Out of interest how much even are the AST's? same as HST?
Sure they used to be about £120 up front and then £5 off every ticket, not sure now.
Never bothered with one personally, as never not got a ticket for a game. Only exception was exeter last season but even then me and two mates got tickets in the exeter end

Train prices to London on the quicker trains are a joke!Check out the Chiltern line from Snow Hill to Marylebone which are usually reasonably priced and not too slow
I've got my ticket for Brentford last week but got a terraced ticket, yesterday they brought out section 401, so i brought one for that so i can get a better view.
Does anyone know if i can return the terraced ticket back to the ticket office?
Should be able to no problem mate, I have returned tickets a couple of times and its not been a problem. You do physically have to take it back though.

I tried and it was even more then virgin. In the end I paid £30 return to get the slow train to London but the fast Virgin (1 hour 23) one back so I cant complain as the train there me and my brother will enjoy a beer or 6 so there's no rush. I get to London at 12.16 so I will be able to catch two 3rds of Leeds Vs Sheffield United near Euston before making my way to the stadium.

I expect we will remain at 4-5-1 given that Brentford are strong at home and play the type of football they play. I would make a couple of changes though subject to availability. We need a proper defensive option in midfield so Barry or Field should be in the team to do that job. Livermore just doesn't justify a place at all for me so I'd replace him with Johansen and I'd play Brunt on the right hand side, he has the ability to find Gayle or find Rodriguez with diagonal balls. I'm presuming Phillips won't be available, even if he is I'd leave him out and give him time to get over these recurring problems properly:
Johnstone
Holgate Dawson Hegazi Townsend
Barry
Harper Johansen
Brunt Rodriguez
Gayle
Subs: Bond, Mears, Bartley, Field, Livermore, Robson-Kanu, Murphy
There must be doubts regarding the availability of Holgate, Dawson and Barry. If not available replace them with Mears, Bartley and Field.
Decent side but no way can brunt play right hand side of midfield. i would swap jay rod and brunt.
I remember seeing that game on telly. It was in black and white wasn’t it? :D
He's played there before. The very first time I saw him play was for Sheffield Wednesday against us and he played wide right then and had a really good game.

Jimmy Shan expects Holgate and Dawson to be fit. Phillips and Gibbs probably not. Adarabioyo is out.New manager ;D ;D
No mention of Barry so I'm guessing he's not injured which leads me to question his non involvement last Wednesday.
The team will be wearing black armbands tomorrow in memory of 34 year old Albion Secretary Simon Carrington who has died from Cancer.
Anybody with any idea how we can make a respectful tribute at the match tomorrow?
I'd be tempted to bring Field in for Harper, but I also don't like changing a winning team.What does Livermore bring to the team?
Johnstone
Holgate
Dawson
Hegazi
Townsend
Livermore
Brunt
Field
Murphy
Gayle
Rodriguez
Gayle desperately needs a goal, as he has generally been a passenger since returning from suspension.
What does Livermore bring to the team?
As good as he played mid week I'm not sure Brunt will have the legs for a game 3 days later. I'd be looking about 60 minutes max before changing him.
Funny ain't ya? ;D
Come to think of it I seem to remember Brunty setting up a goal from wide right at Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season. No reason why he can't play that position, sometimes having a leftie on the right can work.
What does Livermore bring to the team?
Only dab in the Black Country so WM don’t bother with the Albion when we are away
Matt Wilson thinks its 4-1-4-1 same as Wednesday
You can go to streams.
Looks very windy. Decent save from Johnstone from that free kick.
I'm not happy with Brunt and Morrison being played in same midfield.Both played quite well so far in fairness

Just cant seem to get the right personal for those 3 in the middle, No matter the combo it always seems disjointed/soft. Brunt as the main DM scares me to no end. But Brentford was always going to dominate the ball.
Tough game with the weather playing it's part. Still 0-0 though. Shame we haven't took advantage of our set-pieces.

Brentford edging it but they have had the wind in their favour, Edwards will probably only get another 15minsGet him off!! :D

Technically this isn't a stream, still, if it's not allowed feel free to yell at me.
Worked perfectly. What a goal
Hows Johanson played today....I'd got such high Hope's for him...he was superb for Fulham last year in the Championship
He ran down the right and beat about 5 players before dinking it over the keeper. Possibly a better solo effort than Barnes vs Wednesday!
I missed most of the first half, but he has had a very solid game, bought off two excellent saves. A few of his kicks were a bit iffy, but has, as I said a solid game and has done what he’s had to effectively and efficiently
Thank you buddy but I asked about Stefan Johanson not Johnstone.whats Johanson doing in goal!!!!!

