A win against Sheff U would be the stuff of dreams reality

Corrected that for you

[David O'Day]

Nice early easy enough win, no one really broke a sweat as so should all be good for midweek.

Lovely start to the weekend

 

[Ibby]

Good win.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

When did we last do the double over these?

 

[Finham]

Oggys nose squeak is back. Bloody Ian Wright...

 

[Ash]

When did we last do the double over these?

In the 60s apparently. This is the only time I think we’ve ever looked comfortable against them away, very professional performance and sets us up nicely for the run in

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Get Dasilva off now.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Agreed, not controlled an away game like that since Portsmouth

[TomRad85]

That was a hugely professional performance

Seen a few moans saying we were shit, but we didn't need to get our of first gear. That is the worst Albion side ive ever seen

We got 2 ahead, we saw the game out, the first professional away performance in months. We done well

We weren't shit, it was the perfect away performance. Proof some people will moan about anything.

 

[The Nomad]

A win against Sheff U would be the stuff of dreams.

I'd bite your hand off for a draw.

 

[wingy]

The first voice message on CWR: "Really angry that we've thrown the league lead away.....NOT!"

Impressively dated and petty.

I wonder how many people are too young to get the Waynes World reference reference now?

Or too old.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Same.

Sure you ain't got the Trots?

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

What a win - such a confident first half then when we were under the cosh in the second, we dealt with it.

Perfect way to build on Monday. Perfect way to set the tone for Wednesday.

All I know is City's on the way 🩵

 

[David O'Day]

Also if The Baggies keep trying to pay out from the back with players who are not remotely good enogh t o do so then they are going down.

Lovely stuff

 

[Finham]

What does that even mean???? I just don't geg all this xg shite

It means that someone has coded an algorithm that measures the % chance of each chance being a goal. What the tech lovers who claim it is objective and scientific don't appreciate is that even with a computer, your outcomes are going to depend on how you code it! We've all seen plenty of hilariously wrong XG %'s for shots/chances.

 

[Finham]

Rudoni sounds a bit like Clinton Morrison.

It's actually based on historical databases of shots on goal.

 

[covcity4life]

Good overall performance overall of not spectacular

A big 3 points. Take a draw at Sheffield utd

Hopefully a few teams do us a favour today

They’ve got go long haven’t they stick dike on a play around him

 

[TomRad85]

What a player Onyeka is. Will be playing for us in Prem if he keeps it up.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Nice early easy enough win, no one really broke a sweat as so should all be good for midweek.

Hopefully the Sheffield derby is a battle tomorrow

 

[ovduk78]

Very pragmatic second half
West Brom players deeply frustrated with their manager

He surely can't survive after that, just seen his interview & not sure what game he was watching saying it was even & both goals should have been better defended

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I am glad you put that as I thought I had heard him wrong, the rubbish he came out with is the sort that gets you the sack.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

He surely can't survive after that, just seen his interview & not sure what game he was watching saying it was even & both goals should have been better defended

Yep the players weren’t really responding well to him at the end
You can’t sack two managers unless you’re Watford

 

[Finham]

It's actually based on historical databases of shots on goal.

But even then it can never identically replicate circumstances exactly. Does it factor in wind, pitch conditions, the cycle of the moon, the bloke elbowing him in the back that the evaluator missed? There's far too many variables to scientifically say "that chance should be a goal 7% of the time". Now that is a scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but its a scientific fact (someone will get this reference).

 

[Evo1883]

onyeka is a great signing , we deserves to win today although we were a bit sloppy at times

 

[ovduk78]

Or Forest

 

[MAFF]

Good win. Boring game. Onyeka is a great signing.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Hopefully the Sheffield derby is a battle tomorrow

Yeah at least two united players sent off and a few injuries. "Every little helps"

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Good win. Boring game. Onyeka is a great signing.

Second half yes but what about the first half two cracking goals.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Nice confident win. Onyeka gives us that bit more solidity.

 

[Warwickhunt]

What a professional performance that was! I appreciated that we held it solid in the second half but would have liked us to push on them to stem some of the transitions.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

A deserved motm for the Tank, real quickly establishing himself as a key player and a fan favourite
