    Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 21st Feb

    I remember my Dad making me watch all 7 in a 7-1 thrashing at West Brom. I wanted to go after their 5th went in. Even he said let's go on 7. Willie Johnston popped in another perfectly good goal which was disallowed. So I've seen a 7-1 loss and a 7-1 win ( this season)

    Wait until we play Liverpool or Arsenal next season. It will be like a tui advert

    Boro

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    Very Lloyd McGrath, and that's a compliment by the way. Players who break up play are unusual these days but essential if you want to succeed . I like him a lot.

    Bit worried about Yamal and Lewendowski but other than that I think we'll be fine .

    I see exactly where your coming from . Positional play and all around awareness pretty good, but definitely a little slow in the tackle.

    Had chance to watch young Dave Mantle yesterday. He did okay and to leave with an away point against the league leaders is not a bad result. They have trusted him to hold the back line and TBF to him he seemed to cope quite well for a kid. Do I see him in the championship any time soon ? The...

    Will be interesting that's for sure. I just don't think they'll risk losing but hopefully for us they attack . Suits us if they do

    They'll come for and settle for a draw . Like they did in the playoffs a couple of seasons back. They passed back to the keeper from a free kick in our half. TBF that was with Carrick. The new bloke might be different but a draw suits them.

    Jacob Murphy scored some good goals for us but an absolute cracker away at Walsall

    Favourite ever goal…

    Huckerby v Man U and watching Ferguson chomping furiously on his chewing gum walking towards the tunnel at the end. Carlos Alberto, Brazil v Italy 70 World Cup final. perfect build up and perfect finish .

    Doesn't it drive you mad when the keeper goes down with a time wasting injury? It happens every week in the lower leagues. If players of both teams were forbidden to go for a team chat at the dugouts, I think it would irradiate it.

    I do recollect a similar Dublin incident. The Murphy/ Burns one was back in the 70s. A very hard fought local derby against Blues.

    This Will Make You Laugh...

    Funny that because I saw Maguire Drew play for Woking down here and he was the best player on the pitch. Must of found his level. Think he's at East Grinstead now

    Remember Donall Murphy kneeing Kenny Burns in the nuts then turning round and heading for the tunnel before the ref had sent him off.
