Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2019 Fitness- Everyone is fit except Wildsmith but he's back out on the training pitch too. Credit the medical team. We have a full squad. That's good. Perfect timing. Tough decisions. Centre half- The good thing is it's perfect timing to have a clean bill of health as we approach the busiest time of the season. These next two or three months are hectic and I said before the international break everyone is going to have to be ready for when called upon. Bodes well for the coming period. Liam Shaw Loan - They come through the academy and unless you're an exceptional talent coming straight in to the first team and playing 30 ,40 games, which is rare, especially if you look at the Championship, maybe less in the Premier but in the Championship it's a lot more difficult because of the demands of the league physically. Young players come through and 23's football isn't quite enough but they're not quite ready for the first team they're in that in-between bit so it's great they can go out and get experience and , proper football, mens football, and playing in a team where you have to play to win. EFL - It's a surprise. The communication between the club and the EFL has been really good. I don't think anyone saw this coming. The charges are a surprise. The strangeness is that the EFL ratified and agreed to everything. But that's a club issue. It doesn't affect my daily training. West Brom - They're the best team in the league so far. They have huge quality in their squad. Their manager has come in and done a great job. But these are the challenges , but the players are looking forward to it judging by the two weeks we've just had together. Every team feels they can beat every other team on the day. It's doable , that's how we view it. We focus on ourselves! We fear no one! Conceding late - Frustrating of course, we want to win, but that's football. It happens, we work on things we can work on. The Game management for example. Situations. We've gone through that. Those periods. IT's not so much things you can work on tactically, the state of the game , the last 15 is emotional, you can't recreate 30,000 people and the atmosphere in training. But you can show the players visually and try and show the players what to do and we've done that work, plus more. It's been a great period. I can't wait to get into this next tough period . It'll be a tough one, but we have that mentality, we'll come out fighting hard. Doom - What's the mood been like? Great! We've done a lot of work. We spend a lot of time with each other. You need a positive atmosphere to do well, we're always going to have stones thrown at us or whatever you want to call it. Hurdles. We stick together,y'know. We have to have the mentality and we've done really good, hard work in the International period. We're very positive. Doom - Oh... erm..how happy have you been? Me? Really happy. Really good. It's been a brilliant couple of weeks. Defensively there's things we need to get better at we've looked at those. We've worked on the offensives side of it. The application has been really good. The proof is in the games of course, but it's been a good two weeks on the training pitch but we're itching to get back into playing games. Doom - Coming back to (the more depressing) EFL charges, how confident are you that the players won't become distracted by it? The reality is it doesn't directly affect how we train every day. We approach games to win matches and that's what we focus on that's what we've seen in the mentality in the International break. Club, fans players we come out playing. We just focus on that. We're really positive. Doom - Mmmm --------------------------------------- West Brom - V - Wednesday Saturday 23rd November 15:00 Kick off The Hawthorns ---------------------------------------- West Brom take on Sheffield Wednesday minus midfielders Jake Livermore and Romaine Sawyers, whose bookings in the 1-0 win at Hull took both to five - and earned them an automatic one-game ban. Owls old boy Chris Brunt, Gareth Barry, Rekeem Harper and Filip Krovinovic are all in contention to plug the two gaps. Barry, Brunt, Kieran Gibbs and Chris Willock all stepped up their match fitness in the Baggies reserves' 4-0 Central League Cup midweek win over Port Vale, while Albion also have the option of redeploying Ahmed Hegazi or Semi Ajayi. Wednesday manager Garry Monk has a fully-fit squad to choose from to face the Championship leaders. Midfielder Massimo Luongo is available after missing three league matches. The Owls have not won in three games since Luongo limped out of the 1-0 home victory over Stoke on 22 October, in which he scored the winner, and have dropped from third to eighth in the table, now eight points behind table-topping Albion. Kosovo striker Atdhe Nuhiu and Scotland defender Liam Palmer, though, are fit to play following international duty. ---------------------------------------- POSSIBLE LINE UPS WEST BROM ------------ Johnstone Furlong Ajayi Bartley Townsend Krovinovic Brunt Phillips Pereira Diangana Austin --------------------------------------- SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY ------------ Westwood Palmer Iorfa Borner Fox Hutchinson Reach Lee Bannan Harris Fletcher ---------------------------------------- COME ON WEDNESDAY! 29 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offalyowl Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Brilliant as always snoots and it's good that you put it up early as there wasn't much to talk about this week apart from the cowboys that are in the efl, anyway it's great we have a fully fit team and let's hope we come away with 3 points and close the gap to the playoffs.

How is he these days? Don't worry about me lads. I'm still about. He thought I'd got a bit above my station. Not sure why, I only copied and pasted the team news off the BBC for him. But there we go. He's the boss so that's that. Don't fret about me, I won't vanish full stop, I'm still here, somewhere, lurking around the back of the twisted mind of the Hargreaves fella. Like most of us are. Invented and then left to our own devices. It's a bit like Pinocchio really isn't it? Hargreaves fashions us all but then we become real. Who knows, maybe some posters are real. Are you real? It's hard to know. But it's not a bad life here in Snoot Town. I can't complain too much, I've got Friday nights off now too. Back in the darts team after a 3 year absence. I'm sure he'll be back on the blower as soon as results start going south. Anyway, must dash. Mrs Wankskill at the Navvies Arms has asked me to nip over and give her pipes a good clean out. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHero Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 We're facing tough opponents at the WBA... Little surprise Livermore and Sawyers are suspended. Let's hope, Big Adthe can deliver a knock out performance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Bonvin Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks Milord. Good to have the OMDT back, but they are getting earlier.... I’m expecting to see the Birmingham one on here before 6pm tomorrow. As for the Throstles game, I’ll be happy with a draw tomorrow. We’ve had better weeks off the field, but hopefully it won’t have got to the players. Nice to see Doom is on hand to cheer us up though as ever. I’ve actually started my Christmas shopping by purchasing one of the new range of Howson mugs for Mrs Bonvin. Hope she likes it. Up the Owls. Ferk the EFL.

Rev Owl Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Head says we're going to lose because we're the nearly men 2-0. Heart says come on Wednesday we've got this, this is our time, Monk is our man 0-2. TBF though I'm feeling quite tired and not thinking straight so this will probably look ridiculous in the morning.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) From 56 years ago. Alan Finney x 2 Colin Dobson x 2 and a wonder goal by David (Bronco) Layne. A superb performance from Dobson who created Laynes goal in super fashion keepy uppy with a series of overhead kicks as Layne raced in from 40 yards out. The timing of Dobson was fabulous as he timed his lob into the box. Layne met the ball diving header style with his nose close to the ground about 15 yards out and crashed his unstoppable header to the left side of the net. But this wasn't West Brom, it was Wolves and it was exactly one day after Kennedy was shot. It was upsetting because not long before we thought we were all going to die in a nuclear war, but Kennedy and khruschev got their heads together. The Cuba crisis was dissipated and the cold war began to cool. Wednesday 5-0 Wolves. Edited November 23, 2019 by nevthelodgemoorowl 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
