    [Albion] Next Season 25/26

    Trying to be optimistic. I hope next season can be a special one like this season, at times, promised to be (yes, yes this is the same for every fan). TB thinks long term so I’m trying to too. Our newish bunch of young players will have had a season of PL football as will Fab. We might be able...

    [Albion] Player Ratings (Leicester Home)

    Bart: 4 - one alright save. Could have done better for the first and maybe come for the cross for the second Jack: 3 - obviously not his best position but looked weak today. Mavidi had the absolute beating of him. Baleba 6 - really good first half and justified him playing centre back as could...

    [Albion] What are we? Weak, Cowards, Comfortable, Arrogant, Flaky, Spineless or Fragile?

    Our mentality is unforgivable. 2-1 V Forest at home. We aren’t ruthless enough to get the third or hold onto our lead. Yes Forest are alright but good teams with character get 3 points with 15 minutes to go or win it in the last 10 minutes V 10 men 2-0 up V Wolves at home until 88 minutes. Draw...

    [Albion] Where is this all going...?

    This is not in response to losing 4-0 to the juggernaut that is the Petrol State Man City (although I thought we were dreadful for what it was worth). I've been clinging on to the hope that RDZ will be with us next season, the squad strengthened (not 'Dahoud, Baleba strengthened'), players back...

    [Albion] Coaching

    Who am I to tell RDZ and his team anything about coaching but here’s my two pennies worth. Can you please improve the following my dear Roberto: Mitoma tracking their winger – he is so slow in speed of thought and sprinting back. Cost us goals time and time again (Villa and today to name but...

    [Albion] Player ratings

    Bad night all round. Gutted. Only consolidation is that it'll upset Leeds. Steele 6 - Great penalty save. Maybe could have done better for there other goals. Gross - 5 Dunk 1 - Worst performance from him I can remember. Wasn't for the want of trying. He was bang up for it. Caught out a lot. Got...

    [Football] Potter – ‘maybe I need a history lesson on this club’.

    I’ll just give you a short one on ours Graham. We were saved by us fans who had to take direct action while previous owners sold off our ground. We had to make a 200-mile round trip to watch some of the worst football imaginable before getting soaked at Withdean for 10 years round an athletics...

    [Albion] Injury time

    That was probably the worst and most frustrating I've seen of us when we're chasing a goal in injury time. First up. Authorities and Refs have got to put a stop to it. The constant falling over, feigning injury, taking x3 longer than earlier in the game could be managed by stronger refereeing...

    [Albion] Goals from 'open play'

    I love our club. I like Potter. I like a lot of our players but I don't enjoy watching us at all in the final third. It's the absolute lack of belief and bravery to score that gets me every game. Anyway, our goals from open play is absolutely shocking this year. If you remove penalties, free...

    [Albion] Conor Gallagher tonight

    How many fouls is he going to ‘win’/dive for tonight? I’m going for 6. He falls to the ground so so easily and has the potential to do my head in later. Imo opinion he’s worse than Mr Tumble and is more adept than Murray at feeling contact and falling over. Watching his game, he does it all the...

    [Albion] Does Potter really want this job?

    I think Bloom should ask him if he actually wants the job because his whole demeanour and responses tells me he doesn’t. Where’s the passion? Where’s the positivity? You’re incredibly lucky to be manager of our club. Show it or just go. Why are you the best person for this job Graham? Give it to...

    [Albion] Jahanbakhsh and Macallister

    Now I want to be wrong tonight because I want us to play in the Premier League next year but these two players do not help us. They are not able to because they don't have the attributes. They are not quick, powerful and they can't take players on. In the positions they want to play they need to...

    [Albion] Plucky or Villa?

    So with Watford down who out of Villa or Bournemouth? Reckon both managers will go even if they stay up. Villa have more potential (big club bollocks) but would enjoy seeing Bournemouth down. What do you think?

    Cardiff’s tactics under Warnock tonight

    They will appeal for fouls all evening, be in the ear of the fourth official and referee, time waste as much as they can, use every free kick to pump the ball into the box and try and take out/double up on our players (particularly Knockhart) at every opportunity. We need to be patient and not...

    Skalek's set pieces

    Today and in fact this season, his set pieces have been dreadful. Out of the 5 he took today, only one was of any quality and he seems to just loft it aimlessly, slowly and hopefully into the box. The problem with this, is that we need to win two headers to score which is unlikely against a team...

    Please TB don't even think about appointing Jones

    Reading a few things from Bloom and Barber this morning I am really worried they might end up plumping for Jones. I'm worried it might become the easy option after other managers might not be the exact person they want them to be (Ie. slightly more money, they want more control over which...

    How much of the problem is down to Tony Bloom?

    Before you start I fully realise the amount of money he has and is putting into the Albion. I also like the fact we have a fan in charge of our club and not a foreign owner. However there are some things I feel we have to question. 1. Firstly the appointment of SH. He has no experience of...

    What is Ankergren still doing at the club?

    He is an appalling goalkeeper who makes disastrous errors (Forest, Middlesborough, Rochdale to name a few) and his pathetic flapping at everything in the air makes the whole defence retreat virtually to the goal line. We would have beaten or drew against Arsenal if he wasn't in goal that day...

    Orlandi's set pieces

    HAVE to be better today. Please let them beat the first man, don't put them too close to the keeper and don't bother with a short corner if it's not on. Both their goals came from his poor corners. When Andrews had to make a foul and get a yellow you could see him ay "what are we doing?" when...

    Ince must start in place of Forster-Caskey

    He has to play against a team who attack with pace and power. JFC made their attackers look like Real Madrid at times as he chased shadows. I think the decision to just stick with the same team (the same team who looked pretty inept against a poor Forest team until subs were made) showed how...
