I don't have a clue how this will go. On paper we have more than enough the quality to beat them even without Jack. They looked terrible last night vs Leicester. But games aren't played on paper and recently we've been just awful at times ourselves. This is a game we really should win or this season will go down the shitter and we will very likely finish bottom half.
So very optimistically I will go for a 3-1 win.
Ollie, Konsa and SJM
-
Well in the form league since Christmas we're about on a par with them. They need it more and notwithstanding Leicester have had some decent results lately. We can't buy a win, so I hate to say it but I think 1-0 Baggies.

And the pressure is off us and very much on them so it could prove telling.
Let's face it, we'll get plenty more possession than we had the other day and we've proven we can score against anyone too.
So 0-0 :-)
-
I reckon we will beat them 2-0.
-
8-0. Hat-tricks for Watkins and Traore, screamer by McGinn and Chukwuemeka with a late goal off the bench.
-
We're due a draw.
I'll go for a draw.
1-1
-
For God sake Villa, do not lose this and give them even a sniff of not going down. Relegate the fuckers.
-
They need to go for it, last-chance saloon and they have to win. Hopefully we'll show some pace on the break (not sure from who?!) and burn them.
If we try taking the game to them, we might be frustrated as we're just not creating enough at the moment.
-
The Chelsea game aside they have been consistently piss poor.
-
What cdbwf says ^^^
-
0-2.
-
It’s Villa and the opposition need the points. We all know how that ends!!
-
I think that we should fuck the Albion, fuck the Albion, fuck the Albion, fuck the Albion, fuck the Albion.
The bitter, Stripey ******.
3-0 Villa. Let's fucking all but relegated this pathetic excuse for a club. Bunch of Lee Jean, black shoes, baseball cap, fleece wearing wankers.
-
As I've just posted elsewhere, time to put in real quality performance and rip them a new one.
FTA
-
Time for El Ghazi's 1-in-5 Ronaldo-esque performance! Lots of possession, barely any shots, but somehow 2-0 Villa.
-
They are awful and will try and get to the second half at least on level terms.
Smith needs this almost as much as Alardyce.
-
No he doesn't.
-
No he doesn't.
oh yes he does.
It’s behind you
Oh no it isn’t.
-
From the presser Smith said there's a chance of Wesley making the squad for this one.
-
I reckon he might start Davis for this, with maybe Watkins and El Ghazi out wide.
-
From the presser Smith said there's a chance of Wesley making the squad for this one.
That means he'll be out for another month then!
-
I'd really like to see Kesler start and Chukwuemeka feature.
1-0 Villa I think.
-
Smith says Wesley may be back for this match. He has also maintained that Jack’s is not a long term injury but, on the other hand, he hasn’t got a clue as to what the injury is!!
-
I’m going for 3-0 to us, don’t care who scores them but I’ve got a nagging thought that Davis will get one!!
-

Back before Grealish, then.
-
Could do with a win here.
-
3-0 to Villa, 2 to Ollie and Keinan to score at last.
-
The Chelsea game aside they have been consistently piss poor.
They battered Southampton, although they themselves have been awful in 2021 and I think had their minds on the Cup Semi Final
-
We totally dominated them at their place but that won't be happening tomorrow.
This is last chance saloon territory for them after Leicester and they have no choice but to go for it.
1-2.
-

That's one of the reason's why I think he'll play Davis and Watkins and also because their defence looked awful against Leicester.
-
If we have the attitude of Wednesday night, I think we'll get beat.
Albion to edge it 1-0

Why would we go into a game against 19th placed local rivals with the same attitude as we did against the runaway leaders who are arguably the best team in world football right now?
-
Would be lovely to despatch these numpties with some aplomb, however I feel a turgid draw materialising. Surprise me Villa please.
-
I expect a comfortable win, Albion are piss poor.

Ads, I love being able to agree with you on the non-Off Topic threads!

I hope we turn up, but performances haven't been great for a while now. Second half Wednesday, we gave up.
-
A bore draw between two boring teams. It won't be one for the purists.
Hope we smash them.
-
It's a struggle to pick an eleven at the moment. Any kind of win would be a positive, these are a terrible team but it will be a very tight game. Picking a team with an eye to next season would be good. Hopefully McGinn will be kept further forward and if Sanson is fit he can drop in next to Luiz, Ramsey otherwise. Wouldnt mind seeing Watkins on the left wing for a change, he played there a lot at Brentford. No Barks, Nakamba or Traore.
Martinez, Elmo/Kesler, Konsa, Mings, Targett, Luiz, Sanson, McGinn, AEG, Watkins, Davis
-
0-0 Neither side are very good going forward too often.
-
4 months ago we would have smashed the Baggies. Different kettle of fish now as we are so slow moving the ball from midfield. If any team pressures us, we do not seem to have a clue to counter it. Again, hope I’m wrong but think it’s going to be a long evening tomorrow.
-
I reckon a 3-0 Villa win, Albion kicking chunks out of our players and at least one sent off.
-
I was totally confident we will smash them when we played at their place and we did however not sure why but I don't feel very confident for this one.
-
Rudy, think you would get very good odds for us to win 3-0 but, my advice is to keep your money in your pocket.
-
Nah, we'll finally turn up and show them what's what. I'd more than settle for a 3-2 victory providing it's a repeat of the game where we relegated Coventry.
-
“Lee Jean, black shoes, baseball cap, fleece wearing wankers.”
Is the best thing I’ve read in a pre-match thread for a while.
-

