Looks like a 433.

Johnstone
Nyom - Bartley - O’Shea - Gibbs
Phillips - Livermore - Harper
Leko - Burke - Edwards

Can interchange with 442:

Johnstone
Nyom - Bartley - O’Shea - Gibbs
Phillips - Livermore - Harper - Edwards
Leko - Burke

Interesting Josh,

Nyom in - is he staying in which case I think he would be a real asset for us in the championship, if his head is in the right place. 
Or is he playing so he is in the shop window. 

Centre backs - Interesting that O'Shea is ahead of Fitzwater. He played level 7 in 2017/18 and won the league with Hereford, moved up 3 levels to Exeter last season and played well, then played for the Ireland U21 team this summer, and played most matches and they did well. He looks like a real prospect. Is Slaven taking a proper look at him in a match. Is he a possible squad player?

Has anyone seen much of him.

Midfield looks good, young and fast. plus Krovinovic, Brunt and Field all on the bench.

Jury out on the forwards, but I guess SB has little else to pick from, I do like Edwards, he seems to have a good attitude.

Anyone got a stream to watch or listen to the game.

3-0 defeat isn’t a good start to our pre-season matches but having seen the team put out, we can now really see where we are lacking in the squad and Bilić will too.

First signing has to be a striker in my option because we only have HRK and Burke at the moment. Then we can add to the rest of the squad such as centre back, right back, left wing, another striker and another centre midfield player of Bilić so wishes.

[WBA-Josh]

Team for tonight’s match against Rotherham:

Bond
Furlong - Ajayi - Fitzwater - Townsend
Leko - Harper - Brunt - Tulloch
HRK - Zohore

[drewks]

Blimey.... is Brunty DRB checked for childminding??

[SomersetBaggie]

Didn't get to see the match, sounds as if we are still very light up front. What is Zohore looking like?

[WBA-Josh]

1-1 at full time.

Not as good a team put out tonight but it’s only a friendly. Our final friendly will give us a good idea of what Bilić is going to do this season.

[Baggievicar]

Apparently a very bright start against Bournemouth.
From the OS:
'Some flashes of brilliance from Croatian summer signing Krovinović, who immediately looks at home at The Hawthorns.'
I don't know when I last felt that brilliance made someone look at home at the Shrine - must be a good sign.

[WBA-Josh]

Team tonight is:

Johnstone
Ferguson - Bartley - Ajayi - Townsend
Harper - Livermore ©
Krovinovic
Phillips - Zohore - Edwards

Furlong and Gibbs on the bench.

[Blue Baggie]

Positives from the new boys -
AjAyi looks a great buy - another beast
Filip looks as though he could be our new Barnes
Negatives
Zahore looks lost, he could be another HRK in the making.
It's all early days atm but we appear to have no goal threat, forget defence and midfield we need 2 strikers who can score goals urgently