GET IN!
Great result. Not only has Shan won both matches, but kept clean sheets in both. The management team of Moore/Jones proving to have been absolutely awful to have us so far from automatic promotion.

He's had to go extremely negative to get these 2 results, the fans wouldn't have stood for this football all season. I've no qualms with the decision to sack him but these 2 results aren't a pointer to how well or badly he was doing.
Stream was terrible so not got much comment, Gayle unucky with a couple of freekicks, Edwards with an excellent goal, Johnstone with a decent save from their free kick.
Let's get Jokanovic in now and push on to the play-offs.

Fantastic result - 3 points. Great goal by Edwards.
I wouldn't call a 3-0 win 'negative'...nor would I call 4 goals in two matches negative. If anything against Swansea we were too open at times.Bound to be open really, playing 3 up front, but what a good call to give Edwards a start!
An important win. Happy to keep another clean sheet too. Personally, I'd rather we focus on keeping winning and solidify a play off spot rather than stress over automatic.
We're now 10 points off 7th. Good day all round!
I'm afraid the last two games show why Big Dave had to go, Shan has shown more tactical ability in two games than Big Dave has shown since Christmas.Agreed,for me Moore and Jones have cost us automatic with their stubbornness to change failed tactics
Great result. Let's be real though, we haven't played particularly well in either of the 2 games, and have been exceptionally lucky / keeper on form to have 2 clean sheets.
It's no fault of Shan's, but this is still the same team struggling through football matches in my opinion. Great credit to him for playing Edwards and for guiding us to 2 wins though, not a huge amount he can do in such a short space of time.
There have been quite a few games this season where we've won on account of the opposition forwards having a nightmare, and then people claim we are 'solid'.
Still though, Rome wasn't built in a day. Good job everyone and a great win - thrilled for Edwards
Shan has already shown more tactical nous in 2 games than Moore did in most of his, and Shan should be nowhere near the running for this job, already looking like the right decision although I'm not surprised in the slightest. Great to see Edwards get a goal.
Side note, Villa looking good for the play offs under the head coach that should have been leading us to the title, again I'm not surprised.
Clueless Deano, who can't buy a win without his £40 million midfielder? They're in a purple patch of 4 games. It's not even in their own hands. Got them down for an 8th place finish.
Good up-and-coming head coach who actually understands how to implement an attacking style of play at this level and has proven it at 2 clubs with vastly different resources. Put the master of negativity Pulis to the sword today with ease, something Moore proved to be utterly incapable of.
We had it narrowed down to 2 candidates who both wanted the job in the summer, it was an absolute joke which one they went with.
Great away day . Proper little ground , with proper terrace. Ground surrounded by pubs, friendly supporters, enjoyed it immensely.

Thought we were pretty poor in 1st half but we improved in the second half when the midfield got to grips with the game.
Defensively we looked a bit shaky at times and I thought Holgate was poor all game but both he and Townsend were left exposed at times, at other times Holgate kept drifting in and leaving Edwards with 2 wide players to try and close down.
I'm not sure what's up with Gayle but yet again he looked well off the pace, maybe the early clash that left him with a blooded nose impacted on him. Unless he scores he offers next to nothing.
Thought Brunt and Morrison played well and kept things ticking over nicely and really pleased for Edwards getting his goal, great control and finish. Shame we couldn't get a second (that wasn't offside!) but after 80 minutes we saw the game out well.
For me the only real difference between Shan and Moore/Jones is that we don't needlessly pass it around the back every time and the defenders and keeper look happier about it.
Absolutely superb away day.
Only slight downer being the return journey by train.
It was slower than an arthritic pack mule.
Never mind, still had a good laugh.

BRENTFORD LAUNCH INVESTIGATION FOLLOWING BAGGIES FANS’ JEANVIER COMPLAINTS
Any of you lads that went witnessed this?
Source: https://readwestbrom.com/2019/03/18/brentford-launch-investigation-following-baggies-fans-jeanvier-complaints/
Yep, ball came over towards the end of the game, he misjudged it and got some jeers and a bit of stick, nothing major, he then spat towards our fans, I have seen that it hit a couple. Blokes a disgrace, stewards saw it as there was a bunch of them right there.
What do you reckon his punishment should be? If one of our players did that, I'd be absolutely disgusted.
