I'm still not sure why it's his fault?

This started okay, but my god, did it all go downhill.

And that has to be one of the worst pieces of defending I have witnessed in some time for the second goal. Thomas and Lati, both shocking.. Thomas especially.

Sheaf was very poor and Rudoni was poor until the last 8-9 mins, when he suddenly decided to start playing.

EMC, non existent. BTA non-existent.

Poor finishing too. First from Torp and then from Sheaf, when he ballooned the header over the bar.

Sheaf now seems to be constantly putting in sub-par performances and he just doesn't look the same player.

It's a bit of a mess to be honest.

Well it’s fairly easily explained. We’ve got as much cutting edge as a blancmange up front and we defend like dog shit.

I can accept losing. But losing to opposition who’ve done absolutely fuck all to earn it, I struggle with.

Bassette is just the new Tavares. I’m just not seeing what you lot are.

That was rubbish. They were in second gear the whole match.

Handing the St Albans Director of Football £45m and his first ever recruitment gig maybe wasn’t the brightest idea.

The thing is WBA never got out of second gear, we were marginally better but still pretty poor.

It would be better to play an actual goalkeeper in there, rather than Brad Collins.

I'm not actually sure what he's supposed to be.

It drives me nuts that Doug king expects better from this squad. He should swallow his pride and accept he has spent terribly in every area.

Just showed me what might have been. We’re miles off the pace in a league where pretty average sides are up the top.

For me, for the second, Collins was poor but he wasn't the biggest problem, which in itself is a big problem

I find Sheaf's performances pretty concerning to be honest. It's getting to the point where it's probably better if he didn't start.

Our overall play wasn't bad against an organised team.

But we concede goals from very few chances given away and miss very good chances ourselves.

Team that do that end up in trouble.

Would like to say it's because it's another bogey ground but it's a theme throughout the season.

Exactly this. I done think West Brom created as many chances as we did. Yet we lose 2-0.

I agree, we weren't but I'm sure Lampard will be concerned at our soft underbelly and looking to fix it. Much more winnable games than this coming up.

Far too many. And I doubt that any of our players score Grant’s goal either.

Not sure that's how you look at football tbh .. the team have just lost their 1st game in 3 under lampard and we've really been quite unlucky

Some people will strangely get over upset by that, I'm not going to be one of them. Seen much worse performances from us at that ground.

We've played pretty well and were let down by an unlucky own goal and 1 bit of collective defensive shitness.

We have had chances, we are looking better than we have been for a while. The players have an idea of what they are meant to be doing now, we know we need a cb, a cm and a rb so MVE can rest sometimes. They'll come in January.

It's getting slowly better, play like this and take a chance or 2 and we can get a few points under our belts before we strengthen in January.

Onwards and upwards

He passes and stands still. It's infuriating. He's very lucky to have those assists because take those away and he's been poor

I genuinely don't see what he gives us, other than the occasional dangerous corner.

If we took our chances we'd have scored 2 or 3 really , I felt that west brom struggled with us second half in large spells

Nothing for the first but a half decent keeper saves the second. He's absolutely pathetic.
