Can't see it being any different than that unless there are injuries.
And that team SHOULD get the job done easily.

Like it did on Saturday?

We need shaking up. Wide right is a massive problem, there was acres of space available on Saturday and Dorrans was inside while Wisdom was too reserved to exploit it. Gamboa needs to come in for one of them, not bothered which. I'd be looking to take Dawson out of the firing line too. We are conceding 2 goals a game recently, McAuley is still the superior of the two.

I did say SHOULD.  :D

But I agree with the rest of your post, I'd be happy with the changes you suggest.

A fair few going by train I would guess, which are every half hour from Birmingham New Street. By all accounts there is normally a heavy Police presence around the station and if I remember right the Albion fans were in the pub opposite the railway station.

This, the police were everywhere at the station last time. I'd say either go really early to avoid the crowds or stay local before getting the train over just in time for kick off. Unless you want to be herded into the pub opposite the station.

We're going on the train too and hoping to get there early, just before 11. I believe the pub opposite the station is called The Hind and the other one mentioned at the top of the page is called The Counting House but a decent walk from the station. Will see how the mood takes us.

Expect a large police presence for this match. They'll try to herd Albion into the pub across the road from the station I'd imagine. The train on the way back should be lively.

I wouldn't mind but it's a rubbish pub.

Gamboa in for Dorrans would give us a new air of unpredictability and also some goddamn much needed width! All I can see is get Varela fit, until then stick Gamboa in, it's very obvious that he can do a job going forward.

Sounds like such a massive Police overkill - and waste of resources. Still, I imagine they need to get their kicks from somewhere..

I'll be on the 10 to 10 train and I won't appreciate being ushered into a pub.

Lawro and Merse Predicts
« Reply #42 on: October 30, 2014, 10:54:46 PM »
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29782277

Leicester v West Brom

Leicester are still in a sticky patch after that big win over Manchester United and, away from home, they have been goal shy.

They are more of a threat at home, though, and I still think they will be fine in terms of staying up.
What might be holding the Foxes back is the number of changes Nigel Pearson is making for each game. I'm not sure he has the depth in his squad to do that - he needs to get back to his best team and pick up a win to take a bit of pressure off.

West Brom seem to be so reliant on Saido Berahino's goals at the moment, but his purple patch will not last forever.

The Baggies showed character to fight back from 2-0 down to draw with Crystal Palace last time out but, for me, the outcome of this game will depend on Leicester's approach. If it is a positive one, they will win.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Rachel Riley's Prediction: 2-1

Leicester v West Brom

There’s a lot of good games in the fixture list this weekend and this will be one of them. A game like this might not have a big significance later in the season, but this will. Leicester are terrible away from home at the moment and need to get to winning ways. At home they are a bit better and I will go for a draw in this game because West Brom are a good team and Saido Berahino is always a threat on the break.

God I wish both of these Kn03heads would finally prove the theory about spontaneous human combustion. Lord knows they are so full of hot air.

If Merson and Lawro were in a fight to the death, who would win? And then what would we do with the other one?

We haven't actually lost at Leicester since the 1993 season and historically have a good record there. Looking forward to this one although they have goals in them so going to be a really tough game.

It's the law of averages that dictates that Lawro will always be less than average.

Got a good record at Leicester recently winning 4 and drawing 1 in the last 5 games.

Its a game that Leicester will be looking to win and will take the game to us no doubt but we could counter them with Berahino and Sessegnon.

Close one but I think we can beat them 2-1 FGS Sessegnon.

Richard Sneekes scored one of the best goals I've seen from an Albion player at Filbert Street around that time. Lost the match 4-1 mind.
