Their forward 3 just drop 10 metres off our CBs when we have possession and shield in front of Sheaf & Hamer/Kelly while their midfield steps up their arses. Just didn't react to it all half and had no answers for it other than o'Hare dropping massively too deep to show for the ball too.

Try not to for these early kick offs but I've got the Jager on ice if the 2nd half continues the same.

Yes a lot of comments about how X, Y, Z players are playing poorly but it's the team's positioning on the pitch and how we're trying to play from that position that is the driver behind all of these poor performances.

Handballed it into the net. He's done us like a Kipre there.

When Hamer retires and starts to get the post football career belly, he's going to look just like Fat Ronaldo.

Do think we're defending too deep again. Must be worried about the speed of their tricky forwards? Midfield are having to cover so much pitch and when they come short for the ball when we're this deep it just sucks the West Brom midfield up the pitch putting too much pressure on the DMs and...

We're a bit too rigid at the moment. It's Kane high and Maatsen deep every time, it's making it too easy for the West Brom forwards to know where to press and then every thing we do is a bit rushed and telegraphed.

Their big back 3 don't look at all comfortable 1 on 1 and go to ground to make the tackle very easily. West Brom look very good at getting into the half spaces and between the lines in our half though. Building into a good contest.

Sheaf has been everywhere so far. Great start from him. Dabo already showed his value going forwards. O'Hare put a great ball in for Sheaf. Good signs!

It's really frustrating when you have an iFollow overseas package and so many games are not shown, but I can't complain when the club is making decent money out of it.

McFadzean for me by a long way. Then Gyokeres and Hamer. All players that have improved on the back end of last season. Shout out to Moore too for the confidence his team mates rightly have in him.

If 350k is right we could just ask Waghorn to go without his wages for a week and then @Greggs can chip in the missing tenner.

He looks to me like he has not fully recovered from last season's hip issue. He walks like he's injured, looks like he's lost a yard of pace 1 on 1 and crosses like he's protecting himself. I hope rushing him back last season has not done long term damage.

Has there been any word from the club on the rumour that Dabo had his bad leg replaced with one of Dacosta's in the summer?

In May we'll be talking about how today was the day that turned the decline around and galvanised our play off spot.

Daylight robbery. Love it.

Ha.

He's been far too happy just to go backwards without even thinking today.

So would I, but this box when we've had 36% possession is fucking useless and far too narrow if the wingbakcs don't make their midfield work.

Need the wingbacks to get high and stretch their 10 men now. Not sure Maatsen has been out of his half today in open play. Would even be tempted to bring Jodi Jones on just to give us some width. The red card has made 0 difference so far.