I agree with you that it should be, but obviously it won’t be Davis and Watkins up front. It will be 4-3-3 as usual, it’s just a matter of who he plays on the left
-
I wonder what formation we'll try.
-

It’s a long shot but I’ll go
4 3 3
Expect a sub around 65 minutes

Haha. What makes you think that, mate?
-
Just a question of will he start with Traore or El Ghazi and then a straight swop after 65 minutes. Neither will offer much going on the last few performances.

Just a hunch ;)

Both will start.
In fairness El Ghazi had some decent games v West Brom in last two years. Both played well in the away game although completely different feel to us now compared to xmas when we looked a proper top 6 team.
-
Difficult to say but I think a boring 1-0 Villa win is most likely here.
Hurry up Jack.
-
Albion will want/need more than we do, but I won't be betting against us (never do - usually abstain)

Let him play, they'll be terrified of him. Who knows, they may even want to buy him in the summer.
-
A win would be nice for a change...
-

No "would" about it - we fcuking did!
-
We will do these tomorrow. 3-0.
Dirty horrible Stripey filth.
Hate everything about them. From the brown envelope, dingle bastard manager to that repulsive Roy Of The Rovers deck chair third strip.
They reek of despair and we need to knock another nail in.
Lets not forget they hate us with a passion (and did their best to hurt Super Jack in the last match)
Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside .......
-
Win Villa please not just because it's the bitters, but also because it would be nice to get one over their thick sh-t, f-ckwit, bellend of a manager.
UTV!
-
Under no circumstance should we play Wesley. Not the game for a long term injured player to return. They tried to get Jack last game and regularly finish games against us with 10 men. Remember the two footed lunge in the play offs ..... on our goalie?
Dirty Bastards!

I hope we turn up, but performances haven't been great for a while now. Second half Wednesday, we gave up.
I don’t think we gave up, I think we were just outplayed by a much better team.
This is always the big derby for me. I think they’ll go for it because they have to, I also think they may beat us tonight. But feck that, 2-1 villa after going behind (Ollie, Konsa).
I hope he doesn’t play Elmo, doesn’t seem much point now, I hope he does play Davis and Ollie, El Ghazi and Traore are both so out of form, that we can only afford one of them in the team.
-
Davis will get the winner tonight.
-
Davis will get the winner tonight.
I'm sure you will get massive odds on that, well worth a bet. I would be good for Dean to show some faith in him by picking him from the start as I think Albion will try to kick us all over the park tonight to rough us up and stop our erm, wonderful, free flowing football. He's a big lad and won't take any of their shit.
-
Davis will get the winner tonight.
LOL!

Dirty Bastards!
Quick quiz: Over the years are Albion the dirtiest side we face? I'm struggling to think of another club who have players that consistently go out to injury our players.
-
I don’t think there’s any harm in playing Kesler or Carney tonight. No big crowd or undue pressure from the supporters.
Don’t waste a squad place on Barkley and start Davis up front with Ollie.
Get into em. And fuck em up.
-
Just had my Baggies supporting neighbour giving it the big one.
Smash these feckers please Villa and send em packing back down to the championship, with not so much as a whimper!

how on earth they giving it the big one 🤔😀?
-
Got to win this game
I think we could go ninth depending on what leeds to so all to play for
West Brom have got the least number of wins along with Sheffield United
Even without Grealish we should be beating these easily

Pride of the Midlands innit? They will want to do the double of a win against Villa and not finishing rock bottom ;)
-
I assumed they'd already been relegated.
-
Just remember, winning this game is not the most important thing.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say.
-

I would say grinding them into dust so fine it would be invisible to the naked eye, but that's just me.
-
My worry is Mings seems to get too tight and physical and I worry that Diagne will have the beating of him.
-
Are they down if we win?
-
Not quite. They're 10 points from safety, 11 given their GD, and they'll still have 5 games left after today.
-
Are they down if we win?
Not mathematically, but they’re looking at needing to win 4 out of 5 with others losing all their games. A jolly nice 5-0 stomping will help the cause.
Mind you, after what we did last season, I won’t laugh until they can’t do it.
-
It would take a miracle for them to stay up then.
Let’s put a nail in their coffin & help send them on their way.
-
Ross B starts.
-
Barkley starts. Hmmm
-
Barkley and El Ghazi start.
-
Barkley? Oh christ
-
Barkley starts. Hmmm
well he has been shit when he came on sooooooooo🤔🤔🤔🤔😀
-
If Barkley can’t have a good game against these then his premier league career is finished.
