Another 1-0 victory, the best teams are built on a solid foundation at the back yes we have a good attack but we need to focus on our defence when that is sorted then we can become more free scoring. Build up the confidence with 3 points and a clean sheet against another good side in this league. Same team starting I think with Torp to score

Same starting lineup as yesterday hopefully. Predicting a 1-1 draw.

We always seem to struggle against the baggies , so I’m hoping for their game today , to cause them some trouble & make our game easier …… a 1 - 1 draw would be good

Feel about WBA like we all do about Preston...So fear the worst. The newfound defensive tightness along with WBA's well established cautious approach gives us a chance of at least a draw.

Same team. Never thought a two man central defence including such a short arse as Lati would be the answer, but so it appears.

I would guffaw my self to a heart attack if EMC scored AGAIN

They will surely be a lot better than Millwall, who were very shaky at the back.
Loads to work on for City, Thomas still gives the ball away at will , Sheaf was well off it yesterday , Simms plays a bit part and if EMC hadn’t taken that second chance he would have got pelters for his first miss.
The biggest praise from me is for the fantastic support in all that crap weather, travelling in numbers to the arse end of the Capital
I’d take another 2-2

3 of their players sent off would be good while 2 or 3 get injured

Changes for me would be 100% based on fittness. If everyone is fit and able, same team again.

Because I believe Dovin is a superior keeper to Collins.

Yes me too. I've been urging Dovin to be brought back. Collins doesn't inspire any confidence at all.

Another tough fixture but keep it tight at the back again and there's always a chance of snatching it.

We always find it tough at WBA but a point is a decent outcome and anything more a real bonus.

A return for BTA, so I wonder if there might be a cheeky punt on him.

Agreed but hard to drop a keeper who just got a clean sheet

If we win it's time to get very excited about the rest of the season

I'll be over the moon with a draw mind you

WBA would have had 1 day less of rest, but then Sheff Wed had 1 day less of rest and beat us at home. So who knows how this will play out. Still there has to be some reshuffling of the deck for this to keep things fresh. Think Lati deserves to keep his place in the first 11. Sheaf was shaky, but seems to play better with Eccles by his side. If we start with Eccles, that would mean one of Torp, Saka or Rudoni coming off the bench. Simms cannot play as a lone striker, but against WBA away I wouldn't risk playing 2 strikers. Also I bet BTA would love to score against his former team. Will be a tough match, but WBA have looked more vulnerable of late. Hope we can sneak another 1-0 win.

He was very lucky to get one. I have zero confidence in him.

I didn't see too much wrong with that disallowed goal if I'm being honest. He was very lucky.

I agree he's looked shaky this season and very lucky to get the foul given in his favour

I want dovin to start but can't see it happening next game

Can't see any change coming for Wednesday, it will be Collins.

Looking ahead I think Wilson will be back in goal when he recovers from injury and Dovin will get the shout for the FA cup, hopefully we can overcome Sheff Weds.

I can see Simms and Torp starting on the bench for this one, with Eccles and BTA or Bassette starting up top. Same shape, same instructions and hopefully the same outcome.

They are a bogey team as are Hull. However Frank might just be the catalyst to reverse our fortunes against bogey teams. 1-1.

Looking forward to this, but not the M6. I'll be more than pleased with a draw. Set us up nicely for an easy home victory on Saturday!

He’s tried Norm, he’s tried Simms, I wonder if he will give BTA go against his former club.

I highly doubt it. The shirt will be Collins' to lose with Dovin as backup.
Wilson will be let go in the summer.

Didn’t realise they still had Johnston from Celtic. Looked above this level last year, doesn’t seem to have done anything this year…yet.

Great goal against us last year.

Just looked at their squad and its quality, especially in midfield. I didn’t know they had signed Callum Styles.

Agree. 2 cost decent money so King will want a return.
And it's not as if Wilson is anything special.

Start basically the same team for me, keep it tight then give Bassette 20-30 mins to run at them.

They don’t score many.
