Surely the priorities are CF, GK, LB and CM (Downes hopefully). Probably right back if KWP goes. It's got to be a busy summer!

I was critical of him last season (rightly so) but this season he has been incredibly impressive.

He was very good but it's horses for courses and Adams bullied their centre backs up at Elland Road. I'd like to think he could do the same again.

Team selection wise...If Adams is passed fit I'd bring him in for Brooks. Other than that same side please.

Yeah that's why I went for that bit.

Anyone else gone for block 133 safe standing?

Let's hope so because Adams had a very very good game up at Elland Road before he went off injured.

Took a whack when he came on in the first leg according to Martin. Apparently nothing to worry about but given RM's track record with telling fibs on injuries, who knows.

Madness

Anyobe know when they will be released?

Putting it out there but Downes is definitely the best CDM in the league. I'm shocked West Ham didn't give him more of a chance last season.

What a game. Thought we were superb. Need that sort of commitment in the final and we will be alright!

Judging from Martins comments I think he'll be on the bench. Give Stewart 60 mins then bring Che on.

Rowe started well but has been pretty poor since January by all accounts. Sounds like he has a big attitude problem.

Direct attacking football. I just hope we don't come out tomorrow and pass it around at the back for the first 5 minutes and dampen the crowd.

I think the general consensus from those of us that were there was that it's a decent result and a solid enough away performance. At the end of the day West Brom have a very good home record and they didn't cause us many problems apart from those first 15 minutes.

Yep and to be fair the whole team were crap in that away game at Watford.

The West Brom fans really got behind their side yesterday. I can just see it now, one dodgy pass from McCarthy in the first minute and our fans will be on the players backs. Can't be doing that in this sort of game, need to be singing and encouraging for 90 minutes. At least there's a fair few people getting to the game early to welcome the team into the stadium. Can't wait for it.

It worked against Leeds and to an extent yesterday but I really don't like Manning and Stephens playing next to each other. One can't defend and the other can't pass. Not the best combo. To be fair we played well with 4 at the back both times against West Brom in the league. Hopefully the players motivation is a bit higher now than it was towards the latter part of the season...

Agree with this apart from Stephens. Gave it away so many times and just seems to be a few seconds behind everyone else on the pitch. He needlessly dallies on the ball which puts himself in trouble. It cost us a goal against Leeds last week and almost cost us another today.

Both were poor. Bednarek was the best of the back 3 by a mile and saved us on a fair few occasions.

Not sure if you're referring to Onuachu or Mara but I've seen nothing from either player to suggest they are "clinical". Onuachu has scored goals in Turkey but they are all from crosses, something we don't tend to do, as Saint Clark said. The difference between Adams and Mara is, even if Adams isn't scoring he helps others to score. If Mara isn't scoring he doesn't do a thing.

I'd go back to 4 at the back for the home game. McCarthy, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning, Downes, Aribo, Smallbone, Fraser, AA, Adams/Stewart. Guaranteed Stephens will play though.

As has been proven every time he doesn't play. Some people just can't support the guy because he isn't a natural finisher. He's a very good championship player that has always tried his best for us. On the other hand you have guys like Mara and Sulemena who have never broken out of a jog.

Mara has played too many games for us for my liking. Absolutely terrible player. We need to move him on ASAP.
