Do you think Chris will make a couple of changes to freshen the boys up a bit after a gruelling few games? Obviously Johnson is out so howson is likely to start Does the defence need Ryan Bennett and or barney playing given some of the defensive slips recently (basong should stay) Should Elliot Bennett get a start (for pilks) Chris seems to like a settled team, but for my ten pence worth I think it could bring some extra energy if a couple of changes are made. I remember Lambert did the same in the corresponding fixture last season vs qpr
The reason we have lost the last three games is because West Brom have done so well this season. And we've also played Chelsea and Man City so I don't really think that calls for changes.
I wasnt suggesting changes should be made because of losing against those teams who are in the top six, more to use the squad given its the fourth match in 10 days
I think the changes will be the ones he has to make: Howson for Johnson and possibly a start for Kane, if Holt is still not fit. I don't see Hughton changing the Central Defence unless he has to; both Turner and Bassong have done too well to risk this. And there doesn't seem to be a good reason to take off either of the wingers or full backs, (unless Whittaker is fit, and even that would be Hard on Martin). Having said that none of the players you suggest, (apart perhaps from Barnett), would concern me if Hughton selected them. They will undoubtedly get a game at Peterborough in any case. But Hughton knows how well they are all bearing up. One of the benefits of having played in the lower leagues, as most of them have done, is that you get used to playing Sat, Tues, Sat, Tues!
Fair enough! sorry. Actually agree with that! I wouldn't complain with. Bunn R Martin-Barnett-R Bennett-Tierney E Bennett-Howson-Fox-Surman Jackson-Kane But obviously that's quite extreme!
Hmm fair points both. The gaffer looks best We may get to see more of Kane depending on holts fitness It's a game where any result is quite possible
