Irrespective of teams chasing us it is as has been for a couple of months about us winning so play the best available team for each game no need for rest except for injuiries. The chance of glory will or should give each player the extra 10 % to help overcome tiredness.

I trust in Chris - even if he thinks it right to pick someone who I think didn't do too well on Saturday!

Sounds like Bruno is fit and Baldock isn't (unless Hughton is LYING again) so:

Stockdale

Bruno-Hunemeier-Dunk-Rosenior

Knockaert-Stephens-Kayal-March

Hemed-Murray​

Subs: Maenpaa. Pocognoli, Tomori, Sidwell, Murphy, Skalak, Towell

If I was in charge I'd sling Murphy in for Skalak and Hemed in for Murray who must be knackered. I'd also sling March in as a No10, enganching the shit out of them.

Rosenior at LB if Bruno is fit.

Except for Murphy playing the Baldock role with March outside, I agree.
Suspect Murray will want to start and he is more suited to bullying their three centre backs.

Never Drop Murray escpecially at home unless he is actaully unfit injury wise

Someone else put this 11+7 out earlier if IIRC, but still THIS

I have a feeling Murphy will start for Skalak rather than March, not sayin' thats what I'd do but I have a feeling it will happen. Also Hemed in for Akpom. I simply can not see him resting Murry at home.

CH doesn't mind having Hemed and Muzza up top when he has two out and out wingers getting crosses in. Surely Hemed has earned his spot ahead of Akbom and when that happens CH prefers Solly on the left.

I can only presume that those selecting Akpom didn't witness his shameful performance on Saturday. He is not fit to wear the shirt and I hope he never does again.

I cannot believe that people are putting Rosenior back at left back to replace Pocognoli who I believe was the better of the 2 full backs against Blackburn

Rosenior had his worse performance in an Albion shirt on Saturday, I think he'd probably admit himself he had a stinker of a game, but more than adequately shielded by Uwe. I think I'd agree, that I prefer the natural left foot of Pocognoli to Rosenior playing left back. If Bruno is back, wouldn't be surprised to see Rosenior on the bench.

If Bruno plays I'd expect Knockeart to haver a much more influential game.

Yes, but then again, you couldn't believe that Bong wouldn't be picked for the Blackburn game. Hint: he didn't even make the 18. I know left back is your specialist subject, but there are other factors taken into consideration when the team is selected.
