A lot of confidence on an Albion win.
One win doesn't make us promotion hopefuls!
Blackburn will be a handful & I think Rhodes will score. If they score first, same old, we won't over turn, however I think we will chase the game & probably concede a second before getting a late goal. As usual...
Gone for the safe option of a 1-1 draw.
Still a bit concerned as to our lack of firepower & can't see CMS, Barnes & Ulloa all being in the starting 11 at the same time.
Think we have the squad to get into the playoffs but the manager is too cautious.
Lots of confidence on the predictor. Not feeling as confident as some. Our record at Hillsborough is not good. Think i'll wait to see if we bolst our defence today before making a decision.
I listed every single game where the Albion conceded first. The whole point of this thread is, if we concede first we don't win! So yes we either draw or lose a match if we go a goal down!
Looking at last season, just at league games, the following teams ALL scored first. In every game, we failed to WIN:
Leicester A, Leeds H, West Ham H, Watford A, Southampton A, Middlesbrough A, Burnley A, Reading A, Coventry A, Crystal Palace A, Millwall H, Cardiff H, Blackpool A, N.Forrest A...
Yes, quite correct it will go up to 74 games.
A good side such as Man U, Chesea etc sometimes go a goal behind. However, they turn it round in a match & often win.
How often when we concede first do we ever look like turning a game round?
So how many league clubs have gone on a 73 consecutive run without winning having gone behind?
I bet we have one of the worst records in the football league.
You can't hide the problem.
The OP is right. We haven't won a league game since Doncaster 72 1/2 league games ago, when conceding first. The emphasis is on league games.
A poor record.
As the only person who predicted a 2-0 defeat I think I have more chance in getting the only point than the side getting a win. Hope I am wrong, but when we concede the heads go down.
