Just watched TP pre match Q&A and it seems he believed we allowed them to dictate the pace of the game first half by not starting with more urgency and purpose and so he had words at HT and there was improvement. Too many times I've heard that said about us and the proof is conceding more goals in first 15 mins than any other team. I wonder why we can't start and get on the front foot more often I'm baffled. Is it that we're too slow coupled with lesser skill levels to the big teams But what about teams in an around us I really don't understand

I have gone negative on this weekend. I fear we will fall short again. I have never seen The Albion in a semi final let alone a final and I just fear fate is going to kick me in the guts again ?

I feel the same but we need to be positive now.

I'm getting more confident throughout the day, I think we'll see a reaction from the players and west Ham em.

Rumours of a Benteke injury and fights around the ground (both from Twitter)

Myhill for Foster and Olsson for Fletcher apparently.

[WBA Will]

Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Olsson, Brunt, Morrison, Yacob, Gardner, Berahino, Ideye.

Four centre backs. All righty then. 3-5-2? With Dawson as a wing back? In our biggest game of the season?? (At least from my perspective).

[betterthanbaird]

Albion team: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Olsson, Brunt, Morrison, Yacob, Gardner, Berahino, Ideye

Subs: Foster, Wisdom, Pocognoli, Baird, Mulumbu, Sessegnon, McManaman.

I'm so confused.
