Really?

It was a great finish after he waltzed past Sheaf, Thomas and Lati.

If in doubt....

How do the Baggies players understand Corberan, his voice is awful, so throaty and a really heavy accent.

Didn't take long for Manure to get rid of Ainsworth after his recruitment was deemed to be poor.

That is why we’re where we are. But many times we got into good positions just lacked quality to convert them.

that was more a case he doesn't really do recruitment, he was more of a manager of staff

there's a good piece in the athletic about that

But if we keep conceding 2,then we have to be converting 3 to win games. It's not realistic.

It wasn't Asante or a midfielder though, we tried to do both but the midfielders either said no or like the one from Liverpool got a nasty injiry.

I agree. Much depends on getting improvements at the back.

Can’t put any blame on Collins 2nd goal If Bassette does that it’s a brilliant goal, problem was he shouldn’t have got the chance, we looked solid on Saturday and we bring Eccles in and drop simms, Bassette does better off the bench, don’t change a winning side, that was robins problem

Tye xG stats are interesting, WBA 0.47, CCFC 2.24.

That is their lowest xG throughout their run of draws and our xG was the highest for opponents during that run. And yet we lost

We were unlucky.

Sick of reading it after constantly shipping multiple goals and losing.

the players look like they know what they are meant to be doing for once, the execution needs working on but if you really think that then crack on.

WBA got lucky. Massive deflection and a lapse in concentration. And we couldn’t hit a barn door …. But time and a decent Jan window will help.

Eccles needs to start at RB to give MVE a rest.

We need to try Kitching - his physicality at least will help and I like the way he drives forward on the ball.

No idea about GK. Or CF!

This was not like Burnley which was ponderous shite.

Why do we have to go wide every time …
We can’t shoot in front of goal
Eccles and Sheaf doesn’t work
We look easy to play against
We don’t run at players
Passing needs improvement
Confidence needs some serious work
Frank has a lot of work to do as he’s inherited some real issues there

Positives
We can play as proved it on Saturday
Hadji Wright to come back
Bassett is raw and can develop
Torp only midfielder with vision and gets in goal scoring chances need to build around him
King will get his wallet out in January

It's not bollocks.

He did the hard part, he got there and then his chocolate wrists did their usual trick.

0.24 post shot expected goals on that shot.

We've had superior xG in most games this season under Robins and since then, it doesn't represent a change because we still don't take chances and still gift two goals away

No steel, no aggression, no nastiness, no real drive. No wonder Kitching can’t get a look in, he’s probably too fucking prone to intimidating the opposition or being a bit competitive.

Maybe it's only ever against us, but I feel WBA are one of those teams who have it in their DNA to be utter wank and win games.

If they had our chances and we had theirs, WBA would probably have scored four tonight.

Should have scored 4 and could have quite easily
Some shocking misses
