chicago_shearer Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The warning signs shouldn't apply. Forget expectations of the supporters, omens or the media. This is a question of professional pride. If the players have anything about them...any sort of balls at all....they will win this comfortably. End of. You do not lose the derby and then fail to beat West Brom at home. You do not do that. They don't deserve supporting if they manage that. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say the season is now on the line. If they can't rise to the occasion, then they never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Jesus christ, didn't even realise - we've let in at least two goals in each of our last NINE matches. That's fucking dismal. And to be totally honest, our defence hasn't been too bad. When you've got such an incapable midfield you're going to concede goals. Invites far too much pressure on the defence and they just can't deal with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 s***, just seen the warning signs in .com's pre-match blurb. Opposition having trouble scoring goals? Check. Opposition only scored one away from home? Check. Opposition forwards without a single goal to their name yet? Check. Player we were linked with coming up to face us? Check. Goalkeeper who kept a clean sheet on his last visit? Check. On telly for the world to see? Check. Must-win game? Check. An accident waiting to happen... Are you going? Touché. 3-0 win then. Who are you refering to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameobi did okay for the first-half holding the ball up on Saturday, but pretty much everytime the ball went to Martins, he lost it and we're back under pressure.

Erm no thanks. Oddly enough Butt getting injured is an amazing bit of luck, fills me with confidence going into todays game. I firmly believe Guthrie and Barton to be the best CM's at the club. With Jonas back we will create chances as he opens games up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
