Optimistic Nut Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Aye, this time last year arguably the first 3 names on the team sheet outfield were Colo, Ben Arfa & Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Both this match and the Swansea match coming up are 6 pointers. Win both and we're not only in touching distance with the top but we'll probably split the league table in a European pretenders half and a relegation half. We should get: 6 points. We will get: 1-2 points. Confidence is meant to rise when you start to go on a good run of form, not predicting a downfall at nearest opportunity I like to keep the bar low. Feels better when we clear it, hurts less when we fail to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Optimistic Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 When was the last time we won 4 in a row in the league... I think this could well be a draw, but it would set us up beautifully for December if we managed to get 3 points. Love Saturday evening kick offs.

Doug Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 No way will we be able to win 4 in a row. I'm going to be unusually optimistic for once however and say this is a nailed on draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Might be a game for the Colo/MYM axis, West Brom don't really have any threat that Willo would be better at dealing with do they? Nah its mainly trickery and pace, so you'd imagine its important that MYM plays and the rest is really neither here nor there. With that said i'd go with Willo and MYM personally. Don't they have Long? I'd drop Colo too. He has lost a bit of pace and not strong in the heading department. He's only decent when we're defending deep e.g at cutting out crosses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They have Anichebe so playing Willo instead of Colo with MYM might be a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They have Anichebe so playing Willo instead of Colo with MYM might be a good idea. I didn't even know this happened So yeah i agree, anyway just looked at the fixtures and noticed Spurs are playing Man Utd and Southampton are playing Chelsea. A win would put us in a really good position going into a couple of tough away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to raise his game when he faces us. 2 of his 6 goals last season were against us and he had one good goal ruled out too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 For some reason I'm always really nervous of playing WBA. Cisse's arse last season scraped us the win and they beat us here the season before. Those two games don't fill you with confidence, i feel the same. Predicting a draw but we are still more than capable of making it 4 wins in a row. Be interesting to see how these get on tonight, they were unlucky against Chelsea.

Tiresias Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They're compact at the back with quick and tricky attacking players in Sessengnon, Amalfitano and Berahinio, they'll sit back and try and get us on the break, the kind of team that can get a result against anybody but seem to seriously underperform against anybody too as very few of the squad are really anything better than average but well drilled. Trick will be if we don't give them too many opportunities to break from Tiote and Cabaye controlling it, which they should. I think they're most dangerous at 0-0 and won't offer much threat once behind as it'll disrupt their gameplan. Of course Pardew will take this to mean defending the lead...

Ikon Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 We need MYM's pace at the back for this! Willo and Colo is asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Playing a high against these would be mental, especially if it's Colo/Willo. Not like it's happened before against them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Coloccini always seems to have a torrid time against West Brom so I'd definitely go for Yanga-Mbiwa and Williamson as the CB pairing for this one (and all other subsequent games, form permitting).

Cajun Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 We need at least one centre back with pace (so MYM) or they will always have an easy option to beat our defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
