I would be surprised if he did to be honest. It wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do while still under contract at WBA.
On a side, if a player can’t play against their parent club, when the two meet do the parent club have to pay the respective part of that player’s wages for that game/few days?

I was wondering what his reaction to the goal was, & indeed what his thoughts on the game & outcome would of been pre & during match, despite possibly remainly neutral outwardly.
I saw the brief footage of him watching the game with his family from one of the boxes, must be right mix of emotions as he'll obviously still have mates at WBA as he will have now at Stoke aswell.
Wonder if he was an asset in our pre match planning having spent the pre season and first few weeks of the season working with their new gaffer & detailing what his high press tactics consist of?!

Our midfield seemed way more aggressive & mobile without him in there

He’d neither understand nor buy into those tactics that’s why he was bombed.

Sawyers is an excellent player who will play a big role through the season but I expect we'll keep the same midfield for the next game?

Our midfield seemed way more aggressive & mobile without him in there It was always going to, no? It also had Allen in instead of Clucas, who is far more mobile and just generally closer to the play defensively. The shirt should be Thompson’s to lose now, but whatever his shortcomings, Sawyers brings an eye for a pass that no one else in the team has.

He’s a Baggies fan isn’t he? Yeah boyhood fan and came through the youth ranks there That said, recent events may have tainted his bond with them so woukd imagine he’d have been quite happy with the win the other night

I'd argue Vrancic, Powell & possibly Thompson & Smith have the same eye for a pass but I know what you mean

Non combatant, casual, heading well let’s just not go there.

When he went to WBA, everyone was moaning “that’s exactly the player we should have got”. When we got Woods, “he only had a good reputation because it was Sawyers doing all the rest”. Now he’s here and is playing the same way as he did at Brentford and people are suddenly outraged. He will play really well when his passing ability is better exploited. Once Campbell does come back, he will have a true outlet. Hogan has one good season at Brentford and I’d hazard a guess that a lot of that was down to through balls from Sawyers.

I think it's because we've played him at the base of midfield where historically he hasn't played his best football and there are times when the midfield looks a bit lightweight as a result. I think after the Preston game I get what we're trying to do with him in there- have him as someone who recycles possession quickly and keeps things ticking that way - but it's at the cost of any kind of physical presence in the midfield. Maybe it'll work out and there's also definitely a role for him competing with Vrancic IMO. Yet the balance looked so much better with Allen and Thompson in there on Friday.

Never thought I'd be happy to see Joe Allen back in our midfield.

Also for me, playing him there increases the risk when one of his passes doesn’t come off. A player like him can take risks and split the opposition open, but from where he’s playing it’s also increases the danger from a misplaced pass. For me he’s had some incredibly insightful passes but also some that have come close to costing us. Those happening further up the field wouldn’t be as dangerous

We cannot afford Sawyers, Vrancic and Powell. One or two of the three on a rotational basis or dependent on fitness. Keep the two tacklers in midfield, Thompson and Allen preferably.

Just highlights really why we need an actual DM. One player can do the job Allen and Thompson we needed to do but neither can do it on their own.

Came through the ranks there, so assume he is attached to them. Wouldn't want to be seen celebrating.
