Would’ve preferred Crawley.
In Wilshire, Brooks, King, etc, have some players who can hurt you. Hope we go full strength-ish.

Big Sam hasn't made West Brom hard to beat has he?

As a Burnley fan I'm more than happy for Bruce to continue in post, and I strongly suspect fans of all the other teams down there will feel the same.
I'm sure opposition fans were saying the same about us a couple of seasons ago when we'd lost nine of eleven games and just been hammered by Everton at home.

Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
Mathematically its still quite possible for WBA to catch us up, (though I don't expect it).
However I can't imagine any scenario after this evening's result that WBA could end the season with a superior GD to us, so effectively we are 9 points clear of them and they have 18 to play. So they would need to win 3 more games than us in those games. It's not going to happen.

In the 7 matches they've played since Big Sam took over they have conceded 21 goals - so far.

Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
That's rare though for teams to hit such a purple patch, and can you really see any of the bottom 3 hitting that level of form.
To put it into perspective we've amassed 9 points in our last 6 games, and yet many feel we're in poor form, West Brom have 11 points in the entire season.
And in total the bottom 3 have the grand total of 5 wins to their names this season, if any of them stay up from here they'll be doing incredibly well, and the teams above them will have to seriously implode, I can't see it, but in this game you can never rule anything out I suppose,

Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
Cheltenham gave City more of a game than West Brom have tonight, I do wonder if Bilic will have a wry smile on his face watching this.
BTW heading for 4 away wins in the PL in tonight's games, hope that's not an omen for tomorrow.

Tonight’s football. East Lancashire’s second club are well on course for promotion...Stanley 2-0 Hull. Bloody amazing and they have a zillion games in hand on most. If fans are back next season (bloody hope so) I’ve promised to take the family to the home game against East Lancashire’s other team.

That was exactly the point I was making wasn't it? (We're effectively + 9 points,, not 8).dpinsussex wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:17 pmDon't forget their goal difference stands at a staggering -32 compared to our -12
Anyway it's - minus 33 now!
Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
BFS will try to deflect the result he'll be racking his brain at the moment.
Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
Assuming Leicester (Vardy now out injured) and West Ham drop off a bit, it'll be the usual suspects in the top 6-7 places, including Everton.
For all the talk of a strange season it will probably end up like every other year.
Shows how remarkable our Europa league qualification was.

Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
Wow! these stats are frightening for West Brom if true, taken from the BBC text feed so if they're wrong don't blame me, but they have had a lot of doings this campaign, reminds of the Coyle/Laws season when you needed an abacus at some of our matches.
4th time this season West Brom have concede five. 5th time they've conceded at least 4. 8th time they've conceded at least 3. Just saying.
You have no chance of winning games if your conceding goals so readily, and even the game they won recently at Wolves they had to bag 3 to win, unless they seriously tighten up and quick, there's only one place they're heading.

Re: Tonight’s football 26-1-21
It's not just City though, they've shipped goals for fun all season, and even the appointment of BFS hasn't improved this fact, thumped 3-0 by Villa, 5-0 by Leeds and 4-0 by Arsenal, and that's all in the space of a few weeks, if you can't keep yourselves in games then you've no hope of getting points in this league, and that's the big difference between us and West Brom, yes we're struggling to score goals, but we rarely get thumped, and it's this strong base that will more than likely keep us in this league relatively comfortably.Clarets4me wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:03 pmQuite right, must be a terrible manager to be losing 5 - 0 to City ..... oh, hang on a moment !

You can't compare Leicester with WBA with the players they had. There was never any doubt in my mind that Leicester would have been relegated and the same applied to Arsenal this season who are now challenging for a top 6 finish
