Could still be 343Please don’t!
Pity all the agencies chasing Zouma and looking into 'cat cruelty', don't spend so much time looking into child cruelty. If they had perhaps Arthur Labinjo Hughes would still be here.RSPCA is a charity for the protection of animals.
I suspect he has enough in the bank by now to enjoy a comfortable life, so much depends upon his attitude and the evidence to date is not encouraging.His control is apparently exceptional.
From todays athleticThey were actually doing ok with 343 and then lost the first game with a back 4.
"Albion Under-23s, who had also switched to 3-4-3 on Ismael’s orders to echo what the first team were doing, reverted to a back four on Monday in their first game since Bruce’s appointment in what could be considered a clue to his intentions for the senior side."
Phillips and Bartley doubtful for tomorrows game from the OS.In that case:
Referees, we will start being awarded pen’s again, I have a personal theory why we have been getting a rough deal from refs, if correct the trend will reverse nowWhilst I see where your coming from mate, we didn't exactly get many decent shouts under Val, the ball didn't spend enough time in the opposition box and the forwards even less.
Not sure if this is because Vals football was so bad, but having watched the changes this week and the interviews with Bruce, I actually feel excited. If we can get some footballing nous in the board and we have a manager who will at least respond to changes in a game then it can only be a positive.From what I’ve heard he was liked as a person but hated for his methods. Not only by players but, more importantly, coaches.
We’re not miles away, we have three players on the books suddenly who can bang in the goals and if we can bring Grady back then we have a great chance.
Come on Albion!
If Bruce can recover the mess of this season he deserves that money and deal.Agree.
You're overcompensating an average of 1.6 per game would usually get you into the top six that's 8 from every 15 saying that more would be nice.If we've got 69 points going into the last game mate, it will be too much to bear! Especially against Val's Barnsley!
For this division those 5 are a tough group i wouldn't expect the team to pick up that quickly.
I think this long term plan stuff is a pure myth. There is no such thing in football either with players or managers.The only loyalty in football is from us the fans, that’s why it’s such a shame when we turn on each other over a player, manager or whatever.
This is a reminder of the Pardew appointment. I've also got a feeling it could end the same way.Why not? He's one of the few available that has done it before and without top 6 money.
It's not exactly an appointment that is going to enable us to build a team over the next few seasons so we could compete in the premiership.
Also I wonder if he will bring his assistant ........... Graeme Jones. He failed here before when he tried to play the ball out from the back. Can you imagine our defenders trying that !!! I think disaster is the word.
They are not fans of WBA!We won 5-1 and turned the tie around after losing 3-0 in the first leg.
They will frighten and drive away children and females from supporting our club of great heritage and pride.
May years ago I took my young son to a home match against Millwall in a cup game 2nd leg that we had lost the first leg by 3 or 4 goals so I thought it would be a good match to take him to because we had no option but to attack, we sat in the top tier of the old rainbow stand, I can't remember the match itself just the marauding mob of Millwall fans running along the top of the private boxes in the rainbow
My son was terrified, he was a junior baggie, he never went back to the game of football, he took up rugby
It's only a step away from throwing flares to missiles then fighting racism etc we must stop it now throw them out arrest them jail them ban them from WBA now!
It would be interesting to listen to what the boards vision actually is.I would imagine the vision is to get back in the greed league and very little ahead of that, which is understandable. Long term projects cost millions, that we just don't have.
I hope he doesn't go 352, transfermarkt states that is his preferred formation. If we go down that road then we can kiss goodby to getting the best out of Grady and Furlong and Townsend could be part of the midfield 5.Tended to play 4141 / 451 at Newcastle, can't see him playing 3 at the back, not in the long term anyway.
Actually wouldn't mind a dynamic 442 with the players we have.
Agree with most of what you said.Pretty sure the midfield will change, because he'll go 4 at the back so either 4141, 442, or 451. I expect the latter, which will instantly stop the midfield being overrun, and allow Townsend and Furlong to go back to being full-backs. Carrol will be the focal point, with the likes of Grant, Robbo, Grady and Phillips playing off him.
Fingers crossed you are right and Bruce changes the midfield up.
One thing is for sure if we continue with Livermore and Mowatt as a pairing, we are not winning any match!
Says he will listen and reconnect with fans … and then goes to appoint Steve Bruce … in less than a hour all what he said is rubbishA lot of fans are ok with Bruce.
