He'd have saved the second.

As would my dead gran.

Really?

It was a great finish after he waltzed past Sheaf, Thomas and Lati.

If in doubt....

Surely Kitching deserves a go next game

 

[MalcSB]

How do the Baggies players understand Corberan, his voice is awful, so throaty and a really heavy accent.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

It really is, happy with our recruitment strategy and execution the last 3 windows? I’d say it’s been pretty poor

Didn't take long for Manure to get rid of Ainsworth after his recruitment was deemed to be poor.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not sure what positives can be taken from conceding 2 goals again.

That is why we’re where we are. But many times we got into good positions just lacked quality to convert them.

Id say Thomas Sakamoto wright and Milan until recently fair enough been good

that’s 4

You really think it isn't going to lampard picking the jan signings?

crack on

 

[skyblue_55]

Invested in Asanti @£2 mill instead of a leader in midfield……. But there are other problems/ signings in our squad

 

[Marty]

Exactly this. Not sure they really give a shit. Just here to pick up a pay check.

The video at the start of the season summed it up, 'just give me my money, yay'. Wankers

A good number 10 would be a start surely Chelsea reserves have one

 

[David O'Day]

Didn't take long for Manure to get rid of Ainsworth after his recruitment was deemed to be poor.

that was more a case he doesn't really do recruitment, he was more of a manager of staff

there's a good piece in the athletic about that

 

[Tommo1993]

I reckon DK’s premier league package money is safe.

 

[clint van damme]

That is why we’re where we are. But many times we got into good positions just lacked quality to convert them.

But if we keep conceding 2,then we have to be converting 3 to win games. It's not realistic.

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

It wasn't all bad tonight, lots of good points. WBA looked nothing special. They got lucky with the first goal massive deflection.

Yet we still lost! That’s the worry, we’re losing against shite

What video is this?

 

[David O'Day]

It wasn't Asante or a midfielder though, we tried to do both but the midfielders either said no or like the one from Liverpool got a nasty injiry.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

But if we keep conceding 2,then we have to be converting 3 to win games. It's not realistic.

I agree. Much depends on getting improvements at the back.

Story of the season

 

[lord_garrincha]

Promotion in year 6, and he's played a blinder!

 

[David O'Day]

They are 6th, they draw too many games but there aren't a "shite" team.

 

[quinn1971]

Can’t put any blame on Collins 2nd goal If Bassette does that it’s a brilliant goal, problem was he shouldn’t have got the chance, we looked solid on Saturday and we bring Eccles in and drop simms, Bassette does better off the bench, don’t change a winning side, that was robins problem

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They are 6th, they draw too many games but there aren't a "shite" team.

Didn’t look anything special. No team has except Leeds.

 

[SBT]

He'd have saved the second.

As would my dead gran.

Absolute bollocks, but condolences nonetheless to you and the rest of the Schmeichel family

 

[Hobo]

He wouldn't, he's hopeless. Dovin may have though.

What about PVA's dead gran though?

 

[MalcSB]

Tye xG stats are interesting, WBA 0.47, CCFC 2.24.

That is their lowest xG throughout their run of draws and our xG was the highest for opponents during that run. And yet we lost

 

[Tommo1993]

Wasn’t bad.
Lots of good points.
<opponents name> were nothing special.
We were unlucky.

Sick of reading it after constantly shipping multiple goals and losing.

 

[fernandopartridge]

there's loads of difference

the players look like they know what they are meant to be doing for once, the execution needs working on but if you really think that then crack on.

Lati looked like a centre back who knew what he was doing for the second

 

[Rodders1]

WBA got lucky. Massive deflection and a lapse in concentration. And we couldn’t hit a barn door …. But time and a decent Jan window will help.

Eccles needs to start at RB to give MVE a rest.

We need to try Kitching - his physicality at least will help and I like the way he drives forward on the ball.

No idea about GK. Or CF!

This was not like Burnley which was ponderous shite.

 

[Major Tom]

Why do we have to go wide every time …
We can’t shoot in front of goal
Eccles and Sheaf doesn’t work
We look easy to play against
We don’t run at players
Passing needs improvement
Confidence needs some serious work
Frank has a lot of work to do as he’s inherited some real issues there

Positives
We can play as proved it on Saturday
Hadji Wright to come back
Bassett is raw and can develop
Torp only midfielder with vision and gets in goal scoring chances need to build around him
King will get his wallet out in January

 

[PVA]

Absolute bollocks, but condolences nonetheless to you and the rest of the Schmeichel family

It's not bollocks.

He did the hard part, he got there and then his chocolate wrists did their usual trick.

0.24 post shot expected goals on that shot.

 

[fernandopartridge]

We've had superior xG in most games this season under Robins and since then, it doesn't represent a change because we still don't take chances and still gift two goals away

 

[coop]

Asante proving to be a terrible signing, do we have another right back to give MVE time to go on a diet?

 

[Ashdown]

No steel, no aggression, no nastiness, no real drive. No wonder Kitching can’t get a look in, he’s probably too fucking prone to intimidating the opposition or being a bit competitive.

 

[Matt smith]

Wasn’t bad.
Lots of good points.
<opponents name> were nothing special.

All the signs of a poor team.

 

[wingy]

Maybe it's only ever against us, but I feel WBA are one of those teams who have it in their DNA to be utter wank and win games.

If they had our chances and we had theirs, WBA would probably have scored four tonight.

He'd have saved the second.

As would my dead gran.

I did wonder why he was off center to the left and the ball went right?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Should have scored 4 and could have quite easily
Some shocking misses
Sheaf at fault for their second take the booking
