I can't believe how poor their coverage has become
Our current 'local' reporter is a chap from West Brom who 'supports' Liverpool
Even Jonny who does the podcast isn't that local though claims to be a fan
I've stopped listening to the baggies broadcast its just 'lads banter' like talksport
The website on the drop down box under West Brom has a Val Ismael tab!
Their baggies twitter page has a photo of Callum Robinson
Breaking news stories usually start with 'as per J Percy....'
Poor!

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post but does anybody know if sky will be showing mid week games on the red button this season? There are no games listed on their website as being so for next week's midweek matches. Thanks

Why does Joe Masi as our local journalist never break any news directly?
Every tweet seems to start with 'as per John Percy...' or 'as per Sky Sports...'
Surely you would expect our local journo to get the news first

How many times have the mighty baggies played at footballs holy grail?
On the match I'm watching they mentioned Sunderland have played there 11 times and just wondered about our record

Anyone have any memories of this fanzine?
I never brought it but I remember them selling it outside the hawthorns in the 90s
Also does anybody remember the Albion newspaper that used to be in the shops?

West Bromwich Albion FC / 2017/18 - 2020/21 season comparison
« on: February 07, 2021, 05:37:04 PM »
As several have touched on this season is going the same way as our last season in the premier league when we appointed Pardew
In 2017/18 season we departed with one manager and replaced him with an 'experienced' premier league manager who had a completely different style
The players struggled to embrace the new style and subsequently appeared to down tools
After a set of bad results came a great result (3-2 at Anfield)
We then signed an England international to try and save our season (Sturridge)
We kept losing game after game and eventually the manager and club decided it was best to part ways
We also had an experienced player who was said to be great in the dressing room (Barry)
This season we departed with one manager and replaced him with an 'experienced' premier league manager who had a completely different style

We keep losng game after game.....
We also had an experienced player who was said to be great in the dressing room (Snodgrass)
Similarities?
(Worth mentioning the side that were relegated in 2018 included Foster, Evan's, McAuley, Rondon, Krychowiak)

West Bromwich Albion FC / Sammy Lee
« on: January 03, 2021, 05:09:39 PM »
All the talk about players not playing for Sam is it more the fact our "head coach" is actually Sammy Lee much like all our problems under Big Dave stemmed from Graeme Jones coaching and his obsession with playing out from the back at all costs.
How much work on the training ground does Sam actually do?
From all the videos on social media he is never there
You just see Sammy Lee drilling into them

Is playing at home a real issue for our players even without fans?
Even last season when we had fans we were much better away from home

West Bromwich Albion FC / What went wrong?
« on: December 31, 2020, 01:42:50 PM »
I had the review of last season on DVD for Christmas and I'm watching it now and before christmas we were blowing teams away. Some of the football we were playing was some of the best I'd seen in years. Attacking quickly and with purpose. It was a joy to watch. How did we go from this to limping over the line to promotion and what's happened this season? We were better than Leeds for large chunks of last season and we looked a million miles away from them 2 days ago. Was it losing Ferguson? Diangana injury? Lockdown? It's a joy to watch this football back again but also quite sad how things have unravelled so quickly.

I see Robbie Savage today in his prediction of us finishing bottom called us a yo yo club.
Why are those 8 straight seasons and top half finishes under Hodgson and Clarke forgotten about? I can only assume as our away colours are green and yellow we are being confused with Norwich!

Chris Sutton has been asked what he thought of the newly promoted clubs, to which he replied -
‘ Leeds Utd were the best team in the Championship by SOME distance last season - it’s exciting to have them back...!!
West Brom have a reputation of being a yo-yo club, Slaven Bilic will have to try to break that reputation... ‘.
It was the same when Pulis was sacked. All the pundits were saying we were a yo yo club before he came in and stabilised us. So the 11th, 10th and 8th finishes under Hodgson and Clarke didn't happen prior to his arrival 🙄
