I sense we might be in trouble or might it actually help give some players a chance?

Having been torn apart by Palace last weekend by 5 goals, NUFC probably realise this is a good chance to take West Brom to the cleaners and bank another 3 points. Will be interesting to see who gets a run out. Almost a free swing of the bat for Bruce as if we have a few isolating, a few injured he can always point to that if we lose and if we win he's got the opportunity to blood some younger players off the bench while ticking another one off the fixture list.

3 points against West Brom and we are well on the way to being safe (17 points from 11 games would be a great return at this point), with Fulham in the league and Brentford in the QF of the cup to come before Christmas.

The problem is we're not much better than West brom and we've got at least 4 first teamers out with covid
 
We were as **** as Palace is what I was getting at...all depends on who's available tbh but West Brom is a team we should be looking at taking 6 points from this season.


I doubt we will have a strong enough side and I think we'll get beat... Just guessing but 3 starters vs Palace have covid bd we don't know who else..
 
Ref for this game is Daren England

has only reffed 2 games in the premier this season
1st game Sept 30th
with the last one November 1st
looks like he gets a try out every 4-5 weeks

4th official Martin Atkinson
Var Anthony Taylor
seems to me that all the decisions will be made by others and not the ref
 
With any luck the players won’t be affected by Brucie and his training methods having been “away”. So guaranteed a big win.

So I’d go for 1-1 draw given it’s us I’m talking about.
