[Albion] The Old Guard last night

[Shooting Star]

8 out of the starting line-up last night, who GAINED A POINT AGAINST TOTTENHAM FRIGGIN HOTSPUR, were part of the promotion campaign, and 6 of those were part of the season before that. Incredible to see that tight-knit group from the Championship being able to mix it with the big boys. Shows just how far team unity can take us. #together

Yep we noticed that too, good to see Kayal back alongside his old mate - had a really good game I thought

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The subs who came on also played in the championship

Yeah - was thinking the same thing. Great to see Knockaert and Bruno re-uniting to such great effect and Dunk with his imperious cross field pings to Bruno. Kayal and Stephens harrying and breaking up in the middle. They performed like they did in the Championship but against a top 4 side.

Ulloa

Ulloa

Not in the last few seasons, but yes, Ulloa has played for us in the Championship

 

[Napier's Knee]

noticed this thread after making same point in the Player Ratings - honest!

You could say the same about Harry Kane then, he's played against Ulloa at the Amex in the championship

I agree, it was good to see. We need to remember though that we have an aging squad, many of the players in it are over 30, so survive or fail, next season is going to require many new faces.

Yep l agree, he played really well. I like both our Israelis actually, the Arab and the Jew, although l fear we have all seen the last of the latter.

R.I.P Tomer, (when youu finally depart).
