Get back to your own thread!

This is about the defensive qualities of our team. You wouldn't understand.

It's goals that keep you in the Prem

Yes stopping them is as important as scoring them.

We look like we should be able to stop them. 38 draws will not keep you in the Prem. A win is worth 3 draws and to turn those 1 point draws into 3 point wins you need someone who can score goals. Rocket science it ain't

But you could score 60 goals yet concede 98 thus gaining nil points.

Yes but the point is I suspect that 100% of Albion fans would say our defence is the strongest part of the team, midfield next and weakest up front. This has probably been the case for several years. The weakest part of the team is what needs strengthening in the hope the strongest can do its job

Not if we lost one game 96-0, although knowing our luck it would be 0-96.

10 wins is what we need, and 10 wins against our closest rivals will almost garuntee our survival

I still don't know if we are supposed to think Andy Dufresne did it

I thought no since the confession plot but I'm a bit of a sucker for the valiant good guy thing

Someone I knew said "no man, he did it" but that someone I know might be a cynic

What do you think?

tl;dr - this thread is now about The Shawshank Redemption

Fair point I didn't actually check as I think 40 is considered the target for safety

I think Mäenpää may get a start soon. Ryan is making too many mistakes. Sorry to say it as I thought we had upgraded from Stockdale.

Still can't understand why we let Stockdale go. Even more difficult to understand why we spent loads of money on a keeper who apparently isn't as good.
