PaulC Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I don't rate them at all and this win isn't going to change that. It's like our win at Chelsea under the previous manager. They played Manyoo at a good time. Not too many sides will win at Old Trafford this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Theres a lot of new players and takes time to bed them in. Just like with us. I see them as a mid table team myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I know he wouldnt have fitted in with our current transfer philosophy but kinda wished we'd gone after Sessegnon, behind our front 3 he would have been absolutely deadly. Berahino looks a really good prospect too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 They didn't just win at Old Trafford, they outplayed Man Utd and created lots of chances. Amalfitano looks a great signing, Sessegnon will do well for them and they have Berahino coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty much the same as Nzog, will have a few good games and then be atrocious after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Last time they won there before yesterday was December 30th 1978, they won 5-3! Since then they had been to Old Trafford fifteen times (fourteen in the league, once in the cup) without winning, four draws and eleven defeats if you are wondering. They didn't play at Old Trafford between 85/86 and 2002/03 though. I'm old enough to remember that game. That was a very good west brom side. With Robson, Cunningham, Regis and bomber brown. And of course, it wasn't long before Big Ron and Brian Robson headed to Old Trafford permanently My mind still boggles how close Ron Atkinson is to that game in terms of lineage, he left that West Brom team to take the Manchester United job and was replaced by Fergie.

Robbie09 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Man Ure fans are now realising how ordinary their team are and unless they replace several ageing players they will struggle to finish in the top 4. Yesterday was a good result for the Boggies but without a doubt it is currently a good time to play Man Ure. We'll still finish several places about the Boggies come May.

turnbull Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The 1978 Albion side was easily one of the most exciting teams of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 They didn't just win at Old Trafford, they outplayed Man Utd and created lots of chances. Amalfitano looks a great signing, Sessegnon will do well for them and they have Berahino coming through. Amalfitano is on loan, maybe opened up some other managers eyes. Berahinos contract runs out at the end of this season and is apparently only on £850 a week. A lot of Albion's solutions are short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Amalfitano looks a good player not just the goal but their form has picked up since he joined, think Sessegnon who I dont rate as highly will have enough fire from his Sunderland rejection to play ok for a few months plus with their solid defence should be enough to keep them above water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukaku worked for them last season and seems like these might as well. But problem with short term options is what if they don't? If they were to go down and lose key players for nothing that'd put them in a right shit situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Premier League clubs should be able to loan players between each other either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in the prem where they could help out their parent club just doesn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Still think they will struggle this season. A win against a Sunderland side who were at odds with their manager and against a United team that severely under performed doesn't change my thinking.
