Would rather have our squad and manager than any one else below us.
Keep the faith.

So would I - I absolutely agree with you there, Squirrel.

Todays Evening Mail seems to suggest that Saido will start the game up front with Ideye back on the bench!

It's really quite simple. Beat Villa, QPR and Leicester, and we'll have 32 points, which will be drawing distance from safety this year. Fail to beat those teams, and we'll deserve to go down. I wouldn't say that I'm brimming with confidence, but there are some poor teams around us, and whatever else happens, the league table won't lie come May.

[Squirrel Regis]

QPR aside we haven't lost to any of the teams around us.
3-4 wins and a few draws will see us safe.
Sounds easy when put like that ! Draw tonight isn't the end of the world but 3 pts would be massive.
Fingers crossed & nervous like hell !

I would really be surprised if Ideye doesn't start... If he doesn't I would hope / be confident that TP is gonna say to him " you get 45 minutes like last week, prove it wasn't just a flash in the pan"

If he doesn't start, is Anichebe fit? Might not be able to watch tonight for the first time in absolutely ages. Don't know wether to find a dodgy stream, or just to close my eyes and try and not find out till MOTD later, makes it so tense though!!!

It’s like this. You will wonder why things are not going well. You will get anxious about results going against us. You will look at the table and feel us falling downwards like a lift with a broken cable. You will feel that everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Then; and this is the really wonderful thing about football; they will go out and WIN. This has always been The Albion way. Expect the unexpected. We will never have a life in the fast lane (unless they divert the M5). Confidence; Optimism and a voracious appetite for three points. Come on You Baggies.

If its 3-5-2 it could work. 4-4-2 is what I'm expecting though and their wingers will have a field day like always.

...as long as Brunty & Mac do their share of covering defensively - which I'm sure they will - IMO the numbers aren't relevant. Looks a good line up to me, I always like to see Mozza in that advanced MF role and with Fletch providing that stability AND passing ability behind him, that could do very well with 2 up front.
Looks as adventurous as we could've hoped for. Lets also hope that we hit 'em hard in the first 30 mins

Interesting to see Olly on the bench too....AND A GOOD SMATTERING OF FULLBACKS!!

Wow

What has Gamboa done
