wolves 2 - Albion 1 - i hope.
Hope it will be a good game i think Albion 2 Wolves 0
my heart says wolves but my head says a score draw is a likely outcome!!!
I cannot see far past a draw if I’m honest.. although a win would be most welcome, I think we will most likely cancel one another out. I’m going to go for a 1-1.
2-0 Ebanks blake and Eastwood.
The difference now is that it is there for Wolves to win where a couple of months ago it was not expected. AND it is now there for Albion to lose where it ALSO not expected a couple of months ago.
Whose nerves are jangling?
There is obviously a lot that hinges on this game for both teams, and of course both sets of supporters. Promotion for West Brom or play offs for both of us ! Saturdays games may help to decide both our seasons, so next tuesday is a must win for both of us. As long as the ref is decent and dosnt bottle any decisions and the idiots stay away, then we are in for one hell of a game. Im going to say an attacking 0 - 0 !! or a sneaky king kev goal…….up the baggies.
At this moment the Watford games is more important to us, lets get rid of Saturday and see how important the Derby game looks then
What a game, so much riding on it for both teams. Albion don’t seem to be the same team that was thumping teams earlier in the season and the Wolves are coming good at the right time. SEB up top will make a massive difference and Kites might even make a 20 minute cameo.
Wolves to win this one 2-0 and almost cement there playoff spot!
I hate to say it but I can see a high-scoring draw on the cards.
With King Kev loving playing the Dingles (has there been a game for any team he’s played for when he hasn’t scored against them?!) at one end of the pitch; and Sylvain E’fires-Blanks at the other we could easily see 3-3.
I don’t think either team can afford to lose with teh Dingles having 2 games in hand on those above them, and the Albion seemingly having no-one wanting to take top-spot away from them.
I’d be happy with a point - it’s a point closer to returning to the Promised Land.
Going Up The Mowbray Way!
Boing Boing!!
Every year this match just gets bigger and more anticipated! Its immense.. Thats why were the number 1 derby in the Uk.
If Mick keeps his cool and gets things rite i dont see why we cant win and quite comfortably..
But im worried.. Stephen wards fit again! lol And dave edwards… who might be a good player but Atm i dont see a place for him.. Then theres michael kightly… Who undoubtedly deseves a startin place but in place of who? Cant drop any1 atm…
I would like to see (GK) Henneseey (RB) Foley (LB) Elokobi (CB) Craddock (CB) D Ward (LM) Jarvis (CM) Henry (CM) Olifinjana (RM) M Gray (CF) Keogh (CF) S-E-B.
Eeastwood and kightly to come on in the 60th minute for Keogh If were winning or henry if were drawing or loosing… and Gray..
Cardiff the week after aswel!! Absolutely buzzin
Come on you WOLVES! Its the biggest game of the season so far, does this for the fans!
Before this thread gets hijacked,
some genuine footy views.
This is our other, and one of two games in hand for Wolves,
and as far as games in hand go…….they dont get
tougher than this.
Our games are normally tense affairs, and because of the implications, we can multiply tense by 10.
Wolves seem to have found some form AND a goalscorer, so come away honours even and i shall be happy.
This is wolves side can push for the prem, and i honestly can see both going up.
Wolves will win the bragging rights witha 2-1 win.
come on wolves
2-1 to wolves
ebanks-blake and craddock
miller for them
good match i think
current form u cant argue with a wolves win!lots of goals too with both sets of defences looking a little leaky
2-0 to Wolves
SEB double to silence Sandwell Town
A win would be huge, but i wouldn’t be too dissapointed with a draw. I think we should be concentrating on Bristol City first don’t you agree.
I just hope this is the last time we play Wolves this season, and the next time we meet is in the Premiership!!!
