    Put Berardi on for last 10 just to go through Nketiah accidentally so he can't go on loan elsewhere.

    Gotts, Stevens and Bamford on the bench...

    Seems balanced enough to me WJ.

    Brentford 3-0 up.

    8 points behind but a goal difference of +20 shows they are a big danger.

    Pretty sure Bielsa knows what he’s doing

    If we need a game changer, theres only Bamford really. We do need a couple of bodies this month to help out.

    Untried 'keeper
    LB who can't get a game
    RB who can't get a game
    Untried u23 RB
    Untried u23 CB
    Untried u23 MF
    CF who must surely be injured or he'd be straight back into the team

    Which part should make me feel confident against our closest challengers?

    Of course...was just pointing out to WJ it's not as heavy on defenders as he thought.

    Usually does, but is he convinced that playing Nketiah & Hilda at the same time can't possibly be as bad as the last match? I'm not convinced. Are you?

    Birmingham fans are getting their money's worth this Christmas. That's 14 goals in the last 2 home games.

    Cardiff upped it as usual in the last 30 minutes. Only conceded one more.

    Thought Gotts was a midfielder ?

    Know he's played multiple positions for the U23's but can't see him playing full back for the 1st team, especially as we have plenty of cover with Beradi, Dallas etc.

    I’m never convinced :biggrin:

    Roberts is injured again I suppose?

    Gotts can play MF (and very well too), but usually a RB. No idea what Bielsa sees his primary spot as.

    Watched an interview where he said Gotts was best in the Klich position.

    Obviously he may have revised that opinion but I'd like to see him given a go in that role.

    Bench filler due to injuries? Has he ever got on for the 1st team?

    He’ll be ready for Arsenal but ffs I thought Roberts was back.

    Remember that Gotts was the lad I compared to Billy (in patches). I'm a fan, but not convinced he's ready. Pretty certain he'll play in the cup to blood him. Never been a fan of Stevens as he's so inconsistent for the u23s, far less the first team. Desperately hope I'm wrong about him.

    He can't string more than two consecutive games together. The new Daniel Sturridge. Let's hope the West From boys were on the piss last night like Cardiff obviously were <ok>

    Don't believe so. Been on the bench a lot. Breakthrough at Arse, I hope.
