Who am I to argue with SAF but I would prefer Oshea to partner Vidic in CD; move Nev to his natural RB position and get someone else in at LB.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Who else can play left back?
Giggs
Tosic? I'd rather have Park or Nani there
We'll play with whatever team Fergie decides to put out.
Would be nice to set another record and get the three points in the process
I'd have Tosic over an injured Park and injured Nani
Supposedly Tosic used to play LB quite frequently for both club and country... But then who do we play on the wing?
I'd go along with pretty much everyone else in predicting:
-------------------VdS-------------------
Fletcher---Neville---------Vidic------O'Shea
-----------Carrick--------Giggs------------
Ronaldo-------------------------------Tosic
--------------Tevez--Berba----------------
Bench: Foster, Chester, Eckersley, Gibson, Possebon, Macheda plus either Scholes or Brown (dependant on fitness)
i heard Tosic has only played LB once for club, and never for country.
50th PL start for Tevez.
Rob Styles the ref.
General consensus seems to be that Tosic will start?
Oh?
I don't think my nails can take another 1-0 win.
Both our squads are so wafer thin at the momment, lets pray that we don't get any more injuries during the game otherwise we're fecked.

A couple of 1st half goals and one early in the 2nd to put the game to bed would be nice. And no more effing injuries!

Fletcher-Neville-Vidic-O'Shea
Scholes-Carrick-Giggs
Ronaldo-Berba-Tevez
Good team that. In spite of the injuries.
WBA have a LOT of injuries themselves. I don't know whether this will lead to a more conservative approach, but Mowbray prides himself on producing teams that play open football. It is a tough place to go, but it will be one of the more open encounters we have had in a while I should think.

Although it seems he may be looking to play "tight" on this occasion...

I thought the game was tomorrow - what a result.
I will be expecting a 6-0 win, and a new league record for clean sheets.

Oh damn - Fabio in injured!
Yeah I reckon that might be it.
Am I the only one who thinks either Rio or Wes will start. Both were in full training by the looks of the photos posted up last week. Yeah Fergie said they wouldnt be fit til Everton at the earliest but he always throws swerves in these pre match press conferences
I think Rio will be saved for Everton, but Brown might make an appearance on the bench in my opinion. I doubt he'll risk throwing him straight back in after so long out. Plus to be honest a back 4 of Fletcher-Neville-Vidic-O'Shea should be good enough to beat West Brom (who have injury problems of their own)
according to the Times, 4 of WBA's CBs are injured
I think Fergie would like that as well, but at right back Neville will have to do a lot more leg work. Playing him in the middle probably allows us to use him in more matches, and at this stage it's absolutely crucial.
I also reckon we'll see Gibson starting, not sure who will be in midfield and who on the wing - him or Giggs.
How come every single poster puts Tosic in the side, or on the bench? I'm pretty sure he's not even in the squad for the game.
United (from): Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, Neville, Vidic, O'Shea, Chester, Eckersley, Ronaldo, Carrick, Fletcher, Gibson, Possebon, Scholes, Giggs, Cleverley, Berbatov, Tevez, Macheda, Brandy, Petrucci.
The squad above is taken from TeamTalk.
VDS
Fletcher - Neville - Vidic - O'Shea
Ronaldo - Scholes - Carrick - Giggs
Tevez - Berbatov
Foster, Chester, Eckersley, Gibson, Possebon, Petrucci, Marcheda
Knowing Fergie, this won't be the team fielded tonight. I can see one of Gibson or Possebon starting for either Scholes or Giggs.
On a side note, I'd be fantastic to see Petrucci or Marcheda given a chance if we are comfortably leading. Been watching the pair every chance I get on MUTV and they both look extremely talented. Petrucci in particular is so classy for such a young age.

Is the match on Sky Sports or Setanta?
that is a proper young squad that we are taking
Tosic
Fletcher - Neville - Vidic - Tosic
Ronaldo - Tosic - Carrick - Giggs
Tosic - Berbatov
I heard from a reliable source that Tosic is fast so he can cover a few positions.
he's clearly a nose ahead of most of the available players on the roster.

I don't know why I keep putting 'r' into Macheda's name.
Teamtalk talk absolute shite. Cleverly is away on loan.....
Chester Macheda, Brandy, Petrucci played yesterday. Chester did well from what I saw (sadly only first half)
So I'm sure tosic will be on the bench but we'll see

Is the team that everyone wants, looks our strongest and away from Home in the Prem you can't feck about. Only problem might be Scholes playing again and Giggsy on the wing. Meaning he might favour Gibson or Tosic at some point.

Agree with that line up,seem's the most logical choice to me considering we are away and there are 3 points at stake.Play players who have experience and then bring on the younger or newer players at later times.West brom maybe hit with injuries too and look quite weak but never the less will be up for it and ready to put the boot in.
I hope United do not underestimate West brom, they are fighting relegation.
Anyways anyone know if it will be televised in the UK or not?

Let's hope that's right. I could see him start tonight then, in order to give Giggs a rest for the Everton game.
It's weird though how such a 'high-profile' footballing site would just make up our squad. You'd think that would be the sort of information you'd have no problems getting.
Hopefully giggs and scholes have enough in them and we control the game early,might be a slight risk and it is a shame we are so hit with injuries and have no other cover at right back say a hargreaves allowing fletcher to join in his best position with scholes and carrick.

Rio and Wes trained yesterday.

Is Hargreaves back?
No not for a good while I think.
Is Berg playing?
