Want Burnley to go up in 2nd. Sheff Utd are beatable, as are Sunderland. Weirdly, it's the Baggies I want to avoid, as I rarely feel confident against them.

Swansea and Preston broken already, why not West Brom too.

he can hardly track midfielders in his condition

Didn't look ready to play today - physically or mentally - totally switched off for their goal.ehere his man just spun away from him.
A gamble that backfired for Wilder.
Let's not kid ourselves though that when fit he's pretty much the best midfielder in the division.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Blackburn apparently appointing Ismael

What would your thoughts be on that? Play off experience with Barnsley but basically failure at West Brom and Watford

 

[shmmeee]

Ideal is

Leeds
Burnley
Sheff Utd
City
Sunderland
Non-descript chasing team #3 (WBA/Bburn/Norwich/etc)

Second leg at home, Sheff Utd in the final so we can see O’Hares heart break in real time and give Hamer a final clap off.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

With Hamer I can never tell if it’s his build or he’s unfit. I’d love to be a fly on the wall and see what his diets like

O'Hare to miss the deciding pen in front of the SBA

Would you be more turned on by watching Hamer eating doner kebabs all night or O Hare shagging your Mrs?

I think he is quite heavy set but he is carrying a bit of extra timber. He's exceptionally fit to be fair to him, but you think what he could be if he looked after himself better

 

[SBbucks]

Sheff Utd have some team! That amount of quality on the bench.. jheeze!

I think I’d rather play boring Burnley than Sheff Utd or Leeds if we got to the playoffs.

Don’t worry, nobody is playing Leeds in the playoffs.

COH only if he wore the sunglasses though

 

[Great_Expectations]

Tried to find a still/photo of Hamer from the game tonight as I wasn’t fully watching so couldn’t see how bad he was - and I really want to after reading the comments in here now!

He's undoubtedly half the size of those criticising his physique and as a fat c**t I'm justified in saying that!

 

[rob9872]

Also he'd walk back into our team. Still didn't enjoy seeing everyone give him the reacharound on his return though.

Why not Hamer eating kebabs watching O'Hare shag his missus?

Only way they're going to get him to track the opposition is if they register all the opposition players as UberEats drivers.

didn't think he looked outrageous, just slightly heavy. More the fact he was always a step off the pace.

 

[clint van damme]

He'd have to, he couldn't run back in to it.

 

[David O'Day]

He'd have to, he couldn't run back in to it.

The correct term I believe is currently "waddle back into our team"

 

[Sick Boy]

He’s a lot bigger compared to the play-off final season.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

To be fair to Hamer, he was obviously carrying an injury last night (otherwise he'd have been in the starting line up) I hope they keep playing him and he's a knacker by the time we play them later in the season, be that league or play offs, as, regardless of the mockery, he has carried them all season. Last night was the exception, rather than the norm.

carrying more than an injury

A lot if it could be psychological. When with us he pushed for his dream as much as he could. Failed at the last hurdle. Left us to pursue his dream of playing in the Prem. A bigger wage came with it. But he loved his time with us. Loved by the supporters and felt like one of us.

Plays a season in the Prem in a side not good enough. Gets beaten most games. About the only player good enough to be there. Read somewhere he got reprimanded for wanting to watch our games with our supporters. It didn't sit well with theirs

Now back in the Championship and being played mainly on the left. Lost the buzz for playing for them. Still tries to win games with them but not 100% with things like lifestyle choices. Has played with slight injuries a few times. Treated like a commodity and not a hero like with us. Heard they put a 35m price on his head. That scared everyone away. So stuck at a club he doesn't exactly want to be with. But he made the choice when he decided to follow his dream.

Yes and we have an opportunity to break that before the end of the season.

Home record not too bad against West Brom is it?

 

[Robinshio]

I did a pessimistic predictor with us getting 13 points from the next 8
put us level with WBA going into the WBA game with just the 4 to go

I think our last 3 are all winnable, so if that was the position a draw with WBA and then another 6 points from the last 3 would get us to 70 which is more or less enough

 

[skybluelee]

Home record not too bad against West Brom is it?

Um...

I think its 5 losses in our last 8 home games against them including the FAC match.

 

[SonofErnie]

More an anecdotal feel than looking back at history. Recently we’ve struggled against them.

 

[lordsummerisle]

Last minute pen by Gyokeres win a couple of years ago, can't remember last seasons game at all!

Very bland team West Brom though, immediately forget about any game against them.

Just a proper dull yo-yo team for so long. Problem with that is eventually you will fuck it if you keep doing that over and over and then you just end up another mediocre Championship team. Their journey towards that is almost complete.

 

[edgy]

Not sure if mentioned but two significant injuries for Sunderland. Ballard and Le Fee expected to be out for 6-8 weeks.

I remember them beating us 0-4 and 0-5 both at The CBS one season

They beat us at home last season as well BTA scored despite being blatantly offside

Remember Thomas-Asante scoring here at one point in time

I've got a couple of mates who are Sheff Utd fans and their fans love him. He looked overweight at the start of last season for us as well.

Probably because they always seem to beat us! I'm pretty sure we've only beaten them 3 or 4 times since we got relegated from the PL.

I'd be fuming if one of our players came on to the pitch in the state Hamer was last night, (not that it would happen).
I wouldn't swap him for Rudoni.
