West Brom 2-0 rovers. Match review

[rog of the rovers]

I think that Sinama will start on the bench instead of Johnson, possibly Olsson instead of Peter. Apart from that the same team that started last night.

[Bobby G]

Olsson is one for the future. There is no way in hell he will be on the bench.

Besides the reasoning I gave, their league ended in November and he hasnt played since then.

Our new friend Mark Hansen (lol) has predicted only Rovers 2nd win of the season for this game. 1-2 Rovers he's gone

[Manchester Blue]

We won last time he predicted us to get a result.

[Tris]

Following all of the comments on here I have bought tickets in the away end for the three of us. Look forward to seeing some of you there.

I've still got your Cardiff programme from 2002 - should I bring it???!!!

[BRFC4EVA]

According to some guy on the official site, there was 800 sold by tues evening. Obviously with 5 days of sales, that manu win and the fact its pay on the day (which im doing) should see a travelling support of 1,500ish

Good idea Tris. It'll be good to see you mate.

[SAS]

this game will be no walk in the park, wba are a tough team at home me thinks.

although they have just sold in my view, their best striker, earnshaw :s

dont think bellers will be availiable, so it will be :

friedel

neill, todd, nelsen, gray

bentley, reid, sav, MGP

kuqi , pongolle

tugs will be on bench for a rest

wba to hammer us 5-0

Then I realized that I don’t know anyone who supports West Brom.

Frank Skinner? Only contactable through his agency. Sod that. Then I thought of “Godber,” Norman Stanley Fletcher’s cell-mate in “Porridge.” But that was just silly, although he was a Baggies fan.

Wrong there, me old fruit.

Lenny Godber was a Villa fan.

Reasonable effort though. 7/10

[Ozz]

And of course dead.

[RoyRover]

We have to follow up Wednesday's great win, with three points against the Baggies. If we do and results go our way, then we could be one point off Spurs. WBA have been fighting for survival again this season and I think that they lost their last game. We are going into this game full of confidence and with the run that we are on, we should be able to win. It will be interesting to see what team Hughes puts out. I can see him going with the same team from Wednesday, although I'd like to see Pongolle and Emerton start instead of Kuqi and Tugay.

Rovers win 3-1, Pongolle, Pedersen and Bentley to score fro us, with Quashie scoring on his debut.

[philipl]

A Baggies preview.

One of those "we really ought to beat this lot" sort of games which we have so often come up short in.

Sparky has generally made us of sterner stuff so it would be a real aberration to lose our 9th game of the season at The Hawthorns but we have had a few bad'uns in those eight defeats so far.

[ihateburnley]

Just out of interest, which pub is everybody thinking of meeting up in? This is going to be my first away game this season so I plan to make it a good 'un.

[Paul]

For some reason I can't get on the official site. Can someone post the ticket prices - adult and junior - I'm thinking about going. Never been to WBA and after Wednesday I need another fix.....quick!

What's the parking like in the area?

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

Teamtalk reporting that Savage is struggling to be fit (ankle) after Rio's challenge, contrary to earlier reports.

It also says that Pongolle is struggling with flu and that Bellamy is 'close' to a return.

http://www.teamtalk.com/teamtalk/News/Stor..._995466,00.html

I reckon Sav will make it and it'll be Bentley and Kuqi up top again.

[Flopsy]

£25 for adults £10 for kids (I think) Parking's alright Straight down the M5 (I think its junction 1 but could be wrong) Im getting the Metro or train out from the City Centre

[Paul]

Thanks Flopsy I just need a weekend pass now

[Neil Weaver]

Btw, I think i missed his prediction for the Manure game

R4e, 1-0 to MU. Yours sincerely, Hairdresser Stalker.

[Presty On Tour]

i think if sav doesn't make it, the midfield would be@

m.g.p tugs reid emerton

emerton to get another crack @it.

did anyone see against man utd when neil put away the pen the reaction of tugay???

the camera was on hughsey n the management staff and tugay was in the picture necking a bottle of lucazade, neil put it away and tugay went wild!!!

was well good scenes, for a 35 year old, seing the emotion and how much it means to him still, he's just a legend!!!!

[OJRovers]

Running the risk of repeating previous questions - but time has passed since - IS BELLAMY going to be fit enough for the bench on Sat?

I see it as a choice between him or pong on the bench

Although... Bentley can be converted to midfield.. so 2 strikers on the bench is a possibility.

[pleasure]

looking forward to the trip. i'd take 1-0

TEAM NEWS:-

team is as usual +

reid to play centre mid, emo right, kuqi and bentley to continue upfront.

subs, zurab, axe, pongolle, peter, enks.

Top bloke though.