Either or both are going to drop points and it could have a large bearing on were we both need to be, i have a bad feeling about the game and would probably take a draw.
we got a big enough game vs bristol c 1st
please talk about this game 5.30 saturday
but for now concentrate on the bristol c game which is winnable
8-8 with Barnett getting 14 of them. No seriously now I haven`t a clue, just very nervous at the thought of it. Want both of us in the prem. Boing Boing
Astonishing that ‘terrytediousbaggie’ hasn’t graced us with yet another of his insightful and thoughtful post on this subject.
He must be out walking the dog!
To all fans who do not think this is an important fixture for both clubs clearly are not true fans of their clubs.
I would say that a derby game is the match most fans look forward to.
As for the Tesco fans saying this is our cup final, if thats the case then I can predict a Wolves win because Albion have a knack of losing big cup final games.
Last years play-off final, this years FA cup semi final ring any bells… Not a good record in the cup finals have they!
Recent past results leads me to feel that we could lose it. But with our recent form and the intensity of the game I would say a draw.
I also think it will be a great game, voted the best derby in the country and the tv companies still stay away, their loss.
Or is ther some far flung country covering it??
Anyone know????
Need to get 3 points off Watford as Dingles try to get 3 points off Bristol, then OK to think about next Tuesday.
Always going to be a good atmosphere and I hope us fans can be the twelth man and give us the winning edge in the ding dong derby. I do fancy us to win this game but as long as we don’t loose to the Wembley rejects, I’ll be happy Wulf!
Wait a minute…albion can do us a favour by stuffing Watford on sat we can do them a turn by beating Bristol, a draw on Tuesday can keep us both in contention.The future looks bright. As a wolves fan recognising the strength and depth albion have i hoping they go up automatically, becuase i genuinesly think they’ll be harder to beat in a two legged play off, shld they finish 3rd us 6th….with over 100 goals like it or night they deserve to go up…i don’t want them scoring more against us on their way to wembley.
wolves 5-0 boggies
This is Albions game in hand so effectively they can afford to lose it and so long as they match the other top 5’s results for the rest of the season they will still go up automatically. So for other than bragging rights it doesn’t make much difference. I think it is more likely to be a game that niether teams wants to lose rather than wanting to win, so i’m going for a 1-1 draw.
1-0 to Wolves.
Eastwood from the bench.
Always hard to predict the derby games. If we were at home I would feel confident of a win, although the bore draw earlier this season was a suprise.
At the wolves I would settle for a point.
I think its a bigger game for the wolves as its a MUST win - lose it and it could be the end of your promotion hopes.
If we lose it, we MAY drop out the top 2, but would still be in a playoff position, although if we get 3 points against watford then the pressure is off for this game.
Given that wolves have found some form at last I’m going for a 2-2. Not the end of the world for either team.
I’m confident that the boys are up for the scrap for the rest of the season and top 2 looks very realistic now.
Wolves have to get 4 and maybe 6 points from bristol and us which is not guaranteed….
Squeaky bum time from now on….
Ideal world ……
Albion to beat Watford
Wolves to beat Bristol
And a draw on Tuesday evening
Albion to go up automatic and the wolfies through the play offs .
Lets show this premiership what the black country can offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well done all the posters most are genuine football posts at last some sanity!!!!!!!
1-0 albion - Phillips - be quality if we won
We have the bit between our teeth, I am more intrested on our biggest game of the season so far on Saturday against Watford. Win that one and we are almost there. If we get 3 points Saturday I would happily take a point at the Custard Bowl. It will be a tense affair in a strange way I’m happier Wolves are at home because they seem better suited on the road as they have had a few indifferent results at home of late as we have. Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet if we are going to win we may need 3 goals but i could see it being 2-2.
Up the baggies!!!!
3-1 to the baggies. We have been very determined of late! Wolves have a goalscorere and thebaggies have about 6 with a couple on the bench. Clement returning should help steady the back line. Our record of late may not be outstanding but we’ve only lost twice in about 9 games. One against Portsmouth and a farce against leicester. If!!! we win against Watford, we will be feeling pretty confident.
This may well be the derby to end all derbies!
