WBA vs Millwall & Derby - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 09-09-2021

With the internationals out of the way, it's time to resume the promotion charge with back-to-back home matches in the coming week. Millwall are Saturday afternoon's visitors, having just achieved their first win of the season over ten-man Blackpool in their last outing, while Derby will be Tuesday evening's opposition as Wayne Rooney looks to build on his somewhat haphazard managerial career so far, and carry the Rams up towards the end of the table they're more accustomed to.
The Baggies performance at London Road didn't quite hit the heights set by our explosive season opening, though Peterborough played well and defended doggedly right up until our last-gasp winner. It's perhaps an early warning of what may be in store if we run out of steam playing Valerian's energetic style of football, though the ability to grind out three points by hook or by crook bodes well nevertheless. On paper, we should have enough to deal with Millwall and Derby on home turf, though both sides have proven tough customers on visits to the Hawthorns in recent years. Either way, the longer we keep our August momentum going into autumn, the better.
They Played For Both

I'll happily take the low-hanging fruit - 13=George Thorne

Actually, 13 is the half-German, half-Cockney inside-forward Ron-Reg Goethe. His mother named him after the Kray brothers, and he gave up a promising career in philosophy to be a footballer when Brian Clough spotted him playing keepy-up with a copy of Das Kapital at a miners' gala. His Albion stay was a brief one - he was prone to injuries of the soul, and didn't get on all that well with the head physio at the time, Dr Faust - and after retiring he opened up a sweet shop in the East End (The Sorrows of Young Werther's Originals). Nice fella.
That'll teach you to leave the low-hanging fruit alone

I had no idea that the excellent Mr Kilbane played for the Rams, but he is number 12 and I claim my £5.
