Hull unbeaten in last five games so hopefully they can get a point at Sheff Utd
I actually fancy WBA to go up via play offs

They were in poor form earlier in the season and were hovering just above the relegation zone, yet still battered us for 98 minutes at The Hawthorns. Now they're most definitely in form, occupying a play off place and I expect the toughest examination we've had so far, barring Sheff U away. In our position I'd take the point right now. I fear them!

Yes he’s gone with Brownhill further forward for the pressing I imagine due to JBG being out.
Good chance for Bastien.

He's the one summer signing who up to now (IMO) has always looked like he's not quite up to it. Hope he shows I'm wrong tonight.

JBG must have a knock cos think he'd have definitely started instead of Bastien if fit. I was looking forward to seeing how Brownhill and Cullen got on playing the deeper roles together from the start but think Bastien will play deeper than Brownhill.
Thought Barnes might get a start tonight but I really hope we get a striker cos no disrespect to Barnes and Jay who have been brilliant for the club its one of the few or maybe only area in our team we can easily improve on

Did you watch that game through your one bad eye?
WBA were good going forward that night until it came to the box, but we had more clear cut chances that night than any other game this season.

Evening All.
Expecting one of our toughest matches of the season.
They're on a roll & in better nick than earlier on.
And we've a harder skin now.
We'll nick the winner 9 minutes into 8 added minutes.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

Think Bastien will be ok further forward in midfield, leaving Josh Brownhill in a more defensive role

Good to see Bastien back, he was starting to show a few good glimpses before he found himself out of the side.
Benson can count himself unlucky but I like the look of that start up.
COYC!

WBA were good going forward that night until it came to the box, but we had more clear cut chances that night than any other game this season.
We definitely had several more than presentable chances to kill the game late on when they were chasing it and we spurned them and ultimately paid the price, but we have to be honest and say they dominated the game and absolutely nobody with a fair mind begrudged the 98th minute equaliser, despite it being a total sickener.

I'd associate the term getting battered with one of our Man City defeats of recent years. No way did WBA batter us earlier this season

I thought the first game against Huddersfield when we played that kind of 4 central midfield formation with Cork and Cullen deep and Brownhill and Bastien in front he looked excellent. Since changing to having the wide men dominating our play he's always come up a bit short for me. Hopefully he can shine tonight

I don’t think anybody gets dropped from our side. It is constant rotation to keep them fresh for a long season and keep them sharp also. It has worked so far. Benson & JRod will come on after an hour.
COYC. We really need to turn up tonight from the gun.

Do we not think it will be Brownhill further forward and Bastien in the Cork role?
Will be interesting to see which way round.

A long way from our best eleven but hopefully good enough to keep the run going. Would not be upset with a draw. UTC

If you're abroad then you'll be able to sign up for the monthly pass at £25. When you get back then use a VPN to watch the remaining games

Really looking forward to this. I’ve been wanting a good look at Bastien, I may be wrong but I’ve a sneaky feeling he may be one who’s better suited to the PL than some of our other players who have been outstanding at this level

1 each was a fair result at their place. We were nowhere near battered even being far from our best (as was the case for the other away game after a quick turnaround at Sheff U).

Great that we've got Benson to come on if needed and run against tiring defenders and do his "cut inside" to fire in at the far post.
