I was thinking about that game this morning as well. I think it was a cup game, in front of what was then a record Ricoh attendance.

Such a depressing time to support the club. Felt like we would never be competitive

I was at that 0-5 thumping so depressing at the time

I disagree it was Molumby who cost them the game. It was their manager for not dragging him at HT. Pretty much everyone could see it. Numerous people called it.

I was thinking it would be Grant although I don't think he was booked or was he, certainly should have been, over competitive.

I really can’t be bothered to get into arguments but we need a better left sided defender - whatever MVEs limitations are he always can recover position with pace. Dasilva can’t. He was exposed badly all of the first half. We can’t concede two like we did and win games all the time.

The left side of the team is far worse than the right. If we could find a player in January who is better than Dasilva and use him like we do Allen we’d be in a far better position.

If we did have, would we have 10 wins in our last 10 instead of the 9?

Birchall played in his the World Cup for Trinidad and Tobago

I do remember a CWR phone in when Geoff foster said Simpson was better than Jordan Henderson and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t starting

Big difference in mentality for me today. Watching WBA was fucking odd; even when they were 2-0 up they seemed to have no confidence and looked like they didn't quite believe they were winning, after Eccles' goal several of their players started throwing strops at each other then Molumby had the most stupid and pointless second yellow I've ever seen. It was only ever going to end one way as soon as that happened.

So thrilled for Simms getting the equaliser, he's shown great improvement his last few appearances and it's the perfect start to what it looks like will be an extended period of starting appearances for him. Torp was fucking great yet again, MVE and Sakamoto are an unstoppable pair.

What a great afternoon despite shit weather. Love this team!

Yeah, got to expect that now. Baggies mate who was there said it was the best they’ve played for a while

Fair play to the lads today, didn’t let heads drop (unlike the load of our fans that headed to the bar when they scored their second), we just raised our game. Would’ve been interesting if they’d kept 11 on the pitch but as soon as we scored one you had to fancy us for at least a point as when we’re going forward with proper intent teams struggle to handle us

Best result so far this season. Performance wasn’t great in parts, but to come back from 2-0 down was a big achievement today.

2 comeback wins in recent weeks is a great sign for our season too. In a v general sense, under Lampard you could assume we’d win if we take the lead and lose if we went 1-0 down.

Onto Boro now, 3 points there and you really can’t see us fucking up this season!

Boro won’t let us get away with the sloppiness we showed first half mind you.

George Best . Just been informed my Thai Airways flight Beijing to Bkk tomorrow will be delayed by 3 hours at least. The win today will help with that.

Yeah Thomas & Kitching were getting caught out of position all the time. Luckily sorted themselves out 2nd half.

Rewatching the highlights they really were two very poor goals. Granted one was AAATB gone wrong.

He of the face-plant fame.

Birchall played a lot of games for Trinidad and Tobago, including in a World Cup.

ETA: I see at least two people have already confirmed Birchall's international career.

Robbie Simpson did one of the greatest knee slides in history after scoring a goal for us.

In a nutshell…… 3 points but please get Eccles out of this team. Not up to it unfortunately .
