TRon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 No serious, he is a good finisher, or was at least, i have a gut feeling. Do you think it's a coincidence that he only gets in the penalty area on set pieces? Or is he just too slow to get there in open play these days?

Keefaz Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Who'll score first: Duff, Smith or Jonas? Duff. Easily. Who'll score first: Duff, Smith or Jonas? Duff will get 50 before Smith gets one. Well, I believe his current record is about 1 goal in 20, so we might just get two goals out of him this season if we're lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 This is how it will go. Smith - 0 Jonas - 1 Nolan - 5 Duff - 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 No serious, he is a good finisher, or was at least, i have a gut feeling. I hope you're right but statistically speaking he's not been showing it for years. I think he is the type of player that grows with responsibility and he will get a bigger role this year if he stays and therefor i think he will grow as a player. Too many puns. Get out.

Guest Alan_Shearer Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The team will be: Harper - Enrique, S.Taylor, Coloccini, R.Taylor - Duff, Smith, Barton, Jonás - Nolan - Carroll. You know, thats pretty damn good still for a Championship team, we just need the players to step up now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, thats pretty damn good still for a Championship team, we just need the players to step up now... To think it cost £45m to assemble that team there, when we've already had players who cost over £30m between them leave or be sold this summer. Shocking really.

Hasn't sunk in for me yet. Don't think it'll hit me properly until we play Sheff Wed at home.........most likely Palace away when everyone up here usually goes to the pub or finds an internet stream to watch us, something as simple as that.

chicago_shearer Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 After this train wreck of a pre-season, I'll be extremely impressed if we get anything out of this. I'll say 0-0, which would be a good result. More realistically we'll get hammered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliMag Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I just want some effort and decent passing. I also don't want their heads to go down even if we fall behind 3-0. Probably too much to ask for. My prediction is 2-1 to the Baggies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 One of the main reasons why a decent result in this game is important is to ensure we continue to attend at the home games. We need to get some momentum going to give the fans some reason to turn up. God knows we can be forgiven for throwing the towel in ourselves. I know the press and media are preparing their headlines already rubbishing us as fans. It is all we have left at the moment, so they cant wait to twist the knife there. All we can do is continue to turn up in droves to prevent the impending bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I would hope the starting line up will be; GK Harps RB R.Taylor LB Enrique CB Taylor CB Colo RM Lua Lua LM Jonas CM Barton CM Nolan CF Carroll CF Smith I hate to think what the team might be, I don't think I can stomach Nolan upfront. I hope some other reserve players make a spot on the bench, with such a small squad and it being unlikely that we will buy anyone we will need them at some stage.

Only change is Harpers got number 1 and Krul, Carroll and LuaLua have all got numbers in the 20's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
