Vicente boost for Albion

[Daffy Duck]

If Vicente is fit and starts, he has to play with Lualua, between them they ripped teams apart down that left hand side and were unplayable at times.

Definitely and absolutely agree. In fact, I've gone all of a flutter just thinking about it!

Hey come on I was only joking.

Although I am thinking about boycotting next year and not voting at all, in protest at the smear campaign and clear vote rigging that goes on to keep the Honey Badger from his rightful crown.

People should be forced to pass a test to prove they understand the meaning of the term 'hardest' before being allowed to vote. It will be the same old story: "But an Orca would just eat the Honey Badger." Imbeciles.

(VERY pleased to have Vicente back as well)

Vicente starting & we'll win!

Unfortunately recent history suggests that we don't normally win when he plays!

Which is just statistical bollocks.

er ..... last 8 games last year?

We failed to win the last 8 games that Adam El-Abd played last year, too. And the last 6 that Liam Bridcutt played in.

They also both played in some great wins during the season, the same as Vicente tore both Pompey & Derby apart.

Indeed, hardness is a state of mind.

Yeah but people are suggesting that if Vicente plays (not El Abd or Bridcutt) we'll win - it doesn't follow unfortunately

We'll have to wait and see though won't we. Anyone who saw Vicente in those games last season know he was the best player on the pitch of either team - by a country mile. It was hardly his fault the rest of the teams confidence fell through the floor.

Agree - probably the best player in the Championship when he played last year

I think Vicente will prosper now that Crofts is alongside him. We haven't seen them together in a competitive game yet. Crofts is just that bit sharper than our other CM options plus with Bridders on the magnificent form he showed at Hull and sitting just behind them I really look forward seeing those three get a run in the side together. With Nooney and KLL both looking hungry and CMS back on his sharpest form and Buckley to come back too its all looking very positive. The worry for me is Barnes who was pretty anonymous on Saturday and fluffed a couple of good chances but looked ok pre-season and will hopefully prove me wrong with a brace tomorrow.

IMHO a player is either fit or not I don't go with this only 70% so put him on the bench. He can do as much harm to himself in 20 minute from the bench as from starting a game.

quite correct!! - any other thinking is all wrong. If your fit to come off the bench your fit to start - you dont put crocks on as subs - simple!

 

[bhawoddy]

er ..... last 8 games last year?

perhaps you might be one of the only fans who think he shouldnt play

Au contraire - I love the man, just stating the bleeding obvious

You can't say anything negative about our Ashley. It's not allowed and can never be justified.

I tend to agree and I'm one of Barnes' biggest fans. However I do think the solution is to have Vicente as the third midfielder in place of Dicker and then Noone, Kaz (if buckley is out still)and then CMS up top

Correct. It simply comes down to a bizarre amount of people not understand what the word hard ACTUALLY means. If it meant what they thought it did, HUMAN would win every single year, hands down.
