Unless Moses is injured, we should persist with him.
Antonio should come into a side needing points.

No - it's about right. Play our best striker up front? Absolutely yes. None of this Allardyce era nonsense of playing Sahko on the wing. And leave the immobile donkey on the bench for his usual cameo later on in the game.

Jenkinson is a weak link and a liability - Ogbonna is clearly a better defender than Tomkins so that works for me.

Maybe Moses for Antonio as I can't see the latter ever getting on the pitch for us again, he must have told Slaven to do one.

Noble is out so Song in and to be honest we have better midfielders in our squad now so he should be on the bench anyway. Maybe put Obiang in for Kouyate if we want a more defensively solid side, and after our recent "performances" it should be a consideration. I'd consider giving Lanzini a free role in midfield but maybe he can interchange with Zarate. Lanzini is better defensively so probably best to keep him out wide to start

I would be cautious of making too many changes. We haven't turned bad overnight, but there is definitely an availability for players to be introduced/re-introduced. Noble is out through suspension, and Sakho and Carroll didn't work well enough together to justify retaining both in the starting line-up. Im also very robust in my belief that Jenkinson's time has come. He has not even been close to replicating his best for last year, and he is struggling big-time. It is also up to Bilic to nominate somebody to take on the role that Payet/Valencia would play in order to play that gap. Its either Lanzini or Zarate or Song playing in a more advanced role.

Please avoid the knee jerking. Terrible performance today but wide spread changes against a WBA team who have just beaten the Gooners???

Tomkins has made worser errors than Jenkinson recently IMO, so I would drop him instead. He needs a kick up the backside. But if Jenkinson doesn't cut out his sloppiness I would then look to drop him for Tomkins at rightback. I would also drop Moses. Apart from the Newcastle game & the first half against Everton he has been anonymous quite frankly. Apart from run what does he actually do? He hardly ever crosses the ball. And when he does it's more poor than good. Same for his shooting. Very disappointing so far. I'd take a punt and give Antonio a chance. Otherwise what's the point spending £7m (allegedly) on him!?

My team:

---------------------------------------------Adrian-------------------------------------------

----Jenkinson-----------------Reid(c)-----------Ogbonna------------Cresswell----

-------------------------------------Song-----------Kouyate-------------------------------

---------------------------------------------Zarate--------------------------------------------

----Antonio-------------------------------Sakho------------------------------Lanzini----


Subs: Randolph, Tomkins, O'Brien, Obiang, Moses, Carroll, Jelavic.

------------------------Adrian---------------------------

Jenks---------Reid------Ogbonna------Cresswell

------------------Song-------Noble--------------------
------------------------Kouyate-------------------------

--------Lanzini-------Sakho------------Moses------

Consider how West Brom will play. They'll sit back let us have the ball and try to nick one on the break.

Our team should look to dominate possession and boss the midfield. Hence a midfield two of Song/Noble to dominate possession and the third midfielder Kouyate given a licence to roam box to box.

It is tempting to drop Jenkinson and put Tomkins at RB. I believe this would be a mistake as Tomkins rarely gets past the halfway line when playing FB. West Brom won't be leaving players upfield. We need a FB who can push on and for better or worse Jenks is out only real option at the moment.

Ahh yes I forgot that. That's a pity, this is his sort of game. Is there any update on Obiang?

If he is available a straight swap for Noble. Otherwise, given the personal and that I still feel Oxford isn't ready for a game where we have to dominate possession, it would make more sense to stick with 4-2-3-1

Jenko needs a rest, Tomkins has performed better at right back this season

Sakho is wasted on the wing, if we are only playing 1 striker then it needs to be him

Noble being suspended makes the Song change easy

I'd like to see Antonio at least given a chance from the bench, very strange as we lack power and pace

I'd go with that except have Moses instead of Antonio.
