‘Difficult choice for Slav’ – West Brom Super Fans consider starting XI v Millwall
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Brom Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around The Hawthorns.
–––––––––––––––––
West Brom travel to London on Sunday to take on Millwall at The Den as they aim to build on the win against Luton last week.
Albion earned their first Championship win of 2020 when they beat the Hatters 2-0 at The Hawthorns last Saturday to return to the top of the table.
Slaven Bilic will no doubt be hoping that his side can now build on that by stringing together two wins for the first time since a six-game winning streak ended with a draw against Wigan on December 11.
Bilic is boosted by the return of Matheus Pereira this weekend now that the Brazilian has served a three-match ban for elbowing Stoke’s Joe Allen.
However, including Pereira back in the side is not the only change that our panel of Super Fans are suggesting that Bilic should make this weekend for the trip to Millwall:

Dylan Ashmore (@WBADyl)
Hayden Belgrave (@belgrave_hayden)
Jamie Rossiter (@Jay89R)
Lee Armstrong (@UncleSock)
Luke Pollard (@LukeyP_wba)
The general consensus is that even though Filip Krovinovic has played well in the number 10 role, Pereira simply has to come straight back into the side due to how well he’s played this season for West Brom.
However there are a few interesting changes that have been suggested with a couple of our Super Fans claiming that Romaine Sawyers should be dropped from his central midfield role and replaced by in-form Krovinovic.
That would be a bold shout by Bilic, especially as Sawyers has started all but two of the Baggies’ Championship fixtures this season.
Kamil Grosicki could make his debut for Albion too, which is what some of our Super Fans are hoping for while the striker debate continues over Hal Robson-Kanu and Charlie Austin.
Notice how no one is suggesting that Kenneth Zohore should start against Millwall.
