**Official Pre-Match Thread - City v West Brom**

[TDAGlobal Superstar]

Well, here we go again for another match that will help define our season.  Will we see something different, or will WBA turn out to be another of those weaker sides that still look better than us on the day........  

Difficult to predict a side, but after all the discussions on here this week, perhaps an RBMB committee might put out the following line-up....

Marshall

TC  Caulker  Medel  John

Noone  Mutch Whitts Kimbo

Cornelius  Bellamy

Can't see it happening, but if it did, I'd go 2 - 0 City.......

3-1 Cardiff

Sorry I think this will lead to my ban but I cannot see anything other than a comfortable win for West Brom 2-0

Carry on like this and never mind a ban, you could find yourself playing the Tom Hanks role on deserted island with only a punctured football called Jimmy for company..........and there are plenty of deserted islands in the Outer Hebredies!

Ah good old Jimmy, the last time I was with him I left him deflated....Outer Hebredies sounds heaven when do I go?

.....possibly 16:45, Saturday.........

Woah, woah, woah. Medel at centreback? I know he's played there for Chile but I think he's too short to do it in the premier league. Id prefer to see Whitts left wing and Kim miss out, Medel taking his normal spot. If we're playing 4-4-2 wing pace will be less important.

Odemwingie has got to start - players scoring against former clubs is in fashion at the moment.

Can you make it 22.15 as I'm in work till 22.00 Saturday night

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

How's everyone feeling about the game now?

I don't know why, but I always feel optimistic and then get bitterly disappointed.

0-0 tomorrow   

[glasgowronnieCaptain of Country]

Stuck in work tomorrow, so I will just see Soccer Saturday in the back round. Guess even less optimistic than before   

[Tyrion TannisterGlobal Superstar]

I still can't lift this downer in regards to Cardiff. I'd never predict a loss, but my gut says a dull uninspiring 0-0 again.

[SteWellsTeam Captain]

If we're relying on home form, as seems to be the case, we need a win from this. A draw wouldn't be too bad I suppose, another point on the board and all that.

We cannot afford to lose this game.

I don't think Bellamy will start, or if he does, he won't play 90mins. I just don't think he's up to it anymore.
Would love to see Campbell and Cornelius up front together.

[*** G L O V E S ***National Legend]

Gutted to be missing this today. I've backed Malky throughout the season, but I know that anything less than three points today and things will begin to look bleak.

Massive game, but we have the quality (and support) to pull off the win.

1-0.

[CyncoedslumdogNational Legend]

Hoping for a few goals today to lift the mood before Christmas meal out tonight with Slumdog'sSon and his other half's family. Never met them before so don't want to be grumpy.
2-1 City.
