Two bad league performances against two beatable teams .. really disappointing where’s the belief gone

[False9]

The distances in the midfield in first half was shocking. Gave the WBA midfield so much time and space.

 

[Osullivan18]

how can we play like that in the last 20mins, and not all game?

surely that 2nd half formation is one to run with?

I'd say the goal gav us momentum. Sadly we set up to not lose and that plan went out the window pretty quickly

 

[Nick]

Again we could have played without a keeper and the score would have been the same. Is that three in a row now?

Yeah but clean sheet against Stoke and Maidstone

 

[rhino1002]

We had 17 shots to their 7
They had 2 shots on target (I wonder what happened to them )

 

[steve101]

Would have been great if we had got some extra players in during January but there is no excuse for the lack of heart and endeavour. Better in the second. Torp and Eccles got closer. For me there was only one player who looked like they were desperate for a win and that was Palmer.
I don't think WBA are that good. We had loads of chances. Simms composure is awful.

 

[higgs]

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

We don't deserve it. Honestly, we don't have any heart.

Didn't give up, so don't get the 'no heart' comment. Impressed with Torp. Simms had a night to forget, and Wright (pen aside) wasn't involved. Need an upgrade on Da Silva too. It'll be next season we are more of a top 6 side - be great if Sheaf is fit asap. PUSB.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sky commentators have been a disgrace tonight. How the fuck have we not deserved anything out of this game?

Because we didn't, West Brom won in second gear

First half shite, second half much improved. Created the better chances but really poor defending for the goals.

Really good performance by Palmer. Simms should have been hooked for Godden.

 

[Great_Expectations]

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.

 

[Dickie]

A lot of dead wood in this team…

 

[HadjiChippo]

Love Simms and how much he’s improved as of late, but I never want to see him shooting from outside the box ever again.

seen it far too much this season with him hitting from hope from distance with better options on.

Went off on a stretcher against Preston.

What is this mystery virus anyway?

The two bob bits doing the rounds?

Would assume we paid a few million for the new leader who sits on the bench

 

[larry_david]

Yeah but everybody is ill, tired or whatever. They are humans so got to fuck about every week.

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

He can fucking shoot is what’s weird. Just not for us it seems.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Thought Wright was ok when he came on.

He wasn't

Fans fighting each other in the away end

Not really surprising hearing of bottles being thrown at Stoke!

 

[ptr]

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

I fucking wish he was as good as mediocre. Shite. Too easy to be run past.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Average to shite. Toss up between Torp’s set pieces and Simms’ shooting for biggest bag of wank of the night. We improved second half but as always you look better when you’re two down and the oppo just sit back. Feels a while since we put in a good league performance over 90 minutes.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Because we didn't, West Brom won in second gear

Nah that’s a cop out, WBA weren’t in second gear, they were just shit. Saved from two moments that got them goals.

 

[Matt smith]

Da Silva is shite

simms is useless

but I’m not going overreact, still 9th

2 defeats in a row but is what it is

win Wednesday

His miss early on was very poor too.

 

[fatso]

They had two shots and scored them both.

We have 12 put out the stand.

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

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If he’s done giving his all then yeah, I look forward to it.

Shop window performances until he confirmed his destination then it’s easy street to avoid injuries from then on.

 

[shmmeee]

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.

 

[covmark]

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

Absolutely. At least Simms puts himself about. Having said that, Simms" finishing is atrocious. He seems to want to smash everything.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Think it's clear what a big miss Sheaf is. Not been the same since he's been out.

Nah, we need an upgrade. Don’t you read SBT?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

COH left weeks ago.

Correct

 

[Nick]

We let them sit back. They brought an extra defender on.

We did nothing.

 

[junglej13]

I wouldn’t sign Binks and JDS being given a 4 year contract is just weird - he’s nowhere near good enough.

Agree completely. Dasilva is the worst left wingback we have had in about 5 years. Binks isn't a defender in a million years. Huge step down from Kitching.

 

[shmmeee]

Not really surprising hearing of bottles being thrown at Stoke!

That’s one hell of a throw from the Hawthorns.

 

[duffer]

Easy to overreact, but it just feels like Simms is so hot and cold it's ridiculous.

It doesn't help that he still doesn't seem to have any kind of partnership with Wright.

It's obviously unfair to put it all on one player, no one really covered themselves in glory, but boy it's frustrating to watch.
