It doesn't matter whether we are sharing a sofa or sitting side by side at the Amex. There is definitely one pessimist and one optimist in my family when it comes to the Albion!

that with our current squad will be bottom 6. Great having possession but goals and points is what it is all about.
Add some attacking options and who knows.

Silly old bat
No, just after four seasons I thought we might have beaten Chelsea once in 8 attempts. Or a thrilling draw. You know, like all the other minnow sides have done. Still we scored a goal. 3 less than (relegated) Bmuff managed against them in their (4-nil) win last season. But hey. You were saying?

A thrilling draw you say? 1-1 with the goal of the season in January.
119 years in the league, and Chelsea is the only team we’ve never beaten.

Yep. Annoying isn’t it. And a bit crap.
 




Connelly going backwards I'm afraid. His off the ball positioning is terrible. Only seems to run when he has the ball, never anticipating the best place to be to receive it.
Was pleased again to see AJ but im slowly beginning to see why other dont think he is much good - flatters to deceive?
Biss Biss Biss - SO MUCH POTENTIAL BUT...he seems to lose confidence 2nd half. Wondering if its a dressing room thing - maybe coming in thinking hes done a good job only to find PB pointing out the negatives?
As mentioned on Lamptey thread i really think he could do a great job up front. instead of him running 3/4 of the pitch and trying to find someone to pass to in the goal area he could be in the final third instead saving his energy to run round defenders and being the one that scored.

Finally AND BEST - THAT GOAL FROM TROSSARD which seems to have gone unmentioned..Boy what a class goal. How often we moan that players ponce about when they should shoot and he was the one to do it. MORE PLEASE.
