What we all need right now: a day out with the boys/girls, an away win, and a nice sing-song on the way home. Maybe not the pickled eggs, though (could lob these out the window)

Reckon Zac to get the winner tomorrow, then give it the full Jim Bowen to Swansea after “look at what you coulda won”

Celebrate with lashings of pickled eggs* on the way home

 

*One for the Enid Blyton fans, nearly.

I have no idea how we’re going to do today.

We seem a bit of a toothless mess at the moment and the Swansea win odds of 11/10 look like an easy way to more than double your money………..however away from home we can chuck in a Millwall like performance and look decent.

Overall a lack of a cutting edge makes a draw probably our best outcome, although those Swansea odds look very tempting to ease the pain of another defeat should it happen!

So is TGH a midfielder or a right back? When we landed him in I was under the impression he was a right back but apparently he's meant to be a midfielder? Whatever Pearson brought him in to do I hope he's not just switched between the two positions, that's not going to get him consistent if one game he's a right back and the next he's in midfield. 

Also, if he's a right back and he does well and we complete the signing what does that mean for McCrorie and Tanner? Will Tanner be back up and McCrorie goes into midfield? I mean I'm glad we have some players who are versatile but what ever happened to players specialising in one position?

McCrorie was signed as FB, TGH as MF but as we only have Tanner ATM he will be used as cover/change. That's what I got from Nige's interviews. Long term I think TGH is MF.

It's ok, good even to have players that can cover another position/s over & above where they specialise.

I'm always wary, maybe wrongly, of the player that no one seems to know where they are best placed!

Not expecting us to produce a shot on target today let alone any goals judging by what we've seen so far this season.  I guess the sheep are going to have more excitement than we are.

Are our players really that bad or is it down to tactics (or possibly a lack of any).

Did you not watch the Hull game? 

Swansea have had a very indifferent start to the season.

I mean if that's the case I hope TGH is used in midfield and not as a right back, I mean it's going to be hard for him to integrate into the midfield role if he's being used as a right back again.

This is what bothers me I guess, we have so many players who technically can fall into that category of "what's their best position?", TGH, McCrorie, Bell, Mehmeti, Cornick, Naismith, Weimann.. that's a lot of players. I mean it's great to have players that can cover each other but I'd say of those names I mentioned and although you probably could say where each of these players are best I would argue that all don't have a "set position" so to speak.

The Baggies faithful posting on their forum were of the opinion he wasn't best suited to the full back role - what do the fans know! ?

Maybe you shouldn't bother anymore then must be something else to do today?
