v WBA (a) - 12/2/2025

[BankEnd Rover]

Look at their front 3 then look at ours? 

[simongarnerisgod]

i only deduce that hedges is starting because he`ll track back and mark his opponent,kargbo looks a bit of a flyer who likes to attack,personally id`e have started him,i don`t like digging in for a draw,which it appears we`ve lined up for

Rubbish team.

Comfortable home win.

Yeah, Weimann, Dolan, Hedges - why.

[BigHoz]

Imagine being given a shot at managing a team and you stick that line up out 😂 que the 1-0 rovers.

ummmmmm yeah so that happened

So one out of six of our January signings starting.

Says it all.

Bloody hell Lowey, you had 1 job! 😂

They look like they’re being taken out to be shot.

[Polky]

Beck, hamstring injury?

Hopefully it’s not a serious as Pickering’s.

And the one wouldn’t be starting if Beck wasn’t injured.

[Trinidad Rover]

I was at QPR last week and thought I might never have to see Dolan, Weiman, Hedges as a front 3 again.

I was wrong. Dear me. 

They are ‘good lads’ in the coaches eyes though I bet…

[Dreams of 1995]

We never win at the Hawthorns so that alone fills me with dread

Do not understand the issue with the team. Same lads who have us in 6th place. If anything I'd have liked to have seen Dennis in for Weimann and given more of a free role

As it stands, we have a bench of Cantwell, ACD, Dennis and Kargbo. Plenty of options

Game plan is clear - keep it tight early doors and introduce some pace later on in the game. One thing Lowe will have is plenty of experience of Mowbray. Onwards & upwards

[Atko's Engine]

Lowe clearly making a point re poor recruitment in support of Eustace by not picking any of the new signings apart from Ribiero, & that only cos Beck is injured.

Just when you expect him to put it in the box…

Clash ot the Titans.

Tony Mowbray v David Lowe.

Like two bald men fighting over a comb.

One of the six vaunted signings in the club's pathetic statement starting. Nice one. Good backing there. 

And the one who does start only does so because of injury.

I’d say it’s more that Foreshaw, Woodrow and Sanderson are shit and Dennis has played about 1 hour in a year.

Kargbo should be starting now over Hedges though

But yeah, see the above and considering its the middle of February = shite transfer window

Same lads that have lost 5 of the last 6 in all competitions.

Thanks! Gave me a much needed chuckle.

[Old Codger]

Can't see us taking anything other than a beating with that line up. Heads will drop once we go behind, inevitably to an Armstrong tap in, and that will be that.

Hang on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen. Kansas is about to go bye bye...

Pass me them thar red pills...

[...]

Out of anyone there why not start Kargbo the lad proved he's more than deserving of a starting place

[superniko]

WBA squad is like a whose who of players we’ve been linked with over the last few years (or players Chaddy wanted us to sign)
Styles, Wallace, Swift and Maja

Mowbray highlighted Hedges and Dolan as threats on the break (😂), so Lowey obliged him by starting both.

[sharpysharps86]

Crikey, that front 4 is not the one.

WBA comfortable win here.
