[Albion] Pre Season Friendly vs West Brom @ Amex - Saturday 5th September, ***2pm***

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

How are we ending pre season with fewer strikers than we started with, it's a novel approach.

 

[GT49er]

Nice shot by March, just wide - but why in earth didn't Gross swing across a centre when he had a chance just before that?

 

[dolphins]

Presuming not but do yellow cards in friendlies carry over into the season itself?

 

[AmexRuislip]

I reckon about now would be a good time to bring Murray on.



...Oh.

He well might come for Watford, seeing they are leading 2-0 v Spuds.

Because there is literally no presence in the box?

You could be talking about most games since we reached the PL

 

[Steve Foster]

I’ve got an idea. I think we should sign another striker/forward. One with a physical presence and who can finish (no Murray jokes allowed here). No goals in open play in 2 friendly’s.

That’s a brill idea. If only someone had mentioned that to the hierarchy at the club in the last 5 years.
Oh well who wants mid table mediocrity when we can continue with our own mini bottom 6 league

 

[seaford]

If Stephens is the answer, what is the question?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

No zip anywhere in or around the penalty area. Thinking slowly, acting slowly.

Quite. Goes back to the forward discussion.
Hughton was given nothing and neither has Potter.

This game is a great reminder of why i don't do friendlies. You learn very little and it's all just so boooooooring. It will all be very different next weekend.

 

[bluenitsuj]

We are no threat whatsoever

 

[vagabond]

Have to say I think Solly’s had a really good game.

 

[seaford]

Got to say, also, Mac Allister has not done himself any favours.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Solly has played well.

Am I allowed to say that?

You’d think the season had started from the comments on this thread. No points available today and Leeds lost 3-0 to Stoke and Spurs are losing 2-0 to Watford. We are actually doing quite well here and we are missing a few of our better players too

It’s pre season, don’t stress!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Bissouma’s just totally ploughed the field!

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Sure the pitch looks awful again. Ball bobbling with just simple passes. It's been a bit of a state for years now.

 

[Napper]

guess pre seasons mean nothing , seen us have poor ones and do alright and good ones and go down.

Some concerns for sure but potter will prob learn from this game rather than a routine 4-0

 

[Mike Small]

Difficult to argue with that. Beyond brief positive appearances against Wolves and Arsenal, Mac Allister has done very little.

ABSOLUTELY this. I find the whole NSC clamour and confidence for McCallister weird (although it is quite a NSC thing to be fair). The lamented Propper and Gross offer much more. Technically good of course but no pace or power at this level so can’t go past people. It would help him if there were quicker players in the team to give him more space but he’s not going to help us score the way things are now.
