Strong West Brom team!! what with Gareth Barry, Chris Brunt, Rekeem Harper, Kenneth Zohore, Charlie Austin all starting

Callumcafc

Shows the gulf in squad sizes. None of those WBA players have been starting recently.

That's probably the strongest bench we have had for months!!!

Who’s Henry? Blimey we are threadbare!

ForeverAddickted

Would love it if Bowyer has a word with Bilic about us getting Conor Townsend (Left-Back)

Really rated him when he was at Scunthorpe

Excited to watch some of the young guns. Gutted to not see the best name in Football, Wilberforce Ocran

U18 Midfielder (?)

Out of interest who are numbers 41 and 45 and are they cup tied or out on loan?

Henry is a youngster that Steve avory is incredibly excited about, think he is only 16 but apparently he is mustard. Good luck son!

Messing up your OCD is it? 

45 is Doughty (cup tied) - We dont actually have a No.41

Callumcafc

Aaron Henry and Abraham Odoh make first team debuts.

Surprised Maloney isn’t playing after being recalled - unless he’s injured 

Horsfield9

A 2-0 loss and no more injuries , I'd be more than happy with that!

Why no Maloney or Ledley?

Dillon Phillips is going to be a very busy boy this afternoon I fear.

I predicted 0-3 but fear it might be 5 or 6.

Nice of Hemed to show his face though. 

Sillybilly

Fuck me, even though I was expecting it, that is one barrel scrape of a team line up!!!!!  And 11 changes for WBA. Anyone wasting £15 on this is bonkers. Good luck to the kids. I hope they don’t get a mullering that puts them back and, please, no more injuries. I assume Ledley has left the building?

I just wondered how broken, young or both they must be not to get a game.

I'd like to be the first and probably last to thank Joe Ledley for his wonderful contribution. 

ForeverAddickted

Post-Match against Swansea I read that Ledley was our player till the 6th January with Bowyer mulling (Bet that took long) over giving him an extension

Talal

Good to see Williams and Hemed back, nice surprise. Would rather Pratley and Gallagher had a complete rest, hopefully they're not used.

I was going into this match expecting to genuinely not care. Surprisingly though, the bench return of Williams and Hemed has really cheered me up, so that's nice. There's actually more first teamers in the line-up than I was expecting. Hope all the young kids enjoy the game and don't get totally pummeled, don't want their confidence to be crushed.
