Re: Robert Snodgrass

Correct, the same as when I saw Tarks come on against Arsenal as a 70th minute (around there) sub. After a few minutes I realised he was class. I suppose its about the individuals eye. You either have an eye or you don't. Lets see where he ends up. We will re-open this when he's playing non league....

Yea sorry I was carrying on my sarcasm about Benson, whom I just don't rate one iota. Snodgrass would be a decent short term signing for me. Especially if it is around 3m
Just out of interest, how many times have you see Benson play (and particularly in his preferred position)?

Re: West Brom v Burnley 1961-62

A great Burnley team on view there but we were certainly under the cosh in the 1st half. Some great saves from Blacklaw but Adam's kicking wasn't the best. But a typical Claret performance of getting a result when not at our best. UTC

No wonder we started the season with extremely poor options at centre back and right midfield. We seem to be pulling our way out of trouble, but if we don't the reason will be because of the above.
