I would like to see Vicente taking the free Kicks.......cant believe twice Dicker pulled rank! Maybe Dicker should have a look at you tube and most of Vicentes goals are free kicks!

Come on the Albion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely - He's had time to 'bed in' - Now he gets his first start, let's see what he's really made of. Must be the deadball specialist we so need after Benno.

Agree but I thought we could do with a bit of a freshen up in attack as well.

I agree with Navarro coming in for Harley and Caleron coming back, the midfield looks interesting and it could be good, but maybe a bit one paced going forward. We'll see.

tbh I'd take 0-0 right now. :blush:

13 goals for the front 2 in all competitions, both linking up well despite what people think... front two are NOT where our problems lie, if indeed we have any "problems" as such

Looks like a 4-2-2-2 formation. Narrow/Diamond.

Only one change in the starting XI from the one I predicted/wanted. I had Sparrow in and Vicente omitted. Same narrow formation, but Sparrow is a box-to-box midfielder and Vicente is a specialist. But my subs choice was different.

It also explains the distaste of Arrigo Sacchi (AC Milan 90s) for 4-2-3-1.
The Question: is the box-to-box midfielder dead? | Sport | guardian.co.uk

This journo argues between utility midfielders and specialists. The trouble with specialists like Vicente is that might not be able to defend. The idea is that he can score or make goals quicker than we concede them. The reason I did not put Vicente in my choice is that I did not think he was match fit.

Dicker has got to be in the side to take the corners (if we get any which we might not).

Not sure why Harley is on the bench, I can't think of a reason to bring him on - if we are winning he will not add to defence, if we are losing he will not make the same sort of impact as KLL.

Could replace Dicker or Vicente if either have a nightmare I suppose, but I'd have put Lualua on the bench (if he's fit).

How do we all feel - I have no idea whether Jekyll or Hyde will turn up! Hope for a confident performance and a good result, but who knows.
