    [Albion] Albion's BEST ever January signing

    Voted Knocky, for the immediate impact/transformational aspects, but DS was very close and as others have said, he was so important to us for so long. His partnership with Kayal was great to watch and people forget how good we was going forward. The combination of the two at Selhurst was a...

    [Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

    I think we can be sure there are some that say they "expect a win" or that will use the failure to win as a huge issue and that Fulham are apparently dreadful. I wont settle for a draw just yet, because I think we are better than them over the course of the season so far, but not by much, so...

    [Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

    I also think it could happen, and argue that we want the win badly and the benfits momentum built etc. would of course be fantastic, but just think Fulham need it more than we do.

    [Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

    Mixed feeling about Fulham - I agree that whilst they are looking better, they have been no better than us and the plaudits that others have given them, an upturn in form has not delivered any wins since the end of November and are the same results with which we have been criticised for. They...

    [Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

    I love the Villa angst.. complaining about a rule that you didn't know existed is frankly hilarious .. the rule that Smith so easily dismisses as "pathetic" is similar in sentiment to the process that attacking players have used for years.. stand in an offside position for Phase I and then can...

    [Football] Concussion subs to be allowed in PL

    I welcome this, but as others have suggested, teams will be already working out how they can use it to their advantage! I wasn't sure of the wording on the Club website "with the opposite team being able to use the equivalent number" - does this mean that if a team brings on a sub for...

    [Albion] Our strongest XI

    I think this is impossible, which is great for the Club.. My conundrums.. If we play with 3 CBs, then I think we get the absolute most out of Webster on the right, Dunk in the middle. In that scenario, BDB would be my preference on the left of the 3.. I think we lose too much of the positive...

    [Football] Your bottom 3. Mid Season edition.

    Thats exactly what I mean.. I understand that games vs. the current bottom 3 look like they are the easiest to win, but likewise, we look that way for them too - losing is a huge risk so often we end up with stalemate. The teams you list are the ones I think we will gain more points from than...

    [Football] Your bottom 3. Mid Season edition.

    I genuinely don't assume we will beat Fulham. We are capable and might do, but I think we have seen they will be really well organised and we know that we , if they don't make big errors, struggle to break down teams that sit (as do lots of teams).. I really think it will be a draw, as I think...

    [Football] Your bottom 3. Mid Season edition.

    I also think Sheff Utd and West Brom, joined by Fulham I think with Newcastle and us just getting away with it. Fulham have had a relative upturn in form, but that has resulted in draws. I think ultimately this will be decided not in the games between the sides at the bottom, most of which will...

    [Albion] ** BHA v Blackpool ** - FA Cup Score Predictor - Now in its 10th SEASON !!

    Gone for 2-0 to us.. but as always I think this could be anything you like.. we could absolutely hammer them at a canter, we could get beaten - cant break then down, set piece disaster. Instead I settled for comfortable 2-0 win, goals before half-time, everyone takes it easy 2nd half..

    [Football] Lallana, Welbeck, Connolly, Lamptey injuries?

    I agree - if fit, I am not convinced he will automatically start and also think Veltman has been great with, certainly far fewer , but some promising forays forward. Not convinced that he (GP) will see Fulham as leaving the spaces for Lamptey to use his pace, so suspect he might hold him back?

    [Football] Bernado to Salzburg

    I'm disappointed how his time here has played out.. I think its the right thing for him BTW, as I think his confidence has taken such a knock, he is not the player he was or could have been for us. I remember being so pleased when he arrived that we had what looked like (and i think was...

    [Football] Sheffield United.

    I never quite get this statement. Isn't that just what the table is meant to do - every season, rank the teams?

    [Albion] Injury time inconsistencies

    As so many have said, the things that "they" (Those in charge) have meddled, with, had a go at sorting, and this appears (to many of us at least) the easiest thing to change/manage/improve. For ease : In Normal Time : get a sensible, pragmatic approach - stop the clock : every time a goal is...

    [Albion] What is more important to you as an Albion fan.

    Havent read all responses, but assume mine will be similar to some if not many. Ultimately I will support and have done despite the various standards/quality being dished up. I get passionate at either end of the table, can celebrate a horrible 1-0 win which is critical to stay up, as much as...

    [Albion] March

    Isn't that true of most throw-ins? That's where the free man tends to be isn't it? Not sure I've noticed his are any more backwards than anyone else's, but to be honest haven't been looking that closely? If they are, that one last night was a development for you!! It was sideways...:)

    [Albion] March

    The corners were awful.. but as plenty have said, far more positives than negatives this season. I don't agree with people about the throw-in.. it obviously ended in a mess, but to be honest, it was a gamble at 0-1 to try and guarantee possession in the 92nd minute to make sure we didn't simply...

    [Albion] Potter In, before anyone starts a poll

    I absolutely agree that the games through February against the bottom 6 are obvious best chance for wins, but to be honest, I look at 5th down and honestly think there are no teams in there who it would be a massive shock if we were to pick points up from them - whether they can be wins or not...
