Berahino, Mulumbu and Varela dropped.

Despite the fact that we did well going forward and really beat ourselves with individual mistakes at the back...

Baird favored in front of Gamboa to replace the presumably injured Pocognoli.

I really hope Irvine pulls some sort of masterstroke because we are desperate for the points, but this selection looks terrible. Only hope is that we can grind something out.

[WBA-Josh]

The team is in:

Foster
Wisdom-McAuley-Lescott-Baird
Brunt
Dorrans-Morrison-Gardner-Sessegnon
Ideye

Myhill
Dawson
Gamboa
Yacob
Mulumbu
Varela
Berahino

Interesting team selection with safety in mind. I can understand it given we are away against a better team than us and that this is our 2nd game in 2 days but 1 more attacking player preferably out wide would at least give us more of a threat going forward on the break.

We shall see what is going to happen. I think it will be 1-1.

Awful, awful, awful.

Goodbye Irvine.

[bomberbrown1968]

This is the team he chooses to save his neck, it smacks of containment, negativity and setting out to preserve a nil nil

Never mind giving Stoke something to think about, we're just set up to not lose

[pipbaggie]

Dull, dull, dull.

Close the door on your way out Alan

[HarryJAllstarWBA]

Useless, that's a team to set up for a draw

[Beefy 1965]

The ones who have been our most dangerous are dropped,

Baird and no Gamboa WTF !!!!
