...I would say, what we have seen, is the most he is willing to give us!!!

I'm looking on the positive side.

Rather than having to wait until 5pm to be disappointed and annoyed I can get it out of the way earlier in the day!

Can't see anything but a heavy defeat..

3-0 Baggies.

They have written some stuff at times that makes absolutely no sense unless it is reworded / restructured

That your excuse for not bothering slacker? 👀

Love to know how anyone gets to this level of thinking.

 

If anyone in this league beats us by a 3 goal margin this season your beer money for the first game of next season is on me!

Is that everyone or just Weller?

All it will take is someone to accept our “gifts”

Cannon to play 0 minutes..early prediction

I think Cannon will only get on when we are pissing a match. And I think that's probably right at the minute. Our experienced strikers are really struggling to impose themselves this season, so if he starts and has a similar barren spell the fans will get on his case and the idea that he's shit will soon start whiffing about, even though it might be a system issue. And if he doesn't start and we're in need of a goal I think Enzo will go for the experienced/proven striker for half an hour rather than lump the pressure on Cannon.  He'll have to be played come January, but before that I think Enzo will want to introduce him in a no/low pressure situation, ie 2 or 3 up with 25 minutes to play. We've just not had many since Cannon got back to fitness.

 

Of course he'll start on Saturday now.

 just weller!!

 

Also, clear on the 3 goal “margin”  I’m sure someone will stick 3 past us… just sounds an open game so fancy us to at least get 2 in reply!

I don't know. I don't think he's not willing, he just don't look settled to me. He didn't want to come here to begin with did he, wanted to go Italy apparently.

 

Moved to Chelsea at a young age, farmed out to reading.. smashed it in the summer for Italy.. just doesn't seem right, and he doesn't suit the system.

 

Whatever it is, I'd like him out the squad.. but I don't think it's an unwillingness, maybe he just needs to be back in his homeland

You know it’s coming. I mean, this is FT. Another defeat and the knives will be twinkling like fairy lights.

A different team and a different approach so I’m hoping a totally different display - im going 2-1 us

Again. Don’t doubt someone might score three. Just no chance we lose a game 3-0 IMO

You actually quoted a 3 goal margin, not 3-0 🍺🍺🍺

I know, point still stands, anyone who scores four against us isn’t going unanswered  and so on…

Any of you boys going by train? Ive heard that there is severe disruption to service tomorrow.

Despite our recent downturn in form and West Broms run we haven’t conceded more than one goal in any of our games this season in the league.

If we do lose I can’t see it being by 3 goals like many have mentioned. Tight game I think and one in which will probably suit us due to West Brom not being as defensively minded as other teams. 
 

I’ll go for a 2-1 win.

I tend to agree. Look at the relevant points:

 

Midday game not one of our strong points.

 

On TV another bad omen.

 

Playing away putting extra pressure on us against a good side.

 

Dip in fom as we are not playing that well at the moment.

 

Difficult game this.

 

[Daggers]

Release the Cannon

 

 

[Stopharage]

Enzo prioritised tomorrow’s game and rotated accordingly. 

 

Far better to target wins against your immediate rivals, even if it leads to draws at lesser teams. We end up with 4 points from Wednesday/Brom  it’s better that the win comes from the Brom game as that means they only pick up 3 points in their 2 games. Winning at Weds then a draw at Brom, gives Brom 4 points. That’s numberwang. 
 

Disclaimer: This post will self-destruct if we get beaten tomorrow.

...I think it is a strange perception that we will perform better with a team that comes at us!!!

We are not great when pressed, we struggle to handle it, we get penned in and we try to play out and give the ball away and offer up chances. I would rather we come up against a team with a "deep block" than a team on the front foot and dictating how the game plays out.

  WBA are not going to be sitting back, they will pick up man to man, they will get chances early and we will give up an early goal. We must dissuade them from pressing us, matching their formation for this game, or pushing for overloads in certain areas. What we continue to do is not working.

Yes. 

 

Train strikes with some services.. the Birmingham to Stansted, Stansted to Birmingham(passes through Leicester) route is fine.

You won't have to wait til 5pm there's some more positivity for you.

Play A midfield three of KDH, Winks and Ndidi for 90 minutes and no one in this league beats us. 
I don’t care who else plays anywhere, that midfield three is the secret to us winning the league. It’s no surprise that the recent run of poor results and performances has coincided with Ndidi being out injured.
