West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Coronavirus Thread - Games provisionally to resume 20 June - CLUB RELATED ONLY

Wonder if the club will extend the early bird sales period as at the moment, we have no idea on any future football

I don't get why games should go ahead, huge numbers and potential risk for the sake of what is essentially entertainment.

Looks like it's off anyway tomorrow, correct decision

Bilic perfers three center backs in his back four so nothing to do with Townsends form it's just that Gibbs gives us more attacking intent on left flank which caused blues all sorts of problems at their ground. Grosicki has looked sharp when coming on and deserves a start where as Robinson has been poor in last two league games. This is last chance for Zohore in my opinion and its him not Austin getting nod just for his size in defence of corners and free kicks and hold up play and mobility up top.
Zohore is woeful. Utter garbage, shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI

He won't be good enough next year, but I defend him on his goals record alone in this league. He's good enough.
Asking him to run the channels and bully defenders won't work. It's not his game.

We've had a load of strikers over the years worse, to even consider Austin who has a 1 in 2 record in the championship as the worst we've had is beyond me.
It doesn't help we ask him to do donkey work, more suited to the likes of Kanu. Austin whilst in decline is a finisher. Blues (a) a prime example.
Craig Beattie, Thievy Bifouma, James Quinn, Fabian De Freitas, Rickie Lambert , Sherjill MacDonald, Luke Moore . All worse
Shall I carry on?

« on: March 06, 2020, 02:38:40 PM »Charlie Austin has got to be the worst centre forward we have had here. He gives us absolutely nothing. He's got no pace, he can't compete in the air, he's not even big enough to muscle the centre half around. The 2nd biggest waste of money in recent times (Burke was the first).
Bilic can't surely pick him on the bench again tomorrow !!! At least Zohore has pace and is big enough to compete in the air. Or even give the youngsters a taste of being part of the first team squad like Tulloch.
I'm just pleased that Robson Kanu stepped us this season otherwise we would have been in trouble.
Have you been on the sauce?
Worst we've ever had?

« on: March 04, 2020, 03:24:31 PM »They lost £69m getting out of the champo!?!
They have already spent more this season than they will recieve. Net spend is around £140m and they will make around 100-110 so 30m down on transfers alone already and the wage bill will have shot up so next year they are in big doo-doo. These wealthy owners always seem to find a way around it though.
If they go down then i would expect they sell Mings, Grealish and McGinn to balance the books.
They'll sell Grealish regardless

Short cameo aside, the bloke is an absolute donkey. Stealing a living and whoever sanctioned this needs a rollocking.
Terrible record prior to signing.

I like Harper, sometimes he looks fantastic driving with the ball. Problem being his 'sometimes' isn't enough. Often left scratching my head at where he is for the majority of the game.
His general demeanour on the pitch doesn't help

A decent player but don't think he'd ever make the step up, will forge a good career in the championship

Game fully there for the taking, taken away from us by poor selection.
Walked out as soon as the third went in, walked home and made it back in time to watch the last 20.
If we are to go up, the squad needs some real quality in depth. Early stages still but O'Shea isn't good enough. Hopefully it's the end of that experiment at CH or RB and we see Furlong back in. He gives us so much more.

« on: August 07, 2017, 11:40:31 AM »Cheers. Just asking cause see so many who have said they would never watch us under Pulis, at away games.
Plenty of away fans go purely for the day out and lots of those will be a bit worse for wear come kick off anyway.
I'm one of them, makes it enjoyable.

It's the same squad but we won't be seeing Gardner Olsson or Fletcher dragging it down. If we could get rid of Dawson. We'd have a team that is comfortable on the ball.
We don't have the depth to sustain 9th in the league in my opinion. Few injuries and all we have is kids.
Agree on Dawson. Tat

No points needed for Brighton. Strange one as I expect everyone to go to this.
Could be a free for all now getting tickets.
