Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can see the ground from the train station too.

Their home form is decent in the league: 4 wins, 4 draws and only 1 defeat (to Hull in August).

Looks like it'll sell out then. Just shows what a 3pm Saturday kick off can achieve, along with a new ground and a chance to miss the Christmas shopping!

I have made a school boy error though as I have to drive down to Brum to see Clutch play at the O2 Academy that night (I could have sworn it was a home game for us when I booked the Clutch ticket!)

Oh deary me, now that is a school boy error. Do you think you'll be able to make the 1 hr 35 minute journey down the M1 in time or would that be 'clutch'ing at straws

?

Clutching at straws, very good, do you write the jokes in crackers in your spare time?

Luckily there are 2 other bands on so hopefully Clutch won't be on until about 9pm, so I should have more than enough time. I'll be driving to my moms in West Bromwich rather than Brum centre and getting the train from the Hawthorns.

No chap but if I did then it'd explain why most of them are cr@p

All of the best regarding the O2.

Well guys. Morrison and Robson-Kanu will probably be available for this game I would expect so what would you guys do? Would you bring them back in?

Personally I wouldn't. As far as I'm concerned we played so well second half at Bramall Lane that all those guys deserve to keep their place. Competition for places is terrific and just as when Mozza and Kanu had the shirt and Gaz Baz and Gayley had to wait for their opportunity now it's Mozza and Kanu's turn to wait. This is the type of competition for places we need.

So, unchanged for me:

Johnstone

Adarabioyo Dawson Hegazi Gibbs

Phillips Livermore Barry

Gayle Rodriguez Barnes

Subs: Myhill, Mears, Brunt, Morrison, Robson - Kanu, Burke, Harper.

Second clean sheet of the season coming up.

I like Moore's loyalty and rewarding of good performances so the team will start the same but I'd be very keen to have Morrison in for one of Barry and Livermore.

They were excellent second half against Sheffield United but that was after Moore's tactical tweak, I think there's more balance with Morrison in there.

Sold out apparently 2,500 travelling Baggies avoiding the last minute Christmas shopping

We really have to win this and next 2 at home if we want to hang onto the top two's coat-tails

SmethDan · « **Reply #16 on:** December 15, 2018, 06:52:19 PM »

Really looking forward to this one.

Large away following and we're on a decent run.

What could possibly go wrong

All about keeping a winning team. Competition for places brings out the best in players.
All the midfield have been doing well. Morrison was playing well prior to his injury so they know they need to perform to retain their place.

The manager should be telling the front 3 that HRK was on form prior to his injury so they need to be on form- particular Rodriguez who has been poor for quite a while. Also sako surely is fit by now so is another that wants in.

chipperclark · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2018, 11:46:24 PM »

No need to change a winning side...keep as is until they F/Up???

Maybe start with Barry and bring Mozza/Brunt on in the last 20 minutes,when he tires.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 17, 2018, 06:01:15 AM »

With 6 games in what 18 days? We will need to rotate, Rotherham are dreadful so expect 4 or 5 changes to be honest, we may wait until the home games in Christmas week but I feel Wigan and Sheffield Weds are stronger than Rotherham.

I'm a bit concerned about our ability to struggle against the teams at the lower end of the table.
Here come the cliches, sorry,

No easy games in this league
Don't change a winning team
Take it one game at a time
Don't worry about the game until its the next game .........

SmethDan · « **Reply #22 on:** December 17, 2018, 11:08:07 AM »

Despite their league position this has got potential banana skin written all over it. Forget where they are in the table for the moment and look at recent performances. While I havenâ€™t seen them actually play these are the numbers of chances theyâ€™ve created in recent games:

Rotherham 26 (10 on target) v Reading 19 (5 on target) 1-1.
Sheffield Wednesday 12 (4) v Rotherham 15 (4) 2-2.
Norwich 19 (7) v Rotherham 10 (4) 3-1 defeat.
Rotherham 13 (7) v QPR 17 (6) 2-2.
Rotherham 26 ( 8 ) v Sheffield United 6 (4) 2-2.
Blackburn 25 (9) v 13 (1) 1-1.
Rotherham 7(4) v Swansea 12 (4) 2-1 win.

Going back further theyâ€™ve lost one league game since defeat to Blues on October 6th (Norwich 3-1). Yes we should be looking to replicate the Norwich result and they can definitely be got at, but so can we. While the amount of draws theyâ€™ve had since the Blues game (D8, L1, W1) suggests they lack a knockout punch, our record regarding clean sheets suggests we have an invitingly soft underbelly. This game is not a given.

Always always pot the ball in front of you first
Same team , go 3-0 rest some

mulliganstired · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2018, 08:50:14 PM »

Rotherham are no more "dreadful" than Wigan or Hull, 11 seasoned pros will be out there for them fighting for their pride, championship status and just maybe that move to a bigger club for some of them. We will need to match them physically, so same team for me.
