Lots of defensive players. Wonderful exciting Steve Bruce

Lots of players out of position too, will finally catch us out against a decent side today.

So much for the wholesale changes. He's just put the ones he 'rested' for Burton back in the team. No Bolasie?

Albert entirely discarded from the 18.

He has struggled with his final ball this season, playing on the 'wrong' side mostly, but his energy and cover defensively are important for us, especially away from home. UTV

You're right, could be worse.

That was what he meant. Bolasie after the international break

Hope that our injury doubts are genuinely ok

I had a feeling all weak we'd lose this. But that team really should be able to put in a good show.

Concerned about Kodjia trying to hold it up against a back three

That's what he said he'd do. Bolasie is not fit and they are aiming for him to be back for the Blackburn game in a fortnight.

Adomah has a back injury.

What is more worrying is no Bolasie in the squad. Would have expected him to have been on the bench and given 10 or 15 minutes ... for Hutton of course.

Apparently their defence is also well dodgy. Potential to be a high scoring game, so 0-0 it is.

I'm disappointed with that, Now that he knows he was no longer wanted we wont see him.

The bench isint great is it.

Usual crap team selection we've come to expect from Nan's hair. oh well, another 90 minutes of Kodjia-ball.
