Livermore being captain he was always going to start. Manager even emphasised that before the game. Surprised Molumby didn't start in midfield with him though. Fulham are the better team and have three in midfield, thought Molumby with how lively he is would get the nod ahead of 34yr old Snodgrass.Quote:

Hugill wasn't getting dropped after scoring twice. Snodgrass with a lovely assist for Fulham's second goal with that back pass.
So what? If he's scoring for us on the back of a dry spell like he did recently then what about it?Quote:

Starts tonight in the absence of Livermore. Robinson starts too.
Hopefully both will get a fairer crack of the whip under Bruce.
O'Shea and Brown on the benches which is good on both fronts.
Molumby scored his first goal since July 2020 on Tuesday night, at 0:22 below
Does take a deflection, but was still on target from the initial shot
"Jayson Molumby will be an Albion player next season" is a really unhelpful headline with Brighton and West Brom are the two clubs involved...
Confirmation that Molumby's loan to West Brom has been made permanent

"Molumby's done," Bruce revealed when asked about the player's future after the stalemate. "Molumby was done weeks ago. The deal was kicked in weeks ago, so he's our player now."
Steve Bruce hasn’t exactly improved West Brom much since his arrival. I wonder will they be looking for a change of manager over the summer ?Quote:

As big a spoofer as there is in professional football management. Nice man? possibly. Capable manager? Absolutely not.Quote:

O'Shea is out of contract next summer so hopefully he holds off on signing anything for awhile to see how next season goes.Quote:

Went to Millwall a few months after coming back and played well that season but things have been meh since then.
Going by that Bruce might get them out of the division next year ( The old ones are the best )
Bruce is an average manager and it takes a good to very good manager to get a team up to the premier league these days and probably with more modern coaching as well.
Molumby to me is in the mold of Mark Kinsella or Matt Holland. Both didnt really become regular Premiership or international players until later in their 20s.
Molumby will probably be a good pro like those 2 and have a good career but hes not the top class player some of us thought he could be for while
I will be pleasantly surprised if he turns out to be as good as either of them.Quote:

Id be delighted if Molumby becomes as good as even Lee Carsley never mind the other 2 mentioned. He has time and has shown glimpses that he is capable of it.
Didn’t Lee Carsley play for Everton for quite a while when Everton were half decent ?Quote:
