What would you do?
Tony Mowbray spoke about making changes for this Sunday.
Could that mean Marek Cech coming up against Shaun Wright-Phillips, Carl Hoefkens for Gianni Zuiverloon or maybe even Leon Barnett for one of the two centre-halves?
In midfield - Filipe Teixeira in perhaps? And what about up front? Will he stick with Luke Moore on his own, bring Roman Bednar in as a partner or possibly call upon Craig Beattie?
Is a change in personnel enough? Does the style of play need changing? Does the formation need tinkering with? Is this collection of players suited to any other sort of football?
One thing's for sure, something has to change.
It was a desperate draw at Manchester City which kick-started Albion's Great Escape four years ago when they drew 1-1 without a shot on goal. The return game, less than a month later, was also Albion's first victory under Bryan Robson.
Some of that kind of form would be appreciated.

I would make changes but i think Mowbray will stick with the majority of players:
I'd like us to start with:
Carson
Zuiverloon Meite Barnett Cech
Koren Valero Greening
Morrison Teixeira,
Bednar
CARSON
ZUIVERLOON MEITE OLSSON ROBINSON
KOREN VALERO GREENING
MORRISON TEIXEIRA
MOORE
What would you do? PRAY!!
Jokes asdie. Sunday is a MUST WIN!
Carson
Zuiverloon Meite Olsson Robinson
Morrison Koren Valero Teixeira/Brunt
Greening
Moore
Chris..quick question mate regarding Marek Cech. Will he ever play in his preferred position?
Yet another must win eh? I think we should play Cech in his second best role, one has played in for Porto in the Champions League and for his country - holding midfielder. Bednar is a much better option up on his own than Moore too. I'd go
Carson
Zuvi Meite Olsson Robbo
Cech
Morrison Valero Greening
Teixiera
Bednar
I'd be inclined to make changes, the last couple of games have shown decreasing self-belief :-
Carson,
Hoefkens, Meite, Barnett (if actually fit), Robinson -
Koren, Cech, Valero, Brunt -
Bednar, Moore.
Zuiverloon seems to have become a headless chicken, so try Hoefkens (though neither a great defender), I'm not sure which defensive pairing is the least-worst, so try those 2, can the nidfield exist without Greening going round in ever-decreasing circles? (we did ok without him when suspended/injured?), and I'd prefer Brunt to Morrison (no point in playing both).
Do we need to change the players, or do we need to change the manager?
Last year the football was great, win or loose it was always a good game. This year the football is boring and totally ineffective. Where is the flare? Why are we playing a defensive game, one that we cannot win, when we have always been an attacking team? Or has Mowbray sold all of the best strikers for no good reason ?!!
It will soon be too late if tables are not turned quickly. Lets see a win !!
Get Leon Barnett in as a holding midfielder.
He's strong, good in the air (well, better than
anyone we have in midfield), tackles well & has
great desire. He's also played there before when
he was a young lad at Luton. I'd give him a go.
At least he'd be able to compete aerially with
the likes of Gera & Cahill. He'd also be another
goal threat for us when we have corners! He'd do
the donkey work to free up Texeira who i'd also
play on sunday!
