Sorry to be a bit of a doom monger but.....I can't see us winning this one, I'm going for a 3-1 West Brom win but hope I'm bloody wrong!!
I can see us getting a third straight away draw 2-2.I don't think that'd be a bad outcome and keeps the 2 point per game average rolling. COYB!!!! As an aside I'm bemused/amused at the deluded Leeds fans who are under the impression they're reeling us in-at the rate they're doing it they'll run out of runway!!
Like the initial comments, I’m a bit concerned about this tricky away trip to an in-form West Brom side. I’m going for a 1-1 draw. Regarding the noise around Leeds reining us in, they’re in action first on Friday night away to Rotherham. We dropped points there a couple of weeks back, so hopefully they can do the same to Leeds.
I will go for a tough draw too, what with several players playing internationals and improving West Brom. 1-1, still well clear of the Whites!
What I have read on twitter & on here is that they should be top & they are actually better than us even though we seem to have more points ? Anyway, 1-2 win for us !
Interesting dilemma for KM, does Taylor deserve a start? One of our best impact subs who scores great goals. Lets hope Burns is fit to play, we have missed him.
This would be my starting 11 Hladky Williams Tuenzebe Burgess Leif Morsy Taylor Chaplin Burns Broadhead Hirst
A strong 11, and agree with it. Time for Williams to shine, as the Baggies will be testing that flank. I suspect KM will stick with Luongo, and bring on Taylor later to score! Whatever else, we must come out the blocks snorting, no shilly shally conceding goals in first 10 mins.
This is a big test for us but at least we have a fully fit squad to choose from, so if we play well i would be more than happy with a point which would be a Hell of an achievement for our team which is almost entirely the same as our Lg1 side of last season, but if WBA get away to a quick start i can see a long hard struggle for us, as for the win? as much as it would be fantastic i cant really see it against an in form team away from home.
Still don't think it's time for Tuenzebe, needs a few more minutes, especially against a very tough opponent. Another defeat im afraid, 3-1 baggies with a sending off for captain morsy
Leeds drawing makes tomorrow's game a little less worrying. If we drop points it's no major disaster but if we win.....whoop whoop!
Try to win each and every game, including today. Then try and win the next one. Leeds dropping points doesn’t mean we can relax; that’s not how you get automatic promotion. If we can extend our lead over the rest of this year the other sides will be demoralised.
A point away to a good West Brom team would be far from a bad result. I agree with Hampy though - regardless, we should be targeting a win today. I’m sure that’s what McKenna and the players will be hoping to achieve. If we can end this weekend on 42 points, it would be brilliant. And as threatening as Leeds have looked, we’re also contending with another recently relegated side in Southampton, who have been on good form.
