Formation/Line Up

We need to go into the West Brom match with a positive attitude and look for the win.

That means dropping Orr, (or putting Lowe back at RB) and look to bring in Dunn or Formica. Simple.
Also if the players look knackered after 60 minutes…………………….SUBSITIUTE THEM!!!

Would have to consider recalling Givet into the starting line up, why has he not been featuring of late? His heart trouble?

Thought Orr has been alright when he's played but Givet at right back might perhaps?

^ Lowe at rb would be fine as well, but i prefer him in midfield.

===================

Exactly. He does a good job at right back but Kean needs to stop using him as a utility player. He has the potential to be a top midfielder and so he needs to be played there more often. Bradley Orr has been solid enough at right back for us so I don't see why he shouldn't continue playing there.

---------------------Robbo--------------------

Orr--------Hanley------Dann------Olsson

Formica---N'Zonzi---Lowe/Pedersen---Olsson

------------------------Hoilett----------------------------

------------------------Yak------------------------------

Personally I'm happy with that team at the moment but it does rely quite heavily on N'Zonzi having a good game. If he does then he tends to drag the midfield closer to the front men which stops Hoilett and Yakubu being isolated.

Yea, pretty much, pity we can't do like the yanks and have a sub come on for taking throw ins and free kicks and we'd have a role for Peds, his frees have been pretty kak lately though too

Looking at that team, it really is quite amazing how much the squad has changed in the 14/15 months that Kean has been in charge. Only 5 of those players were at the club before Kean took over and only 2 were actually first team players. Incredible.

Erm why is everyone dropping Pedersen for he's created more goals than everyone else and your dropping him ,while Formica has done nothing and is playing he works hard creates nothing i don't get it Formica is very overrated

Pedersen is still making goals. N'Zonzi scored from one of his throws at Bolton.

Pedersen is still a very effective player and has looked fairly good in the centre of the park (I still think Lowe is a better option, though).
The only problem is, he does get caught on the ball sometimes and he is still the scapegoat for a lot of people so he is always called up on his mistakes.

Everybody is picking their best team for West Brom. Do you propose to pick the same team against Liverpool on Tuesday?

Surely there should be some fresh legs in at least one of the games, or are you putting everything into the away game? If Liverpool don't play their full first team, then we will be facing fresh players out to make an impression.

"Pedersen is still making goals. N'Zonzi scored from one of his throws at Bolton."

Hanley had a header tipped over from an MGP corner and MGP played the ball of the game when releasing MO into the inside left position, which the Yak could have scored from.

Who else could have hit the shot that went in against Man U, but was correctly disallowed for a goal-kick?

We scored at Wolves and Bolton with MGP's involvement.

We remain top of the stats in terms of goals scored from set-plays.

I agree Lowe and N'zonzi should be playing together in the centre but i don't see why everyone wants Formica ahead of Pedersen ,if Pedersen is out who will take corners ,free kicks and throwins thats 70% of Rovers chances of getting a goal gone against a team that we need to beat

I'm not sure if Pedersen would be that effective on the right wing, really.

+++++++++++++
The same can by said about Formica

Pedersen is playing on the right wing already.

Agree with SKA that MGP out wide right is not ideal, but would still find a place in the team for him as one of our more naturally talented players.
