Describing DaSilva as a “disaster” signing is a bit of a stretch. He’s made some high profile mistakes in recent games. Unsure as to whether Bidwell would have stopped that cross.

Well any good full back would have prevented the cross. It required pretty basic defending.

I’m going to eat some cereal and pretend that @Grendel has mentioned that Kasey Palmer was our best player that half

You lot have bi polar

mid table would be brilliant this season
Why aren’t we solidly in the top 6

We’ve lots of players out injured
We should have strengthened in January
Why aren’t we playing better and winning at West Brom

robins is the best manager we’ve had for decades
Why does he keep changing formation?

Accept we’re top 10
Without our top players on form we will not go away to a team like West Brom and win
Stop being so binary and bi polar

If anything, robins team selections are bi polar

It is the right financial decision not to gamble on this season. Fans won’t like it but it’s right.

When we're signing, for us, big money signings and bringing most players in on 4 or 5 year contracts how can people not see there's a long term plan?

We don't even have a full staff at the moment FFS, more roles with the first team advertised today

I get that it's frustrating and the last few games have been dire but some of the over reactions are crazy even by this forums standards

Just not enough spark (or spite) in the side at the moment. I know we can play beautiful football, but we need to start getting a foot in and rattling them a bit too. Tempo is also far too low, West Brom are cruising this...

It’s not the scoreline that bothers me. It’s the manner of the performance. The ease we let them score. It’s the lack of investment in players in January that’s forced us to revert back to a formation that no longer works for us.

Agree about the hysteria, however, there are notable WUMs stirring it up this evening.

It does. I always think it shows real character when a player plays well when the rest of the side doesn't.

Long and short of it.

Does seem to be the script when we play with a 3 at the back. The second goal should not happen with 3 CB in the box.

Yeah similar to the start of the season in this formation.

Reasonable on the ball, some good chances, but gifting silly goals away.

We concede a 3rd on 52 minutes and Robins changes it, the game ends 3-0 but we have a shot on target on the 81st minute

Are you pissed? He has not played his best left back, his £4 million centre half and his best goalkeeper by choice.

He has reverted to wing backs when they’ve failed this season. He left the most expensive signing on the bench.

Just nonsense

Simms is so isolated, it's obvious he needs balls in behind he can run on to. Don't think there has been a single one so far

A Maidstone player absolutely skinned Bidwell and got a good cross in. A fullback won’t stop every cross.

Christ O’Hare off. I know he’s been bad but we need him on if we are going to get anything.

Repeatedly shooting ourselves in the foot. Really good.

Two things I've liked recently 1) his new hairdo, 2) he actually wears long sleeve jerseys rather than just long undershirt
