  1. JRC, technically, although he's floating about.
  2. Not a stand out athlete though.
  3. The playoffs died when we lost to Barnsley and Wigan. I don't know why people are kidding themselves by keeping up with results around us.
  4. I'd love to get their wages off the books and some money back in transfer fees.
  5. They're better than us for sure, but the main difference has been that Brazilian midfielder. He's the best player on the pitch.
  6. Redirected a header across he box on target. Tough chance, but yes a good player puts that away.
  7. LOL even the West Brom homers are saying "it was close" which means he's a yard offside!
  8. That doesn't surprise me, but he's a clever footballer on the pitch.
  9. I'd love to see down the line. Half of their attacks look like they're offside.
  10. LOL Dr Who is on one of the cardboard cutouts.
  11. The great thing about watching these games on iFollow with the opposition commentary is that it turns a nothing game into one where I hate the team we're playing. The commentary is biased as hell - makes the game worth watching.
  12. Nothing special about this West Brom side - but that speed upfront is going to result in a goal or two today. We have no answer.
  13. Our only attacking option seems to be Nyambe!
  14. Watching it with the West Brom commentators. These iFollow co-commentators are stealing a living. Clearly don't research the opposition at all "Oh looks like Downing is playing CM for Rovers..."
  15. He's such a good player, he can play all over the park. Elliot is a proponent of the Dutch 'total football' model.
  16. They've got a suite named after him, which is just pathetic.
  17. Imagine buying a season ticket for that.
  18. He definitely needs to improve his end product, but I feel like he often cuts back inside because there simply isn't a viable option to cross to most of the time.
  19. Asks Nyambe to cover the entire right flank on his own, then berates him when teams get in behind him. He's a bad man manager.
  20. Well that £12m + wages is going to define his time here. It'll be the reason we have to sell promising players and why we haven't been able to reinforce areas of weakness.
  21. This is such a cop out. What answers do you, a message board poster, have to our managerial crisis? How about you pay me £300k a year and give me the money to form a manager search committee. I'll find you a better solution to Mowbray then as it would be part of my job.
  22. So if he's done a decent job minus blowing a significant amount of our budget on two non-players. If we add that catastrophe into the equation we can assume that he's done a poor job, right?
  23. Nobody is on the 'wouldn't sell' list - nobody on our books is that good (and we don't have the clout to stop a transfer). Travis and Nyambe are the two I'd be reluctant to sell. Armstrong is good, but he's not a world beater - he just looks sensational when compared to Gallagher and Brereton.
  24. This hatred people have of Rothwell is baffling. Holtby was invisible, bar a 15 minute spell, yesterday. That's unacceptable yet nobody is calling him out. Rothwell put Gallagher clean through for his miss. He was also instrumental in the build up play to the disallowed goal (how that was disallowed, but Travis was mugged for theirs is another matter). He's not a fantastic player, but people gloss over the good stuff he does because they've made their mind up about him.
  25. You get the best out of Armstrong by playing him upfront. If you're playing 4-4-2 (revolutionary in 20/20) then he's upfront with Dack. Could work. I think he's much less effective playing as one of the wide forwards in a 3, but he can play there. We'll be lucky to keep hold of Dack, Lenihan, Nyambe and Travis in the transfer window. It won't have gone unnoticed that they're by far our best players and I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Venky's demand some book balancing after the Gallagher / Brereton debacle. Either way, Mowbray isn't the man for the job.
