  1. The whole 'he has a right to go for the ball' thing is very irritating. You have a right to go in for any challenge, but mistime the challenge and be prepared for a yellow.
  2. Not his sort of game. Had pretty much unlimited opportunities going forward but very little defending to do. His nosebleeds near the opposition box were evident
  3. Big issues when we've got Whelan ahead of Grealish on so many occasions. Get Hourihane on and get Grealish pushed on. I'd also put Kodjia on for Adomah sharpish too
  4. This is Middlesbrough Vs Us last season in the playoffs isn't it?
  5. Now that Holgate's on a yellow we need El Ghazi to be running at him at every opportunity.
  6. This is the perfect situation for Albion now. Sit back and hit us on the break.
  7. Don't believe he was thinking of the connotations but incredibly thoughtless and don't think the BBC had any choice but to sack him. Funny how many Daily Mail types who constantly witter on about snowflakes are suddenly hugely offended by this though.
  8. Now that the EFL have swept it all under the carpet then he feels like he can appease their fans by appealing to their Neanderthal side. Think I’ve already mentioned it in this thread but Villa got a £200k fine for a pitch invasion after we got to Wembley in the FA cup. SHA’s poor security on Derby day lead to a player getting punched and they haven’t had any kind of punishment. Unbelievable.
  9. I don’t really get this point of view. I like Davis, but he has 2 goals from 39 games in the league. He’s strong and offers something different but Kodjia has now scored 3 in 4 and looking like he is coming back into something like his best form.
  10. Unless he can knock the ball past the defender and beat him in a foot race he just doesn’t seem to be able to get past his man. Problem is Adomah is even worse and Kodjia can’t be guaranteed to fulfil is defensive duties. Only having one really good winger is the biggest weakness in our squad right now.
  11. I thought the curse was sitting on the bench for every club he’s played for?
  12. From what Rob has said about the relationship it sounds as if Luke had a lot less to do with it than everyone assumed.
  13. Am I right in saying there was no action taken against SHA at all? Crazy that Villa got fined £200,000 for a pitch invasion beating a rival to get to Wembley, yet no action is taken against a club when one of their supporters assaults a player on the pitch.
  14. If we are going on form he should start ahead of Abraham but it's tough to drop a player who has scored 20+ goals. Got a feeling Smith might fudge it and put him on the wing.
  15. Also think it deserves mentioning that Smith bringing on Kodjia at half time was a masterstroke. I think it's fair to say that most of our recent managers would have tried to hang on at 1-0 and hope for a goal on the break or from a set piece. Love that we didn't predictably capitulate like we have done in similar circumstances before.
  16. McGinn excellent again, Elmo very good and thought Kodjia looked back to somewhere near his best. Thought Abraham was very poor by his standards, hopefully playing against his old team will kickstart him again.
  17. Can anyone confirm how many minutes they were in dreamland tonight?
  18. You do when that team played 3 days ago. McGinn for Whelan and possibly Green for Adomah for me.
  19. We get worse every week. For all the talk of playing attractive, attacking football, I haven’t seen any since before Christmas. I don’t like constantly changing managers and I want to give him time but I just can’t see it getting any better when we carry on playing with no obvious style of play.
  20. Thought he was pretty poor when he came on but he got in the right position and took his goal well and that's something that no other winger is doing at the moment. Really hope that the goal gives him a bit of confidence and if he gets a run of games he can get provide another threat alongside Abraham.
  21. Feels strange, because it feels like we didn't really deserve a point with that performance, yet with the dodgy refereeing decisions it seems the least we deserve. Need to play with the intensity we did in the last 15 minutes and actually go out and attack teams. Even though we conceded 3 thought Elphick and particularly Mings played well.
