[Albion] West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Charity Shield 1910]

Different positions, and they start instead of come on from the bench. However Maupay and Connolly named to play reminds me of when Barry Lloyd made a double substitution bringing on Geoff Cooper and John Crumplin and a good chunk of the Goldstone crowd went home. Go on then Maupay and Connolly, take some chances for once.

As an aside, I fancy Villa to beat Leeds later..

Reasonable odds for a WBA win or a draw ...I’d have thought a draw would have been shorter than an away win....but then bookies don’t factor in ‘emotion’

Finding it hard to get motivated for this. Would love Potter to prove me wrong but think it'll be much of the same. All the possession, none of the goals.

Yup. The apathy normally lasts a day after we lose, but this week, I just don't see us scoring a goal for the rest of the season. I'm hoping the good guys prove me wrong.

Hopefully improve our shot conversion rate of 7.8%

Maybe. It would be nice, but Villa with and without Grealish = two very different things.

Yep.
Earlier in the season you park the bus and take a point, 3 is a bonus. Now they have very little option but to go for the win. They probably need to win at least half of their remaining games to even stand a chance.
The other teams around us will definitely 'do a Palace' but I think WBA have no other option but to show at least some intent.
(I'm desperately hoping so anyway).

They aren’t good enough to play on the front foot and Big Sam knows that. They would be delighted to stay in the game at 0-0 after 75/80 minutes and then they might start committing more bodies forward.

Before that no chance, they know the blue print from our other fixtures.

Plus the last ten minutes haven’t been kind to us recently, with the Palace and Leicester cup game.

Dunno... maybe in the sense "the less set pieces, the better".

Connolly's hair.
Amazing.

Would be nice to see short corner number 562 lead to a goal.
