If everyone in the squad is fit (Morrison and McAuley apart), that starting 11 is not really set up to have a go at Bournemouth. Deeply worrying. I'm sure Pulis has the idea of keeping a clean sheet until around 70 mins and then send on Rondon, Chadli and Robson-Kanu to rescue the game. Typical of the last Third of last season. Wow.

[viaductbaggies]

Bloody Nora what a starting 11 !!!!

Is Rodriguez up to the lone striker role?
I guess we are about to find out.

well pulis is never gonna be that adventurous and play two up top is he HLC?,and obviously prefers rodders than rondon

[holmleighchris]

You can play a good defensive game with 2 up front whilst at the same time worrying the opposition. That's how Hodgson did it, with 2 attacking wide players to boot.
Not the Pulis way so no surprise.

[Londonbaggie1968]

At least our new home kit looks fit for purpose...........

Any streams? Looking poor on the ground this season

[SwedishBaggie]

Good chance Rodriguez, should have been 1-0. Good save.

Vipleague is working ok-ish.

[SwedishBaggie]

Possession Bournemouth, creating chances Albion.

[SwedishBaggie]

Yes, 1-0, and deservedly so! COYB!!!

[holmleighchris]

Enjoyable watch that first half. Rodriguez looks the business, Phillips & McClean both very lively. Nyom playing very well. Much more comfortable on the right. Yacob's booking was yet another silly, avoidable one. Seems he is going to be going up for the corners this season.Their keeper, as stated in commentary should have come for the cross that led to the goal.
I've got a good stream 53 but not through the computer.

Just looked at the half times, Chelsea 0 Burnley 3!!!

Crazy Chris. hope they stick a few more in.

[SwedishBaggie]

Was that handball (not deliberate) just by Bournemouth? Showed it quite a few times on replay.

[SwedishBaggie]

YYYEEESSS!!!! Good start to the season! COYB!!!

[BaggiefromStafford]

First win under our belt, 37 points to go.

[holmleighchris]

Decent performance that. Soaked up what Bournemouth had to offer quite comfortably and always looked the most likely to score.
I'll stay with Nyom as MOTM but there wasn't a poor performance from anybody.
Not sure on the Dawson stamping incident. The commentators were convinced it was deliberate, I didn't think it was, but I am somewhat biased.
Beer tonight I think.

[WBA53]

Well done to the baggie boys,always pleased to be proven wrong

[boingy]

Good solid performance by the team and individuals, hard to choose a motm. Incidentally we had more chances in the first 15 minutes than Liverpool had their whole match, so no need for comments on us not making enough chances. Bournmouth on the other hand saw first hand what a good solid baggies defence can do to teams, they were restricted to shooting outside the box but with no sight of goal even then. A few decent signings and we can be confident of our club making progress.

Hearing Rondon threw his shirt on the floor full time and stormed off down the tunnel,seems he's not a happy chappy

That's not good news. The fact Kanu Robson got on before him wouldn't have pleased him I don't suppose.

I'm'sure'Gary'will'"have'word";D

[Londonbaggie1968]

Very happy with the win and thought we performed reasonably well; Rodriguez was impressive and Hagezy looked solid and took his header well.
Rondon looks spent to me, with a poor attitude, and I really hope that we can bring in another striker and a couple of creative additions before the close of the month.
Another positive, the Vile are already in 20th place in the Championship. Just beautiful. A good weekend to all.
