Everyone still trying to get over that game?
Riding our luck a bit in last 10 mins but with a bit more of a cutting edge, it could’ve been a comfortable afternoon.
Seemed to change when subs were made for both sides.
However, still in a good position but Fulham game is now more massive than it was at 3pm!!

Sorry, Drewks, I wasn't following it this afternoon. Otherwise, of course ....
I blame Slaven for telling them it was like a world cup final - they were obviously banking on extra time and penalties.

Well that result for me was disappointing, cos now with Brentford winning every game, it will take one more loss (If Leeds win all of there's) for us to be in the play-offs with Brentford having a better goal average.
So Fulham with be squeeky bum time for me for us not to draw or lose.

Who has the easier run in - us or them?
no such thing as an easy run in
as i said on another thread
lets just concentrate on us
forget Leeds,Forget Brentford
we keep winning we will get the job done
AAA, that was obvious, however as that didn't happen yesterday, I'll be looking at Leeds and Brentford's games and hoping we don't draw or lose another game.

I did say I could see us in the play offs and was accused of not being a true fan because I voiced that opinion
Its because i'm a true fan since the age of 6 I know wba far too well and far too long to know we rarely make it easy on ourselves
there are only 3 games left and if we think fulham is gonna to be an easy 3 pts hmmm!

Let's be proud and delighted at what Bilic has delivered in his 1st season no matter what. How many of us would have taken our position as it stands now at the beginning of the season. Bilic has signed several good players. A couple of Duffers. But we have played some great football this season no matter what happens.

Considering Slaven said in his first press conference that promotion is a 2 year project, I think the fact that there is 3 matches to go and promotion is in our hands says alot about him and his work this season.
I thought top 2 would be out of the picture with 4th or 5th a more reasonable objective and then promotion next season.

Having read all of the above, I truly sympathize with all of you, being a Baggies fan is great and tortuous in equal measures. Having been one of the best teams throughout most of the season, being in the top 2 for so long and having only lost a creditable 6 games so far, i'd be gutted to be edged out by Brentford at the end. That said, they have been a breath of fresh air and have a superb backline and forward line and aren't breathing down our necks by luck! I think if the season was 5-6 games longer, i'd fear for us, but i think we'll have enough to get over the line.
If we do make it to the promised land however, looking at Norwich and Viles season, i do fear the same for ourselves, Sheff Utd have done amazing considering their resources, but they went up with that mindset and kept it going, aard work and team play, it counts for a lot! Then when you get up their you have to compete with the likes of Citeh who have a license to print their own money and peel of 30-40-50m for a new tea lady at will and not be checked for it.
Dont know about you guys, I will be proud of our boys if they get promoted, however competing in this league is more fun and we are competitive. I'm not looking forward to one day trudging back from the shrine wondering how we lost another game again and looking up the table rather than down. These are strange times and just a different version of the rollercoaster we know and love so well that is the Albion, good luck on the last 3 games boys, we are here in spirit, albeit behind the sofa ringing the cat everytime we fubar!!!