I fancy Albion to win and win well, i think that we shown in the week at Blackpool that we have character in our side and i see a very tense 1st half with neither team giving much away.
2nd half i think (and hope) that our quality will shine through and that the end result will be Dingles 0 West brom 2.
i really think that we will go up automatic and even though i am shocked to be saying this i hope that Wolves make the Play offs and come up so that we can meet again in the most fierce derby in this country but in the Premier League, and also it means that we are guarenteed 6 points next season!!!
Baggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lets see how we do at bristol city on saturday,then we’ll know what we have to do against the boggies, i can see a 3-1 to wolves e-banks hat trick then a sly goal from miller in the 85 min game over,i hope,UP THE WOLVES.
Albion have already proved themselves this year…When it comes to the big games (semifinal)they bottle it.3-0 to Wolves,Olifinjana,Ebanks-Blake and Keogh.
Another draw- cue more wild celebrations that will go on long into the night from thrilled Wolves supporters at having gained another point from their more glamorous neighbours.
On a serious note, I’d take a draw, it’s probably our toughest remaining game. As TonyWBA rightly points out, at this stage Watford is a bigger game.
A win Saturday, and we’re 5 points above them with them having 3 games left, that virtually ensures a higher finish. Hopefully Wolves will win Saturday as well. That will help us both and set up the derby nicely.
Wolves 2 Albion 1
Ebanks-Blake To Get The Winner!
3-2 wolves come on
Personaly i would like to see us both playing in the premiership its about time the Midlands had its share of success. Clearly the Villa and brummies are not up to it
Form goes out of the window for this game. It’s all down to whichever manager motivates their team the most.
I say a 1-0 win with Venus making a surprise appearance, vollying in the winner!!!
this is going to be a MASSIVE game for both camps, and i think it will depend on saturdays results, if we lose then we will need to win but the same can be said for the albion! if we play as we have been for the last 2 games and albion as they have for the last 2, ill go for a 2-1 win for wolves, SEB for both philips for them.
A thriller, 3-2 to Wolves!
Blake hatrick!
A draw would be a decent result for Albion but Wolves are under massive pressure for 3 points to grab a play-off place which may swing the game in Albion’s favour if Wolves play an open game. Come on you Baggies. Wolves 0-1 Albion.
I say draw, but obviously I hope for a win.
lets hope it’ll be a good un!
Up the wolves!
The only thing you can predict in this league is unpredictability!
Wolves will come flying out the traps, so lets hope we keep it tight and the counter attacking football on a decent pitch will suit Albion..let’s hope they can take advantage of this and try an avoid giving away to many corner & free-kicks, our downfall lately!.Come on Super Kev, do the business..
The Boggies match is just one of six cup finals we have up to the play offs (hopefully) and we have to focus on Saturday first.
I think the exciting thing about next Tuesdays match is that anything can happen in it. With both defences wobbling and both teams scoring for fun I think it has 0-0 written all over it.
3-0 TO THE BAGGIES SUPER KEV TO SCORE HATTRICK to silence the bilston overspill.top of the table always looking down at the dingles
I think I’ll wait and see how we perform against Bristol City at the weekend first.
With the defences that both teams have this could end up a 6-5 game.
Having said that with both teams having a lot riding on the game it could also end up with both sets of players cancelling each other out in which case I can see a draw looming.
A draw would probably suit us better than them, but I think the week end results will have a bearing on how the teams approach next Tuesday.
Heart says Baggies win, head says draw
This certainly wont be easy for either team. Great for the neutral, unbareable for the supporter. a close 2 v 1 scrape for the Wanderers, SEB, Kyle and Gera with the goals.
I am not sure that that the argument about Wolves winning on current form stands up. In Wolves last 7 home leagues games they have Won 2 Drawn 3 & Lost 2. West Brom have Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 2 in the last 7 away league games.
