Personally I would take a point now, provided we then do the necessary in the following 2 home games. This one will be tough and I just cannot see either of the 2 scores that are posted above. Hope to be wrong of course

Can't see any sort of walkover however they have conceded more than anybody else in the top half though to balance that out they have only been outscored by us and Brentford. Surely there'll be goals in this and their style will fit into ours unless they change their approach.

Head says 2-2, hunch says we win 3-2.

You can make a decent case for every outcome but if we go and win this I think itâ€™s a strong marker, one we should have made against Forest.

I feel like we will get the win, but we canâ€™t start there like we did last year. If we do we have another great opportunity in the next two games to create more distance.

Our toughest game in theory in the next 6 until Brentford away.

Barring injuries, it will be an unchanged team line-up.
Still bitterly disappointed over the Forest result.
One shot on target on our goal throughput the whole game and they score.

Even more frustrating when looking at the statistics over the game and when you see 1 shot on target and yet they score 2 goals! I remember a number of years ago when Blues visited us, played us off the park and Richard Sneekes scored with our only shot for a 1-0 victory. We sang "We only need one chance" for ages afterwards! Shows how important it is to take chances when you create. Hopefully we'll do that at Bristol.

In fairness; not that Forest created a glut of opportunities but the own goal was effectively a tap-in if Bartley didn't intervene and they had another great chance before that with Grabban totally mistiming his header that went tamely wide. So more like a conversion rate of 2 out of 3.
Think sometimes shots on target can be overstated. Would feel better if my team had a lot of chances just narrowly going wide and clear of the keeper than several tame long range shots that a keeper dealt with comfortably.

If only there was a measure that could indicate the likelihood of scoring from where you're taking your shots from...

I was there with my Blues supporting granddad! I'd accept that kind of victory in this game

Long Ashton is a very quiet place,thing is, its that small that if you walk into any of the pubs Long Ashton.

Really wish I was there for this one.

Think it will be high scoring due to both teams having good attacks and poor defense. 3-4 Baggies

BigFrank20 · « **Reply #61 on:** February 22, 2020, 10:13:53 AM »

Just about to set off for Brizzle, 4-1 to us again methinks

It scares me when our supporters think we are going to win and score a lot of goals, that's when we usually lose, but fingers crossed, 0-1 to the baggie boys

Me too.

But just to add balance to the equation, I think we will be played off the park and lose 4-1. There, harmony and equilibrium are restored to the Albion Universe and we have a 50-50 chance of winning

PS. I had my fingers crossed while typing this, hence why it looks a mess

In Bedminster cricket club and it's full of Baggies 10 min walk to the ground and a decent burger and chips at non rip off prices

Bartley dropped for Big Ahmed. Praise be.

Otherwise unchanged.

Letâ€™s just hope Hegazi finds his mojo today and puts in a shift.

Can see the point in Bilic's change Bartley has had a mare of late.

lewisant · « **Reply #71 on:** February 22, 2020, 02:50:20 PM »

Well done Bilic! Bartley rightly dropped but Hegazi needs a chance now over a number of games

frazzle · « **Reply #72 on:** February 22, 2020, 02:50:56 PM »

Bartley definitely had his moments recently so can understand the change. Hegazi needs to step up though and be better than he has been so far.
