Lee Peltier

[the other bob wilson]

Anyone surprised he’s seeing so much first team football under Sam Allardyce? Not really knocking him because he was a very good signing by Russell Slade, but he does seem to be the sort of player sixty and seventy something managers like.

West Brom 1-0 up against Man United after twenty minutes and playing well.

He's just what Big Sam likes, Peltier enjoys defending first and foremost, i don't think he could play any other way. Big Sam doesn't like his defenders to hold onto the ball. It's astonishing to think that he was England manager not so long ago. Shame that didn't last.

Utd level.

Nice volley from Fernandez

They do enjoy a conservative manager at the FA, Southgate is hardly expansive either. They should be building a team around Grealish but he's wedded to that weird 3-4-3 shape that he makes incredibly rigid (completely defeating the point of it). They played a midfield 2 of Rice & Phillips against Denmark and it was one of the worst games of football I've ever watched

Re: Lee Peltier

Peltier was down for at least two minutes, probably more, and there were two goals.
Added time was two minutes

I hope West Brom don't score again for the sake of the game.
I know you have to play to your strengths and Allardice's strength is organised defending but how awful to watch are they?

Glad Peltier is getting games though and yes, he is your archetypal old school full back, but he was a good servant to City and we could have done with him first part of this season.

Agreed, i don't know why they don't go for Brendan Rodgers.

Re: Lee Peltier

The VAR/officials have had another mare.

MU given a pelanty for a foul on Maguire but the replay shows that Maguire was offside before the incident.

The pelanty was rightly ruled out, not for the offside, but for the contact which was deemed not a foul.

Baffling!

The days of the current best managers taking international jobs are a thing of the past. A top 7 or 8 manager wouldn’t leave their current role for an international one.

Brendan Rodgers is better than England.

They would if it paid enough.

Can't see any reason why Rodgers would put himself in a massively pressurised position that comes with the England manager's position, may even be earning less money and only involved in the football matters every few months.
This especially one that is experiencing a degree of success.

He strikes me as the sort who likes the day to day training and tactile man-managing style.
He would also invariably find himself at loggerheads with club managers over players being released.

It's not even as if it would be the dream job that English managers have always professed.

Rodgers is a good manager and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back at Liverpool soon.

West Brom could and maybe should have won this!
Ref a bit of a homer mind.

West Brom have had a few great chances to go ahead in the second half, but you watch the Mancs win it in added time!

Fergie time
WBA definitely deserve something from this.