This game is going to be really close, but to be honest with you the actual importance of this game will not be decided till after Saturdays results all come in. Wins for both of us on Saturday would make a draw a good result for both teams on Tuesday.
Yes as a Baggies fan I want us to win and think that if we play at our best then we probably will. However there is no way I would underestimate Wolves and if both teams play at their best then it should be cracking gane.
Wolves 1 Albion 2
2.0 albion super kev and ish boing boing ave u ever seen the southbank go boing boing lol
If Wolves can keep a clean sheet I think that we’ll win plus we just need to watch phillips
We have not a quality striker as SEB since Bully. Wolves 2 Tescos 1 SEB Double!!! Come on you Wolves!!! Song for SEB. Sylvan Ebanks Blake, Sylvan Ebanks, Sylvan Ebanks Blake (Gets louder each time) He’s Super, Flaming Great!!!
well i’m going to make a genuine and honest comment (honestly).
for us wolves fans this season has finally come alive, and we have a brilliant opportunity to make the play offs (looked very unlikely a month or two ago) and the significance of this game is massive for both of us. west brom ARE THE BEST TEAM WE WILL FACE IN OUR REMAINING GAMES. this game will give us wolves fans a good idea of how much we’ve improved lately, and a good indication of our mettle in big game situations.
OF COURSE I HOPE THE WOLVES WIN..BUT A DRAW WOULDN’T BE A DISASTER. if it meant both sides in the premier next season i’d settle for that.
i’m going for a lie down now, that took some doing..talking positive about the albion!
Wolves have been playing decent stuff lately so i’ll go with a 10-0 win for Albion.
All these Dingles are going mad that they have won a few games thinking they can win the play-offs, its still the same manager that you wanted out a few months ago, and the squad is the same apart from they have an overweight player at left back and upfront.
If recent results are anything to go by the last 10 minutes should be fun!
My head says 5-0 to Wolves, my heart says 10.
Cor wait.
3-0 TO WOLVES … COME ON YOU WOLVES
Saturday at Bristol City is a more important game at the moment. We have a good record down there and I fancy us to win. A draw against that arrogant lot down the road would then be ok.
Albion will win the league whatever the result against us I reckon, but 4 points from the next 2 games and we will make play offs, which will be an acievement considering how poor we have been most of the season.
Nice to see we have sold out and whatever happens we will always get bigger gates than Sandwell, as has been proved again this season we are a far bigger club than them and ALWAYS WILL BE.
COME ON ME BABBIES!!!!!
Wolves to win 3-0 Keogh, Seb, D Ward.
although it hurts me to say it WBA up automatically, Wolves play off winners.
albion sold out 3,200 2 weeks ago and wolves have sold out today (thursday). Should be 28,525 there then (no empty seats)
2-1 to wolves - ebanks-blake will put wolves 1 up then phillips will score for wba THEN IN THE 80 MINS PLUS EASTWOOD WILL SCORE THE WINNING GOAL !! COME ON YOU WOLVES !!
It’s a very tough end to the season with no game as hard as WBA. Irrespective of what anyone thinks of M M and his tactics if we get in the play offs after this run in we most definitely deserve it!
It would be good to get the Baggies in the play off final as I’ve heard they are not very good at Wembley!
13-12 to Wolves. SEB & Phillips to score ‘em all.
i would nt like to call this one . tesco s been good all season and at last we look pretty good as well . i just hope we can both go up and grace an evermore characterless premiership with our great teams . actually ….. i think we ll win.
13. Wbaforever.
Can’t argue with your logic. This regardless of the Saturday results is the big one for both clubs. Your one game in hand which could potentially cement your play off place. For us just a slight easement ‘IF’ we can win on Saturday then a draw would suit very well. we, on paper seem to have the easier run in and after Tuesday still have that game in hand. Winning it of course is what really matters! Just so long as the Ref is strong and fair.
Up The Wolves.
