I expect they will go for it - they have to. We will sit deep and try to hit them on the break but sadly I fear they will out run and out fight us in midfield.

0-2 West Brom. Both from dead ball crosses. This is one of those games where a draw Is a good result - purely because it will ensure the WBA relegation fight gathers no momentum.

this is going to be one for the purists. May get the odd burst of excitement if WBA aim to hit us on the counter attack. I wouldn't expect us to attack them with too much intent.

Had a weird dream last night. It was so real. We played really poorly against the Baggies who were peppering our goal from all angles. Suddenly one of our players broke away - all he had to do was push the ball toward a teammate who would have scored. Instead he belted it out of play (I was stood on the touch line, the only spectator, and shouted 'rubbish' at him - I did actually say 'rubbish - I didn't swear, although I was tempted to). The Baggies missed an absolute sitter with the last kick of the game and the next thing was the interviewer saying to Roy 'that's 35 points, Roy, another hard earned 0-0).

I'm wondering whether I ought to change my earlier prediction.

We have to win as that will give us 37 points and in the recent passed that has been the average number of points needed to stay up. If BFS does put one over on us and Fulham win then we are only 5 points off 18 place and with the joint third worst goal difference then relegation will become a real concern!

Don't entirely agree on that. We still don't have a big enough cushion from 18th place to be in any way relaxed, but I hope your score prediction is correct.

If we lose this, we would be right back in it given the tough run of fixtures coming up.
