This really is a must win

On paper a game we should win but unfortunately we don’t play on paper, haven’t had a decent 90 minute performance since Plymouth away. Carlos needs to let go of handbrake for this one play Fellow’s, Grady in the hole behind Brandon with Mikey on left wing. Think I would freshen up midfield by giving Yann and Adam a run out at the expense of Okay and Mowatt.

I thought we were awful first half of that game then blew them away second half. Can't remember the last good full 90 myself, there's been very good halves and 30 minutes spells, but a full 90 not so sure.

Must win Wednesday, I hope we come racing out the blocks and go in 3-0 at half time but this is Albion.

Not sure I'd go for all of those.changes, but I would definitely start Fellows and think about starting MVila

I’m naturally cautious, but Rotherham truly are an awful side.

They’ve won 4 out of 41 games this season, and 0 away from home. In fact they’ve picked up a grand total of 4 points out of 60 away from home this season.

They’ve scored 13 goals in those 20 away games and conceded 56. They are the very definition of appalling.

Now I know all the pitfalls about complacency, strange results at the business end of the season, already down with nothing to lose, take nothing for granted, we’re not playing well. Absolutely.

But Rotherham are as big a sitting duck as you could wish to aim at.

I’d be hugely surprised - and even more massively disappointed - if we didn’t win this one.

zippyandbungle · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2024, 11:23:36 PM »

Palmer

Furlong
Kipre
Semi
Reach. ……yes reach

Mvila
Chalobah
Swift

Fellows
Asante
Diangana

Johnstone, Wallace and especially mowatt and Yokuslu need a rest
That team I’ve named have got more than enough for Rotherham .

baggiebof · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2024, 07:43:06 AM »

I'd give Yokuslu a rest and get some minutes into M'Vila but I'd be playing Mowatt; I expect Rotherham to come and defend and Mowatt is so important to us getting the ball forward in to good areas.

gazberg · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2024, 08:09:44 AM »

I agree with the other posters, give YOkuslu a rest, get some minutes into M'Vila.

As always i'd prefer us breaks off but it's likely to be breaks on.

This really is a must win, as all our other matchs are potentially more difficult. The factor 'momentum' is so important in this part of the season. Its what Coventry, Hull and Norwich may be building up, so we have to keep ours going.

I wouldn't make too many changes v Rotherham as players take time to adapt to new groupings in the team. If you chop and change too much, you break up some partnerships where players instinctively gel together.

Aussie Baggie · « **Reply #14 on:** April 08, 2024, 10:51:04 AM »

I’d put our best side out and only rest players if we’re comfortable. Big risk I know if we go into HT 0-0 but I’m concerned that if we rest players first up then it’ll be 0-1 at HT.

zac · « **Reply #15 on:** April 08, 2024, 08:21:19 PM »

Start strong and then rest players if we are comfortable. If we have any chance in the play offs Rotheram at home needs to be a win. On Friday against Plymouth Sky Sports showed their stats and they were 24th for most things like shots, goals scored etc.

Atomic · « **Reply #16 on:** April 08, 2024, 11:57:36 PM »

It's a big few days coming up. If Coventry beat Southampton and we fail to beat Rotherham the mood changes completely. However, if we beat Rotherham and then beat Sunderland on Saturday we can breathe easily.

Someone wake me up on Sunday morning. I'll be able to tell by the smile or the misery on the face how the week has gone.

I'm expecting more than a few gaps in the crowd for this one. No disrespect to Rotherham (while automatically sounding disrespectful) but an already relegated side on a probably wet Wednesday night for an 8pm red button fixture won't be of much appeal to some in our season ticket base.

On the flip side I thought Rotherham did very well to keep us at arms length for much of the game at their place. And let's be honest, the pressure is very definitely off their players and you rarely know what you're going to get in this division.

Here's hoping the players keep their concentration and the crowd doesn't get restless if we're not 2 up in the first fifteen minutes. Although it would be appreciated I am not expecting a complete walkover and imagine Rotherham will keep us honest so patience will be required.

I think forner Viler Andre Green is still injured and really want the pantomime villain/donkey that is Jordan Hugill to miss out. I struggle emotionally seeing him on a football pitch and knowing what might have been. That and he comes across as an utter b'end of course.

Sadly I'll be one of the missing as I won't leave work until after 5, going to have to buy an audio pass.

As you say the pressure is off their players and I'm expecting a tough game. I'm hoping that they will come with a Gung Ho! attitude and leave lots of space for Johnston, Fellows/Wallace and Diangana to exploit. They might decide to try and stifle us and hit on the break though.

Theres a topic in the general sports forum that is already discussing other Championship games, can you use that one please to avoid duplicate posts.

Brooklynbaggie · « **Reply #20 on:** April 10, 2024, 07:09:32 AM »

I think we shouldn’t start resting people, play the strongest team and get points on the board, especially after last nights results. We have a good chance over the next two games to put ourselves in prime play off position.
If we are guaranteed a play off position then rest people. I don’t think it matters if we are 5th or 6th, we are capable of beating (and losing to unfortunately) any of the other play off contenders.
Let’s win the supposedly ‘easier games’ if there is such a thing!! Minimal tinkering with the mainstay team.

An attacking line up tonight. Majo on the bench

gazberg · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2024, 07:18:31 PM »

Reach in for Townsend
M'Vila in for Mowatt
Fellows and Swift start too

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #23 on:** April 10, 2024, 07:22:07 PM »

Good to see Townsend finally dropped.

BaggieBoy04 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2024, 07:28:48 PM »

Wallace isn't in the squad, We probably aren't on WM Freeview even as despite our take over Blues dominate, anyway let's get 3 points today COYB.
