed. Let's hope we have learnt from the defensive disasters in recent fixtures - they're definitely good enough.

 

[Mancgull]

Gruda starts. Let’s see what he can do. Enciso off the bench at some point you’d think.

There’s nearly always a surprise and this time it’s Gruda. Hope he justifies the faith but if not, we have plenty of alternatives on the bench.

 

[Solid at the back]

Pleased for Gruda. Thought he's looked promising.

Surprised not to see Igor back in the side. About time Mitoma stepped up, he hasn't done anything for ages, apart from that goal against Muff.

 

[Hometownglory]

Really feel for Igor. Dropped for no other reason than Dunk being available. Dunk has an absolute mare and he retains his place. I know he's the captain but common.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

3-1 to Palace wasn’t a fine margin

If Mitoma's clear early chance had gone in the game could have been rather different.

I agree with Gruda

Dunk was poor against Palace but think he deserves a bit of loyalty and hopefully he’ll regain his form. Cant continually place faith in him if he doesn’t of course.

Was a decent save

If he doesn't do well today, Igor must come back.. the defence was playing better without Dunk. Eight goals conceded in three games since he returned

I would say he's been average since coming back. I know he's probs a little rusty but I think it's harsh on Igor personally. Yes Dunk deserves loyalty but not at the expense of bad performances.

I'm also a little over his moaning at the ref, should be showing a calm head.

Got to agree about Mitoma. He seems to have lost bit of confidence. Can't remember the last time he beat a player.
Allways seems to stop and pass it back.

 

[Taybha]

Groooooda get up and score a belter

 

[Alex BH]

3-1 to the Albion. Gouda to score

 

[golddene]

What I wanted to see, Wieffer and Baleba as midfield partnership, strength in that department is what we need to try to end this barren spell. Come on Albion !

 

[sagaman]

Strong bench.. Would have liked to see Encisco playing rather than Grids, but what do I know

 

[Bodian]

Big concern is the defence. Not a lot has changed.

Veltman is back. Huge change from the last few games.
