Pre season, I didn't see our quasi-Championship squad getting anything from the top 6. So it's panning out. Making the other 26 games vital to us.
Totally separately, as a PL watcher, I'm well aware that Swansea, WBA, Bmuff and Palace fairly often get wins against the top 6. And will...
This.
With home advantage and a far better squad than ours, it would be a surprise if Stains failed to comfortably win tonight. Stains winning has by far the shortest odds.
Bizarre that many think that it will be the hammer blow to our season.
Our home games are vital.
I always thought we'd lose all 6. Anything other than that would be a pleasant surprise to me.
I looked forward to the other 26 games, as we had a chance.
I genuinely wasn't one of the most.
I think a lot of Albion fans must have always tuned out of the PL, until we made it there.
Palace and Bmuff to name just 2, have had several wins against top 6 teams in recent seasons, which effectively kept them up.
To rely entirely on games against the...
Yes, I watched it all on BT.
Hudd were simply outclassed. Liverpool upped the ante after 2 losses, all their players turned up, against essentially a very good Championship team.
Did you watch Brighton in those games? We chased shadows and were out fought in every position. Backs to the wall...
I do agree. Wins in Feb and March are vital.
Transfers - still hope the club bring in attacking CM with pace or RW, of quality. The elation TB showed after the Wigan game said it all, after 34 years the return and TB/PB I believe thought we were in the PL to stay. Minds will be focused.
Several posters pinning all our hopes on Southampton away tomorrow evening, lose and the end is near.
It's only January.
Southampton winning will not determine our fate.
Did you watch Swansea Liverpool? The home fans were quiet, only piping up when they scored just before half time.
Since that moment, the team has given the fans the boost to get excited about.
Stains should beat us, they have a good team, albeit on a poor run.
CH and players will not be affected by Swansea results in Januray, it's only some Albion fans.
Staying up depends on our home games, plus any away points as a bonus.
Swansea staying up, does not mean we're down in any way.
We simply have to gather some wins with Ulloa and Locadia giving us a threat and plan B at long last.
This.
Albion fans were so certain of the demise of Palace, Swansea, WBA, Everton, Stoke and West Ham a couple months back.
Their squads have been expensively assembled with PL quality players over many years, giving them an edge.
This season there are no clubs in disarray from top to bottom...
The mega expensive Arsenal squad including Auba by then, should defeat a club with our squad.
I'm surprised how far they've fallen to the stage where Bournemouth and Swansea more than compete with them.
Massive fans on owlstalk unanonymously hated CC after he was effectively sacked and predicted he'd be a joke at doomed Swansea.
Perhaps the expensive Massive squad was shite.
