I like the cut of your jib, valpayne!
Agree with all you've said - those who don't rate TP as a good Manager/HC should just look at the results he gets. Simples!

If I was being critical though I'd just like him to mix it up a little - we're too predictable, especially away. The best performance by far was v West Ham, but I think I'm right in saying that THAT starting line up hasn't been picked since. We need Sess, or Mac, for that bit of pace & creativity
...Yacob, Fletcher AND Gardner, IMO, don't give us much creativity - obviously TP sees Fletch as almost undroppable but the difference was seen when he was cup tied v WHam and Sess replaced him. I'm not saying it's that simple at all, to me it just indicates that maybe 2 of these 3 plus Sess may give us better balance

UH-OH.....

Victor Anichebe is still ruled out with a groin problem, while Callum McManaman has a foot injury and Stephane Sessegnon is also doubtful because of personal issues.

Baggies boss Tony Pulis will send his team into FA Cup quarter final action against Aston Villa demanding a positive response after Tuesday's last gasp Premier League defeat.

But he admits that there are concerns over several players potentially being unavailable.

“Callum has done a little bit of work today but we’re not sure if he’ll be fit for Saturday," said Pulis.

"That’s been a little bit of a set-back for because we certainly need his trickery, especially at the back-end of games.

"It would have been nice to have brought him on on Tuesday having wrestled the initiative off Villa. "We could have done with that little bit of extra quality up front.

“Sessegnon has had one or two very poor personal problems that are really disappointing at the moment for himself - well devastating for himself. So we have had to go careful with Sess as well.”

C'mon Sess - WE NEED YOU!!
