Roy's View From... Pre-Match View From West Brom

[Sheffsteel]

Find it quite funny how their fans are predicting a great atmosphere to welcome their new manager.

I’ve watched the 1st half on Sky TV and their fans have been flat with zero atmosphere all the way through that half.
I’m hoping it’s not like the Sheff Utd v Norwich match last week.

When Norwich scored 2 early goals and we were totally flat in the 1st half.
However we turned it around and dominated Norwich….let’s hope WBA don’t copy us and pull back our 2 goal lead.

Yep, football in a library indeed. Need to remain solid, don't get to Norwich levels of shithousing and control possession when we can. Difficult though when they're obviously chasing the game. We'll definitely get chances on the break, their defence looks pretty shocking so far, especially when Ndiaye runs at them.

crowd.

It took just 11 minutes for the Blades to break down the hosts, when Tommy Doyle chipped a neat ball over the top to the right side of the penalty area, Sam Baldock squared across and, although the incoming McBurnie completely missed his kick, Ndiaye was lurking behind him. He feinted to his right before sliding a nice low right-foot finish with his instep into the bottom-right corner.

From the bbc report...so we do have defensive replacements. Welcome to Bramall Lane ...Sam

They just hired a guy who put out the cones for Bielsa (we also had JVW) and just got binned off in no time at Olympiacos. He did ‘well’ at Huddersfield in that he got them to the play offs but he pretty much lost as many as he won in 102 games; 38 wins and 36 defeats with a negative GD. Before that he had two spells managing in Cypriot football where he lost over half his games. He just won 2 from 11 in Greece.

He’s hardly Brian Clough the Second Coming.

Bit cocky for a team that, but for having played a game more than Huddersfield, would be the division’s bottom feeders.

Just need to play our own game.

Just found out he’s an ex-keeper and we have first hand experience of how they work out!

Spot on, we all know the danger of a foreign manager.
We are Sheffield, try managing on a wet winter night at BDTBL.
