They're not out of their depth, but their position's not really false either. They're pretty solid, but don't get many; that's why they're where they are.

I didn't think so; I thought they brought each other down when both were trying to win the ball.

He was never a realistic possibility of a signing. Firstly, he would have been asking for more in wages than we'd pay, and secondly, we wouldn't be able to guarantee him regular starts. He would be a plan B. A good plan B, but I don't think that's what he'd want!

Still a poor decision.

Ffs.

Tbh, I don't think that West Brom team could cut through butter like butter.

We did what we had to do. Back four all played very well. Onyeka's exactly what we needed, and whilst he didn't have any real sighters on goal, I thought Wright played very well with his back to goal; some excellent hold-up play and lay offs.

Second half was less ridiculous, but the first half was a baffling performance.

Get in. Did what we had to do in that half, no drama.

Tbf, the MvE and Thomas bookings were tghe right decisions. Both professional fouls to prevent a break. Saka's wasn't soft, it was an unfathomable case of mistaken identity. There's no question at all that Onyeka deserved a yellow.

Professional. Just have to avoid doing anything stupid. Comical performance from the referee. Onyeka definitely deserved a yellow, but Saka didn't. At the end he was waiting for them to take a shot. You don't do that, ref; it's not rugby, you don't have to wait until the phase of play is over.

Much backstabbing at the Hawthorns to come.

Indeed! Forgot Allen. His mum was very heavily pregnant with him. The bag of essentials had probably been packed in anticipation by that point.

Only Bidwell and Wilson would have been. Grimes' mum would have been pregnant with him.

88-89. Killer actually missed the pen against their makeshift goalie.

I thought that was Drury, tbh. It's all bombastic nonsense as far as I am concerned. He was the subject of great Squires cartoon, though.

We completely dominated the first half. Second half, they were only the better team if you take the better team as being the one that dominates possession. That was a deliberate ploy; as you rightly state, the high intensity and aggression of the first half was not sustainable, hence the...

Tbf, the squad they came up with was for the most part an above average League 1 squad, so they needed players they knew could perform at this level. That's their modus operandi; spunk loads on a new squad whenever they need one, because they don't have to think about cash turnover. It's...

Tbf, War and Peace is about familial relationships in Tsarist Russia and how they're affected by the Napoleonic wars, and I bet it would be less revered if it were about you needing to give a new signing more time.

Christ, are these terrible puns ova now?
