[Albion] Has this been the most FRUSTRATING season of ALL TIME ??

[Easy 10]

Chelsea 1-3 - play well, lose to a stupid error, a worldy and a maHOOsive fluke deflection
Man Utd 2-3 - play well, hit the woodwork x5 (some kind of record), lose to a goal after the final whistle (some kind of record)
Palace 1-1 - play them off the park for the full 90, fall behind to one of the scabbiest pens you'll ever see, and end up chasing down 1 point that should have been 3
WBA 1-1 - play them off the park for 45 minutes but fail to put them away, then inexplicably STINK the place out second half and lucky to get a point
Spurs 1-2 - play well, loads of the ball. Get cheated by ANOTHER scabby pen that wasn't
Burnley 0-0 - play them off the park, 19 efforts on goal, same old story

Newcastle was great obvs. Everton is the only game I've felt we've really been deservedly well beaten. We are architects of our own downfall in most of these games, but are we also unlucky ? Or are we just SHIT ?

 

[GT49er]

So far, yes it probably has been.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Most frustrating season in the premier league. I found the mid nineties more frustrating seasons

 

[Deadly Danson]

Yes absolutely. I'm almost glad we aren't allowed at games. Most of my time watching the Albion, the football has been much worse and we've often been awful but this has been unbelievably frustrating (mostly because we look so good in the middle third of the pitch) and I'm not convinced anything is going to change anytime soon.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Up there definitely.

It’s also one of the most perplexing. I have no idea what to make of us as a team at the moment.

 

[Skaville]

Spot on Dave. Could have massive amounts of points on the board

 

[Eeyore]

I don't know what the problem is. They are set up well, they create far more opportunities than before. So I haven't a clue (like most who seem to think they do but change their mind on a whim).

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

It is frustrating. But reversal to the mean is coming. Can't keep making this many chances and not start scoring. Will happen

 

[El Turi]

It just feels like we’re cursed as we’ve playing well in pretty much every match this season yet only won once. Especially when awful teams like Newcastle and Palace seem able to pick up points despite having one or two attacks a match.

This is summed up by the fact that only Liverpool have had more shots than us this season and only Man City have faced fewer shots.

 

[Winker]

At the start of the season we would have had two penalties tonight, both for crosses/shots blocked by defenders arms.

How many deflected shots have we conceded from? (Admittedly these have stopped since Dunk was suspended)

 

[BN41Albion]

For me this season has the most frustrating that I remember because its been a continuation of last season and very similar to so many games then. I think it feels so frustrating (rather than, say, the feeling of despair/ hopelessness when we're just shit) because it still feels like we're on the cusp of being a really decent side, but for me it's feeling increasingly less likely that it's actually ever going to happen and we'll just drop back out of the Prem with a whimper in the end.

I've still got hope, and certainly not GP Out by any means yet, but that's my two cents worth

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

On a scale of Vicente to Solly March, this is a Solly March point 5 season so far.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I also can’t shake the feeling that the last second goal conceded against Man U was a turning point which we haven’t recovered from. I know it’s ridiculous to have a turning point at that stage of a season but to me it’s still lingering.

 

[Mackenzie]

I think we’re pretty close to getting it right, I’m sure we’ll get there.

 

[portlock seagull]

4 seasons hanging on. Pretty boring now if honest. Especially when it’s so predictable we’ll lose in certain fixtures, that there’s zero chance of us pulling off a shock. Like the 20 top six away games where we’ve won once, lost 19 so far. And hardly scored in any either.

 

[BrianWade4]

Yes it is.

All the possession
Better football
Lots of shots
VAR terrible
Terrible penalty decisions

It’s tedious and frustrating

Agree
Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea in particular you just know it’ll be so hard to get a win but Villa, Palace, Stains etc manage it

 

[BrianWade4]

I think we’re pretty close to getting it right, I’m sure we’ll get there.

Hope you’re right

I’m keeping the faith but through gritted teeth

 

[Market Porter]

CAPITALS...everything but goal scoring has happened in CAPITALS.









FFS

That’s the spirit, we’ll be alright.
