Match Thread West Bromwich Albion - Coventry City Match Thread - Friday 1st Mar (31 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

We bottled it against two playoff rivals and in doing so have given ourselves what is likely too big a challenge.

Too many anonymous performances recently from our better players.

Key amongst our summer recruits is a leader.

3 play off rivals, we've played Norwich, Preston and West Brom and lost them all.

After having seasons where we played our own game and beat teams going for automatic promotion, we have meekly surrendered to inferior teams going to the play offs, that's on the manager.

I've ran 50k in 4 days, I manage a team of 20,I'm fucked, ill and depressed. But I could go on for 10 mins and make an effort.

Fuck illness, if they're that ill they wouldn't he sat on the bench together passing the germ around the dressing room

regardless, hope you're ok, reach out to someone if you need to talk

Problem with wright and Simms is they are always on their heels no anticipation or desire to take a gamble and neither are clinical enough at this level ... Not just their fault tonight though

 

[junglej13]

I've posted similar about four times this season... Another game lost when the team sheet went in.

 

[Major Tom]

'we're going to have to get used to playing without him'

Needs to say his head has gone. He came back proved he was fit and hungry.., contract has distracted him .. half our fault for taking a gamble on not offering him one to give him some security when he got injured .. most players come back from an ACL these days

 

[Paxman II]

The fight was missing until the last 15 mins. Why is that? yes we are short on one or two players but this was a crucial game and no one seemed up for it in the first 60 mins? Just don't think the team was balanced again. Stop rotating players so much. Bidders should have played, the first goal may never have happened. Kitching not in and lauteboudier in? Wright not in.
We have a bit to go yet and teams in and around all playing each other so it's not over yet, but we must take the bull by the horns and get ourselves on another run.

We got too obsessed with no loans this season, always space for a few that West Brom one killed us.

On a serious note Robins has been amazing for us and deserves a statue but I’m 100% convinced he’s not the one to take us forward. Too often he fucks the team over before they can get going with stupid selections.

West Brom are a well oiled machine and that gaffer they have is quality.

Oggy on cwr giving it the fatigue excuse. Make it make sense.

 

[Matt smith]

We were flying and robins tinkers

Stop tinkering

Collins
Milan
Thomas
Kitching
Bidwell

 

[Major Tom]

Acting like they fucking dominated us, they nicked 2 goals, first one just individual moment of brilliance and commentator acting like they just total footballed us to a 4-0 win.

In fairness we chased that game all night all of our shots were outside of the box

 

[ptr]

Genuinely seen someone on Twitter blame Simms for bad touch about a minute prior to the goal. Fuck off

 

[chiefdave]

Living the amateur fitness experts. I think there was a job going recently, you all should have applied. You’d have been a shoe in.

There's been a couple of ads today for psychologists. plenty of people on here who are experts in that field

 

[Hobo]

he was pretty anonymous - there is no guts and desire - it’s just lacking

But a lot of the balls into them are rubbish. Or we just keep passing it around the edge of the area and don't put it in and eventually lose it or go back to the half way line.

We don't build pressure on teams. We don't work the centre of the defence when we have the opportunity to do so. It was the same against WBA at home.

Preston was a poor result, Norwich and West Brom are simply better than us at the moment

The last 15 minutes were as shit as the rest of it. Let's be honest.

Other teams don't play games

Simms and Wright are not top 6 forwards in the division - they are the flagship signings and whatever the excuses they are poor and underachieving - they need to look at themselves and do better

 

[wingy]

Let's hope preston win tomorrow against Hull we need sheaf back ASAP and really impressed with thorp bin the 5 at the back bring in bidders palmer very impressive tonight also

Preston draw?
Not that it matters barring miracles.

It was, we did nothing to try and get at them after they brought the defender on.

They're all better than us

Had a west brom fan texting me throughout, he was actually worried for the last 15, not sure why.

 

[Chris1987]

Play offs very unlikely now . We have been bullied too much and the lack of quality and squad depth in certain positions has become all too apparent. Still plenty to look forward to next season in my opinion with additions to the team.

 

[Major Tom]

Btw before anyone does blame him, it’s not Eccles fault. Put another shift in and doesn’t shy away. Missing Sheaf big time.

Can never knock his commitment..

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Time to give Moore a go?

 

[SkyblueDad]

With Wilson in goal they only need 2 shots on target.

You are talking bollox as usual both goals were down to intial poor defending from Cillins

 

[Nick]

Time to give Moore a go?

Collins is much better, he was dropped.

Footlong steak and cheese.

I've seen a couple of that's on the .manager comments in your posts lately. Are you angry with MR? Not a dig, just curious.

 

[Major Tom]

Bink is very mediocre and gives away far too many unnecessary fouls.

I don’t think we foul enough.. far to honest and lightweight as team

 

[Ashdown]

With Wilson in goal they only need 2 shots on target.

Neither were Wilsons fault

What did he say in the changing room when he was explaining his selection? How was he looking around the training ground? Were Kitchen and Bidwell upset about not starting? How did everyones fitness tests go this week?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Torp for their goal is busy telling Eccles to cover space and oblivious to Diagana walking into the box, pathetic

surely robins cant go out in summer and buy another £9m striker?

Not their fault the defence has been that poor that we need to score 2+ to get a point these days

 

[Major Tom]

Interesting stat on Sky on 2 wins against top 8
