He picked the same team for Sunderland when we had won at Bournemouth, different games require different systems and players. Personally I think we'll get absolutely thumped if we start with Tomkins, Sakho, PVA and Ward in a 4 at the back. I'd definitely get Dann in there to deal with West Brom's set-piece threat. Might have the same set-up but with Tomkins at RB in place of Ward just to have a little more height to deal with them.

Before Saturday I'd of definitely said yes but Tomkins had a great performance.

Him and Sakho looked so assured on the ball and I don't recall seeing too many pointless diagonals from the back.

Only trouble is Dann is much more likely to score and Tomkins will miss sitters but I think our Captain is going to have to fight to get his place back.

Still, nice to have options again!

i think dann and tomkins is what we should be looking at. sakho is good but i doubt we'll sign him permanently if the fee being talked about is for real

I don't understand why that would matter. Be brought Sakho to Palace to play, we've already paid a lot for him. Regardless of whether we are going to sign him, if he is the best player available (and I believe he is that) then you play him!

Otherwise we certainly won't be signing him, as we'll be in the Championship.
