West Brom are a decent side, as long as injuries go their way they should finish in the top 10.

Our performance was a tactical victory, we moved the ball wide as quickly as we could and closed down when the ball was in the centre. Dunk played plenty of balls to the channels for Solly & Knockaert knowing west Brom's midfield would have to drop and help their defence. We closed down well and forced them to play long balls to Rondon centrally where Dunk & Duffy headed clear and dealt with everything.

With Morrison arriving they changed shape and got a goal, and looked more dangerous for the last 15/20mins but we had the goals we needed and saw out the win. Tactically we had done our homework and exploited them. I think a similar game plan against Bournemouth should work although they play 2 up front in Defoe & King

Apart from anything else, our two most recent and expensive signings have, one of them, hardly played and the other not played at all.

And i found myself thinking that yesterday a fit Sam Baldock could well have run rings round a fairly pedestrian WBA defence,

Crooks is an idiot who never does any basic research. I have less than zero respect for his opinions.

Anyone remember him presenting the forerunner to This Week with Andrew Neil? Or is my memory even less reliable than I thought?

Fortunately he has never constructed a worthwhile sentence in his life.
He is....technically speaking .... a ****ing moron.

Honestly, I have shat more impressively sentient organisms. The BBC would be better off with a row of my faeces than that wanker.

He also looks increasingly like Baron Greenback from Dangermouse.

He might talk some crap here and there, but you can't knock his dress-sense!

As proven by his plea for Hughton to be supported in the transfer market by a board that has a net spend only surpassed by United, City, Chelsea and Everton. I presume that he dismisses all the players we have spent money on because they come from European Leagues and he has never heard of them. It seems that he works on the premise that if he hasn't done his homework he can cover it by saying something controversial.

The bloke is a fool, he's failed to take into account our first two games were against most people's favourites for the title and the champions of 2 seasons ago, you couldn't have a much tougher start. We've now picked up 4 points from 2 games against sides you would want to pick up points from if you are going to have a chance of staying up. We were on top at Watford before they had a player sent off, hit the woodwork a few times and could have won with a bit better finishing. As bad as West Brom were we still played very well and created chances and looked like a side that belongs at this level, sure we faded but nerves were always going to kick in at some stage when we were leading for the first time.

There is so much guff talked about the difference in class between the championship and the prem.
10 years ago it was probably true, but now the gap between the bottom half of the Prem and the top half of the championship is miniscule.

Palace, Watford, Burnley, Bournemouth are becoming established premier league sides for christ's sake.
Sure the top 6 are on another level, but I expect us to take points off the others, with or without a new striker.

The pundits just love to keep promoting the myth that the standard of football is so much better.
They're just protecting the brand and their own salaries.

Sorry, Garth, why was Gross in the team of the week? You don't seem to have mentioned it...

He's the BBC equivalent of a "shock jock" anyway, only used to get people to comment on their websites. Besides, he's only kept on for sentimentality rather than actually contributing anything of note.
