Taking both kids today. Very excited to be back at the Amex and see my mates, have a Harvey's and a pie and watch some meaningful football. Can't wait.

Result wise I have no expectation at all. United were on the beach in our last match and probably gave it about 40%. This time, unfortunately, they need a result and we'll find it a lot harder. It's not a lost cause. There are plenty with things to prove after last week and with the squad strengthened will be trying to play for a place. Our home form is always good and I'm expecting a cracking atmosphere.

IMO we could have done without the flags although my two bin lids will enjoy waving them.

I guess I would be if we'd performed better against Watford. As it is, I'm worried.

Should have arrived. One of mine hasn't, so called club again this morning and they said they'd email me a ticket. If I don't get that, I'll need to go to the ticket office.

Same here. Still not got over how dreadful we were , and I’m dreading Hewoughton putting out pretty much the same line up

Garry Richardson. A bloke who looks nothing like you expect when you listen to him.

We're not expecting anything from this so I hope to God we blood the new players. Not only would it be exciting to watch an Albion team with real pace and an unknown quantity, but even if we don't get any points it will help bring the news boys up to speed. It can't be any worse than last week...........

You're expecting a 'response' to the Watford game.


That's encouraging.

I'm nervous. The Watford game has rattled me. It was so inexplicably poor that my confidence has taken a hit.

Would love to see Bissouma and Ali J play but with Montoya (presumably) taking over from Bruno is Hughton really going to start four new players and three full debutants? I reckon we might see Ali J in the starting line up but Bissouma on the bench.

A result would be very welcome before being given our four goal beating by Liverpool next week.

I hope to see Locadia start. (yes, I know, I am completely mad) I imagine United will have most of the ball, so we need to break at them with pace. Glenn for the last 20 maybe.

Hopefully they're walking down from Manchester, as that's the only way Utd will be tired enough to face GM.

We've had great perfomrnces followed by awful ones, and awful ones followed by great ones. I have no idea what to expect performance-wise, but I just have this feeling that we're going to see a red card. It feels like there were a couple of instances yesterday that should have seen red cards but didn't, and it feels like when that happens, the following match day sees refs on high alert. Might also see a yellow for diving/clear penalty turned down because of the Wet Ham one...

Agree entirely. That is a very exciting line up.
