The venue for Albion’s U23s is as attractive as you would expect as they play in the shadows of the elevated M5 and electricity pylons
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I thought I recognised it, its the Birmingham County FA ground in Great Barr, my brother was in the county FA u18s team quite a few years back, played their home games there.
Leander Dendoncker has signed an extended contract to 2023 with the option of another year
Methinks we should revert back to a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 for this one.
Despite being one of the lowest scoring teams in Serie A, Fiorentina want shot of Cutrone who hasn’t scored at all for them and it looks like his season long loan will be cut short in January and he will return to Wolves. We will then get what we can for him from any other Italian team who may be interested
Difficult decision for Nuno tonight. Stick with Silva and play 4231 or revert to 3 at the back.
As we aren’t scoring enough then sticking with a 4 man attack may be the best way to solve that. But then it could be argued that abandoning 3 at the back has made us more open defensively and hasn’t lead to us scoring more.
Either way you’d have to say that on current form a home win would be a surprise tonight
I'd stick with Silva regardless of what formation we play.
I agree with Tam. Now he's decided to Silva a chance he should stick with him. And to be fair, the lad did OK against Villa.
I do think Nuno's priority for this game will be a clean sheet though.
I think we need a focal point in attack for the other guys to play off. Silva is the only one who provides that. I actually think his link up play has been really good in the games against Arsenal and Villa.
You look at Cutrone's early days at Milan and you think there's a player there for definite that could develop in to something special. Even last season between us and Fiorentina, his goal return for minutes played wasn't bad, there's clearly something about him though that coaches dont like. He needs games and if he cant get them at a struggling Serie A club you wonder where he will.
My guess (although Nuno never listens to me)
Patricio
Boly Coady Kilman
Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves,Ait-Nouri
Podence, Silva, Neto
As for tonight, I think it will be a great experience for Silva to start against Chelsea, dont reckon much to his chances of opening his goal account but we'll need some kind of target up against the likes of Zouma and Thiago Silva. They have pace and power out wide, Ive been quite impressed with Reece James in recent games he looks a decent player for his age. With him and Chilwell there's certainly a case for going with a back five again. Another keeper in good form too, Mendy has settled them down defensively. Under the circumstances this might be a bit of a free hit, but if we're to get anything out of the game we'll need to sharpen up around their box.
Grealish due in court today to be sentenced for careless driving following his crash during the first lockdown in March. By escaping from the scene he did avoid an additional charge of drink driving. He also faces a charge for driving dangerously on the m40 at 90 mph
Surprised they aren’t also charging him for careless diving

Daft was clocked doing 98 on the M42 after tailgating people near Bodymoor Heath in October whilst this court hearing was pending. And this whilst he already had 6 points on his licence from previous speeding offences. Should have slung him Winson Green for a couple of months.
It's week old news now but must admit it didnt register with me that both San Marino and Andorra are in England's qualifying group. Four utterly pointless fixtures for England but as they'll have to play each other, one will probably have their most successful campaign yet.
Chelsea gave Danny Drinkwater a run out with their U23s today. He was sent off for kicking out at a 16 year old. That was £35m well spent by Chelsea then
