PodgeyRam Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Plenty of West Brom connections at Derby: Chris Baird, George Thorne, Matej Vydra, Scott Carson and Kevin Phillips. Some of those will get better receptions than others. Not to mention our ex-Villa contingent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 We will get 5200 seats. Priced sensibly it would be a tempter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect plenty of changes for them and for us a real chance of going through. Dull enough tie but could turn out ok in the end. Never been WBA. Is it easy to get to / park? When they had Bristol City in the 3rd round last year they put a virtually first choice team out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite to be honest. If they're still ticking points off come he new year and pretty much safe I reckon he'll fancy a cup run. And their bench had Olson, McClean, Chadli, Robson-Kanu & Gardner on it, hardly inexperienced. Id rather we concentrate on racking up promotion points...

needles Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 In one way, meh. In another, well it could be a morale boosting win or an understandable defeat - no lose scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Play the U23's all the way regardless of the opposition. It is possible to have a successful season and a cup run but I'd prefer not to take any risk no matter how small with our first team in a competition we are highly unlikely to win. Always here calls for our younger players to be given a chance, here is the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes give some ( 1 or 2 or 3 ) young up and comings a game but we have to field a strong team with first team players and give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggies currently 6th in Premier, they would be mad not to treat it seriously; their chance of glory and every right to expect a decent cup run with favourable draws. They will be worthy strong favourites. 1 hour ago, Tony Le Mesmer said: Pulis isn't interested in this game IMO. Expect plenty of changes for them and for us a real chance of going through. Dull enough tie but could turn out ok in the end. Never been WBA. Is it easy to get to / park? As above. Be amazed if he doesn't go with a strong team, I'd hate us to play anyone with any sort of knocks after a busy Christmas period. Easy to drive to, just crap parking. It's about 100 yards off junction 1, M5. Far easier by train as others suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cup we are unlikely to win, the Championship is a tough league as it is without the extra games thrown in. If we can gain an advantage by resting our first team whilst others chase the slim chance of silverwear midweek we should take it. Talk to me about the cup when we're comfortable in the Premier League, until then let's focus on getting there before the gap gets too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't really lose in this, pressure if anything will be on them and who knows but really can't see a shock, so I also hope a few fringe players bloodied. Why not give Vernam a cameo for instance. Tell the lad to go out and enjoy himself, whatever the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my presumption that Pulis will take this game easy is perhaps incorrect judging what some of you guys have said on here. I can see why he would not, now some facts about similar games in the past and current form have been highlighted. I'm not sure if I will go to this. There is no way my anxiety will allow me to go from Chesterfield to Birmingham / West Bromwich on the train so if I'm going to go it will be by car. Might get there ultra early so i can bag a parking spot somewhere and then just sit it out until kick off. The early bird and all that.... I'll make a decision when the tickets come on sale. Hope they are reasonably priced. Twenty quid absolute tops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