Both got suspect defences,which one performs best on the night, will be on the winning side.The same can be said about SEB and Phillips.Glad to see Kightly back.
boomshakalaka wine your body gyal, there’s a special feeling about Wolves at the moment. Those of us who went to the QPR and addicks games know what I mean. I think we’re going to give the TCBs a good kicking! 2-0 Wanderers.
With points being very important to both teams. 0-0!
If we beat Watford and Wolves and other results go our way we could be nearly there. Fingers, toes, ears, eyes etc. crossed!
Off subject, but for gods sake give Kevin Phillips a two year contract Mr Peace. 22 league goals this year and 46 in 76 games (a lot as sub), i dont care if he is 34 or 74 if he has that strike rate we should give him a two year contract.
3-2 Wolves. Both sides scoring and leaking goals right now. SEB on fire . Freddy with things to prove. Kights on the bench !! All positive stuff for the Wolves and who knows - maybe a black country one two placing !! Dont care which way round
Albion 2 Wolves 1
Kevin Phillips double
dashing wolves slim play-off hopes!
BOING BOING
(i actually think it’ll be a 1-1 draw but u cant really say that can you! lol)
We can be very hit and miss away from home at the moment, but can’t see anything other than a baggies win on saturday, so it will be nicely set up for tuesday, where I can see a score draw happening, which personally I would be happy with, having said that, Supa Kev does like playing and scoring againt the dingles so we could have a sneaky 2-1 baggies win.
Keep the faith as we are going up the Mowbray way
boing boing
1-1 with 89 minutes gone,eastwood with the winner.imagine that.come on wolves,stuff the boogies.
To be honest it’s 3 points for any win… if we had to lose there to win the other 4 I’d happily take it… Local Pride will mean nothing to me if we don’t get automatic promotion
These kind of games generally end in a draw, apart from last season obviously…
3-1 Wolves. All second half goals.
if both teams get a win this weekend then i think its a banker for a draw as neither team will want to lose, however if albion slip off the top by not beating watford then i’d expect wolves to suffer the full onslaught of a rampant baggies backlash, albion to win by 3 clear goals !
cant see wolves winning and im a wolves fan
Good luck Westbrom you are going to need it.You may win the league. But your not going to win on Tuesday.Wolves 2 Sandwell 0.
Baggies to win 2-1 but I shan’t moan if it ends a draw with us going up automatically and The Wulfies via the play-offs so the tribal war-dances can continue next season too. One worry for me. Can the excitement we’ve both had this season be matched in the Prem? This is one Hell of a League!
If Wolves score first, Wolves 1 West Brom 2
If West Brom Score First Wolves 2 West Brom 1
Its going to be close
If Albion beat Watford and Wolves = promotion IMO.
Thats why it will be 1-2 to Albion, but Wolves to go up in playoffs.
lets be serious, albion are coming to the boil at just the right time and i think after beating watford on saturday they will get a win at wolves and then go on to win the league. wolves will get the playy offs but will fall at wembley. up the baggies. theres only one t.m
come wolves win it for all the wolves fans
This is where Wolves will probably take a reality check.
I think that we will be lucky to get a draw out of this game. They are the Championship leaders on merit. We are on a run, but we haven’t been tested yet by the best.
its going be tough match for both teams,and see wolves been home and have home advantage,so i think itsgoing be 2-1 to wanderers. couple for ebanks!!
Great to see reasoned postings without any of the puerile nonsense that often appears. Would love to see BOTH teams in the Premiership next season, but hope Wolves win next Tuesday.
i think i will be boining at least twice 2-1 albion boing boing
COME ON ME BABBIES!! 2-1 WOLVES WIN!! WOLVES RETURN TO PROMISE LAND THIS SEASON!! Blakey and Gray Wolves scorers!
I think it’ll be a draw which will be enough for some Dingle supporters to lose some of their inferiority complex.
