I know I know but it’s non stop with playing three games a week every week. So here we are Home hoodoo laid to rest Carry on with the away form and we’re laughing City to win 2-1
Nothing between the two teams at the moment. (Well, except Cardiff). Each won 6, drawn 5, lost 3. They've scored 2 more than us and conceded 2 less. A draw wouldn't be a bad result but every chance of a win if we keep up our good form of late.
Let's see the recent improvements continue, a goal from a set piece would be great for everyone as it's been way to long. I'd stick with Greaves at lb. Not sure twine had done enough to warrant a start but wouldn't be surprised to see the same starting 11 as least week
I think we can go into any away game this season and fancy a win which is great. But as you say....a draw would be a good point here
Tough one this, would.love to see us come away with something, but not gonna lie, think we may struggle against the pace of their lad up front. Hope is eternal !
July 14 was officially registered as national Black Country Day because it is the anniversary of the invention of the world's first steam engine. The Newcomen Engine was created in the Black Country in 1712. Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, from Kingswinford in the Black Country, were among the founding fathers of America. The couple were early immigrants to the American colonies, going there in 1627 (or according to other accounts in 1637-39) possibly on a second crossing of the Mayflower, with four of their six children. They at first settled in Salem but moved to New York after being persecuted for being Quakers. Their descendants were said to include Winston Churchill and US president Richard Nixon. In addition, it's been said that other descendants include Solomon Southwick, who printed some of the first copies of the Declaration of Independence after it was adopted in 1776, and Alfred Southwick, who invented the electric chair as an alternative to hanging. The team were formed as the West Bromwich Strollers in 1879 by workers from the George Salters works, as they had to walk a few miles up the road to Wednesbury to buy their first football. . They became West Bromwich Albion after one year, in 1880. They're known as the throstles (a thrush) or baggies, but nobody really knows why. Bromwich means broom village, and there is no north east or south Bromwich, but the town is split into two constituencies, West Bromwich East and West Bromwich West. West Brom's ground, the Hawthorns, is the highest ground in England and it was the first British ground to use electronic turnstile counters. Ron Saunders managed both Albion and Birmingham in 1985/86 and both teams were ultimately relegated. West Brom won only four games over the whole season ... and their reserve team went down as well. Manager Jimmy Hagan once provoked defender Don Howe into leading a players' strike. Hagan was famous for upsetting his players: in his first managerial job at Peterborough, seven players had demanded to be put on the transfer list. At The Hawthorns, the players found Hagan's training routines boring. One winter morning, Howe and other players refused to train unless they were allowed to wear tracksuit bottoms. The team went on strike. Once peace had been restored, Howe left the club anyway. Full-back George Shaw played in West Brom's two Cup finals in the 1930s and remained active as a player-coach with Floriana of Malta until he was almost 50. He is thought to be the last England international born in the 19th century ... and for some reason he was nicknamed 'Teapot'. The Birmingham and District Cricket League is the oldest cricket league in the world.
It is the highest league ground in England The highest ground is Buxton. Some people seem to know why they are known as The Throstles or The Baggies. I worked in Birmingham for a while decades ago when WBA were the top team round there and a WBA fan in the office, who was revelling in it, told me the reasons. Read confirmation of them in various pieces.
Depends who plays a low box. (Actually heard that used for the first time by GlennMurray on SKY tonight saying Fulham had started with a low box.).
Like one or two others, I wouldn't be surprised if we came away with a win, but a draw would also be okay. Morton back in alongside Seri, I guess the other 2 questions will be does Greaves stay at LB and does Twine move to the wing with Traore to the 10 role or stick with Lokilo on the other wing to Jaden and Twine as the 10?
Hoping we can keep the good results going, would take a point before the game but think we have the edge quality wise to dominate if everyone keeps their heads. Traore has to stay in for me but hard to keep Morton out, Traore put a hell of a defensive shift in though… something I feel we’ve missed all season in the deeper role.
