    Who is good enough next season?

    If you assume those rumoured to be leaving do I think we need a proper first choice 9 as priority. Simms as squad depth. Next priority is a left back to ensure we don’t rely on Dasilva. I’d then try for two midfielders. One akin to O’Hare and one more like Kelly. If there’s anything left some...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Simms has got some good goals and looked better recently. But it’s beyond argument that he needs a lot of work still. His first touch is absolutely terrible as is his link play. People rightly say he’s better with the ball in front of him - correct. But as a 9 he has to be able to hold it up. Up...

    Can someone fucking explain to me...

    I quite like the insights and hope they carry on. If you’re West Brom or any other team you’ve decided on your team days before matchday. Knowing the team early makes absolutely zero difference. And let’s be honest it’s only a choice between two formations.

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    To qualify there is no one who has done more for us than Robins and as far as I’m concerned he has a job for life. But I think he’s been guilty of overthinking selection in this congested period. We’ve surely established the following by now. 1) Kitching and Thomas are our best centre halves...

    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar

    Have none of the coaching staff realised the Simms can’t receive the ball in to his feet. We’d be better off with Palmer in that role, receiving it and playing off him. We seem to be finding formations that we don’t have players for. Forcing it.

    Transfer Rumour Summer 2024

    Summer 24 will possibly see Kelly, Godden Allen leave. I don’t think we need a keeper. If you secure Binks you have 4 CH’s. I’d like us to sign a lb if Bidwell goes. Two mf using Kelly and Allen wages. Then just a cf to replace Godden as we already have emc in addition to what we’ve got. If...

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    I’d have to go for Hutchinson. Especially in our current system. Gillespie was a Rolls-Royce - even second time around.

    Couldn’t give a shit how involved he is if he keeps getting hat-tricks

    Robins Squad comments

    It’s brilliant Robins is disappointed - he’s passionate to do the best for the club. I also like the fact that King said no - he has the hand on the financial tiller. To be fair to him we’ve seen more investment under King. Obviously he’s had funds to spend but previous owners may have diverted...

    Nice and professional win. All you could ask for faced with a game like that. Appreciate who the opposition were but Kitching & Thomas has to be our centre back pairing. Credit to Kelly after so long out.

    Robins has to own that one

    He’s played better. But that’s because he’s been operating in the opposition half.

    Robins has to own that one

    We don’t really know what injuries players who are seemingly available are carrying. That aside many on here have been calling for Binks to play for a while. Now he’s dross. Wilson v Collins - to be honest there isn’t a fag paper between them so it doesn’t matter who starts. Dasilva - it’s...

    Poor night. But let’s get some perspective. It’s not season over or the end of the world as we know it. We’re running out of midfielders and have had lots of games.

    Assume he was planning to play him in the next game in 2 days time!

    Had no option but to play Lati. Dasilva can’t defend. Games catching up with us.
