One match ban enabled

I thought our back line didn't look too bad on Saturday all things considered and in theory Benalouane returning tonight and Robinson moving over to LB should improve matters although Osborn did reall well. I am not sure Yacob will start tonight. Colback should return probably in place of Watson.

I wouldn't make too many changes. Cash picked up an injury on Saturday, which maybe leaves the door open for Carvalho to return,

Colback will come in for Yates even though Id rather see Yates retain his place. Appiah should get a chance in place of Cash but of course that won't happen even though we need pace for the counter which he has in abundance but MON will probably play 3 holding mids. Robinson will remain at centre half which doesnt bother me as he is solid dependable and my player of the season. benaloune will come in for Milosovic. also i have a sneaking suspicion Murphy will start

I wouldn’t start Appiah in an away match at one of the top clubs in the league. He needs blooding in a few home games first imo. Priority tonight is to get a result really.

Ben the Loon should be back in with Milosevic. Robinson will be needed back on the left. As much as I rate Osborn, up against Phillips is asking for trouble. Especially after that last fifteen minutes in the game at the CG where he ran Forest ragged.

Always a chance Wague might get his chance too. He will be on a high after his debut goal and it might be a wise move to start him?

Yates will make way for Colback. Again, they are up against an experienced Baggies side. As impressive as he was on Saturday, it might be pushing him a little to play again tonight and expect the same level of performance. Colback is a must, really.

Feel a bit for Yacob. Don’t think he has really done much wrong, although I guess that penalty against Wigan was a minus mark for him. Watson has been steady but is Watson a more robust presence in there?

Stuck at work this evening so I can will try and stop by and see how the Reds are fairing.

Can will try? 🤣

Got a feeling the Reds will give a good account of themselves against a team I reckon will finish in the top two.
1-1 with Grabban netting another on his way to 20 goals for the season.

Starting to feel human again, so fetching fish n chips to celebrate!

Do they know how to do fish and chips down that end of the country?

Had some from a chippy in Brighton last year and they looked gone out when I asked for mushy peas as opposed to the garden peas they had attempted to pass it as the required accompaniment! Explained that they were a delicacy in Notts and they were taunting me with their confusing offering!

I'll be happy with a continued improvement tonight. Any points tonight and Saturday will be a bonus - two tough games.

!!!! well not mushy peas & you have to show up early

9:30 pm and they're closing up; our tradition of falling out of the pub and hitting the chippy doesn't exist.

Team looks like it could be 4-4-3ish

Pantilimon
Janko, Milosevic, Benalouane, Robinson
Watson, Yates
Lolley, Colback, Osborn
Grabban

That's a mistake, no Yacob or Colback.

What's Colback doing up front fcs?

That's why I thought 4-3-3 Bear. Could also be 3-5-2 or 5-3-2

I would say that looks like a 3-5-2. Trying to toughen up the midfield area where WBA are quite strong.

The good old days.

Brave to play Yates, I would have thought Yacob, but what do I know.
Agree with the above anything tonight is a bonus, PNE at the weekend is much more winnable, though I remember what the sheep did to the Baggies with a positive approach, 4-1.

I’m surprised Darikwa hasn’t ousted Janko. He looked shakier then a salt pot against Brentford.
