I hope Forson is a VERY long way forward.

Is that Fisher at left-back this time?

Hopefully Sorenson in his specialist position of LB and Fisher in defensive midfield.

Where's Cordoba? Was he expected to be missing? Not even on the bench.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,704]

Another comfortable beating today.. How long until Nunez is back, and what’s up with cordoba?

Don't see who the third CB is in a 3-5-2.

Assume Conrad is right:

No. Doyle and Duffy as centre backs, Fisher and Stacey at full back.

To be fair, that sorts out the Doyle at LB problem. Fair play to Thorup on seeing that, but still baffled why Chrisene didn't get that gig.

That's a really big concern. Can only think he picked up an injury in training.

Edit: official site says he is in fact injured.

Radio Norfolk has it as Sorenson at centre back and fisher in midfield…..

[pete 375]

More of a 451 methinks

if it's a back three of Duffy, Lungi and Doyle then the first phrase that does not spring to mind is "sprint speed".

[dylanisabaddog 6,197]

Is anyone else a little bit afraid? 

I have a nasty feeling that this may not end well

I'm not saying I'm nervous but I've just found my brown grundies.

It’s a dead cert today, I’m afraid. Need Nunez and Sarge back.

[crab man 180]

If thats Sorensen at cb then we've no hope. Hanley should be there instead if we're going 3 at the back. 

Onel should also be starting up top. Gonna be a long afternoon me thinks. 

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,737]

This could be any system.

3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-3-3 or even 4-4-2.

Whatever it is, it's all a bit of a hotchpotch, and I'd take a point.

[Bobzilla 210]

Official team sheet suggests Doyle at left and Stacey at right centre.  Surely not?  That's insane...

[ron obvious 1,732]

Preview show says Fisher LB & Jacob in MF. Forson playing on right.

Can’t see our bad run ending today. But here’s hoping

We might be number 3 rather than number 2?

[Capt. Pants 5,152]

Had a feeling Stacey might start today.

No need for pant wetting just yet....

Stop the rot with a point at WBA and get back to winning ways in the subsequent home games and I will be very happy. OTBC

or even a narrow defeat. Think I'd take a 0-1 with us looking reasonably solid today, given that line-up.

Not for the faint-hearted. Much respect to the City fans who've made the journey in horrible weather today. Hope the team gives them something to cheer. OTBC

[city4eva 261]

3 nil.

West Brom don't score at home. A point wouldn't be terrible in the circumstances assuming we beat Plymouth at home on Tuesday.
