I think they just need to switch back to 3 at the back and work from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Wolves were absolutely lacklustre in the last 20 mins. Soft pens for Albion though. I thought Semedo being denied a foul because he was brought down after the ball was out of reach to be a bit strange, given that was the same scenario as the Robinson penalty.

They look dead and buried. It would take something very special to turn them around now. As I wrote that I knew it was risky being HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartley played well in his first start. Robinson starting helped as he works his arse off. Snodgrass was a good buy and has work ethic, quality and is a leader on the pitch. If they (competently) replace Sawyers and Livermore I think they improve drastically as a team from where they were a few weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to be in touching distance of them when they play Brighton and Newcastle at the end of feb Same with us last season, it's not "must win 6 games" or "must get 35 points" it's just don't lose sight of those that are also playing shit Got Fulham and Sheffield in a few weeks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need another 7 wins to be o.k I reckon given we stayed up on 9 wins last season so big ask. Got Manchester clubs and Spurs in their next 6 so they could easily be adrift again by start of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should have seen enough of what Sam can do with sides to know he will improve them. People have written them off based on his first few games without any thought about his past performances.

Zatman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Brighton have won 5 games since January 1st 2020, Potter is probably going to be the next manager sacked if this continues and is performing worse than Hughton.

Yes Brighton are an incredibly overrated team so they'll be down there all season. I meant Fulham will also continue to move up the table given they're a point ahead of West Brom with a game less and they've been outstanding v Spurs and Liverpool in recent weeks so it's not just Brighton to catch for WBA but Fulham aswell. Got the feeling Brighton will win today as Leeds got Casilla in goal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the feeling Brighton will win today as Leeds got Casilla in goal again. Fair point re Fulham. Im not saying WBA will stay up just that talk of them being down already on the back of a couple of heavy defeats is premature as today has shown. I think Brighton will go personally.
