Apologies to Dan for this but it’s something I keep seeing that we play narrow that confuses me as when I watch I don’t see it. Stats say we average just under 19 crosses a game not high but certainly not low. Price is 5th highest cross taker in the league….
Fellows was excellent for that though, his crossing was intelligent and delivered in a way that suited who we had in the box. Usually that meant low cut backs for a smaller forward. Our style now frustrates me a bit, it’s so narrow, but we’re doing great nonetheless so all good.

On Saturday we had 18 chances 9 of which were created from out wide. 2 of our three goals were created by players passing from out wide. Yet I repeatedly see “we need players who can go wide”. Is the issue purely that we aren’t playing traditional on the line wingers?

Are our fans aware that we can sign players who haven’t played for us before. (Also I wouldn’t be going anywhere near either of them)

Knew MJs name would start appearing at some point (is he even training yet).
Simple answer.
No he probably makes the bench but he currently couldn’t get anywhere near the starting 11 and would be competing with Tunde and Whitwell to make it on as a sub
Just out of interest for all the baggies fans - with a fully fit squad, who is genuinely our best XI?
Going off how we’re playing does MJ start for West Brom? and who starts in the middle?

Jimmy made a comment pre season that he saw him as a 2nd striker. So maybe he competes with one of the bench strikers for their role. But with JJM and especially Myhre doing so well I’d struggle to see where he comes in there.

We’ve got the best midfield in the world We’ve got Price and Horn Myhre, Jays and Collyer, Harry Whitwell and Ouzyyyy
From 12/18 months ago where I actively disliked our midfield options to me desperately trying to bastardise this chant to fit them. Gotta praise all at wba
West Ham Southampton and Millwall you’d have assumed and probably taken at most 3 points. We have fully earned the 7. Fucking superb Albion👏👏👏

Seen a few people suggest TF. But I’m yet to see a real reason, we currently have a midfield that freely swaps positions. One of our greatest strengths is our fluidity in attack and defence and as much as we loved him that wasn’t Tom….

Saints fans suggesting we are still bitter about losing a game to a south coast team years ago. They are probably right but they’ve got the wrong team. Fuck Milan Baros Fuck “cheeky chappy” Redknapp cheating bastards
Some not bright fans here probably comes from play offs couple of yrs ago I thought both teams played well chances both end result about right ✅️
