    [Albion] Diego Gomez

    youtube short video highlghts of Diego Gomez vs Chelsea or club website. Only on the field as a 68 minute sub yet absolutely immense in reading the game and shutting down threats all over the pitch. Just wow!

    [Albion] Injuries, from today's Times

    and O'Riley was crippled by a tackle and Danny's ankle problems arose from the scythe by Downes in the Southampton game to stop a breakaway. Not all injuries arise from intensity. We've been able to rotate a large squad but at the expense not only of availability but forming partnerships between...

    [Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

    Justice is a self -styled wind-up merchant. He's just switched to winding up the bedwetters, that's all.

    [Albion] Fab out?

    One thing Fab will have learnt from the first game against Southampton is that weak and biased refereeing can always affect a result. Downes got away with just a yellow for the dangerous hack at Welbeck’s achilles to prevent a breakaway and then proceeded to commit a succession of fouls some of...

    [Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

    FH isn’t judging players just on end product. He wants players to commit to intensive training sessions and to defend from the front in matches. You can see that the players on our team sheet absolutely buy into this now. Minteh and Mitoma acted as wingbacks for much of the game against Utd and...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson **Loaned to West Ham 03/02/2025**

    This season Evan has made 12 appearances in the Premier League. He’s started 2 matches and been a sub in 10. I don’t think he would have appeared at all if there were any concerns over being injury free, the club has been very cautious about bringing players back too early. You’re absolutely...

    [Albion] Evan Ferguson **Loaned to West Ham 03/02/2025**

    I think Fab has made it clear in a number of interviews that he both values and will likely only play forwards who are committed to counter-pressing to win the ball back higher up the pitch and reduce/slow the options for a transition/counter-attack when we lose the ball. He praised Danny in...

    [Politics] Wealth Inequality

    19th century music hall had it pretty much spot on. It‘s the same the whole world over It‘s the poor what gets the blame It’s the rich what gets the pleasure Ain’t it all a blooming shame. Adapted by British Soldiers in World War 1, it’s the refrain from “She was poor but she was honest”

    [Albion] Why not leave people up for corners all the time ?

    It’s not just about the numbers in the box. It’s also about who are the main attacking threats at corners. If it’s their centre backs, do they leave out one of those centre backs from their corner routine to defend the potential 3 v 3 breakaway. If a teams corner threat includes their fullbacks...

    [Albion] Potter- what’s he up to? (Managing West Ham from 9 Jan)

    That’s a strange stat as Potter jumped ship in September 2022 so didn’t actually manage us in 2023.

    [Albion] Injuries

    Along with Joao and Matt being injured by dangerous tackles, Danny was also injured by a tackle from Downes in the Southampton match, who raked his boot onto Danny’s achilles from behind to prevent a breakaway. It caused the problem with his ankle that was initially managed with painkillers but...
