Jim is going so it will be the inevitable defeat. 4-0 to WBA

Relegation scrap on the way if we don't sign a couple of goodies.

Bill Oddy and Tim Brook-Taylor ?

[Mercer]

We haven't a prayer on Saturday.

Think we are in for a 3 or 4 goal tonking.

All the time, JDT's reputation is diminishing.  Think someone posted on this MB JDT unsuccessfully applied for the Stoke job and was interviewed.  If correct, think that's indicative of how far his stock has fallen - JDT v Schumacher in the summer wouldn't have been a contest.

I didnt see such a post but if it did exist, I suspect it was as reputable as some of your pearlers. 

Nearly every prediction of yours is a thrashing either way.

I knew someone would name two of the three. I would have said TBT and Graeme Garden.

Bull...

[RTM08]

We need at least 2 goals to even have a chance of getting a point and that isn't going to happen. 

4-1 Baggies - this season is only going to get more depressing I'm afraid.

[Lancs Rover]

You do wonder how significant Travis's absence from the current set up will be. His expendable captain.

It was a big call by JDT

 

[philipl]

We are bottom of the current form table folks..

Another way of looking at it, this is a 6 pointer against one of the two in the play off places we realistically could still catch. Hull doubled over us so...

West Brom have been unpredictable and we should have our tails up.

A draw slightly more likely than a home win with Rovers prevailing a distant prospect.

So that 's Rovers win tomorrow

5-0 to WBA. easy for the Baggies.

Is Livermore still there? I'll miss his battle with Travis.

Plays for Watford. Was awful at Ewood 3 weeks ago

If it was really even JDTs call.

He spent all his first two windows telling us that ins and outs weren't his remit and those were handled above him.

He just coaches the players he is given.

Unless that's changed.

There is no doubt it will come back to bite us, no doubt at all but same as the Buckley issue if they want to run such a shallow squad full of inexperienced kids there'll always be a big risk.

Livermore played against us for Watford a few weeks ago.

Did you not see him. 

[Trinidad Rover]

Fear a bit of a pasting in this one. Jed Wallace and Swift back for them.

Team is somehow lighter than it was pre window. Will be interesting to see if Pears gets the GK spot back.

3-0 (minimum) for the Baggies, normal service to be resumed.

[neophox]

Baggies missing some good players away in africa championships and Phillips and some other players are out injured.

Also Swift and Wallace are doubts.

 

When is JDT presser today?

 

[neophox]

on the game I think we have to be on our very best to get something out of the game ....

With two under 21 matches (Sunday and Wednesday) maybe there will be an opportunity for some of the returnees to get some game time.

The bigger call was not playing him over the last few months. Hardly like he was getting a look in so I doubt there’ll be a big impact. I can’t understand why but JDT clearly doesn’t want Travis in the team and had no issues with him leaving.
