    [Albion] Yellow peril tomorrow

    Does anyone have the stats when wearing the yellow kit over last 2 seasons?

    [Albion] Biss. His next destination?

    Man Utd, Spurs & Arsenal all need a central midfielder like him. Chelsea have plenty whilst Liverpool & Man City won't offer many starts. He has been superb for two seasons and I'd hate to see him make a sideways step to a club that isn't top 6

    [Albion] You're in charge of the summer rebuild: who goes, who stays and who joins?

    Ben White spent the season on loan at Leeds winning their POTS and they offered £30m for him which we declined. JP is worth more than Blackburn would offer

    [Albion] Team vs Dirty (a)

    Only one change made after Wolves. No need to change much, however I do prefer it when Webster plays and Cucurella is wider plus Maupay can hold it up and cause trouble with his back to goal Vs Leeds. I'm glad I don't have to decide

    [Albion] You're in charge of the summer rebuild: who goes, who stays and who joins?

    Not many players will remain at a club and give 5 good years. To have a competitive 25-man squad we will need to recruit 5+ players per season, we cannot afford to buy ready made superstars so will continue to purchase youngsters full of potential and hope they develop into first team quality. I...

    [Albion] You're in charge of the summer rebuild: who goes, who stays and who joins?

    No matter how great our squad looks we always bring in several players, some for straight away and others for the future. Our recent summers with Potter have looked like: Summer 2021 - Mwepu, Cucurella, Scherpen, Sima, Mitoma & Sarmiento Summer 2020 - Welbeck, Zeqiri, Van Hecke, Moder...

    [Albion] Swap your old shirt for a new one

    Off the back of this could we have a greatest Albion shirt competition similar to the World's Hardest Animal

    [Football] Can we put the "20 goal striker" idea to bed now?

    We are very good defensively and that has helped us finish higher than our goal tally would suggest. Usually 40+ to avoid relegation, 50+ for those mid table, 60+ for European place & 80+ to challenge for a title. We've also seen 5 seasons without really turning anyone over, such results breed...

    [Albion] Do you think Graham Potter will be our manager at the start of next season?

    Potter brought a very different style and managed to adapt the existing squad with the initial addition of Webster, Trossard and Maupay. He has subsequently given playing time to several young prospects who don't get such chances at a top 6 side often. Sanchez, Lamptey, Alzate, Caicedo, Moder...

    [Albion] Jan Paul Van Hecke

    He could also fit into a side like Chelsea, Wolves, Everton, West Ham or Tottenham who play 2 DM's. He has a particular set of skills and if utilised is a great asset. Unfortunately we won't get the fee he is worth if anyone does bid for him

    [Albion] Jan Paul Van Hecke

    When we signed Duffy it was for a championship side and he formed an impressive partnership with Dunk which shows how teamwork and tactics can work together to create something better than the sum of the individual parts. I still believe the Duffy, in the right side and with the right manager...

    [Albion] Jan Paul Van Hecke

    Firstly, welcome to NSC Secondly, you won't be able to stay here long. Not only have you superbly articulated the strengths and weaknesses of two of our youngsters but outlined the limitations of one of your own players that some of our supporters believe is the new Messiah.

    [Albion] Our transfer policy

    That is a detailed read on our transfer dealings, could be informative for some people but likely you will know the majority of the content already. The area it fails to explain is that we are very much near the beginning of the transfer model and the next phase will be to sell our assets in...

    [Football] Jayson Molumby

    This transfer is more about the model that we develop players and allow them to continue their career. I'm very happy to see him move on which subsequently creates an opportunity for others

    [Albion] POTS?

    1, Veltman 2, Cucurella 3, Trossard

    [Football] Boro dad banned for telling kid to run on pitch

    There is a growing sense of entitlement and moronic behaviour which is more evident at away games, especially local ones. Unfortunately, like any club, we have our share of idiots. I love the chorus of the people as they banter between sets of fans but the aggression and abuse that people slip...

    [Albion] Welbeck

    A fabulous addition to our squad, he brings quality and calmness. I wonder if he could take a penalty. Last season I was worried he wouldn't stay because he would have better offers elsewhere but now we are in a much better position to negotiate. I hope he stays as we are better with him

    [Albion] Moises Caicedo - New contract signed until summer 2027 with 1 year extra option.

    He has been superb, deserves every minute of action he gets

    [Football] Burnley, Everton or possibly Leeds

    A 5 point gap to make up means they need two more wins than Burnley or Leeds get. I cannot see Everton making up those points

    [Misc] The Great Resignation and career changes

    I've just read through several posts and can honestly say I thoroughly enjoy work, not every moment, but love my job. I've always thought of it like...if I won £1m would I quit my job and if the answer is yes then it's time to find another role. As the old saying goes find a job you love and...
