Woo-hoo. 3-2
RE: WBA vs Blues - Match Thread - Baggie_One - 29-03-2019
Just the six minutes of injury time
RE: WBA vs Blues - Match Thread - talkSAFT - 30-03-2019
Manager of the month?

Brilliant in the end.

It's an interesting one with Shan, 3 wins from 3, but the team selections and performances are dreadful...
One thing he's got in abundance so far is blind luck, I just hope that continues.

First half poor, second very good - we seemed so much quicker in both thought and movement. We looked much better with HRK on for an invisible Morrison - it looked like a managerial master stroke until Shan said that Morrison was injured. Blues were probably the most cynical side I've seen all season.

Yeah, nail on the head for me. It's Big Dave selections, tactics and performances, but with the extra stroke of good fortune that eluded Darren towards the end.
But a great derby game in spite of a dire first-half showing from Albion.

COYB
Bob Latchford was a bit of a beast but never dirty, a decent guy, and he was a useful player. All as I recall, anyway. Three brothers playing top level football; you don’t see that very often.

That does not sound like you ska'd, Big Dave's selections? Mozza and Brunt restored to the starting eleven, Edwards and Townsend starting (granted I doubt Townsend would start if Gibbs was fit) and the substitution of Mozza for HRK at halftime was inspired. On tactics, I did not see us trying to play out from the back on every occasion or 1 foot forward 2 feet back balls. I also think it a touch harsh to suggest that the 3 wins are down to luck, there is always the need for a touch of luck in a game and yes the penalty decision may not been given on a different day, but even on playback the decision was probably correct.

….didn't watch any of it - perversely, inspired by the anniversary of the real amazing event I actually watched The Great Escape!!
(Real hammy film, looking back, full of absolute stereotypes [but weren't all films like that in the day?]).The game itself sounds like "same old, same old" with us under performing and riding our luck at times??
Please tell me I'm wrong and we were inspired by our new man's tactical brilliance and motivational skills...
