We come across as rather "confident". Presumably has caused outrage on Hawthorns Chat...

I think we are fairly confident as we assume they might make wholesale changes again.
However 3rd round game was just after the busy Xmas period and they don`t have a big midweek game next week like we have.

Moore has asked our fans not to boo Rodriguez which suggests he will be playing, I`m surprised at that.

Baggies fan at work said they played their kids in the 3rd round and are likely to do so again.

As they’re challenging for promotion in the Championship that wouldn’t surprise me. The rewards for going up are far greater than a good cup run. The other factors to consider are that they have more League matches to play than us and there’s an utter dogfight of six clubs (8 points from first to sixth) fighting for automatic places.

I'd be amazed if Rodriguez didn't get a royal five star pantomime booing.

Looks like he was right-ish. Quite a few 18,19 and 20 year olds with not many games mixed with old heads. Might go stronger this time though.

 

[Hamilton]

Brighton confident or West From not confident?

Hopefully their goalkeeper only has a license to spill.

...I'll get me coat.

It will be, as they say, a dot on the card.

Not really. Petty well balanced views chosen there.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I think this is a very hard fixture, both teams will not be at full strength but think we may have the edge because of home advantage and our back up players/reserves are possibly as good as our first choice in many supporters eyes. (Andone, knocky, Bissy, Beram, ) May just edge this one 2-1 but an upset wouldn't be a surprise to many.

Like that one of our supporters chose the name Hugh Jorgan. Wasn't picked up by the press or just ignored and allowed..

Hey that's me......not by name though

 

[Birdie Boy]

Don't boo, yeah right. Surely brining it up will make it even more reason to boo him. Be interesting if he has the bottle to play.

Apparently he has a slight knock, and therefore doubtful

One comment from their forum
''Seen a few pre-match comments from Brighton fans, didn’t realise that for a club that has literally no honours of significance to their name, they’re rather above their station! ��''

Also another post re JR ...''as he was found not guilty'' Wrong!

It`s going to be interesting for sure.
Both managers are hoping the Bong-Rodriguez affair is finished , however it seems likely Bong will play so he`s going to get stick from the Baggies fans.
Personally I`d leave him out but who else if there to play left back?

Still don`t think Rodriguez will be involved unless a pantomime villain appearance on the bench.

 

[casbom]

I can see this going to a draw, which won't suit either of us!

Apparently they've got quite a few injuries or niggles so down to the bare bones so to speak, however we've got a massive game on Tuesday so won't be surprised to see the second string team out.

What a stupid thing to say, fans will always look to disrupt the concentration of opposing players and put them off, Harding and Zaha are prime examples, an opposing manager saying that will only make it happen more. He should be more concerned about his fans booing Bong.

Nothing wrong with confidence. 3 or 4-0 win against their kids.