2 2
It rather depends which Wolves team turns up and which baggies team turns up. The only consisteny for Wolves has been our inconsitency, and Albion seem to have been in this vein recently. I will be happy with a draw if we beat Bristol City first at the weekend.
saturdays games are more important so lets wait and see what they bring!then we can concentrate on the derby and i cant see anything but a draw but i hope the wolves dont let the fans and themselves down over the coming weeks.
albion are the best passing side in the division by far,so we have got to try and get in there faces and stop them playing if we do that we have got a chance then with blakeup front anything can happen.
2-1 baggies supa kev double,that will end the dingles season.
Baggies to beat the dingles 3-1,with the fire power we have you wont stand a chance we will give you one goal because that all you can score is one goal
my heart says 2-1 albion but wolves are playing well at the moment. SKP to start and all will be ok
Only about 8-0 to the boys in blue! easy easy easy…
like a few my heart says win for wolves, but head says draw.
just wish the media would give this fixture more exposure, eg on tuesday night sky are covering barnsley vs hull (i think) i think it would be good for the whole country to experience the black country derby, plus would give west brom fans the chance to see the match and vice versa match at the hawthorns.
maybe im biased i like the derby, ok during the match i am £$%£!$@ myself because its not just 3points (despite what managers may say) its local pride, bragging rights and especially this year a possible promotion place??
just want a fair,and entertaining derby if we lose, we lose but let it be a good match, and hopefully we can both make it a premiership Black Country Derby in the future, and then this fixture could get the exposure it in my eyes fully deserves!!!
Just what I like to see,the wulfs getting excited after a couple of good results,plus them being at home means the expectation is for ‘em to produce the goods.The worst thing you could do is give Albion a tough away game-that’s when they give their best performances.Bring it on!
2-2
SEB and Freddie to score for wolves
Phillips to score for albion and clement to nick a point with a free kick (seems a player who always plays well against us)
Young guns to shoot down the fat turkey 2-0 Wolves!
Im looking for a fans buy out, the build up to this game is no way to run things. SJH suggested a 25% fans buy out, it never happened, the time is now approaching.
Long way to travel, long game WOLVES 3 boggies 0 “COME ON YOU WOLVES”
Obviously a lot riding on this one & can see that the Custard Bowlers fancy their chances. Hopefully The Baggies will keep finding a way through the defence as well as dominating the play in midfield. Dingles 1 Baggies 3!
Blimey 13, a tesco carrier bag without a chip on his shoulder and with an excellent post.
See they do exist over there in birmingham.
I too, see this as a pretty tense affair. WBA have this season, the ability to go a goal or 2 down playing totally rubbish…and then turn it round and emerge comfortable winners. Done it so many times and it takes a very good side to be able to do that. We need to get ahead and then stay ahead, which is something we aren’t good at doing, mind you scoring first is a novelty for us in itself.
A loss for us won’t be the end of the world.If we win most of the other 5 games we can still get 6th. A draw perfectly acceptable, a win would obviously be pretty brilliant.
One thing that noone has touched on yet…..SEB is level with Phillips on the goalscoring tables…….and I reckon that SEB will really be busting a gut to get ahead. Phillips has that arrogant streak which says he has the divine right to win the best goalscorer for this league (remember last season and those provocative disgusting crowd gestures..boy do we owe him for that) BUT you KNOW SEB will be trying his might to do it himself. Put a fiver on SEB scoring a couple……whether that will be enough is another thing.
Oh and Phillips would be wise to keep his hand gestures and his gob shut at the moli though methinks….some of us haven’t forgotten. Inflammatory, inciteful and just plain rude gestures are the sign of an arrogance which this bloke has got which is distasteful, disrespectful, unimaginative and highly unintelligent and so totally needless but hey Mr Phillips..what goes around comes around…and our time has come round this Tuesday.
