[Albion] Man City arriving on the back of three straight defeats

[Bozza]

That doesn't happen very often.

Last time they lost three in a row...

Last time they failed to win in four consecutive games...

Last time they lost four (or more) in a row...

They’re going to go flip out spanky wanky on us. Reckon we’ll go a goal up in the first half, waste several good opportunities, then get absolutely rogered in the second half.

I hate optimists.

Everyone telling me it’s a good time to play them because they are wobbling- dunno, feels ominous to me

 

[chickens]

In theory no better time to play them, their team are walking wounded, their form has deserted them.

In practice, wot @jcdenton08 said.

I expect them to take it out on us, and beat us 1-3.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Rapidly becoming one of those games we "should win". And we all know what happens next...

 

[AZ Gull]

I'm going for an Albion win.

 

[bluenitsuj]

No excuse for us not winning.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think they’ll get a sympathetic ref and a lot of luck against us as they’ll surely bounce back this weekend. I don’t think we’ll be spanked, 1-2 seems about right.

 

[A1X]

Never fear, Doctor Brighton is here to sort out your poor run of form

It's our speciality

 

[redoubtable seagull]

4 - 1 to City. Inevitable.

 

[Anger]

You had to do it @Bozza didn't you?

 

[Is it PotG?]

No Rodri and they're playing bang average, good time to put on a performance and beat them.

 

[albionfan37]

They’re there for the taking, we learn our lesson from last week and put the fuckers to the sword

 

[Kosh]

They’re fragile… we have to start fast and get the first goal… I could see them unravelling a wee bit if we go to them and take the lead… defensively they’re all at sea at the moment… we have to attack.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I learnt a lot last season about the the tides of a football calendar. It was great winning the Europa group last year but ultimately counted for nothing. Roma staggered through the first few rounds but were there at the business end. They aren't much better this year either.

City do the same. They come good later in the season. Now is a good time to play them with Foden and De Bruyne especially not firing. An alternative view is that they simply aren't all that without Rodri. He does seem to make them tick.

 

[nevergoagain]

Poor old City, only enough players available to bring Gundogan, De Bruyne & Doku on from the bench and leave Ake & Walker to rest up.

 

[DavidRyder]

I'd take a draw now...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Fearing a return to the traditional days of them putting four goals past us
