Blimey! This is like talking to CJ's second account!

Yes, weeping along with several thousand* Albion fans biting their finger nails, holding their breath, eyes half shut 'cos they can hardly bear to look, dreading the ball ricocheting into the back of our net after a prolonged spell of pinball in the six yard box, praying for the final whistle...

We're almost agreeing! I would have brought in Jose rather than Murphy though.........

Oh I know it's the CH way and won't be changed, and of course I'm not questioning his success rate. Yesterday it worked and we got away with it, but there have been a few occasions over the last couple of seasons when it hasn't worked and we've conceded late and lost points. Maybe playing the...

Nine of them knowing the drill and flooding the penalty area should be enough! Anyway, Jose would be helping the defence, insomuch as he'd be keeping two of their blokes back to keep an eye on him - that's two less attackers laying siege to our goal.

..........or for Gross. In hindsight, yes we held out, but would still have liked his speed as a counter-attacking threat for the last 10-15 minutes.

For you maybe - but it's going to get a lot nervier than today.

Those last 15-20 minutes were nothing! We won't often go into the final 20 minutes with a three goal cushion - but we'll still retreat into our own penalty area, and it will be a darned sight nervier. In this league too, we're not going to successfully protect a one goal lead in this fashion...

Just another 36 to go!

Yes, that's the problem.

Like we never do, you mean? Personally I'd have preferred to see Izquiedo coming on for Hemed rather than Murray.

Two banks of four, both in or around our penalty area, with our attackers back to help out? West Brom. given freedom of the park, ten Baggies in our half?

Here we go!..........................3-3 anybody?

I'm hoping our midfield will deliver with the goals this season - that seems to be the way we are set up, not in a way to keep putting chances in front of a big centre forward, whose main role might well be making space for them. Anyway, our midfield has just scored, so I'm not complaining.

But all our shots are coming from March, Knocky, Propper, Stevens and Duffy - they're obviously the ones who are not managing to 'finish it off'.

Glad we haven't ditched Bruno yet, anyway.

A proper Saturday afternoon again! Come on the Albion - make it a perfect one!
