The Original OTIB

14th now.Yay.

You can't judge City away at West Brom. Radio local at its finest. Jeez. Well done Owers for calling it out as stupid.

Manning interview will mention hitting bar twice. Might start with it.

We have plenty at the club already thanks.

Coming now, too late?

Scared of a thrashing. Should show balls and DO something positive.

Yet to show any real signs of progress says the commentator ...

Odds on who starts the first meltdown thread? Will anyone go early?

Might as well go Cornick and Wells

Why wait to 60 for the inevitable changes?

The end

Off. You can still move as a lone striker.

Mobile goal scorer

Which does not mean that we played badly in that half. Neither team excelled, we did well to contain when needed and had good possession up top, but lack movement for killer passes. Happy, no, but balance of interpretation required. Far from shit show predicted by some. Will WBA go for it and up pace now? Yes. Can we live with it and do something different? Manning's history says no but we shall see.

If Tommy chips keeper when he is back peddling, yes. How many chances did they create?

To be fair, we had the better of that half, they, like many, simply quicker and more decisive around the box. Wells on for me. Need more movement up front.

Roberts isolated and stood off, Johnson creates havoc with his runs but can't all go towards the ball.

Arse

Lots of bodies wide when they attack the flanks , doing well with that threat so far.

See above for lots of info

Lots of passes around their box but little else. Conway so static. Decent half with minimal drama but need more movement from all up top.

Left foot chip the finish there

Said with enthusiasm and genuine warmth I thought.

Great game.
