That would be a decent bench if the first team was a bit better.

[N'ZMAV]

Does any one know if the game is on Radio in West Mids?

[eastie]

Huge game - we need to start well today.

[Monty]

Ugh how did Delph keep his place? Otherwise, Stevens deserves a chance (Bennett was indeed horrible), good to see Vlaar on the bench and Westwood back is very welcome.

[Risso]

Great, Delph starts, despite the absence of any evidence that he's actually a footballer at all.

Doubt it as we are at home, I think I heard absolute radio have it live on national radio though today .

[l_mckay]

Bit surprised Delph is starting,about time he gave us a good performance so let's hope it's today

[The Situation]

Hmm, Vlaar on bench. Probably just easing his way back to full fitness rather than rushing. Hopefully we don't need him today but I'd be more confident if he was playing.

Joe Bennett has just tweeted he is at home ill.

No Bent in the squad... But Balsa Ron on the bench. I may regret saying this but I quite like Delph.

Repent heathen!

Bent has ligament strain will miss the Albion game too.
