Very very pleased for da do Ron rondon, he has had a very hard time, new country, New style of football, early season globe trotting, playing on his own a lot, a lot of uncalled for stick from some quarters, now showing just how good he is, real class act ...... We are lucky to have him. Hopefully next year we can push on up higher .......

A few weeks ago I was very critical of rondon, in fact I said he was never a premiere league player!! Okay I'm a plonker!! He's been outstanding the last few games, great work rate and a real handful. Got to say what a break for us that Chester got the yellow card last week and not yacob who was absolute class today, along with Fletcher, and didn't poco do well when he came on?
COYB.

Last seven against manure, won three, drawn two , ost two, not bad for little ole Albion. A little more consistency and we could really push on like the foxes.

Superb win, Rondon and Yacob were both brilliant, impressive performances from Fletcher and the 3 full backs as well, Chester seems to be improving quite a lot. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going, we're closer to the champions league places than the relegation places and only 5 points off 7th which will probably be enough for Europa. We could be going on a tour of Europe next season, dare to dream.
Does anyone know if we'll still play Arsenal next Saturday if they win their replay against Hull in midweek? The other fa cup games for the next round are next weekend but it doesn't seem certain if our game would be cancelled or not. Ideally Arsenal will lose in the cup and we can carry on our momentum against them.

After Reading and the weeks leading up to it I was 100% against him, but full credit to TP the last few weeks. Just goes to show what showing a glimmer of attacking intent does, its all any of us asked for.
Its not even the fact that we are getting results, just that I can bare watching us play again. Just hope he notices the difference and doesn't revert to type.

FA Cup games get priority, so yes, we'll have a fortnight off now if Arsenal beat Hull in the week.

Very good performance; did ANYONE have a bad game? IMO that was the key factor.
Thought Yacob, Fletcher and Gardner were superb, followed closely by Rondon.....but, as I said, everyone played their part today
Interesting to note that the players who get a fair bit of stick generally, did very well -
Rondon - looks better every game
Gardner - very steady, great energy
MacClean - only had 15 or so mins (?) but showed quite a few nice touches for a 'one trick pony'!!
Fab win, great TEAM effort

When I looked at our fixtures, Everton (a), Palace (h), Leicester (a), man ure (h) and Arsenal (a) I could not see where our next point was coming from, especially after Reading, wow, how wrong was I, ten from twelve. Good football, attacking intent ...... am I dreaming.
The Albion we all love, unpredictable, entertaining ....... our club.
COYB ...... SOTV.

Thought Berahino and Sessegnon were poor today which is why we didn't seem to click,
cant see the point with Pritchard loan signing either as he`ll never get game time under Pulis.
RE: WBA vs Man Utd - Match Thread - Stairs - 06-03-2016
Agree that Sess and Saido were off the pace today. Pritchard is recovering from injury and is given 'appropriate' game time to return from that. I assume the loan agreement was based on training and limited first team exposure when fit.
