No Baldock - is he injured.
So is Pritchard
Albion (4-4-1-1): Ryan; Bruno, Dunk, Duffy, Suttner; March, Stephens, Kayal, Murphy; Gross; Murray. #bhafc
And there's our challenge (I know we'll sign more players).
Need a speedier RB
Murphy wasn't a first pick in the Championship

The fact that this is highly likely to be the side we start against City with and probably most of the early season games is a frightening thought. We're going to get destroyed.
Norwich side looks unfamiliar.

He's probably saving himself for Brum.
I fear you're probably right. Unless we seriously strengthen the squad over the next 2-3 weeks we are going to regret it. That squad would struggle to make the top 6 in the championship let alone stay in the Premier League. We are just not strong enough.

That squad is better than the one that got over 180 points in 2 seasons. It would not struggle to be top 6 in the championship.

There's a slight flaw in this statement....

Who knows if your comment re the Premier League is right, we will see. But not top 6 in the championship? Did I imagine we finished 2nd last year and that has been added to?

What without knocky? You buffoon
Knocky would be in for Murphy if fit, and hopefully the possible incoming Czech lad is the speedy RB. We're not too far away. Striker still needed of course.

What was the result last year at Carrow Rd in the league?
It's been 3 months since we achieved promotion and it's been obvious since then that we need a top quality striker. How much longer do we need? We can't say we don't have the money now.

Stocko won.
Take your point about AK, but then Murphy would be a fall back position. Still too thin for me. I agree we're not far off, but that line up also clearly shows that we have some way to go. I'm not one of the panic squad - just pointing out that our weaknesses look pretty clear now.
Personally very optimistic about the coming season.

Sober team beat hungover team, but still needed hungover goalkeeper to score both of their goals as they couldn't manage a shot on target.
You say this as if the Albion have simply sat back and ignored the need for a striker. I would imagine they have been trying very hard to get someone in, wouldn't you? Again and again it has been explained why player availability can change late in the window - so we're in the same place as many.
