Annoying one to concede. You can see why WBA draw so often, they dominate without particularly threatening.

So similar to Southampton last season

Eccles is wank. Hopefully Lampard begins to see this. He offers nothing defensively or by way of Goals of Assists

generally he’s an all round decent player but put him and Sheaf in the team together and we miss some creativity in there, they do the same or similar, the ‘boring stuff’ - fine when needed but you can see the spark is missing

needs one or the other, and I would say Sheaf is the better player

taking this game in isolation I think the ‘own goal’ has affected him, I did hope he’d come out and score / set one up but doesn’t look like that and maybe it’s still on his mind - maybe Lampard tells him at half time to forget it and it works, maybe he brings him off because the two don’t offer much together, we will see…

None of our middle three are getting on the ball. Eccles the most involved out of the 3. Sakamoto gives some creativity but we need more. Too slow out from the back too.
We are looking defensively stronger on the whole.

 

[Boicey]

We generally lack pace as well as playing the ball slowly.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yeah , he's always right though even when he isn't .
He'll disappear off the match thread again if EMC scores

I was posting after EMC scored in the last game so that’s nonsense

 

[Major Tom]

its clear alot of people are watching from twitter updates rather than live/sky, ridiculous comments

I’m watching ion Sky and can still do a ridiculous comment

 

[Domo]

we're doing fine, WBA are pressing us very hard, cov are playing well, EMC, bob, collins playing really welll tonight. goal was a fluke, could have easily gone wide, keep the faith

EMC has had 10 touches all half and 6 of them were in the play where he put that cross in

 

[Gint11]

Think we’re playing alright. We’re in this game

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Oh yes you claimed he tried his hardest to miss it

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Torp will score second half from the 30 yards.

Can only fucking hope so

 

[Ashdown]

We are Haji Wright short of a team here. Nowt in this.

Eccles is getting a lot of flak tonight but Sheaf seems well of the pace , wonder if his ankle is still playing him up

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No I didn’t, why do you make things up to try and win a discussion

 

[Domo]

lovely cross tho

 

[fatso]

Think we just need to be quicker with our passing and movement.

The deflection was a total fluke. We haven't created enough yet though.

Think Thomas, overall, has had a very good game.

We need better delivery from the corners, we've had plenty of set plays but not threatened enough.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Albion are nothing special, we really need to give their 2 CBs more problems though.
They're 2 on 1 v Bassette. Easy time for them.
Need to get EMC much closer to him.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We can’t transition quickly from defence to midfield to attack. It’s ponderous and not positive.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

lovely cross tho

It was. He needs to do more though to be honest.

 

[Domo]

I’m watching ion Sky and can still do a ridiculous comment

go on then, give me a ridiculous comment

 

[Marty]

Thought we generally did alright so far, I'd target Styles for 10 mins, get the ball to Sakamoto and just run at him and see if he'll get himself sent off.

 

[Domo]

It was. He needs to do more though to be honest.

what would you like him to do, bake you a cake? hes playing well, reacting well, and his confidence looks boosted, really excited about him for future games

 

[mmttww]

I’m saying it as it is.

You're not Reuters, mate. It's an opinion.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Not one ball passed between their backs from Sheaf or Rudoni or Eccles. If I was EMC I would be given shit out

 

[David O'Day]

I have a feeling that we do usually lose when Lati goes for a fro instead on braids

 

[Nick]

Is that a striker for midfielder for them?

Have more than 10 touches would be a start.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

How do you win an online discussion?

Just pointing out you don't like or rate EMC and seem overjoyed to point out when he isn't playing well .
Do you give yourself a virtual pat on the back and radiate smugness ?

I’m not I’m commenting on the game. I’d rather him score than play crap What a ridiculous comment.

 

[Nick]

Looks like they have gone 1 up front now

 

[ptr]

Would still take Swift. Would be a great addition for us.

Mowatt is their best player

To be fair you are acting as if he’s committed a war crime. Or played worse than cucurella did for Chelsea.

 

[Tommo1993]

I reckon it stays the same, 1-0 FT

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Cucurella got an assist for Chelsea. Would be good if EMC got one today
