Obviously I would love to see us win them all and sail up the table but being realistic there are a few things I would like to see looking ahead to next season. 1. Verbruggen to start every game and cement himself as number one 2. Ferguson to get a goal, any goal, maybe even a penalty in a dead...

We were so poor tonight. Too slow, laborious and lacking ambition. If we win tonight we go 7th. Instead we went backwards, sideways and never tried to take on a man. People will point to possession stats and shots and RDZ will say we deserved to win but we didn’t. In the last six games we...

For no apparent reason I started thinking about when we beat Manchester United 4-0. To remind myself I looked up the team that day. Looking at the side it got me thinking, is this the best side we have ever fielded. I knew the following season we achieved greater things but that team is...

Well, we are out. But lots of positives: - we beat Roma! Who would have thought we would ever say that! - a clean sheet - the back four does look so much more solid - JPVH was absolutely insane. Best player on the pitch in a Europa Leage knock out game - wonderful goal by Welbeck - no more...

Like most of us I am feeling pretty fed up this morning that we lost what would have been an excellent away point right at the death. It also got me thinking, when was the last time we got more points from a game than we deserved to? I can think of countless results where we have lost or...

Not a good performance and a rather frustrating night. A few positives: - another clean sheet - a point which is the most we deserved. On another day we lose that as they had the best chances by far - Steele did well - Lamptey back - One game closer to getting some players back. We...

A little frustrating not to win but West Ham missed some big chances too. Lots of positives given the situation. - another away point - a clean sheet despite having no centre haves - up to seventh - looked the better team despite being so depleted - good performance from Webster given he...

Not too many as very very frustrating (feels like Groundhog Day), but: - a point away from home - keeps the unbeaten run v them going. - Welbeck with a good goal, looked sharp and really important to have that option as Pedro may need to move wide if Mitoma injured - Buonanotte looked very...

I’m struggling to be positive after that but here goes. - Another point in the bag, in a week where all teams are losing games (United, Spurs, Newcastle etc) we have got four points from two games. - no more injuries or suspension and another game closer to players coming back. After next...

A huge three points versus a team who could have gone above us. Positives: - a come from behind win - Hinshelwood - what a story - Gross as good as ever - Igor excellent - more minutes for Baleba who looked good - no injuries that I could see - Dunk, Dahoud and maybe Webster back at the...

We have secured knockout football in Europe despite being down to the bare bones. Fantastic achievement. Additional positives: - clean sheet away from home. - two wins back to back - Hinshelwood played well out of position. - Mitoma back and able to be rested after an hour. - Milner back...

Blimey, where to start: - a much needed win at a tough place to go, changes the narrative from no league win in 6 to one defeat (away to Man City) in 9 in all competitions - after the red card capitulation v Sheffield United this shows we do have some guts and bottle under pressure at a tough...

Moder on the bench - that’s it. Not good enough and if this was Potter we would be absolutely fuming. RDZ needs to start taking some criticism as it’s not as if it’s a one off.

So I know emotions are running high regarding the offside, which I do understand, but there are some positives to take: 1. Everton are in good form, we aren’t, a Dyche team on a wet afternoon getting an early goal. We take the point and run down the road. 2. Better teams than us will struggle...

Well that was entertaining wasn’t it. A lot of positives to take: 1. Adingra - outstanding, so exciting. 2. March- I thought he was actually man of the match his tackling was that of a true left back. Excellent to have him as such a viable option 3. Igor, thought he looked good until the...

I don’t like singling out players but the amount of goals we are conceding needs to be addressed. Steele might be good with ball at his feet but the amount of shots he concedes as a percentage of shots faced is ridiculous. I can’t think of any truly exceptional saves he’s made this season...

Three league wins in a row is something we didn’t manage in all of last season. Obviously it’s great for the points difference but also for gaining genuine momentum. We weren’t anywhere near our best today but another three points in that situation is huge. Three of the toughest league games...

I just wanted to start a thread in appreciation of the contribution of Danny Welbeck. Understandably Ferguson gets a lot of headlines along with other other young exciting attacking talent but over the past three seasons many of our biggest and most iconic wins have come with him leading the...

To pass a full Monday I thought I would pose a little Albion related quiz question. On Saturday Adingra and Pedro got their first of what we all hope is many goals for the Albion. By my reckoning their are NINE players, some past, some present, who have only scored a single, solitary Premier...

Looking at our existing squad and thinking ahead to the transfer window the squad seems to be a little unbalanced at the moment. We have exceptional cover in all forward and wide positions, in fact more players than could even make the bench. Given the incomings we look well covered in...
