wendyredredrobin Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well, we have Tuesday night footie again when the mighty reds will take on a fairly decent WBA team not too far up the M5 with the chance of hitting the top of the table following a run of 4 wins on the bounce. Not too often have we been able to say that. 1615 away tickets havecurrently been sold, so we are sure of a decent following. Team selection will be interesting. Do we play Matty or Fam up front, do we play 5 at the back or 5 in yhe middle or opt for a 442? With 3 games in 6 days, do we need a bit of rotation? Whilst we sit one point off the top, Albion are 3 points behind on 11 and will be looking to get into the top 6 themselves. Wes Hoolahan amd James Morrison are facing late fitness tests and may start. LJ is keeping fairly quiet about any knocks that may be affecting us. Match kicks off at 8pm at The Hawthorns and can be watched on BCTV or the Sky red button. Commentary as usual on Radio Brizzle. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, better to be 15 mins early than 15 mins late as I found missing the first goalv QPR I think I would second your score draw prediction butas always hope to come back with 3 points.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Taylor and Weimann up front I hope- press, harry, exploit- Taylor rested for a lot of Saturday's game but not a full game so he still has some energy in the legs- WBA will concede chances.

Would rather have him for the first 60 in 3 games than 90 in 2. Other than that Taylor and Fam are both gonna put a shift in but don't know enough about WBA to say what I would prefer.

I feel our current defence has clicked Why would Baker play? If he’s fit he might be on the bench. The current back four have conceded one in four games, and that Blackburn goal was a fluke.

Son of Fred Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Would start this with five in the middle & double up on 'that phillips whenever possible-very useful player & if we stifle him we'll be ok. If not it could be a long evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 The Baggies are very good in attack and very slow at the back . We need pace , movement and agression to get in behind them . I fancy Weiman and Taylor can create havoc in their box . We should have a good chance of a result there. West Brom haven't clicked yet so let's make sure they don't tonight. Our boys need to be alert to rapid counters but I would favour getting at them from the off . 1-2 weiman Pato .

Garland-sweden Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Tricky game, they are favourites but we can win or draw. Saw them on streaming vs Brum. Good offensive players but the defence looked not solid. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree- I have doubts about this, and IMO whether he presses as well as Taylor or Weimann- don't just mean in terms of workrate but in terms of the key areas. Putting him on in the last 20 if the game is close and the WBA defence is tiring maybe an excellent move though, but it doesn't strike me as a night for Diedhiou from the off.

They were , according to their forum , lucky against Norwich and QPR were worse than terrible. They will take some stopping If and when they get the balance right.

Hartleysbeard Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 reckon we'll line up as we started on Saturday to combat WBA in the same way we did with Sheffield United as these two opponents appear to adopt similar formations. Matt Phillips looks like the one to stop down the right, so having both Kelly and Dasilva marshalling that area of the pitch will suit us well and hopefully nullify his threat. No need to change things up unless there's obvious fatigue with any player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBrizzleRobin Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Skybet have us at nearly 3-1 to win and a 1-0 win at 11-1 can't say I'm not tempted. Very tough away game but worth a small flutter I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 My heart is telling me that we are due a result there and that WBA have weaknesses we can exploit. My head is telling me our winning run will come to an end with a defeat. We don't seem to have a good record in the Midlands. Hopefully we'll put on a good performance whatever the result.
