---------------------Seigrist-----------------
---Walker---Cuellar---Clark---Baker---
---------------Makoun---Delph------------
--Young---------Bannan------Downing--
---------------------Bent---------------------

Friedel, Collins, Bradley, Albrighton, Gardner, Petrov, Agbonlahor

That side would beat Wigan.

i thought that about most our our sides vs Wigan at home since they've been promoted but unfortunately it hasnt been the case. Hopefully we can stuff them this time.

I think with the gap between 9th & 14th so tight, we need to make sure we pick up six points in the next two games. Then maybe go with something similar to VS's team above. The kids put in a pretty good turn against ManYoo earlier in the season, maybe with the pressure off they might surprise a few people.

Yes, we've found a bit of form. Let's not dock around

Would be as about as untried as I would go. I may be being a bit harsh on the likes of Young, Petrov and NRC but it is important to note that they could come in and we could mix and match. The guys coming in are by no means bad players IMHO and in some cases may prove given the chance than players who have played more this season who have been monumental let downs on and off the pitch or merely proved at best limited on it. The only player who this is harsh on

That's way too much change for tomorrow
The whole spine of that line up is one experiment too far

I'd prefer to beat the Baggies first.

We may still need 2 more points let's not lose sight of that

I don't give a toss as long as we get enough points for safety.

A major problem with our defense this season is that we've had no settled central defense - so the first thing everybody suggests is replacing the central defense we've managed to go 4 games unbeaten with.  That makes sense.  *shrug*

I think we should give kids run out after 65 minutes depending on the game. I would like to try out the young goalkeeper. If we got it right he could be our Iker Callias 

Well we've had Bannan (optimistically) compared to Iniesta before, so why not. If we can dig out a Baresi or Beckenbauer from the stiffs we'll be set.

We need to finish as high up the table to earn as much money as possible to buy the best players available in the summer.

Can I assume season ticket holders would be reluctant to make up the difference in lost revenue should we experiment now?

Experimentation now would be an act of unbelievable naivety
I can't see it happening other than cameo sub appearances
We need a strong finish ie. At least 8 more points
