WBA VS ROVERS - SAT 27TH

[AllRoverAsia]

Inspirational or insanity. We are going to find out soon.

I can't see that team defending very well so going for it?

Not a fan of the false 9 shit.

Better keep it on the floor then, long hopeless balls up to the top are going to be bread and butter, even for their defense.

Bizzare. Dack has been playing very deep sometimes recently (and completely smothered when on the ball) so at the very least we might be able to keep him up the pitch this time out.

But leaving three strikers on the bench... wowza.

Thinking the same but no Lenihan will cut out longballs a bit and we have some decent 'passers' of the ball in all areas

Unbelievable.

To start with no recognised striker and have three on the bench of whom two cost £9million is farcical.

[yellowsubmarine]

Weird lineup. We definitely aren't playing long balls then, gonna pass the ball around like Barca. Who needs strikers anyway.

Apart from our top scorer last season and this.

Not a striker though - a number 10.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Not at all sure about this Dack upfront experiment. Win or draw and that will be irrelevant though

Signed and recognised as an attacking midfielder!

Never saw Frank 'goals' Lampard referred to as a striker.

Only if Brereton comes on! Scores for fun in 5s

I guess Jimmy Greaves wasn’t a striker either then, that was Gilzean. I’d be a lot less happy if Graham was in and Dack was out.

Dack has never been a striker his entire career, attacking midfielder yes, striker , no. 

I am not sure I agree with the last sentence either, Graham has been more important to the team in recent matches especially considering our other strikers are seemingly not trusted enough to be able to play up top. Dack has also been quiet the last few matches.

Funnily enough the player that Dack says he models his game on.

Strange line up indeed. If we were going to go experimental why not give Brereton a go up top? If we get a result here then I guess we all hold our hands up and say fair enough, Tony's a genius. If not then wtf.

Unbelievable lineup. Methinks TM has lost the plot!  ?????

Until same time next week! I wasn’t expecting a result before I saw the team, and I’m sure he’s got the West Brom staff wondering what they are going to be facing. 

Come on you Blues, pass our way to victory!

[davulsukur]

Very odd lineup. 

For Moggas sake, I hope it doesn’t go tits up.

[JacknOry]

Still thinking this could even be 3 at the back. Heck, we dont know for sure who is playing up top - might be Bennett, he has played just about everywhere else to be fair. 

WBA are playing 3-4-1-2 apparently.

[G Somerset Rover]

JHC the tombola has struck big time today. I think it’s very very bizzarre how he brings the likes of Rothwell and Palmer in for one match then they don’t get a sniff for a couple weeks regardless of how they perform in said game. Imagine they must be peeved too. Let’s hope it comes off for TMs sake today but I just get the feeling that we’ll find the ball continuing to come back into our half with no Graham.

LOL. Welcome to Tony's Tombola. You never know what you're gonna get.

[Tom]

If we lose that’s a shocking decision, win and it’s inspired.

Either way it’s brave!
