There are no must win games this early in the season, but after the past week and looking at our run-in, anything other than a win here will seriously dent my recent optimism for the season.

Foster
Wisdom - Dawson - Lescott - Pocognoli
Gardner - Morrison
Gamboa - Sessegnon - Brunt
Berahino

One change from the Palace game for me, drop Dorrans for the sole reason that Dozza/Mozza/Gardner/Brunt are almost carbon copies of each other and playing all 4 together means we are too one-dimensional. Morrison could be dropped too but Mulumbu was poor last night and I can't see AI dropping any of them tbh. Gamboa should be given a go in front of Wisdom, I know a lot of Albion fans have been calling for it and after last nights shambles and the way Palace's pace ripped us to shreds at times I am beginning to agree with them, we need more pace out wide in the final third.

p.s - If Ideye gets a chance in this one he needs to take it, the longer his ineffectiveness goes on the worse his confidence will get and the more the fans will turn against him and the £10m price tag.
