Let’s not forget that the starting attacking lineup last night was basically Wright, Sakamoto and Allen.
It’s not gonna scare anyone to death is it?

On that subject - If we’re still playing like this in January I’m giving that game against Leicester a massive wide berth, I don’t think I can stomach sitting through them cut us to ribbons, score 4/5 and take the piss in our own ground

Judging by the fact corporate is nearly sold out already for that game as well my hunch is a load of Leicester fans have been buying in there

We’ve made a rod for our own backs with the “Callum Doyle, it could’ve been you” on the opening day, that will get a few airings to a sparse home end as they put in their fourth

Doubt he’ll be fit if his injury was as bad as I read it was?

I believe a Hamer understudy should have been brought in twelve months ago with an eye to the future. Not providing cover for one of the most influential and integral members of a team is very short sighted.

I mean I can accept there was no money then. It should have definitely been on the list for this summer.

To those that think we are in danger of relegation, we are 20/1 on Sky Bet (and they have 11 teams more likely to be relegated than us) - that must be the bet of the century surely if we're that bad?

Looking at the bottom three no chance we’re going to be worse than Wednesday or Rotherham (yes, I know we lost to them) over a season.

QPR are the ones I admit could improve now they’ve changed manager

What can be said that hasn't already been said? As soon as West Brom scored I said to my dad sitting next to me we won't break these down. Plenty of posession and no creativity. We just looked so static and when they brought Asante on in the second half I thought I should put a tenner on him scoring as the defence won't be able to cope with his directness and running and lo and behold he goes and scores. Luckily for us the 3 teams at the bottom look terrible, although having said that one of them did a job on us recently.

I think teams are happy to concede possession of the ball and sit in their shape as we often struggle to break teams down as we simply aren't good enough and lack the quality. We look a far better team when we counter attack and I think other teams have figured us out now. The 3 games we have won this season we have had less possession than our opposition and as low as 34% against Blackburn at home.

The scary thing is, this isn’t a good WBA side and they haven’t played particularly well or done anything exceptional, just disciplined and took chances.

Hard to judge the WBA game we might have a number of new additions in the team so no idea the team, Albion always tough and dangerous opposition.

I’m not being funny but we’re not playing WBA again until March so why would be discussing the match?
