Based largely on not bothering to compete with a team of giants but keeping the ball on the ground and using pace
Ryan
Bruno Duffy Dunk Suttner
Sidwell Stephens
Knockaert Propper Gross
Hemed
Subs:
Krul Rosenior Bong Hunemeier Murphy March Izquierdo

Can't see Schelotto not being included in at least the squad - probably at Rosenior's expense.

I disagree...
There is no doubt CH has wanted to play 4-4-1-1 but lets face it, he is only going to play that way if it works. I would argue playing Gross effectively in the number 10 role relied on us brining in a player with pace capable of playing as a loan striker. We haven't managed to do that so its got to be plan B which is in my opinion far more likely to be the tried and tested 4-4-2 that got us promoted than wing backs or 4-3-3 as others have suggested.
Hughton has made it clear that he sees Izqueirdo as a forward, capable of playing in any position across the front line so I don't think it would be that surprising to see him given a chance playing alongside Hemed or Murray in a 4-4-2.

Agree. Basically 4-4-2
Although I think it may look a little more like 4-2-3-1.
That would suit Knockaert ahead of March IMO as he is the more able to attack from a deep position

Yes, so which of our wonderful 'undroppables' from last season is going to have to be dumped for Schelotto?

Probably take Roseniors place on the bench, shame for Liam really

On past best form I'd rate Krul the better keeper of the three but he won't drop Ryan (and rightly so)
Mellor 3 Ward 4

But you've used the word pace, and got Hemed in your team.
The two don't go in the same sentence

I agree. If it were me I would start Knockaert one side and Izquierdo the other with Gross and Propper breaking into the box but I think CH will retain a traditional centre forward.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, we played well at Watford I'd go for the same starting XI but maybe change Bruno for the new signing Schelotto.
With it being a home game I can see WBA sitting a bit deeper enabling Propper to play a bit more advanced than we have seen to date.

Yes, though against both City and Leicester our starting position as a team was deep.

this is the WBA team:
------Foster-------
Nyom--Dawson--Evans---Gibbs----
-----Krychowiak---Barry------
Phillips-----Chadli------Rodriguez---
--------Rondon------------
Then that leaves Myhill, McAuley, Hegazy, Yacob, Brunt, Livermore, Morrison, McClean, Field. Burke and Robson-kanu as back up.
It needs a left footed LB i. e. Suttner or Bong to d/w the right footed Matt Phillips who will go on the outside rather than cut in.

Not seen such Bravery!
That would be amazing - but with Groß instead of Sidwell.
And how is Bruno's bad back ?

Said it before the watford game.
Sidwell needs to come in for gross and play propper more advanced as he's technically quality, gross isn't.
Also Colombian in for march who wasn't great at watford and looked tired.
