Think price has a lot to do with Albion bringing so few.This charging top dollar for these games( when there on Sky) need to stop or the atmosphere will suffer as well as attendances .Soon games like these local derbies will just be ordinary mundane games .

As above mate

Kitching is starting
As is Bidwell
Box formation with Tats and Hopefully Allen
Wright up top

What are the chances you're wrong, 99%?

Cant wait to see how silly you look tomorrow

You dont like me do you?

I don't mind you actually, you just caused chaos on here during the Hamer saga. I look forward to seeing whether you're right, especially as that's the line-up I actually want to see.

 

[Saddlebrains]

The last 3 times I've put the lineup on here its been correct, i only put it in when im confident in what I've been told

But again, for every starting lineup he gives me thats correct, for every Palmer, Latibeaudiere, Doyle etc signing, he throws me a Gilmour and Bajcetic to make me look a c**t

So there's of course always the chance hes pulling my plonker, like to think not on this occasion

And the Hamer saga, i think its becoming even more apparent now that he took whatever offer gave him cash, despite claiming it was family issues as to why he wouldnt sign

Well, in that case I'm very excited to take my seat tomorrow and watch Wright in front of a box midfield. Didn't realise you had the last 3 line-ups correct.

Hope Robins isn't relying on the element of surprise in changing the formation

For West Broms sake, I would hope the management don't prepare their team for games based on posts off a football forum.

Pleased with the return of the box, change was needed and it’s comforting we’ve gone back to a tried and tried system. Most importantly it helps mitigate the fact we don’t really have an out and out 10 fully fit, so (assuming) it’s Sakamoto and Allen, that’s a highly energetic duo who will press and cause problems.

Plus Sakamoto can make things happen and being paired with someone else lessens the pressure on him if his positioning isn’t perfect.

Would have preferred Simms as the lone striker and I think he’s the better hold up player but equally maybe this helps Wright come good if he has two players behind feeding him.

Good to see what Kitching it all about, in his limited appearances he hasn’t looked the composed ball playing CB he was billed as, but with some proper game time I’m sure he’ll show his strengths.

Bit of pressure on this, so I hope the crowd don’t let the players sense that.

2-1 City - can’t afford anything else for the sake of players and fans confidence.

 

[Johhny Blue]

It’s time to try one up front.

(SAKOMOTO)

 

[skybluecam]

If Wright is starting I hope his head is in it. Too often recently he’s been looking at the floor from the minute he sets foot on the pitch.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Need not to lose, 0-0

 

[stevefloyd]

He’s the thinking man’s Jordi Hiwula.

Bloody hell forgot all about him...hows his career now?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Wiki tells me he’s banging them in for Ross County 1 in 21…banging it in.

At a glance, he played in England u18 and u19. I’ve often questioned the selection process for these age groups. He surely wasn’t one of the best under 19 prospects in England?

 

[stevefloyd]

The guy had at times flashes of skill but a heart the size of a peanut, now who does that remind me of? Hmmmm

Don’t say it!
I thought he looked decent at times too. He seemed to be played slightly out of position quite a bit. Or maybe that was just his lack of awareness.

Bidwell no longer starting (dunno what's happened there)

Still the box, Wright up top

Probably realised he’s played barely any minutes and isn’t match fit. I don’t understand why he’s not been given minutes in the U21s to keep him up to speed

Glad to hear we’re still going with the box and giving Wright a solo chance at proving himself.
I think Dasilva and Bidwell offer different abilities on the pitch but I don’t mind either playing, I assume Dasilva plays instead which probably gives us more attacking threat, something that we desperately need right now.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

After reading some recent, enlightening arguments on this place about xG, I'm pleased to say that we're expected to win by a scoreline of 1.67 - 1.00.

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

Forest aren’t going down this year.

No I agree

 

[jordan210]

Woke up feeling optimistic. Then remember about our horrendous corner routines. Now depressed

Just to say I appreciate the profile pic, nice to know someone else is into Garth Marenghi on here

 

[Tommo1993]

1-0 loss

 

[Ashdown]

Wright as a lone frontman…..Does he realise he’ll have to work his nuts off in that role. Be great if it works……Seems like we’re trying all combinations to try and justify our expenditure on these strikers.

Worth giving the box a go but for me it would simms up top to start. Wright when they’re tiring

 

[Jamesimus]

In my mind, I want to imagine that Wright being given a start is because he's been banging on MR's door asking for one, because he wants to prove himself.

Bidwell needs to be given minutes from today, especially if we find ourselves winning and want to shut up shop, he is ideal and his physical presence is what DaSilva doesn't have.

Really want us to show something good this evening, would settle for a draw if I see some signs of positivity.

So West Brom are only bringing 1800 tonight having managed 3500 last year and 5/6000 in the past.

Sunderland also didn't sell out despite selling out every away game.

We've thrown away 1000 tickets tonight, if they had charge £30. Add in the beers sold in the away end, that's a lot of money lost.

I was surprised to hear dasilva would be dropped in first place tbh

I think he's been decent, but in the second half against Rotherham he was very poor I thought

It was a poor performance overall but for me him and lati been best new signings

Agreed, King obviously has a poor understanding of the motivations of football fans, masked by our successful season last season

Really like Dasilva, other than Sheaf he seems the most composed on the ball. Good at retaining it and working it out of tight spaces. Good to see Bidwell get a run out though

It will likely be offset by the TV money from tonights game.
