If were 4 up bring on in injury time so that he can bow out at the top.
Apart from that it's a no from me

I would start Brunty aT left back. Townsend has nosedived, Gibbs must be doubtful.
Brunty has a cool head, can pick a pass from left back, and will add to our ability to strike from set pieces.

The only place he could play is LB and I wouldn't even play him there if we are going to play Grosicki who offers zero protection .

I especially admired his cool head in the play off semi.

Masterful.

Bench, 90+2 if we are 2 or 3 ahead, that's it.

It's got nothing to do with sentiment, we were dreadful on Friday, Sawyers being particularly  poor.

Don't disagree about Sawyers but there are others ahead of him for me. Only place i can see him is at LB if Gibbs is out. Townsend- no thanks.

If we've won the game and there's 20 left bring him on. No chance he should be starting.

Shouldn’t start in my view. Nothing wrong in using him late on to protect a lead, should we have one, but not nearly good enough to start.

Despite our panic ridden evening in Huddersfield, and all the aforementioned possible changes, surely match fitness is a factor that has to be considered.

I'd have Krov linking it up and tell Livermore to sit and tackle. Not Harper.

Harper needs a season in the championship for club like Luton or Charlton.

Those pointing back to last season's PO Semi final need to remember we needed Brunt the whole game and had no other options.

Playing Brunt from the start, knowing that at 60 mins we have decent replacements (that we didnt have last year) is a good option for me.

We were like terrified children last week. Brunt has the experience we need imo. Sawyers form has nosedived after the first half of the season and I'd bench him in favour of Brunt.

I think at least one of those teams won't be in the championship next season! You are right though for his own development he needs to play regularly at Championship level. Somewhere like Sheff Wed or another mid-table side, rather than a side that struggles near the bottom.

As for Brunt, I hope we don't need him but I hope he can get some game time when the result is safe.

Brunt hasn't started a game for how long ? Is he really going to be up to speed with the potential hustle and bustle of the first 30 minutes and up to continually making himself available for the ball the way Sawyers does ? Keep him for the last 15 or 20 minutes at most.

Love him or hate him you cannot take away the loyalty brunty has shown Albion over the last 11 years . I have shouted his name and danced in the isles when he’s scored his rocket of a free kick goals but also called him when he’s Skyed it from 6 yards or took a corner and it’s gone over to the opposite corner , but one thing I will say is Thank you Chris Brunt you are a true Albion legend .

I hope they give him some time on the pitch against QPR  even if it’s only the last five minutes .

Loyalty at 30k per week?
I’ve been associated with the Albion longer than him, but not one of you buggers is trying to get me a game....and I’ve got some nice boots.

A very valid point even if made in jest. Oh and by the way his best pay packet with us was almost double that. Hard life innit?
