[Albion] Defence v West Ham

[RM-Taylor]

Igor injured (according to Naylor and the Athletic) and Dunk suspended.

Leaves us with one first-team centre back in van Hecke who is match fit.

So who plays alongside JPvH on Tuesday?

Under-21 options are:

Ben Jackson
Leigh Kavanagh
Casper Nilsson
Rauri McConville
Noël Atom

 

[martin tyler]

Hopefully igor is a minor thing and he can play. Otherwise Gross plays most positions may as well try and have a dabble at CB as well try get a game in every position before the season ends

 

[Mancgull]

Milner.
McConville on the bench

 

[jcdenton08]

Milner played there a couple of times during a Liverpool injury crisis. The thing is with De Zerbi you just never know. He’ll probably do something mad. I’d have to predict Milner as the most likely, I suppose.

 

[Bozza]

Gross, obviously.

And he'll be f***ing fantastic.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Steele CB with Bart in goal, finally solving the rotation dilemma.

 

[Change at Barnham]

The transfer window would have opened by the day before, I expect TB to have bought a ready made world class central defender by 2nd Jan.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well, apparently we were double-bum f***ed before the KO today, with our threadbare squad of hopeless ingénues, and legless old lags, and yet we go 4-0 up against Spuds. We made them look Spursy.

So who, the absolute f***, knows how we will set up next game?

 

[brighton_tom]

What the situation on Veltman?

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Steele CB with Bart in goal, finally solving the rotation dilemma.

The way Steele flaps his arms about, he's bound to give up a few handball pens.

.

 

[Argartu]

Has to be Leigh Kavenagh. Scans with Felis Navidad!

 

[RM-Taylor]

What the situation on Veltman?

Out until mid Feb isn’t he

 

[brighton_tom]

Back three of Hinshelwood, JPVH, and Pervis.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Back three of Hinshelwood, JPVH, and Pervis.

I imagine we'd rather ease Perv back in. Looks like we'll have no choice but to play him.

 

[Bodian]

We won't bother with defence. Just try to get 6-0 up before they get into out penalty area.

 

[junior]

I reckon Milner.

 

[Dibdab]

Wonder if Baleba could do a job at CB

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Milner.

Baleba a little ill disciplined for CB, Moder height wise?

Pascal as sweeper, spraying the ball about like Beckenbaur (?sp)

How long is Veltman out for?

Edit - just seen above response….

 

[chaileyjem]

My guess is Igor will recover.

 

[brighton_tom]

Igor just did an ‘ask me anything’ thing on his Instagram. When asked if he will be fit for West Ham he didn’t say yes or no, but said he has some inflammation of his achilles tendon.
