Whelan will play first leg for sure, have to see if he can manage the quick turnaround.

Having his level head and experience at the Baggies game may also be better than Conor having another rush of blood to the head. Most importantly we need to take advantage of the home leg first and go to their place with a comfortable 2 or 3 goal cushion.
I’m one of his biggest critics but made an impact today and a great strike to turn the game.
Big respect to Hourihane. Really stepped up today when most of the team looked like bottling it.
