Can't play Obiang, Noble and Kouyate in the centre of the park.

Way, way too defensive. This is West Brom, not Chelsea!

Need to be at them at the start.

I did think about that, but West Brom play with people like Jacob, Fletcher, Morrison, who flood the middle, therefore I reckon we'd be better pushing the flanks and putting crosses in, Antonio naturally right footed, Snodgrass is left footed.

We're a better team than these and I have a feeling we're going to turn it on and win comfortably. Another 3 goals as we are banging them in for fun recently.

3-1 West Ham :scarfer:

As much as I rate noble, I would like to see Kouyate and Obiang in the middle for this one. We should have enough leadership in the team in Fonte, Reid and Snodgrass.

Whenever I realise that we're facing a team managed by Pulis, I always look alarmed and shout "PUUUUULLLLIISSSSS!!!" like Fred Flintstone screaming "WILMAAA!"

And when we invariably lose, often with some subtle Pulis-imbued thuggery and gamesmanship thrown in, I end up waving my fist, Inspector Gadget style, shouting "We'll get you next time Pulis"

Anyone else? No?

Normally the most boring home game of the season. Need an early goal or two preferably.

Loathe him....or loathe him some more, Pulis always seems to know how to get into our teams. We dominated almost every aspect of the away game, yet they scored 4 Goals from less than 30% possession and 6 chances...clinical.

Different set of circumstances for this one and another tough game. He will set up to stifle us in midfield, gonna have to battle to ŵin supremacy and stretch it, keep possession, run the legs off them and convert the possession into scoring opportunities.

Randolph

Byram. Fonte. Reid. Cresswell

Obiang. Kouyate.

Bob. Antonio
Lanzini.

Carroll

Lanzini to play Carrolls runner for me, their lumps at the back could struggle more against his size and quick feet running onto the knock downs and with Bob and Antonio the wide runners, I feel he will make the better decisions with his running. At least in theory.

For this one, Noble a 2nd half sub as half pace colossus, Feghouli a full pace sub to run their legs when they don't want it.

We will win this with a Palace like atmosphere...3-1 :crest:

Love this except prefer an out of position Fernandes at RB than Byram.

Byram looks like a good squad player with a bright future but we should have a better option at RB.

Would feel more confident with Nordveit standing up to any bullying from the wing. Even Kouyate and Antonio are safer options.

We keep it tight at the back and we know we can score at least 1 goal

And I am happy with Obiang and Noble in the middle, they can both spot a pass

Having only seen us score 2 league goals (both against Watford) at the STB end think I would be happy with a first half goal
