That bench is why we are where we are and have to just bare with it this season

notjonh against the lads but there’s very little experience or quality there 

Baker, Williams, King, Semenyo all out injured are they not? They certainly would add to a mix of 1st XI and depth.

Cundy and Conway also out but they're young and fringe players anyway.

Out of interest, why? Is that a reflection of the personnel themselves or that’s it’s just two?

With Brum playing a 5212, it could be a direct match up.  How do you rate James, Bakinson, Weimann versus Gardner, Sunjic and McGree?

If you are going to play a midfield two, they both need to be athletic capable of getting up and down the pitch, just like Massengo (who I presume must not be 100% fit). Bakinson can be good on the ball, but off the ball he saunters around, James has not got the pace to get up and down and is much more suited to being in a 3.

Not sure why everyone seems so negative , the game has not started yet. 

 

Because we've looked pretty terrible for weeks now. 

However, benefit of the doubt, maybe the uninspiring looking set-up will turn out to be a masterstroke.

Brum aren't all that, and if we get a hold on the game early on, who knows....

Will be interesting to see how much Sunjic and Gardner get up and down.  Neither are particularly expansive….normally….famous last words! ?

Yes, Massengo they are being careful with 3 games in a week.

That adds to my point really (remembering there’s 3 more less experienced players starting too)

We don’t have the luxury of depth when we pick up a few injuries.
