Don't lose!

Do think we're the better team at the moment though.

Draw would be fine.

And I don't think that WBA do have easier fixtures. Derby are on a great run of form and then they play Cardiff away, who will be scrapping for their lives.

I think that's a very tough run of fixtures for them. Us, Derby and Cardiff.

Draw keeps in our hands. They need to win it more which might suit us. Arses are going to be flapping in home and away ends that's for sure.

Win this and we are in a good place with WBA pretty much done for, leaving us to scrap with Millwall and Bristol City for two places

I am certainly going to need your positivity through until Friday mate!!
Yes, we are!
Better side away - we were at our peak of conceding 100% shots to goals I think.
Home last year was Thomas Asante offside finish in a million - plus a letter of apology from the FA about the ref.
Away last year, Mikey Johnston tore MVE a new one.
(Think Dasilva had a shocker in both away games too!??)

Oh i'm not particularly positive I think a lot is conspiring against us right now and as you've just stated above, we have no luck against these fuckers.
I just know what i've said all season, it's not a strong Championship and that includes West Brom. We've made up a hell of a points gap on them and there's a reason for that.
Would love to beat them, i remember reading a lot of their fans saying we were shit at their place... really wasn't true though was it, we were pretty good and the outcome flattered them massively.

We played really well yesterday so more of that and we should win this one.
I’d take a draw too but Boro have Plymouth so they’ll likely be back in the mix again should we draw

Yes! This is what I've had for years!!!
We played them at theirs in pre season before L2 season I think. Lost 5-2
I took abuse from the in-laws... They did not understand that in Janes Morrison, who was on 60k pw, they had a player whose weekly salary would cover our whole squad at the time!

If we win this, I think it will equal my "Torp" feeling!

They have Derby, Cardiff and Luton to play as well as us.

All teams who desperately need 3 points, sorry to say it but they have no chance of not dropping points. Starting with us when we beat them on Friday!

They've been better than us for the best part of 20 years, although for the first 16 years of my life (up until our relegation) i never heard them mentioned outside of Midland News.
It's easy to have bragging rights over a club struggling as badly as ours has for some time but the tables are turning in your family fued, regardless of what happens here, our club is in a better place atm. We're even getting bigger gates than them which was unthinkable not that long ago.

We are due some luck & ultimately a good referee .
Things are still moving forward under Lampard & last night was a clear indication, that there is a gulf between the championship clubs , as some of our play was superb.
Our crowd , I believe will play a massive part in our success on Friday with a full house & possibly a new attendance record at the CBS shows our ascendency .

The crowd will be a huge influence on this game one way or another. But it all starts on the pitch. Start with purpose and dont concede early.

Can’t see past a loss here and a head loss on here. We never do well against WBA.

I feel quite negative about this , partly because my experience against West brom has been overwhelmingly negative and I remember a Mowbray west brom slapping us for 5 in the cup one year here

That was a tough watch think we were managerless for that one. I'm sure they'd snap your arm off to have the likes of Brunt and Gera back in their team though.

Such a huge opportunity on Friday. We shouldn't underestimate how important home advantage is. I'd have very little confidence if this was at the Hawthorns but they will not be relishing coming to us especially as there is more pressure on them given the 3 point gap. Our home form is good.

I think we'll win with a great performance like the Sunderland game.

Unchanged team assuming no more injuries.

We’ll win this. A lot has been made about our injuries and what not but a starting 11 of:

Collins
MVE
Thomas
Kitch
JDS
Sheaf
Grimes
Sakamoto
Rudoni
Wright
Simms

Is a solid lineup and with a bit more ruthlessness, we’ll beat WBA.
