Not sure how we are only 1-0 down after that awful first half performance ?
As others have said, WBA look a class above us...that's what premiership money and parachute payments do for you.
Even their bench looks pretty good.
WBA seems to just be able to carve their way through the middle or especially down that right flank...how is there so much space available ?
We need to improve 2nd half...if we don't, there will be more misery for us.

Jamie fucking Allen, how does this c**t even get a game, let alone be captain.

I’m getting brassed off watching the miserable sod. He offers nothing to this side at all. Oh he works hard wow wee….

 

[Deity]

Allen reminds me a lot of Shipley. Runs around a lot but his actual contribution is minimal.

 

[Tommo1993]

Tripe

You’ll have to elaborate. Can’t see where I’m wrong

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We tend to play like scared rabbits in headlights at the hawthorns in general .

We've maybe a couple of good results here at most in years ..

We simply HAVE to be better

We could play a lot better next half, but if they play the same, they could still win by 3. They really should have more than one goal - that first 15-20 minutes was like watching a boxer on the ropes. For me, it is because we have next to no control in the middle of the park (although credit to West Brom - they're playing really well). It's probably our toughest game between now and the end of the season, so I'm not too stressed about it. Panzo does have the look of an accident waiting to happen tonight, though.

They are a good side. We were lucky to get anything against them when we were on form. And now, we are not on good form. Just have to hope we snake a draw and that would be fantastic result.

Live footage of Bidwell trying to get over the halfway line.

I’ve seen pensioners in mobility scooters in Benidorm move quicker than bidwell and Allen tonight.

 

[Tommo1993]

Allen does work and Palmer gets to ghost around all day

 

[covhead1]

I think we're still gonna win this one

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Difficult to tell on ifollow but wasn't their scorer offside?

McNally disappointing after Saturday. Bidwell very poor too.

I don't think we were lucky last time. The big difference is they can just bring in anyone they want on big wages and we lose O'Hare while having to scrabble around for cheap replacements.

 

[Johhny Blue]

What's the ruling? Throw in must be taken where it goes out?

What if it’s 40 ft in the air?

 

[It’sabatch87]

That was a tough watch.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Albrighton is premier league quality…Coffey and panzo out of position a lot. Doyle a little weak when pressured. Midfield working hard to to get ball …let alone use it.
At only 1 down you never know but I fear a long 45

Like watching a Y7 in a sixth form game. Absolutely useless.

 

[no_loyalty]

Their keeper who is supposed to be shit not had a save to make.

 

[shmmeee]

And I maintain Doyle is shocking in the air for a lad of his size.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Panzo off at half time for me.

Are you any good?

 

[CovLis86]

They've certainly strengthened and we..... Think it's generous to say we are about the same. Wage budget is clearly king.

He hasn't lost the ball. Probably the only one. And he put it on a plate for Gyokeres. Not sure how he is the one people are criticising?

 

[itsabuzzard]

@itsabuzzard that's how its done

I hadn't even got started on the football. Anyway, c**t is a noun, not a verb.

tbf those scooters are pretty nippy

Wilson hat-trick?

 

[Skybluecol]

To be expected, when their squad cost 10 times the amount that ours did. We're doing ok though tbf.

We're doing OK? What game are you watching? We're not even doing the basics half decent. Most players are out of position. There's visibility little communication at the back.
BNC has been put in the deep end when he joined us and should not be playing this evening. Bidwell to drop into back 3 at expense of Panzo who looks lost atm. Burroughs and Eccles on for BNC and Panzo.
If Palmer continues to be too casual on the ball then put godden or maguire on.

They are clueless that's why

He’s Mark Robins PaullTelfer

 

[The Philosopher]

Norton off - Eccles on
Allen off - Borroughs on
Panzo off - Maguire on

Move things around

Bidwell to LCB,
Borroughs to LWB but tight on Albrighton
Maguire just behind Vik

 

[stupot07]

And he's spent half the game covering Cuffy at right back.

He’s rubbish, constantly unable to control the ball, never gets close to winning it, he’s played one decent pass all game where he was put in by Gus. He doesn’t lose the ball because the only passes he makes are five yard backwards balls. If he’s an attacking midfielder I’m shagging Kylie Minogue.

 

[Skybluecol]

Sheaf poor on the ball. Palmer a passenger AGAIN.

Allen will get the blame again.

100% this. Palmer is usually poor away from home imo. Way too casual on the ball.

 

[Tommo1993]

Yes teams have a financial advantage, I’m fed up of hearing it. This team at some point needs to learn to sock it to the opponent instead of rolling over at the first sniff of danger.

You should be so lucky.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Should bring Godden, McGuire & Eccles on for Gyokores

You Should Be So Lucky!

Norton-Cuffy has been better than Bidwell. Confirmation bias rules.
