    The Jones Enigma

    I think Jones has more natural talent than either of those two.

    The Jones Enigma

    I think that you underestimate how good he was.

    Kelly Staying?

    No he didn’t. Kelly was instrumental in our staying up last season personified by his performance in the crucial game at Rotherham. No coincidence that in the games he played we picked up far more points than in the games he missed. This season he really hasn’t been able to put any great run of...

    The Jones Enigma

    I think he’s got better the more minutes he has played. Not surprisingly, he seemed a bit wary of contact in his first few appearances. I think his half hour plus at Southampton saw him running at players again, something that he did yesterday too. The other players obviously have confidence in...

    The Penalty

    Didn’t their guy’s injury occur in added time? If so then the extra two minutes would have come from that. Overall he probably still played only 3 minutes.

    The Jones Enigma

    The point that I made still stands though, at the very period of the season where it is likely he would have played, he was injured again. You’re right that there have been times when he could have been used but wasn’t. I would also far sooner see Jones coming on than Shipley. The fact is...

    The Penalty

    I thought the fact that he only allowed 3 minutes of added time was poor. There were six subs which should have been 3 minutes for that alone. ( I know two of ours came on together). We had the palava with the penalty plus the usual time wasting goal celebration. And then we had their goalkeeper...

    The Jones Enigma

    The period when he was most likely to be used, where we were really down to 11 or 12 first team players available, he was injured. I think he has only been available for the last four or five games and could still have been feeling the effects of the latest injury. I think Jones has shown enough...

    The Jones Enigma

    I think you’re right. He has had a couple of spells out due to COVID. He was also missing from the squad for what must have been at least 6 weeks recently (when he most probably would have got game time) due to a problem with his knee. (I think Better Days mentioned this).

    Sky Blue Army

    We were sat in the stand next to the away end and it sounded loud to me. The Albion fans were almost disinterested until they got the pen. Never been in the Hawthorns when it has been so quiet. On a side note, I was impressed with the stand we were in (the one opposite the players tunnel)...

    Robins

    I think the first two seasons were about staying up, although there were some memorable games and performances in there.The third season we were great and winning plenty of matches, particularly away from home. It was really season four and five that did for him. Crowds dropped dramatically, we...

    Robins

    I think you’re right. There was a much more level playing field during the time that Hill, Cantwell and Milne were in charge. The retained system of players meant that the club was very much in control of their playing staff. It would be hard to see a player of Tommy Hutchison’s quality staying...

    Robins

    He inherited a team that was made up of good third division players, Clarke, Wilson, Fleck, Baker, Christie, Moussa, Willis and Murphy. When a lot of these were forced out of the club due to Sisu cost cutting, the replacements Pressley brought in were abysmal. The football was dire too. The side...

    Robins

    The football the team has produced this season has been better than in most of our 34 top flight seasons. The quality of the games too has been better than in most of those seasons. You cannot take anything away from JH. He totally transformed the club, not just the team, but he was working...
