Why?!

It's only natural after the keeper has kept a clean sheet

[fernandopartridge]

Looking forward to this, but not the M6. I'll be more than pleased with a draw. Set us up nicely for an easy home victory on Saturday!

Can't you get the train?

 

[ptr]

They look decent tbf. Very organised side who like getting it in the box. Norm is going to have to start and give those two mountains at the back something to think about.

 

[Flying Fokker]

We could have done with SU Burtows in our side.

 

[torchomatic]

Can't you get the train?

Could do, but never do. Booked parking in a Wickes, so all set.

 

[Captain Dart]

Could do, but never do. Looked parking in a Wickes, so all set.

Don't Wickes use ANPR, they certainly do in Coventry as I got ticketed because I stayed over 1 hour when discussing bathrooms with one of their sales people (I wanted a quote to compare with other vendors). I got them to withdraw the ticket which arrived about 2 weeks after my chat but it was hassle I could have done without.

Didn't make myself clear. I used a Parking app which allows me to park there.

I meant "booked" not "looked".

Can really drop EMC so u would go with.

................Collins
MVE Thomas Lati Bidwell
.......Sheaf...
.......Torp............Rudoni...
Saka.....Bassette ...EMC

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Might be tempted to go like this (BTA up top to have a go against his old team)

……………Dovin
MVE Thomas Lati Bidwell
….…. Sheaf… Eccles or Rudoni
…………… Torp
Saka ……………. EMC
………………BTA

 

[Johhny Blue]

Take a draw!

Do I have to say it again?

 

[Marty]

Got a feeling we'll rotate a few. Maybe bring in Kitching for a more physical presence.

 

[Macca]

Zero expectation . Point would be incredible

 

[Tommo1993]

Very tough game.

Very tough game.

They’ve won 1 of their last 13.

 

[Sick Boy]

We never seem to win there. I can only remember us winning there once in recent memory, nearly 20 years ago.

 

[Tommo1993]

They’ve won 1 of their last 13.

They still have a squad of very good players.

 

[fernandopartridge]

They are a decent side regardless and difficult to beat

December 2007 it was

 

[CovValleyBoy]

They still have a squad of very good players.

Was there when we lost 7-1 in the league. Went back shortly after in the FACup lost 4-0 I think.
Genuine dislike for Hawthorns ground. A point would be precious.

 

[JSL]

Are we sold on Lati as LCB after one game on his wrong foot? Yes he excelled, but is it a long term solution?

 

[blunted]

I didn't see too much wrong with that disallowed goal if I'm being honest. He was very lucky.

The EFL show said it was a foul. They are unbiased.

4-2, Mifsud 2 Best 2. That's the only one I remember. We're usually awful against them away and home too for the most part.

100% better defender than Binks, even if he only has 1 foot.

Probably not the long term answer, but he deserves to keep the shirt for another game at least.

 

[fatso]

The EFL show said it was a foul. They are unbiased.

So someone on the EFL show, who wasn't at the game, had an opinion. So what?

 

[blunted]

Never turned up last year. Bogey ground. So many bad results in the past. Real test even though they have lost a lot of good players and seem to draw a lot of games. Corberan is a great manager and there is a strong rumour he will go to Wolves..

 

[JSL]

Agreed he deserved another go but when he plays RCB he isn't great. Just found it odd all that after one game he was in all the above suggested teams as LCB

 

[blunted]

So someone on the EFL show, who wasn't at the game, had an opinion. So what?

Think they have a pretty good view and the benefit of replays. They don't always agree with refs.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lati played his first few games for us as a left side centre back to be fair

 

[fatso]

Think they have a pretty good view and the benefit of replays. They don't always agree with refs.

Thankfully the only opinion that matters was the ref's.
I thought the ref was very brave to disallow the goal and 2 penalty appeals, many refs would of given the home team something.

It's about time we had a decent ref.

 

[Frostie]

Incredible form.

Same ref as Middlesborough. Brave to correctly send their player off.

I think the high altitude will do for us!🫣

 

[Covcraig@bury]

He’s tried Norm, he’s tried Simms, I wonder if he will give BTA go against his former club.

Maybe try the dog and bone together as a two up front ?

 

[Paxman II]

WBA are due a win or a defeat when you look at the amopunt of drawsthey have had! So it will go one way or the other...
lamps needs to show tactical skill here, a bigger test than Millwall. They are strong in the air so a worry if Lati plays in a CB position. We will need to defend well and stop Grant from running midfield. Bassette will get nothing from these so Simms must start. We will need physicality. You always have that feeling a returning player tends to score against you. Step up Asante. It could be our day...or not.

After a clean sheet in goodness knows how many games, surely we should not change the defence.
