I think it will be very important to give our strikers more support for this game because Fuller is out (our only player able to make something on his own). Because of this I'd put both Soares and Tongue in our starting line up. Should Simmo been given a new chance as well? Sørensen certainly didn't have his best game against ManU. My team would be: Simmo Higgy Shawcross Ab. Faye Griff Tongue Delap(defensive midfielder) Olly(attacking midfielder) Soares Mama Kits

Without Fuller we will struggle to score against WBA with yesterdays midfield.
Diao and Rory in the middle, Tonge and Soares HAVE to play to try and create things for Mama and Kits. And god do we miss Liam at the moment. Defence picks itself at the mo, I would stick by Sorro aswell.

Sorensen Higginbotham Shawcross Faye Griffin Soares Faye Diao Delap Sidibe Kitson Whelan to replace one of the middle two for me, faye probably. While lawrence is out he seems to be the only one who can score or give a decent delivery from a free kick.

Also whelan is more likely to provide the kind of pass Kitson would like. Thats assuming he goes with Kitson to replace Fuller as opposed to Cresser.

Sorensen Higginbotham Shawcross Faye Griffin Soares Faye Diao Delap Sidibe Kitson I don't like the midfield pairing of Faye and Diao, yes it worked against Arsenal, but that seems to have been a one off, they're to similar, both players who break play up, I'd go back to Olofinjana/Diao and urge Olofinjana to get further up the field. -------------------------Sorensen------------------------ Griff---------Shawcross-------Faye-------Higginbotham Soares-----------Diao------Olofinjana--------------Delap ------------------------Mama------------------------------- --------------------------------Kitson-----------------------

It certainly wasn't any coincidence that we saw the best performance from Kitson in a Stoke shirt so far (Tuesday) when he had a midfield behind him that could 'play' a bit.
His potential is never going to be realised if the only service we can offer him consists of aimless punts up the field.
Kitson surely will start on Saturday but without Whelan partnering Diao in the centre and possibly Soares on the wing then I can't really see us causing Brazil too many problems in front of goal.
cheers Paul

I can't wait for Liam to get back, think we do miss him a bit despite our run of results prior to yesterday, but for Brom:
Sorenson Griff Faye Shawcross Higg Delap Soares Diao Olofinjana Mama Kitson
When Lawrence is back I would have a midfield four of: Lawrence - Delap - Diao - Soares.
