    I probably agree like, with the way things are. But this is our best chance of a win we'll have without our 4 best players

    Joelinton wins tackles and unfortunately we need him as proven when we played gayle in this system it just didnt work.

    He's actually not been bad the last 3 or 4 but people are after him for his poor offensive and I get that, but it's about the system as a whole for me.

    I wouldn't play Gayle like. I'd probably play Carroll even though he runs like he's got his boots on the wrong foot

    Carroll with Fraser and Ritchie wide

    Not the way I like to play... The old get it down the wing and cross it in ****e is not the way fwd.. I feel we need someone to hold it up though and a threat on set pieces.

    It's the only way he's useful. Bruce tried Almiron and Hendricks on the wing with him in the middle it's useless. I know it's 90s bullshit but we're down to the bones it's the best option

    It doesn't work and West brom would love that imo.

    We need to stick to the same system and play the high press... Keep it on the floor and play

    We can't play, our footballers are injured. It'll be Hayden/Hendrick passing it back to Lascelles to launch or Shelvey launch. There won't be any football played

    It’s going to be a horrible game for many reasons. But I feel we may get something. A scrappy win by 1 goal. I reckon the lads will be up for this one.

    I just don't see where the goal will come from... West brom are actually a very solid side in terms of defending and I fear we will see a Sheff United away team sheet

    The system we've had since Jones came in works so all we should do is put willock in almirons role, move hendrick or a Longstaff into willocks and use Fraser Murphy or Anderson to replace max.

    I don't like this idea we need to ditch the new system because of two or 3 injuries.. We'll still have a weaker side but its more likley to actually function.

    I can't say I'm looking forward to this game, Bruce will look at yesterday's results and say to himself "I was right it's not a must win game"! BTW 3-2 win for us Clark with the winner though he went against Bruce's advise going up for the injury time corner.

    Well at least one thing is for sure. Coward face will be on a knife edge.

    I would have liked Southampton to have lost and also Burnley. But I suppose it clears the decks. Brighton losing was important.
