Vive_La_Villa Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Unfortunately unlikely to make Sunday so if anyone wants my ticket let me know. Appreciate their may not be as much interest now there’s nothing to play for but offers there as it will only go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted April 30, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2019 I know I wanted everyone rested for the previous game, but I REALLY want everyone rested for this one. We need to be at full strength for the Baggies. Anything that happens versus Norwich will likely impact on that game. We can't afford any injuries or suspensions. Playing a full strength team is playing Russian roulette against a side who can go hell for leather in what is their final game of the season before putting their feet up. They want to be Champions and they'll do whatever is required for that to happen. We don't want our prize assets getting in the way of that. If you want to go up, then don't risk it all in a game that means far more to our opponents than to us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a draw to remain unbeaten all day long but think they will have too much for a potential second string. Ah well, we've done amazing to get into the playoffs; have to be happy. I said at start of season id take 6th right now, so my expectations have already been surpassed. Give Davis, Elphick, Hause, Lansbury, Chester some minutes to get them up to speed incase needed in a few weeks. Yeah considering we were on the verge of going into administration pre-season things have turned out surprisingly well haven't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2019 10 of our previous matchday 18 need to be in our next squad as per EFL rules. So that's 10 from Steer, Sarkic, Taylor, Mings, Tuanzebe, Elmohamady, Hutton, El Ghazi, Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane, Green, Adomah, Jedinak, Whelan, Bjarnason, Lansbury, Kodjia On the basis of who is irreplaceable from a quality or squad depth point of view, I would rest the following Taylor, Mings, Tuanzebe, Grealish, McGinn, Hourihane, El Ghazi, Whelan & Kodjia. I would put Hourihane and Kodjia on the bench though. With that in mind, my team to face Norwich would be With a bench of Sarkic, Revan, Bridge, Hourihane, Ramsey, Knibbs & Kodjia So the 10 from the previous squad would be Steer, Jedinak, Elmohamady, Hutton, Green, Adomah, Bjarnason, Lansbury, Hourihane & Kodjia. * Edited because we don't own Bedeau any more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes a difference to us. If it's outfield players it's clearly to stop teams playing goalkeepers out of position just to see out the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way, we can just put someone extra from the previous squad on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can rest 6 of those 16 outfield players completely. The 6 Id leave out the squad completely would be Jack, McGinn, Mings, Whelan, El Ghazi and Hourihane, ( and Steer because he’s extra)...although of course the staff will have access to fitness data we aren’t privy to. 6 of those 7 will be in our Play Off 11. The other 10 have to be in the squad, but don’t have to start, so my Subs would be Taylor, Elmo, Green, Albert, Axel, Kodja And a GK. So Sarkic Hutton Jedi Elphick Hause Lansbury Birkir Xxxxxx xxx Davies Tammy ( If needs a run out, half a game ) (Two prospects.) I don’t suppose he will go that far, but that’s about as careful as I can get it. Really though I think the important thing is that the 6 plus Steer don’t play. Ive a feeling McGinn will be the only one he actually fully rests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
