4-3-1-2 innit? Tonev in the hole with the two big men rotating up front?

I honestly forget what formation we played against Cardiff.

Must be. Can't quite see Tonev as wing back! Who wouldn't be playing upfront in a 4231??

Yeah, I think so, unless we are going to play a squished 433.

Anyway 4312 could be smart if we are going to bypass their midfield on the counter.

Against Cardiff Tonev seemed to alternate between playing left wing back, making us a 3-5-2, or floating in midfield, where we then looked more like a 4-3-1-2. I think it'll be similar to day. When Tonev hugged the touchline Baker/Clark seemed to tuck in and make it 3 centerhalves. But depending on who out of Baker/Clark play on the left hand side, neither is going to get forward much if they're in the fullback position.

Honestly, that's such an ordinary, mundane looking side. The only thing I think this will effectively mean is that the game is going to be pretty dour. I think Lamberts put out a side to try and physically match the Baggies in a tough Derby game. We should be fairly tight, but I'm guessing we're banking on some Benteke magic to nick the game.

I like the idea of Gabby coming off the bench and grabbing the winner.

According to him we'll miss the pace of Weimann. Weimann and pace aren't words I normally put in the same sentence.

I wonder if the Bitters who have infested this site recently will comment on how well behaved our fans were during that tribute?

And Savage has been very impressed with Westwood this season.

I doubt it. It's past most of their bedtime.
