    Selections.

    If you ask any fan from any club to select their best side there will always be differing opinions. Having said this, it is my considered opinion that the majority of Albion fans, and certainly those on this site, are puzzled at Carlos’ recent selections.

    At this moment in time and with our injuries most of us would agree with Palmer, Furlong, Holgate, Heggam and Styles. After that it is more difficult, but I certainly didn’t agree with Carlos’ selections. Personally, I would go with Molumby, Mowatt, Fellows, Maja, Swift and Grant.

    I’m certain others will disagree with my selection but I don’t think that many would have gone with last night’s starting line-up.

    Yes, I pretty much agree with you, Leicester. Does anyone know what our longest run of consecutive draws is? We are on five now, how many more for some sort of record?

    Luton are a decent side and a nightmare at home, they’re just in a rut like us.

    I think I understand that CC needed runners in this game otherwise we risked being out fought.

    I’m not a big fan of Diangana and would like to see more of Swift but this wasn’t the game for him.

    Fellows, I think has been figured out and has become easier to defend against. But I think he’ll feature against Burnley.

    Matt, if what you say regarding runners is correct, why leave out Molumby?

    Don't personally disagree with any of that Leics. 👍

    Be nice if Johnston regained his form but Grant continues to earn his place with his work rate and determination. Racic may have improved since his early showings but prefer Molumby who creates more and who seems to work better alongside Mowatt. Swift brings a bit of composure and is capable of some decent passing movement. I'm sure Maja will get goals if he can be provided with service-something your selection would be better at than the starting line up of last night.

    Diangana has ability on the ball but remains far too lightweight and Wallace may be a great personality to have within the squad but I genuinely fail to see what he brings on the pitch these days so, yes, replacing Racic, Diangana and Wallace with Molumby, Fellows and Swift seems a much better team selection.

    I know that injuries have meant some enforced changes and that players (e.g. Fellows or Johnston) will go in/out of form at some stage but Corberan seems uncertain of his best 11 and these constant changes are leading to nervous and disjointed displays like last night. Lack of options with injuries means that the new back four virtually pick themselves and I'm sure they will settle but our biggest current issue is lack of goals and so we need our best midfield and attacking players and some consistency to get our rhythm back.

    Because Racic is very similar. Probably a bit more physical as well.

    If Wallace is a runner then Zohore is Ronaldo!

    We would be unwise to get rid of CC certainly for the time being. The guy will at least keep us in this division without the fear of relegation, but I am not sure if he can get us up. Certainly his team selections are bewildering. Even before the injuries to the CB's he had the chance to play the team that had started so well but he chose not to. Strange in my opinion. As for Diangana, he must be Brazilian-like in training to warrant his place. Against Cardiff the guy was downright awful and yet he stayed on until 80 minutes. I cannot see anything but a loss or at the very most another draw against Burnley. The optimism of the first few games has long gone I am afraid.

    You must be blind if you can’t see that Wallace runs his b*llocks off

    That’s the point - he can’t run - can’t score -can’t cross! If you feel he should start you must be one of very few! To drop Fellows for this cart horse is outrageous!
