Fingers crossed they pick some of those players leaving in the summer so the lovely fans that we have can give them a pleasant send off and wish them all the best for the future
Team for me on that basis:
Griffiths
Furlong Ajayi Bartley Heggem
Swift Mowatt
Fellows Price Grady
Armstrong
Have a lovely weekend, chaps
He's trying far too hard, bless. I'll be mildly surprised if he makes it to just gone noon before catching the Night Boat.
It is not willy waving at all. Managers will be attracted by the stature of a club. Its why Leeds and Sunderland have managed to attract so many big names, despite years of medicocrity. Its why we have managed to attract so many big names.
FFS, the likes of Lopetegui are rumoured to be interested in coming to us... in the Championship. In years of reading this forum and attending matches for the last 45 years, I have found Baggies fans to be the most humble fans... but too humble IMO.
I have 2 brothers both are Villains, I’ll leave it there!
My in-laws are Birmingham City.
My wife used to favour Leicester, I think from the 70’s team,but I’m sure I’ve converted her.
My son is a rugby fan,he thinks football fans are morons!
My daughter is not interested at all.
Nephews & nieces are Walsall.
So it’s a constant battle at my place.
One thing though I think it’s important they all have great respect for WBA ,not a bad word.
I live in the North West same up here ,no-one I know has a bad word for Albion,which is interesting in itself and most of them call us the Baggies,not Albion.
Another thing wherever I’ve lived ,I always say “ I’m going up the Albion” never have said I’m going down the Albion,I wonder why that is,even though I actually have to go down to the Albion,anyway enough musings.
I’m being positive as I usually I’m going 0-3 WBA today.
It is the same Jovan Malcolm
Interesting to note that Clearly has settled in well for Hartlepool and scored again, seems their fans rate him highly and are amazed he couldn't get a look in at Walsall.
Obviously its a long way from the 5th tier to the 2nd tier in quality but seems he's done enough to suggest he has something and we should be looking to give him another contract and seeing if he can do it in the football league next season (or even maybe be useful for us, kind of like how Fellows developed).
Vikings I am hearing for fancy dress. I am in too minds whether to go now , it could be a bit hostile down there if we beat them and send them down.
I know but i'm trying to stay positive
Clinging onto faint hope.
Totally agree with what you are saying but we have to let them go at some time.
Hopefully the summer and new manager will 'reset' their attitudes.
One of his parting shots:-
" I think the real issue is that the manager should be able, from the resources that he’s been given, to pick the team he wants to pick. So, just because someone costs £5million, £10m or £20m, if the manager doesn’t want to put him in the team, he should be given the right to pick the team."
Rather concerning if he is sugessting he didn't have autonomy over team slections. What players do people think he was referring to? The only players we've paid fees for are Styles, Heggem, Price, Johnston and Bany.
Only Bany seems like one who the recruitment team would want to see involved more, however he had fitness issues and injuries.
I may well be in a minority but thinks this is harsh. There are several players less deserving of being here than him. Swift leads the way, Grady second etc etc….I don't think it's harsh at all, he has a stinking attitude, gave the worst performance by a professional player I have ever seen against Blues, takes zero responsibility and has minimal skill, he is at top end of the "get a head on out or clear it" school of centre halves but that is simply not enough, I urge anyone who doubts how bad he is to watch back the first goal at Cov, static arms behind back and does not react other than to watch the ball go past him. Woeful
