Too late by that point.

Teams know if they go 1-0 up, they've won.

Wright is proving a bargain every time he misses a chance his value goes up a million.

No read the thread so gonna just post my thoughts and then see how they align for a laugh.

Scoreline aside I think we've played really well, the energy of Allen and Sake is spot on, Wright looks dangerous, MvE as well. Eccles having a decent game.

Sheaf and Wilson to blame for the goal.

Saka will never get a decision
Ref very lax on their time wasting
Should be 0-0
We are nowhere near good enough to give teams a cheap goal
So very very frustrating
Wilson bloody hell
Shouldn’t be losing but if you can’t score and give goals away that’s what will happen and continue to happen

Should be 0-0? How?

I like Kitching for defending Sakamoto. We need more like that.

It’s easy to ‘look good’ when the opposition are happy to sit on their 1-0 lead and aren’t bothered about having the ball. We are completely toothless and so easy to defend against. Wright has been hopeless as a lone striker and the wing backs have offered very little offensively. Sakamoto and Allen playing well but are just getting crowded out by the Baggies defence. Sheaf has been awful.

Goal aside (and slow start), think we've played pretty well first half. Much better than midweek. Box feels the right formation. Sakamoto, Eccles and Van Ewijk all played really well. Haji Wright has made a few good runs and been unlucky with a couple of tight offside decisions. There's life in the team yet.

It’s not shite at all we need a fucking striker that doesn’t hide half the game and when he does get it , doesn’t have a clue.

Amateur goalkeeping. Very unconfident striker. Apart from that we look quite sharp. Allen and Sakamota looking busy and linking well. Van Ewijk and Da Silva better than recent. Eccles has stepped up.
Unfortunately I think WBA will not be as bad second half.

Not sure you can accuse Van Ewijk of offering little offensively.

Frustrating half especially the way we conceded. MVE is such a speedy player if he had a sense of direction and could cross we’d be lethal.

Been defending Haji for a while now but for the money we’ve paid, should be getting a tonne more from him. Where’s the version of him gone from the Leicester and Boro game. Guy looks like he’s never heard of the offside rule and he don’t need to be playing on the shoulder of the last man against most CBs in this league.

For all the speed MVE has, he seems to being missing a piece of skill to actually get past a player..

Definitely. Have been since Robins arrived. Even with Doyle, we were soft. He stood out like a sort thumb trying to get at the ref.

Refs not the best but we can’t blame him for this.

no direction, no structure, no connection between the squad

can hardly string 2 passes together

We've got 67% possession you loon, how have we managed that without stringing two passes together?

How many of his crosses have found a team mate?

He’s beaten his man, at best, three times all half.

Yet when he knocks it and goes he does him. Issue is we have one in the box and 5 of them

Played quite well. So frustrating that Wilson has let us down.

Think saka and Allen both been brilliant as the two amc. Sheaf poor. Eccles hit and miss. Wright's done fine but can imagine people will be on his back.

I hope robins keeps with box till 70th min before switching back to two upfront.

This is the formation for us I've always believed and still do despite current scoreline.

Thought we played ok, error for the goal is just one of those things.

Wright certainly gets in the right positions which is promising. He just needs to be a bit more positive. If he bags one it would do him a world of good.

Sheafs shooting has been a bit pointless, doesn't seem to be a logical end to our new more patient build up.

Tatsu is a busy fucker and I love it

We just look low on confidence across the team.

I would rather we left the ball at the corner flag for the rest of the game than Eccles taking them anymore!
