Therefore anything from this is a bonus despite the seemingly precarious current…

  No trams running in West Midlands at present- service suspended in November due to safety concerns.

  Will Rafael play? I think Southwood deserves to keep his place but will Paunovic agree?

  Southwood Tetek Dann Holmes Baba Rahmen Laurent Drinkwater Dele Bashiru Azeez Carroll Halilovic I am only dropping Swift because I think he needs a break, his form has dipped in recent games and lets be honest, he has earnt a break.

  think Swift will be keen to play, and with the midweek off and the international break he shouldn't be too overloaded Prob same team as saturday, Tetek for Yiadom if required. Be nice to see Hoilett back on the bench, not sure we'll get anyone else back yet Be a tough one, and prob lose it tbh. Mind you if it meant WBA getting 3 points closer to Bournemouth it'd at least be a bit of a silver lining

  Will Rafael play? I think Southwood deserves to keep his place but will Paunovic agree? Dropping a young keeper after one, maybe two mistake(s) after previously sticking by a senior one who made lots of errors would be awful management. Dropping Southwood shouldn't even be a topic of conversation.

  Obviously want Reading to win every game but if we lost I do echo the sentiments that at least it means West Brom keep pace with Bournemouth who for me are possibly the most unlikeable team in the Championship right now.
