Strange WBA side, they've left out their only striker
Let’s not play our best two centre backsFair play saddlebrains. Not 100% but pretty much the gist.
Can’t believe the chopping and changing of the back three though

WBA aren't playing with a striker, it's going to be a very crowded midfieldMore optimistic having seen the line up. Was expecting a 60+% possession, a dozen corners and a 2-0 loss. But with the box I expect we'll be back to more counterattacking. Allen and Tatsu could be a very good pair of ACM's, then potentially O'Hare to come off the bench too. Fadz and Kitching hopefully offer more from set-pieces - now watch us hardly get any!
Big opportunity for Wright. At the very least he has to run the channels tirelessly and hope he can use his pace against them. If he shows what he has the last few games the ball is going to be coming back at us all night.

One of our best players last season.Why does fadz keep playing
he’s past it
To suggest he's past it is a bit dramaticOne of our best players last season.
I guess they know to bring him on in the second half where we typically capitulate.Strange WBA side, they've left out their only striker
I don't disagree except that I don't think the football has been terrible on the whole. It feels worse than it is with back to back defeats but we have definitely struggled to put together a decent 90mins all season. We've seen flashes of what could be but it's been very disjointed.It depends if people can see signs of it working.
As fans, we see 2 best players sold, season ticket price increases, loads of money spent on players and absolutely terrible football making it a chore to go up when shit loads of our home games are moved to be on sky

Agreed. Thought Kitching looked excellent against Norwich. Binks has been decent, but Kitching is our big money defensive signing. Time for him to play now. Nasty bastard from all accounts too. Exactly what we need IMO. Surprised Thomas gets the nod over Lati, but we’ll see. Strongest bench we’ve had in 20 years? Lati, Bidwell, Binks, O’Hare, Simms and Godden.Pleased to see Kitching starting, the return of the box formation and Haji Wright getting a start.
PUSB
Would like to have seen Lati in and would've gone Simms over Wright,
They were poor. You could see the players lining up for a delivery into one area of the box, presumably things they have been working on, but Eccles delivered the ball in to the wrong areas. Hence no one attacked them. Happened in virtually every corner. Players surround the keeper, he fired it deep far post; players waiting back post, he fired it front post.Eccles put some corners into decent areas last Wednesday but nobody attacked them. They had a bloke who headed 3 away unchallenged centrally on the edge of the 6 yard box.
How do you work that one out?A bit of a 7 : 2 : 1 formation.
Doubt we’ll score with that lineup but who knows, it’s all a bit of a rolling selection shambles.
Close enough. Well doneAs above mate
Kitching is starting
As is Bidwell
Box formation with Tats and Hopefully Allen
Wright up top
Because we are playing 7 defensive minded players cockjock.How do you work that one out?
He said we play box with wright upfrontThe Bristol game you were almost completely wrong
Allen can take themProbably not but I don’t know who else can take them other than Dasilva, surely anything has to be better than Eccles taking corners? Sheaf has a decent shot on him, I assume he can take corners? I realise it doesn’t always work like that but we really need to find an Eccles replacement for corners.