would love a wolves whooping but having watched the Albion for so long, i favour a draw
cometh the hour cometh the man…..its time 4 mr eastwood 2 do the job…..wot a game 4 the 4gotten 1 2 put on a show and put a few more tears on wembley cry baby supakev and 4 kites 2 show robbo wot a pants player he is…..ITS OUR TIME……
everyone’s talking about wolves getting into the playoffs which is great but if wolves can win their 2 games in hand(which would be tuff but we are capable) i think i’m right in saying we would only be 3 points off an automatic spot. the next 2 games are against 2nd and 1st( bristol and albion) if we can manage 2 wins i think some of those teams above will start to feel the heat of the mighty wolves on their tails.seems like no one seems to want to win it this year so lets just go all out these last 6 games now. i think its deffo possible.COME ON U WOLVES 1-0 WOLVES OLI
SEB & Keogh are gunna get cha. ‘Nuff said!
I hope we both go up.
Am sure it will be a classic match no matter who wins, as long as its Wolves.
COME ON YOU YOU WOLVES !
well its the wolves cup final , but have they got the bottle ? with super kev playing we WILL score and with millers pace(as with kamara last season) he will scare the wolves to death !
Draw all around if not a win for the boggies….
Keep my expectations low and suprise me again please Wolves
Hopefully no injuries or suspensions from Sat games and a full squad for both managers to choose from. Super Kev always gets one so he will tightly marked allowing our midfield maestroes and miller and Bednar to hopefully get a few. Never rule super Kev out tho. Tough one to call, a win each Saturday and i think we would all accept a draw on Tuesday.
Boing Boing
Saturday win for both,will only make a great game Tuesday.But my vision is Baggies all the way.Only 1 goal but its ours.Prem here we come.
i think a 1-0 either way to be honest, sandwell massive, let your brothers from wolvo win just for midlands football. at the end of the day, the boggies are going up automatically. im just desperate to get to wembley and do it the stylish way lol
brisbane baggie said big game for both teams it should be a good game for both teams don’t let the idiots spoil it. may the best team win
I’m gonna miss all this when we go up!
A win at Bristol and a draw with the Albion will do for me.
We need 4 points.
A crucial match for both sides, so the referee has a tough job.
These two teams don’t have a history of giving referees grief, but their supporters are different. Immense pressure on the whistler.
It may be his decisions, good and bad, that decide what is likely to be close, nervous, tense game.
Tony, 8, I agree, my mind is just on the Bristol game at the moment, thats the first hurdle, but i agree with one or two that it will be a score draw
It’s already a sell out, so the atmosphere will be great! Im going for 2-1 wolves, SEB and Jarvis scoring!
See this as a draw. 2-2. Up the Wolves!
As long as we beat Bristol City a draw would be a good result. A tight nail baiting Wolves win would be better obviously. 1-1 or 2-1 to the Wolves (please!!). Nice to see a bit of mutual respect going on this board for a change. I think both supporters see each other as worthy adversaries. I do honestly hope that we both get promoted so we can continue our rivalry in the big time
cant we concentrate on bristol c game
ive got to go wolves win 2-1. but i hope both teams get promoted then the west mids can show the rest what a derby realy is. hope the refs is up for it and lets the game flow cant wait.
COME ON THE WOLVES
One game at a time Watford is massive,then we turn to the overspill !!!!! We will go and smash and grab 0-1.Albion till idie
As usual its one of the best derby’s in English Football… I just hope the Thugs dont spoilt it on the day before or after!!! Come on the Wolves…
It’s got a 0-0 draw written all over it
I think the results of our respective games on Saturday will have a massive bearing.
I’ll go 1-1 but then I am the world’s worst tipster.
I would love both teams to get to the Premiership having some more Midlands teams there would be good for the Midlands . Think it will be a good game and the atmosphere is always electric between the two teams. Think it may be a draw but would like Wolves to win obviously.
Good luck to Wolves
Love Dekkers (21) prediction! That would worth the entrance fee!
WBAbomber. The derby is on the nilesat system out here in the middle east, being 3 hours ahead is a pain for the night games, but at least the pub is open!! And from tomorrow Im andyindoha.
