Some rotation I think. I would expect 5 subs also assuming we are leading and can rest key players as game progresses. Mads Souttar Coady Justin Choudhury Winks Casadei KDH Fatawu Daka Mavididi

Short on wide men, if fit get him involved tomorrow.

Before or during the Little era the club had little to show for itself in the trophy cabinet. The 3 Wembley visits although twice painful reminded the fans what it was like to go there. The success in the years that followed says to me that in his tenure he literally moved the club on an upward path 180 degrees.

Good day all round. Ipswich and Leeds drawing, Forest losing and Celtic losing again as the dwarf falters. Come on lads let's grind out another win on the road v Brum.

Part of me thinks Vardy being left out because of the Rooney thing. Could see Nacho coming back to the bench in place of Ward from the last match. Expect JJ to start in place of Coady, rest the same.

Strongest team possible please to start, make the changes win winning 2nd half.

Everton are a decent side at the min. Mid table quality. They will finish above a few more yet even with the points deduction.

Dean Smith will be ironing his suit and sending those CVs off!

I'm glad the players have more nerve than some so called supporters calling for the managers head after 89 mins on here today. A draw would have been by no means a disaster at WBA but a bit of magic got us the win. For goodness sake look at the bigger picture at times.

Leeds really play basketball football don't they.

Expect a few changes but a full week off to follow so maybe not loads of change. Mads Coady Vesty Justin Ricardo Winks Ndidi KDH Fatawu Iheanacho Mavididi

We have 28 games to go. If we average 2 points a game for the rest of the season we would finish on 99 points and likely Champions promoted. After a reset from back to back defeats we have taken 4 points from 2 games. A draw here and a win at home v Plymouth keeps that going with Millwall to follow. There is no point stressing when things don't go our way like the other night. Tomorrow will be tough but I'm not going to have a meltdown if we lose as I think 92-93 points will be enough for automatic. Leeds have some tricky games coming up also. We just need to keep winning at home as a priority.

It appears the modern way, but at times baffling why you start a GK with a back pass from CB at your own GK. It is very cringy. Only a Chris Weale moment away from an OG. We appear to have been sussed quite quickly and now Maresca is going to have to come up with a plan B and plan C at times. Something we will need if promoted as if we rock up at the big guns playing like this it would be a cricket score. I hope he is not another Rodgers tactically. At least he is an honest and likeable guy unlike the used car salesman we used to employ.

People forget Faes played as the left CB last season and Vesty plays there for Denmark.

Think I prefer the on field ref just getting it wrong compared to the torture of offside decisions with VAR.

The club are partly responsible for the drab atmosphere at times. Please bin off the music or at least change it. Please bin off fan cam or at least change how it is presented. Bin off the montage ending with the Prem trophy thing. Change the guy on the tannoy. Get a new HT presenter. FFS make it different to the last 5 years somehow so not like groundhog day!

I would rest Vesty and Faes after internationals and bring in Coady and Souttar like we did v Stoke. Winks to come in and Vardy to start.

How much longer do we persevere with Nacho? For me he goes to third choice now. He obviously doesn't want to stay. Off to AFCON soon.

I think Hamza sits as the holding midfielder and Ricardo returns to inverted RB. Ndidi to return to 8 as he was pre injury.

They are playing quite well at the min. They will still better the 3 promoted sides and Bournemouth in my opinion.

A bit of individual brilliance was the difference today and sometimes you just hold your hands up. Need to work on the offensive side of our game in prep for Watford. Iheanacho I am done with. He needs to sit out a few and ponder what he wants for the future. McAteer had a shocker but he hasn't played for ages. I can forgive him that. Maybe time Justin sat it out also with Conor Coady coming in to offer some grit and determination. Faes can play left. In summary no need to panic but need to get the bit between our teeth again. I think we will be a different beast with Ndidi, Younus and Praet back in midfield.

Can't remember Dean Smith rating them either, both were non starters from April time.

Just shows what a shocking bit of business the Jan window was. Souttar and VK on 5 year deals. Neither really in the managers plans already.

Travesty he didn't get to go to WC 2016 after being a massive part of lifting the Premier title. Same with Albrighton that year who was on fire and never got 1 call. I think hindsight shows he was easily led and away from our camp lost his way.

We need a new striker to lead the line for 2024 in my opinion as Iheanacho is too unreliable and Vardy too old. Daka is not the answer and Cannon still learning his trade.
