I will be there Saturday, block E12 row L, first game of the season, only managed a game or so a season for the last few years and does not make good reading, Albion 2 Wigan 3, Albion 2 Leicester 3, Albion 0 Watford 1.
Hoping to break a jinx stretching back to Albion 4 Wet Shan 0 in the FA cup.
Come on you Baggies.
Well it looks like my jinx is over .... good game played well .... a little disappointed with Rondons first touch, deft they weren't but he was in there battling, any news on Daws. Still disappointed with the lack of noise in the brummie, can we get it rocking like the good ole days.
Sadly I think some overly officious stewarding has played a big part in killing the atmosphere in the Brummie over the past few seasons. I'm always vocal and like to get songs and chants going, and I've had stewards asking me to sit down despite being sat right at the back of the stand most times I've recently been in the Brummie so always prefer the Smethwick now.
As for the game today I was disappointed that we weren't more clinical with our chances as we were rocking at the end and two good saves from Foster keep the three points for us.
I felt Bournemouth were very lucky to have 11 men on the field though after Cook's cynical shoulder charge on Rondon where he clearly had no intention of playing/challenging for the ball.
Livermore looked worth every bit of the £10 million we paid for him and Nyom despite his poor early challenge to give away the pen had a decent game and bombed forward in attack superbly when given the chance.
Rondon worked his socks off as always and I think despite having some really loose close control at times he still drags us up the pitch playing off runners from midfield. If he had a better first touch we'd be having more offers of circa 30 odd million from teams other than Chinese ones haha.
