I agree, lots of goals in the first half at the end we’re defending, then in the second half, there’ll be lots of goals down the other end. |  |

Looking at that lineup its very difficult to see where the goals are going to come from. That being said, Im going for a cagey 0-1 to the Rs. Sylla in the 82nd. (header). |  |

He might be bound to score, but Matt Phillips isn't a patch on Freeman or Eze... |  | | |

Unless he scores a hattrick can anyone tell me what successive managers see in Cousins? A player who makes minimal impact, can't pass, shoot, tackle, defend or score. Or we could have started with Pav who can tackle, get to the byline and score. But why do that? |  |

Gayle, Rodriguez and Phillips.
This is going to get ugly. And I hate being negative.
3-0 Baggies, at least. |  |

In his defence he's never really had a run in the side. Most players need a run of games to get match sharp and get into a groove. To have a run you have to start somewhere. But, that only works if the manager perseveres for a while and he doesn't get injured. So maybe this is the beginning of a few games for him, especially as SM says he is still learning about his players and trying to find the right formula. I do think we haven't seen the best of him. If we have, it raises questions on why we signed him. | |

I see what you are saying. I seem to think we signed him on the basis of one good match he played against us the season before we got him, when he was at Charlton. That appeared to be the entire evidence and reasoning to buy him at the time. He's looked and played nothing like that since. I'm even thinking we mistook him for another player that day and then realised too late. Nothing against the guy, seems like a decent chap. Just makes Mikele Leigertwood look like Lionel Messi. | |

It must be 4-3-3 4-5-1 Cousins is surely not playing right AM in a 4-2-3-1 ? Presume we are playing for a 0-0 |  | | |

Spain
Appartment
Refreshing dip in the pool
Towel off
Tanquery and tonic with ice and a large wedge of lime
A few more pages of Le Carre
A few cheeky salt and vinegar Ruffles
Now to all be ruined
A Fiver to pay
to endure live display
And induced dismay
for the rest of my day |  |

In defence of the lad he has had a horrific time with injuries, so you are probably right about needing a run of games to prove himself or not whatever the case may be. Whether he gets that run of games if Thorne comes in, Hall gets fit or Routledge comes in and Freeman plays more centrally, remains to be seen.
Speaking of run of games, disappointing for me to see Sylla benched again. Very difficult to establish yourself if out, in, out every other game | | | |

Survived period of WBA pressure rather well. Cousins doing OK at the mo, and Ingram looks a bit less shaky in goal. | | | |

Am at Wycombe spying on our next opponents in this year's Caramac (remember those?) Cup.
They press well and have scored a scruffy goal already so Gareth is looking agitated.
My body may be in Bucks but my heart is in the West Midlands with the Rs and oh heck 2-0 to The Pirates now!

The excitement is killing me. Halfway through first half and we've just had the first shot on goal by either side. Rodrigues (WBA) high and wide. | |
