For me, Knockaert is a definite start. His fantastic form at home since he's signed against teams like Huddersfield, Bolton and Burnley show, not only his immense talent, but also his enjoyment in playing in front of the Albion home support.

I'm not awfully worried about the Fulham attack; of course it is something we should be wary of, and I'm sure Chris is, but think about how many strong attacking sides Goldson and Dunk have paired up against this season. Sam Vokes and Andre Gray arrived at the AMEX a few weeks back as the league's most deadly combination, and they were kept reasonably quiet throughout.

Our home form has been excellent recently, unbeaten in the last seven games at the AMEX. Hopefully we can take a good hold of the match, dictate the tempo on the ball, and create some good opportunities. One thing I was impressed by in the last game, particularly in the first half, was the intensity we showed in trying to win the ball back once we had lost it. Putting pressure on the ball is a key part of the game, and one which I don't think is held in high enough regard.

My prediction: 2-1 to the Albion.

Like the team but need Skalak, during active play, and Wilson, to put in a firm and smart shift. Glad to have Knocky back in.

I hope Wilson is 100% fit now, if indeed he wasn't for the last few months.

Let's hope there's not another minutes silence for those Liverpool twits

Did you really feel that was necessary?

My niece ( Millie ) is 10 today and as a birthday gift her parents have organized for her to be a mascot at todays game. Apparently she is coming out alongside Bruno ( good luck sir ), now I'm not saying she speaks her mind but I can see her as the first mascot to be red carded by the ref.

Trains are a shambles, queue out of the station and down Queens Road as they're cancelling Lewes-bound trains. Chance of a delayed KO.

I think that's only if you have a uk IP address, I wasn't sure if it would work but proper happy that it is. 6 hours into a 14 hour flight, the next couple are going to go a bit quicker
