Let's be honest, he's been a great signing. I'm kind of shocked no one else went after him and props to our scouts for getting it done.

Think our only rival was Preston if i recall correctly and they dropped out or got told no, left us a clear runway!

Do all those question marks mean they're in the poo under or is it under review? There's a poem in there somewhere.

Ahh it ain't converted, basically show whether that figure is up or down on last season but you'd have to go on Maguires account to see.

Cheers Gaz, appreciated  .

OS has now posted an article. Sounds like he might be playing which makes sense.


https://www.wba.co.uk/news/young-goalkeeper-ben-cisse-agrees-short-term-alvechurch-loan

"Young Albion goalkeeper Ben Cisse has joined Southern Premier Central League outfit Alvechurch on a one-month loan deal.

Fellow Baggies academy graduate Ronnie Hollingshead - who's been a regular between the sticks for the Church during his loan this term - is currently away from his spell at Lye Meadow after being called up by Wales Under-21s for their March internationals.

A shot-stopper who's represented England between U15-20s, Cisse will hope to experience senior football for the first time during his time in Worcestershire - starting on Tuesday, March 18 when Alvechurch host promotion-chasing Kettering Town.

Good luck, Ben! "

As revealing stats go that's quite a stark representation of just how few decent opportunities he's had this season. Ten touches in six games. Not necessarily chances. Nor even decent chances. Touches.

We are definitely not helping him in the way we play.

Any idea whether Ben Cisse's going as a replacement or cover for Ronnie Hollingshead?

As cover and  competition I'm sure it said.

The bottom 3 really have kept Wolves up haven't they? Crazy thing is Ipswich spent a fortune too.

Is there really any hope for anyone being promoted now?

Forest went full risk, full reward and only just got away with it!

I think a slow yo-yo, rebuild method is the most sensible long-term.

What side would you have picked to “get it right?”.

Lot of similar posts and seldom few with any explanation of the team they wanted to see, even with the benefit of hindsight. Be useful to read Mowbray got it wrong he should have…..

We looked laboured today and a bit toothless. Hull brighter, and have taken a lot of points of the bigger teams this season. Draw was probably about right. Suspect we’ll be better once we have our fullbacks available and Maja on the pitch.

I certainly wouldn't have put JM out wide, I wouldn't have put Holgate into CB where he's weaker, which means I would have had Price in midfield. Today's side only made sense based on Diakite not playing. After his performance last match I would certainly have stuck with Diakite but I'm not the manager and I'm not the one that made mistakes. Tony is.


We lost Styles but regained Bartley so the 3 changes weren't needed for me

Thought he made some good stops at end but, as Atomic said, could he have done more for the goal? I suppose you can say all of them near the ball could

I'm a Mowbray fan but I will still criticise him when I think he's got it wrong and he did today as far as I'm concerned.

So Diakite, played so well the other day in defence and doesn't play today - just totally bizarre. We were just so slow and although Barts has been OK he just hasn't got the legs anymore. All on Mowbray this one. If we do not make the play off's this year he can go too.

Felt like todays side was setup so that TM wouldn't need to pick Diakite. I'm sure it wasn't but when managers have their opinions on a player it's hard for their ego to tell themselves they may be wrong and the team suffers.

JUst the totally wrong starting XI today for me. All on Mowbray

Even with a random XI we were easily on top but with no goal to show for it. Made some changes just after the 60th minute, too late though.
