Another on for the injury list - Cordoba. No word as yet on the type of injury or expect length of absence. Barnes also not involved today
Not sure if they are trying to keep West Brom on their toes with the apparent look of the line up suggesting that Sorensen may be at LB with Doyle shifting to CB, Fisher moving to CM and Stacey coming in at RB. Forson at RW Also equally likely to see Sorensen and Fisher swapped round. Alternatively, 3-5-2 could be a back 3 of Duffy Doyle and Sorensen. Stacey and Fisher WBs. A very attacking midfield 3 of Slimane, Marcondes and Forson with Sainz and Crnac up top. Or 3-4-3 with Marcondes joining Crnac and Sainz. An extremely flexible line up
Interesting for Forson to have been selected ahead of Schwartau. Hopefully that can give him some confidence
From that lineup it looks to me like a 4-2-3-1 with Marcondes up front again or a 4-3-3 with Slimane alongside Sørensen and Forson: Gunn Stacey Duffy Doyle Fisher Sørensen Forson Crnac Slimane Sainz Marcondes Gunn Stacey Duffy Doyle Fisher Slimane Sørensen Forson Crnac Marcondes Sainz
Oh dear. Collapsing. Shocking defending. We are so easy to play against, we give other teams a training game
Two points outside the relegation zone. We cannot defend, we are toothless in attack. Midfield has no bite and we just let teams play the moves they like. We have lost 13 points from winning positions, so we can barely play a game out. And we struggle to recover when we go behind. I cannot really think of anything we do well. Our pass completion percentage is OK? Think we are in serious danger of relegation right now.
Please remember this is a transition season, don’t lose the faith! Agreed we are in a tough period but we all know the reasons
