Pre Match West Bromwich Albion v Leicester

[Lako42]

Must be Peter in goal

From what I've read they could have played without a keeper.

Schmeichel did his best to gift Kane a goal... all good preparation for the season.

When Kasper dons the clown outfit, I do so love his look of indignation; the 'not my fault' pissed off-ness that he emits. Not for him the apologetic mea culpa.

Lesson learnt. Never trust BBC Sport.

The BBC in general have been run by a bunch of toss pots for ages. Take everything they say and double check with another sauce - news, sport and everything else.

I reckon Maddison will start. I hope not. We need to have him properly rested after injury.

this. although more likely to play albrighton by the look of it from pre season.
and depending on Morgan fitness we could see eithr a makeshift wilf at CB and then anyone of 3 replacing wilf in DM.

someone also needs to tell the team and brendan that gatherings of six or more are not banned until Monday and so there is no excuse for leaving Vardy up top completely on his own against the baggies.

like Trigger's broom.

 

[SilverFox]

Have to say it...

We are massive twats allowing ourselves to start the season with a team weaker than the one we finished last term with. Absolute wankers. We don’t want to actually spend any money. Wolves bloody get it. Improve and move forward.

Doomed. 0-2 away win according to Lawro.

Patience you miserable twat! This is a pre season like no other. Signings will come but we need to be patient. Good deals need to be negotiated, unless of course you want to pay silly money.

I'm usually an optimist but not feeling good about the new season at all right now.

Key players still out injured. Threadbare (at best) defence for at least the first game but probably the first few.

And worst of all, our only summer signing is an out of position replacement for a key player we let leave this summer.

Which means we've done NOTHING to address the massive issues we already had in our squad; missing a centre back, and far too limited creative options in attack.

I feel that every other club in and around us has strengthened, while we've done nothing. Couple that with the fact that we need a deeper squad anyway if we're hoping to do anything but play the kids in Europe...

We clearly look a lot worse off than last season. And we seem to be doing **** all about it.

I've never looked forward to the start of a new season less. To the point where I don't really want it back right now.

 

[homer]

West Brom are total shit. Really bad

It‘s a sign of where we are that I think we’ll lose quite easily

 

[City Fan]

The thing I’m clinging onto is that I’m not looking forward to the season as much as I wasn’t in 13/14. We had just agonisingly missed out on promotion, we didn’t seem to make many signings, and the ones we did didn’t excite. I thought we’d suffer mentally and have a poor season - quite the opposite.

Unfortunately I don’t hold Brendan in the same regard as big Nige when it comes to motivating players and changing their mindset.

Me neither.

Fine Jonny Evans for making that stupid challenge, getting sent off and leaving us in that position, I think I'd rather see Knight play at CB than take Wilf out of midfield
