Seen a lot of posts about experimenting with the youngsters, I agree but not on monday. The last thing we want is to loose to the Tescos, it can't be as bad as last Sunday. The last time Nuno changed the team big-time was against Southampton in the cup. We got beaten and Nino got slated.
The only glimmer of hope from sunday was Fabio who got stuck in and contributed more in the time he was on the pitch than Jose did in his time. Fabio didn't say he was worth 35 million. somebody else did.

Very true alpine and great post. tesco lot are same as the vanilla they're going to keep playing for free kicks either to break our play up or so as they can hit box. need a good ref to see through that cus fat Sam will say slightest touch go down.

As I posted other day play big sam at his own game 1 up front 10 behind the ball.
We have quality to come on off the bench Traore podence silva.
It's a must not lose game there too much pride at stack to experiment with the kids imo.
So I agree with you both.

ps the wingbacks getting forward knowing that they're covered.
We need to be solid retain our shape and keep all avenues for west brom shut tight.
They are hanging on by their finger nails and will want to win we must win even it's a bore non event game.
We try with Traore podence Jose and Neto and too much of our games our attacking threat hasn't been there.
It's only because it's the derby and ramped up by Sunday's debacle a to why my feelings are so high.
It still hurts we lost to them at the mol monday we must have payback at all costs.

I hate losing to the Baggies as much as anybody else on here does. But next season we’ll be playing in the Premier League and Baggies won’t be. So now is a priceless time for blooding players who must be hungry for their opportunity. We may even be pleasantly surprised and as long as they put in a shift (which most of the team didn’t against Burnley), then that’s good enough for me.
Hoever, Otasowie and Corbeanu, let’s see what they’ve got.

Lexluna, we can't be hypocrites; we've a few Tom Daly's on our side as well who drop for nothing. Embarrassed with the antics of Podence agst Burnley. Not the only time he's done it either, nor the only one. Coady and Silva spring to mind. We should clean up our own act before criticising others.

I think we have to be honest with ourselves Monday is not going to be easy and after sundays totally inept performance the tescos will be fancying it more than us. We have got to reassess ourselves get players in familiar places with familiar roles. Old heads will be needed to deal with big Sam's topples and pains and a tolerance therewith. My concerns are midfield and centre. Will moutininho play? A game in which we surely need him. We should be able to win this, but where will goals come from? Jose no. Fabio might be good for 1, adama who knows, boly seiss? This match could well epitomise our season.

If I were manager, any player who fails to perform from the the first whistle on Monday would be top of the list to be shown the door. Injuries excepted.
The weeding out has to begin now. We can’t have the dross shown against Burnley who obviously played their socks off. Motivation now please Nuno. If they can’t give 100% plus now how will they be elevated for next year?
