Surely our toughest game of the season so far - so if we have a go - take them on and beat them Is that the time to start dreaming or what ? Or should we wait till after M'Brough.

Let's wait until January the Xmas period throws up some strange results in a very unpredictable league.
To be honest I don't think we will win tomorrow maybe draw.
If we were full strength I would be very confident but as good as last week was the first half scared the life out of me against an average side.
Love to be totally wrong of course.

It's going to be really tough but I think we might do it. Realistically a draw is a great result and,after last seasons debacle,we should be pleased with that.If we win and get something against 'Boro then I'd say start dreaming. "Come on Albion"

If we win at Derby,yes, even the most doleful countenances will begin to flicker with fleeting wonder.

Even if we lose (HAHA! LOSE!) I will still believe that we are more than capable of making it this season. The left back problem really worries me for the immediate future, although this Albion team never fail to surprise me.

Over exuberence tends subliminally to weaken resolve for the next challenge imo, e.g. we might win at Derby, get overexcited - and then play crap and lose to QPR and Middlesbrough.
No!! - IF we win against Derby it means nothing but 3 more points and maintaining a quiet confidence that we can match the best! .... and if we lose then the challenge is to get over it and show we are real contenders by bouncing straight back against QPR!

That's far too good for this board.
Please think before posting.

Goodness knows what this amazing season will bring. Tough match, yes - but any tougher than Hull, Burnley, or Ipswich were at the time? Not predicting a win, but to be honest, whatever the result it won't surprise me. I will make my usual pathetic gesture of keeping my fingers crossed.....................

If we take 7 points from these next 4 games then I think everyone will believe we have shout of a top 2 finish.

How many points have we taken in the league from our last five visits there ignoring the cup?

I'm already a signed up believer in CH and the squad and will be a little surprised if we are not top two by the season end. Away at Derby could be the toughest fixture of the season (we'll only be playing for pride at Boro), so a loss would only be significant if it started a run of poor form (which it won't). However, I think we'll win today.
