[Albion] We are not good enough…..

I was about to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assumed he's a youngster, maybe even under 18, but then I saw they joined NSC in 2007.

Some people will NEVER be happy with what we're doing, and it's so bizarre considering where we've come from. I want it explained to me, because I don't understand. At all.

It doesn’t matter what league we play in discussing what happens on the pitch has always happened amongst supporters, good or bad.
Are you saying because we were shit for years we now have to put up and shut up?

There are holes in Fabian’s tactics and the last three games have all gone the same way which is worrying.
Looking at the next few fixtures it’s hard to see where the points will come from after watching the last few games.

Am I aloud to say that or do we have to back slap the club at every opportunity now

I think the only observation of the team I have at the moment is that we're giving the
ball away a lot and that seems to come from passing it around and not controlling/trapping
the ball which creates 50/50s. That's very frustrating to watch - but easily fixed.

You are ALLOWED to TYPE that. Now that's out the way....... I'm not that concerned, yet.

Ipswich - virtually the entire team were away (and Pedro came back injured), in the most case in different continents, whereas the oppo were fresh. We never looked like losing that game.
Wolves - a completely different back 5. Players who hardly play anymore (Webster, Igor) and some that are probably not quite good enough (Moder) and some that are returning from longish term injury (Fergie, Pervis, Ensico) all expected to immediately gel, dominate and beat an EPL side? Actually barring a couple of defensive cock ups they did.
Forest - I'll give you this one, a little bit, however we dominated for large periods, against a team which had just beaten Liverpool at Anfield (albeit see my point about international breaks above). How many saves did Bart have to make? It was Pervis's 2nd start in 6 months, it was Rutter's 2nd start EVER for us, still no Pedro. We SHOULD have won it, but didn't.

In summary we don't have a settled team yet. Ask me again around the end of November.

I don't see tactics having a massive negative impact in any of those games. If you're listening to that grunt Shearer then don't, he won't have a f***ing clue about FB or our tactics, he'll have watched 10 mins of highlights and been briefed by some big 6 supporting 'researcher'. Had we played Saturday we'd have had about 30 seconds of 'punditry' on our game.

You can blame the ref all you like.
It’s a penalty- end off.

If you play like that you need to score 3 or 4 goals to win games.

But we are not good enough to take the chances.

2 points from Ipswich and forest when you presume the aim is top 6 is not good enough.

Yipee we still unbeaten.
33 more draws sees us relegated.

Chelsea will tear us apart next week.
But let’s not look within, it’s the refs fault.I

I didn’t watch MOTD I watched the game you could see from early doors what Forest were up to and we fell for it.
Nuno had done his homework on our last few games. I was disappointed our coach didn’t react as after all that is what he gets paid for.
Anyhow good to discuss a game with supporters without the usual oh my god did you not watch us 30 years ago what more do you want which some on here are guilty of.
