I think he might start if Baldock's out.

Subs bench I'd have thought.

yes I thought this was already the case? Just going by the subtle hints in some of Naylor's musings had me thinking he would start as they want to protect Baldock.
Murray and Hemed to start and Akpom on the bench.

Hemed & Murray I'd imagine away from home. New lad has only been here for 5 mins so i think he'll be on the bench tonight.

No, I think he will go Murray and Hemed.. Chuba will come on later as things get stretched..

As Chuba Akpom has been drafted in on loan as 'back up' to the forward line, he should be used.
Even if all forwards are fully fit, he'll be an unknown to the opposition and an alternative.
No point in wasting talent and loan funds, just to warm the bench!

There is if we need Hamed & Murray to hold the ball up, while we are under early expected pressure by Huddersfield. Let Huddersfield burn themselves out, and then bring him on and hopefully his speed will tear them to bits.

I'd like to see him start, as Baldock is unlikely to play. We'll probably play on the counter attack a bit and need someone to do the running up top, dragging defenders out of position.

Have you seen this morning's Argus? Andy Naylor evidently seems to think that he will, as the Albion are treading carefully with Sam Baldock's recovery.
I agree that it seems chancy to include Akpom in such an important game though, When did he last actually play?

Agree. Start with Chuba and GM up front with Hemed on the bench. Less pressure on the lad, shows we have faith in him as a first team player and Hemed is waiting in the wings as solid option. Would not want to see him on the bench first time out in an Albion shirt.

He may well be unknown to the opposition, the problem is though, that he is unknown to our players too! What has he had, just one day's training with his new team mates?
