Match Day Thread West Brom vs QPR

I thought Mastertson was looking quite promising, but he was awful last night.
Definitely need a decent centre back. I wouldn't let Cameron back into the squad at all. He's "gone" and was just terrible last night.
Amos is poor, which means we need a defensive midfielder to play alongside Ball and possibly another midfield player too if we play a three.
The lanky lad from the Laticks looks ok.
Kakay is very inexperienced but could come good at right back. He must stop diving in mind.

 

Definitely agree about Cameron. The bloke is a liability when in possession. I like Kakays enthusiasm and hopefully his positioning will improve. Why oh why we try passing the ball out from the back when we clearly arent capable is beyond me. A new centre back, a new left back as I think Manning will leave, a replacement for Eze and BOS, a central midfielder......a striker...sweet jesus we need a new team!!!

 

Eze was very good last might, but so was Diangana.

 

I dont think Chair is close to replacing Eze myself. Hope we can raise enough funds by selling him, Manning, and a Keeper to get a more physical presence in up front, in central midfield, CB and a LB. But unfortunately it looks like we are letting BOS go way too low. A bidding war on Eze may see him go unfortunately as well, but it should be well over 20 million. Those funds will need using well.

 

Was he not substituted?
Eze was class.

 

Hope so. Although Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday and of course Cardiff are proof enough that there are still many reckless owners out there who struck lucky once and think they have the Midas touch. Put them in charge of your transfer purchases and you will get suckered in to pay over the odds for players who are well past their sell by date. Especially if they have a commonal garden Harold Redknapp type character advising them

 

Keep up Bob. Ossie and I worked that out yesterday. D'you reckon we could persuade Boris or Rishi or our man in government the Govemeister to give us some money?. They've promised it to everyone else who has asked. I know I know, Should be on the Politics Thread. Just could not resist.

 

Masterson definitely needs more game time before we can make a really fair judgement. Agree there is potential but we all know he's far from the finished article, which sadly means he will have poor games. Forgot Amos is off too, so we definitely need someone in that position. Hopefully the type of position we can pick up a decent freebie. We'll need a few of them...

 

All I can say was Eze was only starting to come good this time last year. He did not seem to last a match in 2018/2019
This year he has nearly played every minute and has been outstanding, strong, clever, class.
BOS was not good at the start of this season, and only started to become good after Birmingham away...which was December2019

We would have bitten off the hand that offered us 5 million for BOS last October

I hope we can look back next year at Kakay , Shodipo and Chair and say how much they have come on too

 

Shame the season finished so early. We were on an unbeaten run of 3 lol!

 

Cracking write up from Clive...

Eze has been a far better player than Chair is now from at least since he was on loan at Wycombe. As I remember he played every game under McClaren the season before last and was frequently brilliant. Shodipo could come good, but I don't see him developing the physique and ball holding skill of BOS. Kakay certainly looks a good prospect and has arguably been our best defensive player during these weird games with no crowd.

 

Excellent report, but he then, after waxing so lyrical about Eze (rightly), gives him the same mark (7) as BOS and Chair. Bizarre!! BOS did very little all game.

Deserved a 9 for that finish alone.

 

Really enjoyable. I'm with Col on the ratings though - that said I think I always tend to be a little more generous than Clive.

 

Well worth a read, especially on a Friday afternoon

This article will cheer you up, put a smile on your face and set you up for hopefully a wonderful weekend.
