Dean Whitestone will be the man in the middle when Swansea City visit West Brom at The Hawthorns tonight (8pm). The Northamptonshire official will be taking charge of the Swans for the first time this season, having been at the helm for the home win over Blackburn last term, as well as victories over Preston and Middlesbrough in the campaign before that. Whitestone has no shortage of experience, and has been refereeing for long enough to have had the whistle for a Swansea game during the club’s previous stint in the Championship. He will be assisted by Steven Meredith and Shaun Hudson, while Matthew Donohue will be the fourth official.
You can watch tonight’s game on Sky Sports or for those who love an evening by the wireless Talk Sport 2.
We will of course have this match day thread running throughout the day and this evening.

As the Bournemouth game is called off I will have to make the effort to get to this one.
We used to take 3000 here midweek when in the PL. |  |

WBA in horrendous form, worse than us.
I’ll watch the Boro game with interest later. Seems a good a time as any to play them.
No wins in their last 5, including 4 defeats. |  |

They looked very good for the first hour, but Boro just equalised, interesting last 30, but Bruce is starting to make a difference for them.
Plus they have Andy Carroll  |  |

Haven’t checked but I’m sure the commentator said had won only 1 of their last 11 (12 if they don’t win this).
I was more impressed with Boro, I think WBA look poor and expect Boro to go on and win.
WBA just look to catch them on the break, there is very little to their game. The danger man appears to be Grady Diangana, they press high, create that error and use Dianganas pace to create space to try and set up Carroll or Aherne Grant.
Boro look a serious football team though. Pass quickly, with purpose, one touch, not afraid to go long, width, bite in midfield. Nice team to watch.
2-1 Boro as I type. | |

As we need to face both, it is an interesting watch.
I would say Boro look the more dangerous opposition.
Providing we set up differently against WBA a result is definetly possible.
WBA aren't all that | |

They certainly aren’t.
Just checked one of the football stat sites I like and they have the table in the last 6 games and last 10 games showing recent form. Not that it will tell you the quality of the side, but will show you the sort of headspace they may be in.
WBA are bottom.

I’d still happily take a draw though.
But it’s easy to see the name WBA and assume they are something they are not. We have already beaten them this year and currently they are pretty damn awful.
My concern is they do seem pretty perfectly set up to expose us with that pace of Diangana and the high press.
If we insist on playing the pass around the back stuff then we could well get caught a couple of times. | |

It will take a totally different performance from the last three.
Let's hope so | |

Watching Dundalk. Poor standard, lots of aimless kicking back to front. Dan Williams has had few touches that weren't tackles. Got an assist with a corner. 2-1 down at half time.
The physical standard is interesting, Dan is a small player in u23s football but here he's the norm, and that little bit faster and sharper than those around him. Meanwhile the commentators have been banging on like it's a step up with "you don't get the same time and space" cliches. Bohemians have a lad up front who is like a battering ram but I can't imagine he's more than 6'2.
The pitch is also obviously not flat.
edit: Dan dragged off at 52 minutes. [Post edited 25 Feb 2022 21:03]

Always angry .gixer. Would say disappointed as my expectations are so low.
You honestly sanguine right now.
My attitude ensures we never forget how precious our club is and why we do not deserve to be humiliated
People,sadly,are accepting humiliation as part of the Martin plan/project/journey .
You ,me ,armchair scum fans ,season ticket holders and the stadium cat have all being kippered .
I’m a very proud individual and arrogant too so tMartin kind winds me up when he blames players rather than himself . | |

650 ish on Friday.
But can see another few hundred paying on the day.
West Brom have always sold on the day, I have done it there previously, and been in a long queue.
Which shows that match day tickets bring in good revenue. Our lot could learn something from them. | |

We have a lot of supporters living within an hours drive of junction 1, so pay on the day is always sensible. Finish work at a reasonable and go last minute. |  | | |

Very much so.
A heavy defeat, or even a marginal defeat but littered with errors, will see him slaughtered at the next home game. There’s only so much of this fans will take and his recent display of stubbornness won’t help.
Need a performance tonight as much as a win. |  |
