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.

Wasn't Oggy or Frankie Bunn in charge for that match? How shit

Play like we did last night and we’ll be fine.

Side note: I’m taking my WBA-supporting mother-in-law on the proviso she keeps her gob shot. Having seen her flounce out of our house a few weeks back, when watching WBA on TV lose against Plymouth, proclaiming “I’ve had enough of this fucking crap” - this may be hard to achieve. She’s 78.

Same starting 11 as last night, but I would like to see Allan and Bassette on after an hour. Sheaf was knackered and to be fair Bassette made some very good runs and put a great cross in.

All about opinions he has pace isn't afraid to run at people , a better touch then Simms and abit of arrogance about him. We have a very good player there and he could be an asset against tired defenders

Going to be a very tough match I think. Neither team will want to lose, which could mean a cagey 0-0. It could also mean one team loses their nerve and gets mullered. Hopefully that isn't us!

West Brom have been pretty consistent all season up until recently, losing 3 on the bounce. They've since put that right with a win against Watford in the last game. From our perspective I think we just have to try and avoid losing. Keep the gap there as the games tick down. Anything more than that is a bonus.

Friday night game at home with a full house should be in our favour. Let's hope we can use that to our advantage.

Must be a shock for Mowbray to when he was in charge with us 9 years ago. To see a full house 6th in the championship.

Well, after last nights draw it sets it up nicely for the Friday. We never do things the easy way and so it will prove again. It would have taken the pressure off with the 3 points against Hull but in reality 4 points from the two games we would have been happy with beforehand and hopefully that will be the case come 5pm on Friday.
Was at West Brom v Watford at the weekend and Fellows is the danger man and had a good game and think it may well be DaSilva’s job to try and keep him quiet. If we manage to do that we could be in business.

If we get beat by West Brom and other results don’t go our way we have an extremely tough last 3 games to be in control of our destiny.

It’s going to be a nervy game and we’re going to be hurting a bit from the result last night. Also fatigued with a thinning squad.

Let’s hope it’s pure adrenaline now in the players lockers to help get us a play off finish.

Sheaf looked totally outpaced on the break when tracking back. Wright does track back well (much better defensively than EMC IMO) but him having to drop deep does limit our own break options.

Keep with me on this

The solution might be Bidwell, who doesn’t get forward as much as JDS, maybe, but does cover better defensively.

Torp and Eccles (both injured) had, when playing, more defensive attributes than Sheaf, certainly more pace and perhaps could accommodate JDS being more forward. Sheaf atm doesn’t provide as much cover.

I can see WBA targeting our left defence so would put Bidwell in, even if only at half time when Sheaf is showing lack of fitness to cover back.

Haji can burn himself out for 70 before Pato comes in.

I want to turn these over as well big time

If there is one word I would use to describe West Bromwich Albion, it’s beige

Boring club, boring set of footballers, boring manager, boring place

Dull as dishwater who have had their fair share of wins over us in recent years and I want to put them in their place

Just another football club that have done fuck all in anyones life time who look down upon us and patronise us whenever they play us like we’re some sort of small club punching above our weight - They’re at it already on twitter saying we’re only turning up Friday cause we are playing them, news to me

It shows how badly we were ran for years on end that clubs like West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City can speak us down and be taken seriously for it

From the last 4 think a win and 3 draws will get us 6th, 5 th then prob 2 wins and 2 draws, can’t see Bristol city getting more than 4 more points,and would mean the rest would have to win 3 of the last 4, big ask, reckon a point last game to guarantee it

Fellows looks to be their main danger and given how Hull targeted Dasilva I would expect West Brom to favour much the same tactic. Apart from for the goal, Dasilva dealt quite well overall, but Fellows looks a much better player than he faced last night. Judging from their goals against Watford it looks like he favours pulling the ball back for late runners to feed off so we need to look to defend that option when/ if Fellows gets the beating of our full back.

I fell very confident of not losing this game. They're very poor away from home this season. Their last away win was in November 1-2 at Hull. They also won once away in September.

Add to this our recent home form is solid and we're in for a full house. A draw wouldn't be a bad result but a win would be excellent.

Still don’t buy into the narrative that Hull “targeted Dasilva”. That Brazilian player for them was trying his luck down the right all first half, despite MVE getting the better of him. Is this actually happening?

Fellows will be a danger for no other reason than he's their best player, although the only thing he'll be 'licking his lips' at, is the thought of leaving West Brom in the summer.
