Match day Thread: West Brom v Rams

[Andy_Faber]

Any hope out there for a Rams victory?

[SithHappens]

Not for this one. 2 nil to West Brom

[MadAmster]

Will we see a much changed side or will we see pretty much the same side with just a couple of changes? Did the double over WBA last season. We can win this one too.

Anybody with access to Sky+ will be able to watch the game. Those without a Sky subscription will be in a "sticky" situation.

Wonder if there’s any chance of 17.5k pw Osborn or 5k pw Ward putting in an appearance? Be nice.

Quite fancy us to win on penalties but I’ll settle for no more injuries before Saturday comes.

2-0 defeat, despite rA's hope for no injuries a couple of hamstrings and the odd calf job inevitable.
Only the second game and I'm already depressed, mind you it is still the cricket season and the hottest spell of the summer! Too early to take footie seriously, we need 🌧️ and less of this☀️ Bah humbug!

[Geoff Parkstone]

lets play predict the injury before each game: name the player and the injury, together with a prediction for how long out for. We can make this a season long game!

I will go for - Clark ACL season long

Imagine the scenario, team sheet goes up for the next match first player to view
'oh **** I'm playing, that's me done for the season'!

Surprise 2-0 victory

[swaledale]

I think Eustace will change things a little, to give other players more minutes on the pitch and no doubt the Baggies will do the same.

2-1 WBA for me.

A very different side. 9 changes…and Joe Ward starts!

[Geoff Parkstone]

As does Wildsmith

[ramAnag]

First half observations.
1. If it was a boxing match it would’ve been stopped.
2. New away kit is nice.

Lol! Remember where you heard it first!

Vickers excellent, as he always is. Luxury problem having him and JWZ available. Almost a replay of the Stoke game. Little possession. Most 2nd balls falling to them. Their high press was as effective as Stoke's. When we got the ball, we were immediately under pressure with no positive outlet. Only options were a backwards pass or a lump forward. Could it be that we don't have the right fit personnel for JE's preferred 14231 system? Baath five yards out of position for their goal, just as Ozoh was for Stoke’s equaliser… both had been on the field 2-3 minutes and just not up to speed. Their original markers had just gone off. We really need to improve our handling of the type of press both Stoke and WBA used or we will be in huge bother and that has to start Saturday lunch against Coventry.

We showed, yet again, that we can defend with the best of them. Felt sorry for Daj who didn't get one decent ball all game.

Robbery, but hey Im not compaining