Wolves 0 Baggies 5
Miller(2), Bednar, Gera, Phillips
Can’t see any Mick Out comments. Where have all the whingers gone?!!
I think the midfield battle is crucial and Henry and Oli have been inconsistent this season so a lot hinges on them and the level of their performance on the night. Albion have better firepower too, which is a worry. I hate KP - you just know he is going to score one, and I am hoping Miller is only on bench, his pace will cause the Wolves defenders problems. Sylvan, if you want to become a Molineux legend, a hat trick in the game might just do it. On paper, logic dictates an Albion win, but the reason we love football, with, a sometimes, blind faith, is that anything can and will happen. C’mon Wolves.
Mick out.
Albion will start as favourites. Wolves need to not give any soft goals from corners and set pieces. If we can do this we have a chance. Last year we didn’t have a proven goal scorer and they did, I’m hoping Ebanks Blake will do it for us. What worries me though is that this is one of the hardest fixtures in the Championship but could well be one of our easiest next year if we both get tothe Premiership!
4-0 Ebanks 2x AK AND FREDDIE
109. Cornish.
I don’t know what KP did or said that got so many of yours going and I’m not trying to justify players making gestures but sometimes the abuse they have to put up with makes it understandable that occasionally they react. Sometimes it goes over decent boundaries as with Lee Carsley recently at the hands of those ‘wonderful’ Liverpool fans.
As I’ve said on another thread, I think we are in a good position to go up but looking at the table last night the Wolves should be nailed on for at the very least sixth place.
Hope we both go up. One in the eye for the London/NW obsessed media. Hope the Blues can stay up as well.
Wolves 1 - 4 West Brom
Phillips 2
Miller
Gera
With the form the Wolves are in, there couldn’t bit a better time of the season to play the Albion.
I just hope for a cracking match and that there isn’t any trouble outside the ground or in town after the game.
Not interested until Saturday’s game is done and dusted. One game at a time, please. Saturday’s results will have a strong bearing on who will win the next game. Defeat for either team will not stop the Baggies, the best team in the division, going up automatically and Wolves making the play-offs with all its wonderful drama. More twists and turns all the way. Out of darkness comethlight!
Whoever came up with the idea of the play-offs is a genius.
The result is not important unless both teams loose on saturday. Then it is critical as neither team can drop 6 points in two games at this stage.4 points each from the two games would be nice for both clubs
If both teams win on Saturday, I think they would each be happy with a draw. If either loses it could be more open and could go either way depending on who takes their chances.
Tesco’s counting chickens AGAIN cluck,cluck
this is a very big game for both side’s but we will beat watford after the wolves do us a favour and beat bristol and tuesday’s draw will look good for us both.
This has got a draw written all over it,1-1,ide love to see the Wolves in the Prem with us,that would be great for the Black country
biggest derby in country don’t make me laugh sheff wed vs united is anyway i hope baggies win as mi uncle lives in west bromich i rekon 2-2 bednar 11, sylvan ebanks blake 32, brunt 41 , keogh 71
Wolves are scoring for fun. However a tense 90 mins ahead. If wolves beat bristol i would be happy with a draw. Fancy 1 0 with a Seb goal on the hour….
I might be a lone voice but as a Baggie i actually think well lose this one, the Wolves will have more to lose after they’ve been beaten by Bristol on Saturday.
1-1 ebanks for wolves - phillips for the shite.
I think Wolves will win because the steptoe’s have played 3 games in a week to wolves 1, so tiredness and lethargy will set in, where as wolves will be fresh 3-1 to wolves SEB hat trick
Bring it on
Wolves 2-1 Albion =)
Wolves 1 - 4 baggies. MICK OUT
Wolves 2 Albion 1 .. lets be honest if Colchester can whack a few past them at the Hawthorns .. we should manage 2!
BRING ON THE ALBION ONE NIL TO THE WOLVES E-BANKS BLAKE TO SCORE THE WINNER.
