Don't think we can mess about with the side too much for such a tough game. We're already probably without Lolley, which is a loss. Yacob needs introducing to the 1st team from the bench.
Pullis will have seen our game on Wednesday and want to test out Pants's confidence no doubt. I'd honestly drop him for Steel whilst he recovers some form. That'd be the only change I'd make, except maybe Dawson in for Heff? Heff had a poor game on Wednesday but IMO all the back 4 were affected hugely by Pants's lack of confidence and inability to distribute the ball in a timely and efficient manner. Dawson might add some experience but Britt's gonna be a handful. Who knows - I don't!

Britts going to be out for revenge, we need our strongest team.
RE: Claudio Yacob - Paplane - 05-10-2018
Contradicting what I just put above, I wonder if this is a game for Murphy over Grabban maybe?
He could offer a bit more of a physical presence and hold the ball up for some light relief from the pressure we're likely to be under.
RE: Claudio Yacob - HykehamRed - 05-10-2018
I think, in hindsight, that the Millwall game was a game for Murphy.
Agree though, wouldn’t mind seeing Murphy start

Agreed Pap but I think bringing Yacob in for Geddy is not going to weaken our team, I think he will make it stronger.

This lad is looking like the real deal.

Absolutely. Can't believe WBA let him go at the end of the season - he was well-liked by their fans aswell. Anyone know the reasons behind this?
RE: Claudio Yacob - the jock - 28-11-2018
he has always been a good player. himself and colback are the best CM pairing we have had in a very long time.
RE: Claudio Yacob - Paplane - 28-11-2018
He really is quality. I just cannot understand why he was held back for so long before he made his debut. He's slotted into the side like a slotted slot in a slotted thing. He looks calm, is aware of what's around him before he gets the ball, makes simple but incisive passes with confidence. One of the best midfielders I can remember playing for us in a long time.
RE: Claudio Yacob - HykehamRed - 28-11-2018
I’ve said before I think the reason why Yacob was held back was to give him his own pre season. Karanka knows he’s the sort who needs to play every week. He needs to be properly fit and ready.

Any news on Tachtsidis? I wonder if he is still working through a pre-season, or is he injured, or just not fancied?

It's in the Olympiakos signings thread on page 2 of this forum.
Back to Yacob, what a steal he was.
