[Albion] "West Brom, without a win in their last 20 Premier League games"

[Double Hard Bastard]

I find the tightness of the bottom really adds to the excitement.

WBA big favourites to win this. You can get 7/2 Brighton with Betfair.

Amazing that they were 4th when they came to the Amex, and haven't won a game since.

PG

When they came to us they had won their first two league games ( Bmuff H 1-0 ) and ( Burnley A 1-0 ). They beat Accrington A 3-1 in the LC and then were beating Stoke at home before a terrible defensive mix-up gifted Crouch a goal ( 1-1 )
Although they haven't won at home since the opening day, seven of their next 10 at home have been draws and the only teams to have won at the Hawthorns have been Man C, Chelsea and Man U. So its pretty clear that they are difficult to beat at their place.
Their record against the Big 6 is better than ours......P 7 D3 L4. ( including away pts at Tottenham and Liverpool )

Threads like this scare the shit out of me.

Threads like this scare the shit out of me.

The trouble is....we are all fearful of the old law of averages kicking in. At some point, they will win another PL game and if they can't get up for tomorrow, then there is no hope for them.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Can I point out that we are not playing West Brom's record? We're playing West Brom. And all the evidence suggests that we're as good as them or better. So the players just have to go out at The Hawthorns tomorrow and prove it.

 

[Notters]

Argh. It really is closed.

Well let’s hope they get that win against someone else.

"West Brom, without a win in their last 20 Premier League games"

Out in the car earlier and listening to TalkSport (yes, I know) when Danny Kelly said something like “If Alan Pardew can’t beat Brighton then he’ll not be getting a win”.

Cheery.

a) What does Danny Kelly know of us? Or any team outside the top six or seven?

b) I'd be happy if Pardew tries to beat us. But I think he might prefer to send his team out to do it.

Browsing on one of the West Brom forums and they are viewing this as their must win game of the season, biggest game for years etc. One line of conversation is around who is the biggest "Albion" out of the two teams, the quote below is from one such thread, never heard talk of the Rugby Club angle, before, anyone else..?

"During their last visit to the top flight in the 80s, when I was living there, they had a short lived fanzine called "The Other Albion", so I think they know their place. I also think that technically they are supposed to be called "AFC", not "FC" because the rugby club at Brighton is one of the oldest in the world and had already claimed the name "The Brighton Football Club".

Brighton rugby have been known as Brighton RFC for ever, so that’s rubbish I’m happy to report.

I'm quite happy with this. It's part of the "we should be beating teams like Brighton..." mentality that has served us so well in recent times.

As [MENTION=10202]Not Andy Naylor[/MENTION] infers, it's all about the team having the right attitude and delivering the goods.

We should be beating teams like this......................................................

 

[Is it PotG?]

A good chance that the results of this, Stains and Stoke will have a major impact upon our season's position.

3 BIG games imho.

...and so the fun continues. Roll on St Mary's.

 

[Acker79]

Next up - a Chelsea team that hasn't scored or won in 3 consecutive games, a record breaking run for them.

Pardew just got lucky, Sturridge is joining them:

Long ball specialists WBA haven't had a classy striker in many many years.

A few weeks back, many including me thought that WBA and Swansea were hopeless cases. Their improvement, shows the total focus clubs have in keeping their mitts on PL status, whatever it takes.

This season there are no Sunderland/Boro/Villa type soft touches, taking relegation spots early on, easing the pressure on other clubs.

Sturridge will get injured I wouldn't worry to much

Lots of ability, but questionable attitude when things aren’t going his away, plus seemingly always injured.

Will he be ‘up’ for a relegation battle after a few weeks?

Agree, definitely the toughest this League has been for a while....
