[Albion] Pre Season Friendly vs West Brom @ Amex - Saturday 5th September, ***2pm***

[portslade seagull]

Hopefully this has proved we need an extra striker just incase they we under the belief what we have is good enough

 

[lizard]

Are we using this match to evaluate who we're going to boo all season?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

This was a good game for Connolly. It showed what he provides in the way of energy and nuisance value. I doubt if any West Brom defenders broke sweat all afternoon.

And I have to agree about Mac Allister. I keep waiting for him to produce something, but he seems to have an almost Forster-Caskeyesque ability to hit the ball at opponents.

i know it was a friendly and we were missing players but christ that was awful

 

[FamilyGuy]

A lot like Donald Trumps marriage; lots of possession but very little penetration.

It could be said that we need a Striker?

 

[British Bulldog]

Good run out. really liking the look of our back 3.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No threat down the left

Need another striker who is an outlet

It’s really that simple


I thought Biss, March, Webster and dunk had good games

Solly and Biss impressive, but I just cannot see what MacAllister offers.

Its taken Biss over a season to get to where it is now, Mac A has already said the PL is much faster than in Argentina and he had about 20 minutes before lockdown and only a few games since.

Wow at people making such strong judgements on a weakened team.

 

[Eric the meek]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned we need a striker.

If you nodded off during the game, or turned off to do something else, well done, you missed no action, as we never looked like scoring.

Yeah, big season for Connolly, definitely more of a nuisance than Maupay.
I wonder if Mac needs a loan.

You realise we have a bloke called Trossard who normally plays on the left? Think he’s quite good.. And a young Irish chap who often plays as second striker, he’s a pretty good outlet...

I don’t disagree we need additional forwards, but we had key players out today.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We need to sell Mac Allister back to a team in Argentina ASAP.

 

[oldboyroy]

If we can't beat teams like Wba what chance have we got this season? Relegation written all over it! Joking before anyone starts lol

 

[bhafc99]

We are no threat whatsoever

But we have lots of great defenders! More than we need in fact!

For all those desperate for more, you can 'Relive the action' on the Argus website now!

I don’t disagree we need additional forwards, but we had key players out ffs.

Agree with that wholeheartedly although we are still one or two short - but the midfield looked bereft of ideas until Gross came on and there’s only Propper to replace most of what we saw today. March better on the right doesn’t help any with Veltman and Lamptey returning. Bissouma at least - and Alzate if we play him centrally might get to grips with games.
How many times did Stevens give it he ball away? He’s a solid player but he will cost us goals again this season

 

[Originunknown]

Missed Trossard badly today.

West Brom won't mind coming down this season after that.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

Was that the most boring game of football I've ever watched in my life? Quite possibly.
