Got to say, six weeks ago I was worried about the goalkeeper issue especially. Myhill has been great deputy so far though.

For me Jones is as good a right back as there is outside the top 6. So underrated it's ridiculous.

Ridgewell hs a good few games as well as you say. Just makes you think though how good we would be with a top left back in the side.

Maybe that's a discussion for next summer.

Agree mate. Watching Fulham tonight and Kieran Richardson looks class at LB for them.

On that Palace Fulham game.

Wow.

How awful are Palace. Certs for the drop surely. Beyond help? Think they'll go. Sunderland are shocking also. Leaves 1 place. Not that I'm worried as I think we'll be top half anyway.

Back to Palace though. They have Arsenal this weekend and then......us at The Hawthorns. So why do I have a gut wrenching feeling that they'll 'do us'

If we play to our best we may smash them and the Albion curse might strike again. Bye Olly.

Nailed on we will make an absolute meal out of it even if we do win. We wouldn't be Albion if we didn't make a mess out of beating the 'lesser' teams. They do look abysmal though.

Shane Longs future in doubt.

Is it just me that wouldn't be sad to see him move on?

Hi JH - we seem to be a bit thin on the ground on this site. I hope it will get better. You are doing a sterling job.

We are playing well at the moment but I hope I haven't come back to jinx them. You see I was in Guadeloupe last year when we beat Wigan, Chelsea and Sunderland to go 3rd and it went downhill the day I came back.
I have just come back from 3 weeks in Cuba during which time we have beaten United and had very good draws with Arsenal and Stoke.

I have to say I have a bad feeling about Liverpool because we have won 4 out of the 5 against them and they will be out for revenge. Hope I am wrong.

Very much agree about Myhill - he is very much a first team contender now.
Big pat on the back to Steve Clark. He is getting big performances from every player.

Agree, it would be a shame to lose such a wholehearted player but there is one simple way for a striker to make himself indispensable isn't there?

Hi Alouion.

Hope you had a good time on your travels pal

Yes, the board does seem pretty dead on the whole. Shame, 'cause I do my best to keep making interesting up to date articles....so we have stuff to debate/talk about.

Doesn't seem to be working though. Struggling to see the point anymore tbh mate.

Not long ago losing Shane would have been a massive problem for us. Not so now.
He will run and run and run but with very little end result, i.e goals.

It's a great shame to say this but I think we have moved on and left him behind a little bit.
Time to cash in?

Yes.

But....

Vydra is only on loan
Anelka may retire
Rosenberg will go

That would leave us with Anichebe, Berahino (who looks like being converted into a winger anyway) and Long.

Guess Olly doesn't have to stress about coming to the Hawthorns.

He's already left Palace.

Would be a shame to see Long go especially if that leaves Rosenberg and Anelka still here, that would make us weaker imo

Long offers us a lot of falling over.
