Changes for Boro?

[baggieal]

Agree with a lot of that. Boro will be a hard game and I can see the need for a solid defensive performance but we also need to improve our own chances of scoring and starting Illing Junior instead of Wallace and Maja instead of Heggebo should do that.

Mason doesn't appear to have settled on his best midfield yet. Molumby sounded like he didn't have a bad game yesterday and I too would prefer Diakite on rather than Mowatt but don't know how much tampering Mason will be prepared do and I don't expect too many changes. As for Styles, he is listed as a midfielder rather than defender on the Albion site and he plays well in this position for his national team so you would have thought that the acquisitions of Gilchrist and Taylor may have allowed him to do so for us. Perhaps the problem is that Mason doesn't rate Taylor enough and Styles is the only other natural left back option as the rest of our defensive players have either centre back or right back experience?

Boro will be massively up for this Omeg especially still unbeaten. The first 15 mins will be crucial. We need strength in defence and Griffiths needs to be on top of his game with no mistakes. The counter attack will be crucial so he must play Junior and I would gamble and start with Maja. As Matt said - I would take a point. The longer the match goes on - I feel we could do a Derby but only if we hold firm and no mistakes.

Any thoughts anyway to the starting line up?
