Pre-Match View From West Brom

[bromtom]

This is a game I can get on board with; I'll offer, Fleckenstein, Big G and DC.

JOCZilla, EganChips, Big Dean

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Indeed.
Switching to Friday has stopped 3 of us coming to this and 3 Baggies supporting in-laws too. Also means 6 less meals and *cough* 6 less pints being purchased from local businesses

Given you a like for the judiciously placed (and self-incriminating) cough. I do like a judicious self-incriminating cough, especially when it comes to *cough* “the ale”

 

[blade too long]

Sounds good. Looking at that seems its a lot like Bristol city game at Christmas last yr. both aiming for promotion 2 good teams & should be a good competitive game

One thing that is guaranteed is no clean sheet from ourselves. I can’t believe we only have 1 all season. We simply have to defend better

Was this from a utd fan or west brom fan

west broms only clean sheet so far was in a 2-0 home win over millwall
SO 1 IN 21

blades clean sheets
v bolton away 3-0
v birmingham h 0-0
v hull 1-0
v blackburn 2-0
v grunters 0-0
v Reading 2-0

CLEAN SHEET EVERY 3.5 GAMES

I expected more confidence from them, great read Thanks Roy.

The oinkers hadn't had one all season

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

What's betting CW opts to play the 2nd half first again - got to win the toss, defend the Spion Kop; hang on for dear life for 45 minutes, then get Duffy on.............

Cheers Panchero!

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy

 

[Kenilworth]

No inherently stupid comments on any of those posts either bar the one who can’t count to one.

So, not this one, then?

"Have to play with both Gayle and Rodriguez up Gayle up top"

Explains why Gayle hasn't been that comfortable in front of goal recently, I suppose.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

“They’re a decent side. But push their defenders forward leaving gaps at the back to exploit.”

Admit it Roy. You cut and paste this into your last dozen reports.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

A win would take us 3rd and 2 points above sheff Utd. A draw would also take us 3rd . A defeat and if results go against us Saturday we could drop out top 6…”

I see a draw gives WBA 3 points just like Wendy.

Wendy get 3 points for a good attendance.

Well 3 of them games wasnt hard because Birmingham & Wednesday had no intention trying to attack. Then reading were just dire couldve been there all night & not scored & come on you cant be saying that you have confidence in our defence to keep a clean sheet. In top 7 only tomorrow's opponents have conceded more

We always look liable to let 1 in

 

[Pinchy]

Thanks Roy.

Their fans sound a bit like us mostly.

Really?

Only in B71...

You don’t need facts to denigrate the club you claim to support. In fact, they just get in the way and are best avoided, distorted or simply fabricated.

Don't other teams have to play those 3 teams . Stop putting us down . No matter who you play you have to defend . Birmingham created quite a few chances. Think your thinking of their performance last season

Maybe with birmingham but i thought it was a similar but might be wrong. & im not putting them down. Thats a honest assessment from what ive seen, if we are 1-0 up with 20 mins to go you think we will hold out tonight then.

Because i wouldn't have confidence, we always need 2 goals look at stoke with their only chance of night & nick a goal. Just had to hold out for 5 mins v Rotherham conceded. Villa were useless & even they scored against us

we keep a clean sheet every 3and a half games
we have among the top 4 clean sheets in the division
yes weve conceded a couple of late goals,m,,, again who hasnt
teams that played norwich lately have all let in late goals


our fans see one mistake and think we will repeat it every game ,, but we kept a clean sheet the next game
every game is different
we could do to west brom what we did to that other midlands club villa ,,, think that way instead

 

[diode_blade]

Ta Roy, pretty decent and fairly balanced, first view from i've seen that is deludamol free.....S6 will go into full nuclear meltdown that baggies fans obviously don't recognise them as a massive club.

You should see the shitstorm at work as they had to move their christmas party to last night.

Lot of people "working from home" today..................

 

[Topplayersleave]

No wonder they don't get 3 points very often

Optimism is to be applauded because im just realistic sometimes. That can be percived as negative. But still have dodged my 2 questions have confidence in our defence to keep a clean sheet

& if we are 1-0 up with 20 mins to go you think we will hold out tonight

 

[Rob86]

I expect both teams to score. Can you imagine if we had their squad and suggested a point was a good result anywhere in the Championship. The meltdowns would be exceptional

 

[Bill Johnson]

"Looking at the Blades results they don't appear to have done so well against the sides at the top."

That right there. Has to change.

And another ones gone and another ones gone. Another one bites the dust.
