Looking very good for the Albion, we still have work to do in our last 2 games, its not over till the fat lady sings but I think she is warming her vocal chords. Some fairy tale it will be if we make the championship.
Only 4 games left and still plenty of twists to come I think. Tonight was a good point against Wigan in the end but more encouraging is the fact that our form is improving.
Both clubs have come a long way since I first saw them play each other in the early 70's, an FA Trophy game at Springfield Park which Wigan won 5-0 ! Seem to remember a winger called Micky Worswick who ran us ragged.
A million miles away from that tonight, we showed signs of recovering our form...
Our failure to invest in January is hitting home hard now. We have looked nothing like a team going for promotion since the 4-0 win at Vale. We really need something from our next 2 games and that will be difficult at home against Barnsley and Wigan.
Relying on young inexperienced players far...
1974/5 FA Trophy semi final defeat to Matlock Town. Won 1st leg away 1-0 and had 2 disallowed then lost the home leg 0-2.
We were so much better than them it was absurd how we lost. The pain of that defeat didn't leave until we got promotion to the football league 34 years later in 2008/9 season !
I actually think Choudury is going to be an excellent player, he is only 18 and a bit over eager at present, steep learning curve for him.
Hopefully Weir has a blinder next week and we put out our best midfield with Naylor and Butcher. Would like to see young Walker start in place of Bennett and...
I'm confident we will get enough points to get over the line. That late 92nd minute goal yesterday will have done the players the power of good.
Young Tyler Walker looks like he knows here the onion bag is, just what we need.
Wigan in the form they are in any with the money they have been able to invest in the squad do look odds on favourites for the title. I think that is obvious to any one. Albion look favourites for the runners up spot and just how important was Tyler Walkers 92nd minute goal was yesterday to...
With 91 minutes on the clock we looked like without doubt we had blown our chances, 92 minutes on the clock and a great bit of play from Lucas Atkins creates a chance which young Walker buries with style. A point rescued from a poor performance which following Walsall's defeat at Blades turns...
Not sure if there will be a change in formation from the off or later in the game with Tyler Walker or Mason Bennett upfront with Beavon or whether Camsdell Sherriff and Weir will return. Something for Flitcroft to ponder over.
Shit or bust as I said earlier, my gut feeling is we will win this...
I am a big fan of "our Nige" too. I think a lot of our younger supporters have been swayed on the outburst from Sheep and Blades fans regarding his supposed negative football. He was on a hiding to nothing when he came back, he will do his utmost to get us up with a possibly smaller budget than...
Was once mistaken for Peter Ward, started his career at Albion, played for Brighton and then Forest.
It happened in the Albion social club after a game when Ward was at Forest, this guy was going on about the hat trick I had scored at the weekend( I had scored a hat trick in the local sunday...
1. Its been an incredible journey so far, losing Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink when we did was disappointing especially seeing as we had just gone top of the league. However was delighted to see the return of Nigel Clough and he has done well to keep the momentum going.
To be top of the league by a...
Tactically spot on from Millwall, well played.
For the 1st time this season I can see us struggling, maybe lack of strength in depth is going to catch up with us. Hope not, we need to show some real bottle theses next dew weeks.
