Team for Sat 05:41 - Feb 6 with 5653 views | hype313 | Hdlaky Clarke Wolfie Burgess Davis Travis Morsy Sarmiento Chaplin Hutch Moore Think Burgess give Davis more licence going forward and greater Ariel threat at set pieces both ends. Travis is the gnarly, gritty, tough Midfielder we'll need against this physical West Brom side and Mass hasn't been at his best recently for me. With the trickery of the three behind Moore we have a penknife that can open multiple doors for Moore and Wes has been off it recently. No doubt I'll be way off it and completely wrong come Saturday. |  |

Me too, Sarmiento looks better off the bench for me. I wouldn’t be making too many other changes from the norm against a strong team like WBA. |  | |  |

Team for Sat on 10:34 - Feb 6 with 3540 views | portmanking | I have to agree on Luongo. I think he's been well below par since Leeds away TBH. Looked well off the pace at times against Preston. I know he's generally a stockier player, but he's just looked jaded to me. |  | |  |

Can't understand why we'd want to sacrifice an attacking player to bring in Tuanzebe, especially after his recent performances. We perform best at home on the front foot. |  |

Team for Sat on 10:54 - Feb 6 with 3444 views | pointofblue | Playing Hutchinson and Sarmiento from the off dilutes our pace options from the bench. I haven't been impressed with either as starters, albeit Sarmiento hasn't been given much of a chance so perhaps deserves another go due to Broadhead's struggles of late. Broadhead has provided more of a spark from the bench himself. Can understand the call for Travis but he looked way off the pace at Leicester. I wasn't quite so enamoured with his performance against Sunderland as most appear to be. I suspect Luongo will be rested against at least one of West Brom, Millwall and Swansea - the question is which one? Perhaps West Brom does make most sense. I'd definitely bring Burgess back in. Not that Edmundson has done badly but having a left footer on the left side is a plus.

Especially as we now have Moore who is great at bringing others into play and creating space for them. We didn't spend January bolstering our attacking options to set up more defensively. |  |

Because we have the worst defensive record in the top 5 and need to stop conceding goals. We won’t sacrifice an attacking player as Clarke can attack and defend. We’ve won one game in 8. We need a reset and we need to be better at defending. |  |

Team for Sat on 11:06 - Feb 6 with 3351 views | ElderGrizzly | The last game Travis started he looked like he was running through treacle. Lack of fitness or is he just slow? I think West Brom will be too much running for him and i'd go with Mass due to the understanding with Morsy. Agree, Burgess needs to come straight back in. |  | |  |

Chucking another defender in isn't necessarily the answer though, especially one whose recent form hasn't been the best. Saturday was a mare but two of the goals were a combination of rank bad luck and poor officiating. Prior to that we'd only conceded three goals in five league games, two of which were against Leicester. How we've been playing has seen us well in the race for automatic promotion, having a reset, in this case changing formation and bringing in a CB for a wide forward, rather than improving on some of the small margins doesn't seem to me to be an appropriate or proportionate way forward. |  |

He's looked a whole lot better off the bench in last coupla months. He's not the most physical so perhaps his trickery getting past players is more suited against tiring oppo. Certainly a v good sub option. Some posters have dropped Chappers, which is simply ridiculous. |  |

The Davis-Moore-Chaplin ensemble is going to be very fruitful for us. Don't go changin'. |  |

Team for Sat on 11:28 - Feb 6 with 3183 views | Mookamoo | Hdlaky Clarke Wolfenden Burgess Davis Luongo Morsy Burns Chaplin Hutchinson Moore I feel you have to start with either Burns or Broadhead. Not keen on starting both Sarmiento and Hutchison. The help Luongo offers when Davis is further forward is too important to ignore. Travis will take a little more time to get to grips with exactly how that role is supposed to work. The only way we get top 2 is with Davis and Moore clicking and Chaplin picking up the scraps. |  | |  |

Team for Sat on 11:37 - Feb 6 with 3115 views | Dubtractor | Hladky Clarke Woolf Edmundson/Burgess Davis Morsy Travis Burns Chaplin Sarmiento Moore We really struggled to compete physically with West Brom in the away game. Moore will be absolutely key in addressing that, and allowing us to have another way of beating their press. I think Travis will help in the midfield battle too. I think Burns over Hutch, partly for the physicality, but a big part of our dominance in home games is the pace and directness of Burns. Hutch for me is still better off the bench. |  |

Think if we're bringing Hutch in, it's for Chaplin at the minute. Burns gives us width and that creates space, think he has to start. Hutch has looked good as a ten but I'd still be more inclined to bring him off the bench than start him. |  |

He was woeful on Saturday. Like Chaplin, he hasn’t been great since the Norwich game. |  |
