West Brom V Whites 17/4/06 [R]

[Prenn]

I'd like to see us start with the same team that started against Chelsea. the front three of Borgetti- Vaz Te - Davies is something that should have been done a lot earlier in the season. Okay, so it was with Diouf instead of Vaz Te but still ;)

We won't however.

I bet Pedersen starts and we whimper to another defeat. Don't you just love my optimism?

My proposed team for Monday:

-----------------Jussi---------------
O'Brien---NGotty------Jaidi---Gardner
-----Okocha-----Faye-----Speed----
--Davies-------Borgetti-----Vaz Te--

That'll stuff em!

[Nixon]

Is O'Brien alright? i thought there must be a reason hes been left out of the squad so much but if hes good he should be back, either that or give hunt a run out (i know he can be a tit but he needs the games).

I thought id mix it up a bit :):

-----------------Jussi-------------------
O'Brien---NGotty----Fojut-----Gardner
-----------------Faye-------------------
---Stelios---------------------Nolan----
----------------Davies------------------
--------Diouf------------Vaz Te--------

Five men up from who can play anywhere :), and Fojut because i dont trust Jaidi.

[Prenn]

Jaidi's quoted in the press today saying that he wants out so you're right, we should try fojut.

O'Brien's probably injured, Hunt will do then.

He's absolutely cacked ;)

--------Jaaskelainen
Hunt---Faye--N'Gotty---Gardner
---------Campo
-----Nolan----Speed
--Davies---Borgetti---Vaz Te


Subs
Al Habsi
Okocha (on for Speed 70th min)
Stelios (on for Vaz Te 60th min)
Diouf (on for Borgetti 70th min)
Nakata


Keeping faith with Faye as a centre back, did a good job against Chelsea, I reckon

Do that, and we'll be cruising

[Nixon]

Who, me or obrien :)

I like Faye as a DM hes good at moping up and just knocking a few players for six, you dont really want him doing that in the box.

I think we do need to focus on attack though Stelios nolan and Vaz Te being key to that.

[Prenn]

I think we really need to go for an all out attack tomorrow, it'll really stun West Brom. However Sam said after the Chelsea game that he wants to get back to clean sheets, presumably he'd be happy with 0-0. In a sense he may be right given that our six game losing streak came to an end last season with a 1-1 home draw against West Brom, Davies got a late goal.

We need to win this if we are to salvage a UEFA cup place.

O'Brien ;)


--------Jaaskelainen
Hunt---Faye--N'Gotty---Gardner
---------Campo
-----Nolan----Okocha
--Diouf---Borgetti---Vaz Te

Is my favoured line up now...Give Davies a much needed break, cos he's cacked as well. Need a bit of skill there, so I've swapped Speed for Okocha. Same substitutes/substitutions as before.

With that formation, we will rip Albion apart (they're the only team in the Premiership with a worse record than us, right?) Vaz Te and Diouf will give us the pace, Borgetti will put his oversized head to use.

3-0 up at half time :D

[sizal9]

do you think diouf is ready for a start.

[mphoenix]

Yeah, has to be...he's been fit for 3 weeks :(

[Prenn]

Yeah, has to be...he's been fit for 3 months :(

Fixed you post.

[Nixon]

I know Davies has put in some good performances down the right but come on the guy finally gets a couple of goals you godda keep him in that central roll.

Diouf has been out of the line up to long unfortunatly we havent had the opertunities to bring players like Diouf and Hunt back into the picture, need to get some results and consistence going first by favouring the form players.

And how can you both leave the little greek out of the picture :( very dissapointed

oh and mphoenix 3-0 half time? you been playin to much pro evo?

I'd prefer to play Borgetti in the middle and have Davies on the right, his crossing is second to none and he's a really tricky player on the wing. The big problem this leaves us with is who to chose from out of Vaz Te, Stelios and the possibly fit Diouf.

[sizal9]

Damn cheeky bugger, although that squad rocks.

We loose were mid table and weve lost any pull for better players, we win we might be able to scrape somit, if hes playing for a draw hes mad, its not an option.
