I think you’re right. He has had a couple of spells out due to COVID. He was also missing from the squad for what must have been at least 6 weeks recently (when he most probably would have got game time) due to a problem with his knee. (I think Better Days mentioned this).

We were sat in the stand next to the away end and it sounded loud to me. The Albion fans were almost disinterested until they got the pen. Never been in the Hawthorns when it has been so quiet. On a side note, I was impressed with the stand we were in (the one opposite the players tunnel)...

Same as us!

I think the first two seasons were about staying up, although there were some memorable games and performances in there.The third season we were great and winning plenty of matches, particularly away from home. It was really season four and five that did for him. Crowds dropped dramatically, we...

I think you’re right. There was a much more level playing field during the time that Hill, Cantwell and Milne were in charge. The retained system of players meant that the club was very much in control of their playing staff. It would be hard to see a player of Tommy Hutchison’s quality staying...

He inherited a team that was made up of good third division players, Clarke, Wilson, Fleck, Baker, Christie, Moussa, Willis and Murphy. When a lot of these were forced out of the club due to Sisu cost cutting, the replacements Pressley brought in were abysmal. The football was dire too. The side...

The football the team has produced this season has been better than in most of our 34 top flight seasons. The quality of the games too has been better than in most of those seasons. You cannot take anything away from JH. He totally transformed the club, not just the team, but he was working...

I like Allen and think he is very underrated. He does work hard but I think his contribution is a lot more than simply running about a lot.He rarely makes mistakes and despite his lack of goals is certainly someone who works box to box. He is an example of how getting your head down, not moaning...

I said to my son the other day that in terms of the quality of football that we have played and also because there have been so many good games, this has been one of the standout seasons for me (and I have seen a lot of our seasons!).

I have enjoyed everyone of those seasons. Even last season, every game seemed to be a battle to keep our heads above the water line. This led to seem real edge of the seat encounters. This season we have played some glorious football and haven’t really got the rewards the standard of our...

The coldest I have ever been!

Don’t think he did. It may not have been a pen but the defender tapped Godden’s ankles when he’s clean through on goal. Accidentally or not, he brought him down when clear on goal. Free kick and red card I think.

Can you honestly say something is poor if you don’t watch or listen to it?

That’s like watching us against Hull having missed the game against Sheffield Utd and then saying the performance against Blades must have been crap because the one against Hull was.

Bit like Nick from Birmingham on the phone in. Never sees a game but comments on them all the same. I think the man is a genius! (That’s Gruff not Nick).

That’s a really hash comment. Jones didn’t just score that hat trick and then disappear. Until his injury he was our best player that season. His performances were good enough to attract the attention of Leeds and it sounds like had he not been injured then he would have been a Championship...

It was often pointed out about Jimmy Greaves that he could be anonymous for 89 minutes and then produce a bit of magic to score a goal. Seems as if JG was playing for us these days he wouldn’t be appreciated by some on here. I am not, by the way, saying that Godden is in anyway as good as...

For the penalty, I felt their player jumped into Sheaf. I felt the contact was made by him rather than the other way around. The ref did make a few mistakes. Dabo took the ball out for a corner but he gave a goal kick And O’Hare had a decision for handball given against him on the edge of the...

They could waste as much time as they want so long as the time is added on at the end. The fact that referees don’t do this is a reward for the cheating that goes on. The little guy doing the Mickey take jog to the corner, the three Hull players who didn’t move for the ball when Mattson gave...

I think the interviews with Robins are good. He is articulate and honest and the way that he talks about the game is the way that most people seem to see it.
