No the blame is easy. Who bought Virgo? Adams. Who dismantled th effective passing team of Wilkins for the ineffective hoofing team ? Adams. Then, who has p!ssed £1Million up the wall and failed to buy a half decent defender? Slade. There you go, easy really. P45s for Virgo, Elphick, El Abd, Smith and we also need a decent central midfielder.

Well put SB and probably how i should have put it, but i hate getting a beating especially as we were going in the right direction, this was all so unnecessary, but i believe like you, Gus given time will coach this team to perform more consistently and he may have to bin a couple and add one or two to do it.

Surly Virgo must take some of the blame. I mean, FFS, just sitting on the bench watching us conceed 7 goals against Leeds & Norwich must be a sackable crime.
Remind me again why Sullivan departed? Could we blame him too?

Maybe Gus has learned a lot more about the Albion from watching us play Leeds and Norwich than he did at Southampton.
No bad thing, imo.

Yep!
We realy are just poor.
I think everone has just got used to watching crap.
Our squad is piss poor, we have a very young defence married with Virgo who is a busted flush and Wing who is VERY average. The Midfield is week, Cox does not track back and costs us goals, Crofts and Dicker are average only Bennett is anything like quality. I wont even go into the others.
Up front Fozzie is a legend but his time is nealy up, Murray has the odd blinder but normally looks slow and clumsy and gives the ball away. Dickinson & Davies no comment.
Smith in goal in pony.
In short we are crap and need some major investment & half of them need shipping out ASAP.
Gus will do it given the money to bring in the right players.

Many of them may be on the way out a little sooner.

Well yes, fine, no one is really arguing with that, but 3-0 and 4-1? Where was the backs to the wall gritty defending, rearguard action, mounting a comeback, type of stuff? I don't care if we lose to two of the best sides if we have some fight. This is pathetic though. From my high horse in the far east (sorry
) I say that those are the kinds of performances that get managers the sack. Surprising that those two performances come at the start of a new manager's reign, on the back of two very promising victories.So I blame the players, as it has always been. To narrow it down, not Smith or Elphick or Cox, but the senior players who should be pulling everyone together and sorting out the upstarts. I blame Forster, Kuipers, Whing, Hart, Virgo, El-Abd for not getting the rest of the team 'gelling'
and playing with passion.

The players are to blame.

Totally agree. The problems that have existed under two previous managers still remain. Smith, Elphick and Whing are nowhere near good enough. If he does not sort it, they will end up getting him the sack.
If that's true, what does it say about Albion supporters who have voted two players "nowhere near good enough" for this division as Players of the Year? And what does that say about the rest of the squad?
On the contrary it raises a good point. People on here are always looking to blame someone (currently it's Smith and the defence) but it just isn't that simple. The fact is everyone's a bit to blame: the people who sacked Wilkins (or if you didn't like Wilkins then the people who employed him), Adams for taking us backwards, Slade for getting rid of Sullivan and not being Arsene Wenger, the list can go on. Basically a lot of decisions have been taken over the last few years by a lot of people who all thought they were doing the right thing and all thought they were helping to take the club forward - the fact they got a lot of them WRONG has resulted in our current predicament.
Also it could be argued that some fans haven't exactly helped but I think it's unfair to blame the supporters who are all a bit bi-polar by nature.

Personally I think our home form has never been the same since ROCKETMAN was banned on health and safety grounds. So I blame THE SYSTEM.

I remember Newcastle's problems all started when they unfairly sacked Bobby Robson, I think recent albion problems have started since they unfairly sacked Wilkins. The only difference is that the stupid Newcastle fans wanted Robson out (I remember being outraged at the time). Perhaps the saying, "What goes around, comes around" is true.
