[FONT=Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif]Morning all. I've resisted posting much since Tuesday as I was so angry with 1. a particular moronic poster on here 2. the players for letting the club down at Leeds and 3. Me for letting it all wind me up![/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif]Anyway time to move on. Monday night's match is huge IMO . The club badly needs a lift and if we can come away with something then we can begin to regain some self belief. We haven't become a bad side we have just made too many individual errors and that includes Nigel. What better way to get back on track than by putting on a good show in front of a TV audience. Time to show what we are all made of![/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif]West Brom have won none of the last seven league meetings with Southampton, though five of those have ended as draws.[/FONT]
Saints have won none of their last six league games at the Hawthorns, scoring just two goals in those games, though four of the matches have been draws.
West Brom’s substitutes have provided five assists this season, more than any other club’s replacements.
The Baggies have lost their last two Premier League games to goals scored in the 90th minute, only the fourth time this has happened within eight days in Premier League history.
Southampton’s total of 26 goals conceded in their first nine matches is the worst ever defensive performance at this stage of a Premier League season and equates to 110 goals conceded over the season, 10 more than the divisional record (Swindon 1993-94)
Chris Brunt has the highest rate of crosses per 90 mins this season (10.9 per 90 mins).
Southampton have thrown away more points from winning positions than any other Premier League team this season, 11.
The Saints are the only team to have trailed in all of their Premier League games this season.
Shane Long has scored the opening goal in three games this season, only Sunderland’s Steven Fletcher (4) has done so more often.
WBA have lost their only two previous Premier League games on November 5, without scoring a single goal.
[FONT=Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif]Southampton’s only previous Premier League game on November 5 was an entertaining 3-3 draw with Manchester City in 1994.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif]I'd settle for that on Monday night!

So what do we all think? Assume it's too early for Gaston so presume it will be pretty much te side that played Spurs.

Lets hope we go for it :D Every game from now to the end of the season is going to big for us and we have to put in a great performance! 3-2 90th minute winner Mayuka :D COYR's
 
Can't see anything but a West Brom win, just hoping we don't play like we did first half v Spurs or against Leeds as its on TV
 
ok,which smart arse can name the team from the yutube game, im struggling with only 4 :confused:

I've got no idea if they were playing in that match or not, but that's when Pearson was loaning in players all over the shop. We had too many to include all of them in the match day squad at one point. So the likes of R Wright, Perry, Lucketti, and Pericard may have been involved that day.

And then there's the rubbish that he was left with, the likes of J Wright, Euell, and Licka.

There were some decent players still around through. Viafara, John, Saganowski, Surman, Ostlund I think. Rasiak and Skacel had both been loaned out.
 
2-1 defeat...we'll go one up and get pegged back straight away and concede a late goal to fall to defeat. Shane long not named in ireland squad because hes carrying an injury so should miss this. Trap said if he plays before the greek friendly then he will call him up
 
Hey Lamb, why not give someone else a go at creating a match thread. After all we seem to keep losing when you make one. I propose that if we lose on Monday you should be banned from creating match threads for the rest of the season! :p ;) :emoticon-0116-evilg
