Score predictions - West Brom home

No he still to blame but its shared out equally between you conway and margret thatcher.

 

Just read on the official preview that WBA haven't won at Oakwell in their last 18 visits going back to 1947. Oh dear, in this record breaking season for all the wrong reasons, I think that's another record we're likely to lose.

 

5-1. West Brom.

 

Depends how Poya plays this for me, if he is ultra defensive we lose if we have ago at em it maybe a close run thing.

Red Army.

 

So you read the preview on the West Brom forum, but you didn't read mine?

 

There's always a lot of predictions of 4+ goals.

I know we've been toilet this season, but barring visits to the best 2 teams in the division, nobody has really blown us away.

 

And Obbi Oulare, don't let him get away without any blame.

 

Really surprised by that. I was at 17 of those 18 games and I never realised we had such a good home record against them. Just goes to show you, erm, summat.

 

Looking like ultra defensive again. https://www.barnsleychronicle.com/a...son-since-1900-but-poya-wants-winning-machine

“It’s about our defensive organisation. We talked a lot about it before Peterborough (a 0-0 draw on November 27) where we were compact and difficult to play. The last two weeks we have focused a lot on our offence and created more chances. Against West Brom we have to be solid and compact. We know a team like West Brom can punish us a lot more than our recent opponents.”

Trouble is, if we perform like we did against Peterborough tomorrow, WBA will still beat us.

 

If we lose tomorrow it will be the lowest points total for the first half of a season since 1900.

According to Poya Asbaghi "“When we start winning we can create a machine that just keeps winning”
I presume this interview took place at the works Christmas party around 3am ?

 

Think you have a lot more faith in the guy than me at this moment in time.

 

I'm just not warming to this guy at all. That sounds harsh as he's been dropped into a very difficult situation and has to work small miracles in a short space of time. Despite his english being good, I just find him very blah.

I've not seen a full game of his yet, so the west brom game will be the first I've seen start to end. I'm interested to see what he's changed and the effect that has, but his interviews pre and post match just aren't doing it for me.

 

Didn’t say I had any faith in him, just posted a quote from him.

I sighed when I read that article. I agreed with what poya was saying initially when he joined, in that we had to get some organisation. But now we have done that, we need some battle to go with it. Doesn’t matter how organised you are if you’re second best in every challenge.

 

0-5.

General sale for a measly 2,000 allocation on Mad Friday for a big city side pushing for promotion? I expected them to bring what Sheffield United and Huddersfield Town brought 4,000+.

 

I reckon if we were in there position we'd have pissed 2,000 sold for tomorrow night. I remember when we completely filled behind the goal so because of pay on the day they had to allow some of our fans down the side of the home end. But then Barnard put one in the net and they all got removed.

 

Sorry fella dint read Chron article and eyes struggling with speech marks. Don`t think am going to listen/read his interviews anymore.

For me that Swansea game was an all time low and then to make out we are progressing in the next few games well we couldn`t be regressing from that start could we The Preston game we went for it a bit more and yet for an almighty **** up may have got a point, yet he talks as though those first few performances have somehow strengthened our defence. Aye reight.

 

2-0 Reds (Woodrow 2)

 

As we were only formed in 1887, that is some record to break.

Also, I will be interested to see how many players WBA have who have a) never scored, b) not scored this season, c) not scored for NN games, d) never scored against Barnsley, etc., as we always help them get these monkeys off their backs. We can probably add these to the 1947 record breaker.

 

All I'm going to predict is thus, Ladies & Gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts. We're in for a bumpy ride.
