Luckily for the players the next game is coming around quickly and they have the chance to put right a fairly atrocious 3-0 beating from Watford with a visit to WBA away on Tuesday.

We have Hayden back from suspension but I think Lascelles, Atsu and Dummett will probably remain unavailable.

Would probably look to change things up personally. Go back to the 4-2-3-1 system in which the players looked well organised and tough to beat. Joselu will surely be dropped and I've had enough of Manquillo, so I'd go for a team something like this:

Elliott
Yedlin - Lejeune - Clark - Mbemba
Hayden - Shelvey
Ritchie - Merino - Murphy
Mitrovic

No doubt Rafa will pick something completely different.

Prediction: 1-1 draw.

West Brom are **** but so are we. I remember being in the Leazes as a young kid in 1977 and we got beat 3-0 off Regis, Cunningham, Batson and co. I'm going for that scoreline to them again.
 
Conceded 7 goals in the last 2 games so it may be time to focus on not conceding and going from there. I can see this match being as unexciting as they come to be honest.
 
Need a draw here. 4231 returns.

Elliot

Mbemba Lascelles Clark Dummett

Shelvey Hayden

Murphy Merino Ritchie

Perez

Get Diame and Joselu right out of it.
 
My forecast:

Carver becomes the new surprise West Brom manager, and not Pardew, and compounds the Curse by having a rare win under his belt by a scrappy goal in the ninety-third minute courtesy of a mis-kick from a West Brom forward.
 
I am getting sick of posting that this is a really important game to get us back on the right track and I think we will win 3-1 so I am not going to.
