Luckily for the players the next game is coming around quickly and they have the chance to put right a fairly atrocious 3-0 beating from Watford with a visit to WBA away on Tuesday. We have Hayden back from suspension but I think Lascelles, Atsu and Dummett will probably remain unavailable. Would probably look to change things up personally. Go back to the 4-2-3-1 system in which the players looked well organised and tough to beat. Joselu will surely be dropped and I've had enough of Manquillo, so I'd go for a team something like this: Elliott Yedlin - Lejeune - Clark - Mbemba Hayden - Shelvey Ritchie - Merino - Murphy Mitrovic No doubt Rafa will pick something completely different. Prediction: 1-1 draw.
West Brom are **** but so are we. I remember being in the Leazes as a young kid in 1977 and we got beat 3-0 off Regis, Cunningham, Batson and co. I'm going for that scoreline to them again.
Conceded 7 goals in the last 2 games so it may be time to focus on not conceding and going from there. I can see this match being as unexciting as they come to be honest.
I don’t mind if this game puts me into a coma, as long as we get some points from it and stop the. Rot.
Need a draw here. 4231 returns. Elliot Mbemba Lascelles Clark Dummett Shelvey Hayden Murphy Merino Ritchie Perez Get Diame and Joselu right out of it.
My forecast: Carver becomes the new surprise West Brom manager, and not Pardew, and compounds the Curse by having a rare win under his belt by a scrappy goal in the ninety-third minute courtesy of a mis-kick from a West Brom forward.
Rafa has effectively called Joselu ****e in his press conference. Mitro to start and bag the winner in a 1-0 away
I am getting sick of posting that this is a really important game to get us back on the right track and I think we will win 3-1 so I am not going to.
