Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | WBA v Swansea City | The EFL Championship

I don't really like Cooper and Cullen in the same side.

Me neither, Cooper isn't good enough. That's the side I expect Williams to pick though

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Team predictions for Saturday? I reckon Williams will mostly stick with his usual team:

Vigouroux
Key Darling (if he's still here) Cabango Tymon
Grimes Franco
Ronald Cooper Eom
Cullen​

Probably right with that team.

I doubt he'd play Vipotnik and Bianchini for 90 mins on Weds if he planned on them starting against WBA. Might see Allen come in for Cooper with Franco moving upfield, but that's probably the only change I could see (and I'd only give that a 20% chance).

Even if we sign someone before the deadline, they'd make the bench at best.

Remember Thornber coming off the bench to score a winning hattrick ?
Remember Gylfi running them ragged in the Prem ?
I suspect there will only be nightmares to remember from this Saturday.

I think we’ll give them a run for their money, in an unwatchable sort of way…

Hate backing against us, but the 4/5 on a home win is probably xmas coming in August.

I'm going to this tomorrow, so I'm banning pessimism (regardless of how reasonable it is).

We've looked alright in the league - first half of Boro aside - and I'm pinning the Cardiff comeback on Luke's nervy subs. No-one cares about the League Cup, Ipswich lost to Wimbledon ffs, so let's just pretend that didn't happen.

Effectively, we're winning tomorrow, getting promoted, and will be in Europe by 2026. YJB

Cooper is literally league1/2 standard. Cant see/understand any of the hype or praise around him

Isn't that why we've brought in the lad from Hounslow?

Or I thought we had...

Had a great 6 months under Martin in 21/22, honestly thought we'd uncovered an absolute star. Mad how little he's progressed since then, he does so little for a #10

The thing he does most is fall over, I've never seen a player spend so much time on the ground

Not even Darling?

Nope, Cooper is in a league of his own. Every time he has the ball he's outmuscled, his kit is always stinking after he's been on the pitch for 20 minutes

 

[NEATH JACK 8]

As much as I don't think much of LW, I'd hate to be in his shoes. How the hell do you pick a team for Saturday based on the abysmal showings so far. Vigouroux in goal and any other 10 ???!!!
