Taylor knee problem hands Kadar chance at WBA
CHRIS Hughton has kept changes to a minimum fielding a strong line-up in today's FA Cup 4th Round tie against WBA.[LNB] But Steven Taylor's knee problem forces a change in the back-four with youngster Tamas Kadar handed a chance to stake a claim.[LNB] Tim Krul continues his run of FA Cup starts after appearing in both 3rd Round encounters against Plymouth. Andy Carroll is the only out-and-out striker in the starting eleven but leading scorer Kevin Nolan will be expected to offer stong support in an attacking role.[LNB] Kadar wins a start in central defence alongside Fabricio Coloccini. With concerns that insprational centre-half Taylor could be ruled out for the rest of the season with knee problems, Hughton will challenge the likes of Kadar to step into the breach.[LNB] Garaham Dorrans, the Baggies driving force in midfield, starts for the home side but, as expected, Ishmael Miller drops to the bench.[LNB] West Brom (4-4-2):Carson;Jara,Olsson,Cech,G Thomas;J Thomas,Koren,Dorrans,Mulumbu;Brunt,Bendar.[LNB] Subs: Kiely,Martis,Cox,Miller,Teixeira,Mattock,Zuiverloon.[LNB] Newcastle (4-4-2): Krul;R Taylor,Coloccini,Kadar,Enrique;Pancrate,Smith, Guthrie,Gutierrez;Nolan,Carroll[LNB] Subs: Harper;LuaLua,Donaldson,Tozer,Ranger,Ameobi,Ferguson,[LNB]
