Deserved goal today and what a goal, absolute credit to himself this turn around.
A different version was there yesterday
Does anyone have the full SP about what is going on/went on?
COYB
Just raising my first pint to the lads. Comfortable win when we needed it. Does anyone know if Johnston is able to continue with us now that the normal season is over?
Another good 3 points in a game where we never really got going but ultimately didn't have to.
Furlong and Townsend both put in really good performances but Johnston was MoM for me.
As someone has already said; we scored at really good times. Fellows strike was well taken and great assist by Townsend for the second with Wallace taking a great position for the tap in.
Agree that TGH could have been sent off....maybe should have been sent off.
Anyone know what was said to Palmer when he was setting up to take the free kick at the end? Furlong was annoyed by it too.
Yes, I sit fairly close to where that incident occurred. Not a booking or even a foul for me.
Really ! Thats going to be 4 hours on a coach, 6:00 am start ?
Someone who's there to score the easy goals later in games? Keep doing just that and it's hugely valuable to us at this level.
Mentioned on the Liquidator this week that his brother Bright Dike had to retire due to injury.
Played for Nigeria as well.
Just looked at BBC report, very attacking subs. I like it.
How did the new guys get on MJ and Marshall?
Great to win but probably didn't do quite enough to justify the 3 points - but we'll take it and move!
Firstly, can somebody tell me how Ivan Sunjic survived being booked!? He committed at least 4/5 fouls and two of them were proper, blatant pull backs and trips. Honestly, couldn't believe my eyes.
Fellows easily M.O.T.M. Terrorised their full backs and I'm pretty sure they made a sub to try and deal with him. He's getting better by the week.
A few had off days (Swift - again - Kipre and BTA) and the passing, overall, was awful from the majority of the team.
I actually thought the choice of sub and doing them all so close to each other disjointed us but great to see Weimann doing exactly what Corberan brought him in to do. He spoke about playing him in the number 10 role, making late runs in the box and the finish looked a classic Weimann finish - instinctive.
The main thing was getting a little bit of revenge back on the Blues and that was mission complete.
Happy with the result, but not how we played. The defence was nervous all game and it shone through. The initial forward set up was dire, even though Wallace and Fellows tried.
Rishi Sunak condemns 'concerning' violence as six arrested after Wolves v West Brom FA Cup clash
Six people have been arrested after violence broke out at the West Brom v Wolves FA Cup clash at The Hawthorns.
The disorder started in the 78th minute after Wolves went 2-0 up, with police officers rushing to control the crowd.
The match was suspended for around 35 minutes and a man was seen being led away with blood covering his face. Police say he's since been taken to hospital with head injuries.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has condemned the violence and called for the hooligans responsible for the “extremely concerning” scenes at the West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers match to face criminal charges.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: "Six people were arrested in connection with trouble at West Brom's game against Wolves yesterday, as officers vowed to make further arrests in connection with the unacceptable violence.
"Four West Brom supporters and two Wolves fans were arrested, and all have since been bailed while the investigation continues."
Those arrested were:
A 16-year-old held on suspicion of an offensive weapon after he was stopped by officers using Section 60 stop and search powers in a pub before the game.
A 29-year-old man arrested for affray after violence in one of the stands.
A 24-year-old man arrested for violent disorder after pushing towards officers.
A 33-year-old man arrested for violent disorder and assaulting police officers after pushing one officer to the floor and kicking out at another.
A 34-year-old man arrested on suspicion of a public order offence after picking up a corner flag and brandishing it as a weapon.
A 58-year-old man arrested for assaulting a police officer after throwing punches at officers.
Ch Insp Tim Robinson, from the West Midlands Police football department, said: “What we saw yesterday was completely unacceptable violence directed at both fans and officers, which sadly led to the suspension of the game.
"No football fan wants to see that. It’s important to stress however that it was very much a minority of fans involved in the trouble, and the vast majority of supporters were a credit to their clubs.
"Our policing operation was very much targeted against those who we know or suspect are involved in football violence, and our priority at all times is keeping people safe.
"A number of officers have been injured, and we have already started the process of reviewing evidence including body worn video and CCTV to ensure that we identify and arrest all of those involved over the coming days and weeks.
"We’ll be working with both clubs and the FA. Those involved in the disorder can expect to receive club bans and wider football banning orders.”
The prime minister’s official spokesman said: “Those scenes are extremely concerning, there’s no place for that kind of behaviour in football, the Prime Minister believes that everyone should be able to watch their team without any threat of violence or antisocial behaviour.
“He firmly expects anyone involved to face criminal charges and to be banned from future games.
“It’s right to thank the police for their bravery in keeping people safe. I believe a number of officers were injured and obviously that’s not tolerable.”
A Football Association statement read: “The disorder that occurred at the Black Country derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers is completely unacceptable. Safety and security are of the utmost importance, and the behaviour of those involved is dangerous and inexcusable.
“We will be investigating these serious incidents alongside the clubs and the relevant authorities, and the appropriate action will be taken.”
My worry is they’ll want to make an example to try and stop things like this again. We’re not particularly well liked so it’s a perfect opportunity in my opinion.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the punishment exceeds what’s been given in the past.
As for the football, Bartleys body check was just that however everyone seems to have missed Dawsons high leg in the first half that went unpunished. That for me was a worse tackle.
We huffed and puffed but ultimately undone by two good finishes by players that cost more than our football club.
Really pleased that Fellows has signed the extension.
He's one of those players that creates excitement when he gets the ball.
Looked good when he came on today.
You must be joking. Good job VAR wasn't around as it was pure thuggery. Do what he did on the street and you could get arrested. His only concern was stopping Cunha by any means possible. His whole body changed direction to commit the assault and it was a disgraceful act. I've never been a fan of this guy simply because I don't rate him as a footballer but what he did today could have led to a significant injury to an opponent.
