foxy boxing Posted 28 April 2017 Posted 28 April 2017 We really need to win this one and certainly not lose it! I really hope the players aren't mentally drained after the Arsenal defeat. We need the same level of effort and commitment along with more attacking ant getting the ball out wide more and the front players making decent runs into the box. It is going to take another huge defensive effort especially at set pieces against these. We really need the big players to start stepping up for the rest of the season and getting the points needed.
yorkie1999 Posted 28 April 2017 Posted 28 April 2017 If we can't beat west brom at the moment we want fvcking. Star striker out, main playmaker out team looking knackered and playing poorly (according to my mate). No excuses for sitting back in this one.

A stretched hamstring is often the kind of injury that tempts you to think it's mended when it's not. In light training sessions you don't put the same strain on it that you do in a match so the tendency is to take a risk and then wish you hadn't. It's unfortunate but far better we don't made an iffy situation worse and then have no chance to put Morgan in for the home games which lay ahead. I know it's risking brinkmanship but to risk losing Morgan for the rest of the season would be senseless.

I speak from personal experience when I say that a hamstring is a foul, nasty, black-hearted bitch of an injury. Missed my sophomore year of American football in college due to chronic hamstring issues dating back to my senior year of upper school. Groin injuries are similar, from what I gather. Neither should be risked.

Neither should be risked. Hamstrings typically take 6/7 weeks to heal fully. If you play on a weakened hammy, you'll do more damage. Groin strain hurts big time. You literally can't kick the ball without it killing.

Surely there's no need to take any risks with Wes anyway as Benny is proving to be a good backup.

Albert Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 I'd take a point now but fancy us for the 3 as West Brom seem to be on the beach already. They'll be plenty of fire in our bellys after that Arsenal game also. This fixture brings back some great memories. Steve Howard hat trick a few years back and obviously the last minute Vardy goal in the great escape. That goals up there in my favourite goals as a City fan. For me that goal, that moment, that spirit was the spark for everything that has had happened since
HybridFox Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 Would love this to be like the game we beat them in the Great Escape. Gunning for Vards to get a goal tomorrow

They'll also have more freedom without having to try and work a shooting opportunity from the wings. Yep, Mahrez
BirminghamFox Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 Taking my mate to this one, he's never seen us lose!!
foxes21 Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 Perhaps the defensive approach against Arsenal was to help preserve energy levels for this game? It's very hard to play our usual high press and intense style of play twice in 3 days. So from a fitness levels perspective, the defensive approach made sense against Arsenal. Our players should be fresh, playing at a high tempo and on the front foot against West Brom.

HighPeakFox Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 Too reasonable everyone. Someone say something hateful...

Gerard Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 I'll take a point all day long here. It's massive when you're on 37pts just to edge a bit closer to survival just in case something disastrous happens. West Brom are ideal opponents today as they have the least to play for in the league, no chance of the top 7 and no chance of relegation.
Blue ROI Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 The most favorable game we've had since Sunderland but after the recent dip a win isnt a given. A draw would do very nicely and Hull not to win. I'd like to have Gray and Slim in the starting 11. Might be the kind of game that would suit Slimani. With survival not yet assured there wont be too many changes you would imagine.
Livid Posted 29 April 2017 Posted 29 April 2017 A Pulis bollocking could drag them off the beach. Honestly no idea how this is going to go. End of season games are such a lottery.
