Already ? Shane featured only fleetingly last season - started a mere 12 games.

Ah, right. The ROI captain you mean? No loss there then under Potterball :rolleyes: Where's the leader MARSHALLING the back two or three or four or whatever for the West Brom game? Sorry but I'm not seeing anyone obvious. Looks a bit like a recipe for disarray :shrug:

Clearly you're pining for the big man but we've been effectively been missing him since Potter arrived. He didn't play in most of our games last season - especially towards the back end so I guess we're coping just fine.

Yeah what we will miss is his COMMANDING performance for Celtic in their first tricky game of the season weekend just gone

Really really worried about set pieces with this game.

Think West brom are well organised they don't have any injuries, a few flair players as well. They have a togetherness at the moment.

I'm going for a draw.

Must win....hmmm not yet but if we don't win this one or Burnley I would be worried.

If we can beat both WBA & Burnley which we are well capable of , we would have 25% of the points needed for survival.

Yes well it is a game we must not lose and would hope to win. There are not that many teams around 'weaker' than us and WBA are surely one. If we play to our potential we should win but if we let this one slip and lose, a view of the table will bring pressure.

I think I am more nervous about this game than I was the Palace game! This is the type of game we HAVE to show we are capable of moving up higher in the table, instead of just playing pretty football with no end product.

WBA are well organised and got some good players that can cause us issues. Think of the psychological blow to us if we lose and see them go above us in the table!

Fulham are starting to gel and Burnley starting to look better as well so I'd take a scrappy 1-0 at the moment, just to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Starting on about must win or mustn't lose at this stage of the season is utterly ridiculous.

WBA will win some games; they might get lucky and/or play well against us. We do give oppos chances with faffing about at the back, and have worst record of conceding from set pieces in PL (7), so if I am oppo fan/player/manager I think I can get something here.

Lost at least one game out of 6 against relegated team in every PL season so far, so don't panic if it aint 3 points.

I'd say it's just another fixture. With this squad and the way we're playing, I'm no longer looking at the fixture list and earmarking the games we'll certainly lose and the games we thus must win. I think they're pretty much all for grabs - that's what's exciting.

Our position in the table is a false reflection of our performance considering poor refereeing decisions have cost us at least 3 points so far this season.

It's a must win. They are a #teamslikeBrighton that we have to beat at home in order to stay in the Prem.
Having said that, we are good enough to win anyway so no panic.
Bed sheet wash Tuesday morning.
