It’s definitely sh*t or bust tonight. I will watch the game hiding behind the settee!
Ok there are still three games left but tonight is the big game. Win and we are virtually there. Draw and we still have a decent shout with Huddersfield and a QPR side who are already on the beach to come. Lose and it’s probably the playoff lottery. A bit worried we have had one day less rest than Fulham. Maybe some fresh legs needed. COYB tonight is the night.

Mr Bilic says Albion have to be brave, he needs to be brave and pick the right team, which I hope doesn’t include the likes of Harper, Kanu, Bartley or Phillips
The subs that came on the pitch Saturday clearly weakened the team and this was extremely frustrating. Kanu, Philips, Robinson and HRK have been shocking since the matches resumed. You want positive so here you are - Brunt steadied the ship when he came on in the recent game - O’Shea has been exceptional and so has Grosicki. You have to tell it the way it is! Bit like saying Johnstone in goal could play for Barcelona when it’s a fact he’s not a patch on Foster!

Quite right. The reason we are in the top two has been largely because of the season players like Kanu have had. Soon forgotten. The trouble is they view Kanu as an all out and out striker even when he is classed as a winger/attacking midfielder/forward. 3 roles. Austin is just a striker and falls far short of the figure you would expect him to score when that's his only job.
Thomas Henry Alex "Hal" Robson-Kanu (born 21 May 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for West Bromwich Albion. Although he initially played primarily on the wing, he has also been used as a forward, including during Wales' run to the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2016. (WIKIPEDIA) Hals problem is that some supporters have it fixed in their heads that he is an all out and out striker. For a winger/attacking midfielder/forward to get 10 goals is a good yield by anyone's standards. Happy for Austin to play if he bangs the goals in. Lets hope he does tonight. Harper Bartley and Phillips can all play well, but Phillips has fallen short recently, and Harper is no Livermore. Yet.
All eyes on Bilic later on. It'll al boil down to his decision making, so for a start, let's hope there are no hidden injuries from Saturday.
