West Brom (Home) Pre Match Thread - Jan 5th

[Mickyblueeyes]

I just want to see what the turnips do if we get proper spanked. Like we’ve been spanked multiple times over the last few years but a proper spanking 7-0. Can’t believe I’m saying that but honestly want to see what the brain dead who clap it all do. The social media posts after the game. Surely they won’t post mindless quotes from Cifeuntes and a player with the usual, “must try harder” rubbish.

Making the most of my sky sports for this one, I'll still have a flask of tea and prawn sarnie to hand though for authenticity.  Might even pop down the offie to see if they'll do me a pint can of chang for a fiver so I'm not missing out. 

I think it's on uhd channel too, so I can see the looks of desertion in the players eyes at kick off whistle, and fellow fans in the stand munching and sipping along with clappers at the fore.

Oh and the game, probably another step towards the abyss I'm afraid.  But that's all ok, we're KPFC.

Not going to be great, fans staying away, Monday night when most people are back at work, they not doing that well either 0-0 written all over it, well a least at the start.

Makes me smile when people suggest teams here before the game.

I think they just pick whoever turns up and an hour before kick off go and round up a few subs.

Can`t think of any other explanation for how bad they`ve been for most of this season

Not that he's been any good but hopefully the break will be enough for Ricardo to play again.

Try something different. 

 

 

Totally agree. If not now, then when? I had a similar back 3 but would go with a 3-5-2. As both wingers are hopelessly out of form, I’d drop both and have the option to jig it around second half.

honestly a proper pasting (like 5 or more goals) is what it will take to get some of the KPFC fans to question the board, and even then it'd need to happen several times before they'd stop hiding behind the idea that he's trying his best and we're still being punished for showing ambition. As if spending £112m on a spine of Ward; Faes, Vestegaard; Soumare, Skipp; Daka was ambitious rather than down right negligence.

It'll be the fault of the negativity inside the ground  in the fanbase instead. If we just got behind this woefully underprepared, under-equipped waster squad and the mediocre manager and ownership we'd batter teams

I'd happily see that back 3 but just don't think Ricardo has it in him to play wing back anymore. 

[Dan]

Guaranteed bad performance. Two rubbish sides. Maybe the luck swingometer will fall our way this week. If it does then you can be sure of defeat at Cheltenham.

[Corky]

The true fans of this club will be there. Applauding the owner, the lads, the video and each other.

 

Thank God that entitled, nasty lot won't be.

Just watch us scrape a draw or a random shithouse win and then the circus continues 

[Number 6]

Feel this will be a bit like the Derby game. Two poor sides, winner will be whoever makes the fewest mistakes.

I shall be listening to this on the radio. Shame to miss what is obviously going to be a festival of football played to the very highest standard, but there you go. I suspect that I'll get over it in time.

[StevieH]

We are so light weight. The only players that have that physical presence are Nelson and Okoli. Stol not big or aggressive enough in goal. Thomas and Ricardo too light weight. Second goal last night Thomas was muscled out of it twice. Skipp and JJ don't have that physical presence in midfield although JJ makes up for it in other ways. BDR way too small. We aren't a physical side which is what you need in the Championshi. We get muscled out of games so easily. Sheff Utd last night looked big and strong and we couldn't cope with it. Need to recruit bigger more aggressive players.

[whoareyaaa]

Think I have had enough don't think I will watch this on TV or any other games this season, no manager is fixing this.

Agree. Might get an hour out of him, though. 🤷. God knows who replaces him, though ? Could Fatawu do 30-40 minutes?? 🤔

[Osavo]

You're mental if you even want a discussion about this game. 1-3. Marti still doesn't get the boot (because we can't afford it). 

[Rubbersoul]

You could probably put out the u21s and they’d play no worse. 
 

As everyone predicted we lost to Sheffield Utd so probably means we beat West Brom and then lose the next two and on we go 

Our next 10 league games and I bet it’ll go something close to this if Marti gets them all: 

 

WBA H Win 

Coventry A Loss 

Wrexham A Loss

Oxford H Win 

Charlton H Draw

Birmingham A Loss

Southampton H Draw 

Stoke A Loss

Middlesbrough A Loss

Norwich H Win

Wasn't West Brom at home last time in the Championship the game that Hamza played out of his skin to help keep them at bay and was MOTM by a street?

 

 

 

 

[RedSoxUK]

                        Stolarczyk

Aluko - Vestergaard - Nelson - Thomas 

                          Skipp

 BDR  -  James  -  Page  -  Monga 

                          Daka 

 

Thomas just because there's no one else. Aluko RB where he is comfortable, more as a wing back allowing BDR to drift in somewhat free. Thomas usual shite doing absolutely nothing. Page as an 8 / joining Daka in the press.
