Clearly Wallace can?t start so must start Junior! Got to start Maja because Heggebo not a goal scorer and the few chances we get - you would want Maja on the end of it. Take him off if he?s tiring.
Don?t like Mowatt and Molumby together so perhaps Diakite starting.
Don?t like Styles in a defensive position so perhaps Alfie needs an opportunity!

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?
Sadly can?t see any changes for this important game or the Leicester one, it?s probably going to take a while for the penny to drop, In time Gilchrist, Taylor have to play, it gives a balance to the side, Junior is very left footed so needs to play on the left to get the most out of him, that?s not rocket science, maybe move Johnston to the right otherwise we?re stuck with Wallace,
Still too many square pegs in round holes, I hope Mason doesn?t turn out to be another Corberan
Eustace outsmarted Mason again and you would have thought he would have learnt from the cup game. Derby set up the same and playing Wallace and Molumby and Mowatt - are not the players to unlock a team who parks the bus.
Take Boro - we will have a few counters and it?s not rocket science you need pacy wingers and someone better in the middle and a striker who needs one chance, If he starts Wallace and makes no tactical changes you can guarantee many won?t be happy at the game. I will be there so we will see.
I like the look of Collyer and he?s hugely rated at Man Utd and so was Gilchrist at Chelsea.
If we sit back on Friday I can see an heavy defeat.
