Fair enough, I wasn't. But I don't think there's anything negative about going away to a team above you and a promotion rival who've won 6 on the trot and setting the team up to not lose rather than to win. Virtually every manager in the country would have done the same thing, except Holloway, and look what's happened to him the last couple of weeks.

[Albion] Is Poyet to blame for today?

IF it was like that, I would not have an issue. Did the players send off Orlandi and call on Dunk? I have not seen a team sit so deep, they only had Orlandi beyond the edge of the Penalty Area for christ sake!

Teams get pushed back happens all the time and if you havent seen it then you cant have watched much football at the grounds of other games) to be honest..it will happen no matter what poyet says to them...so i think you are blaming the wrong man..yet again! safe journey home

The whole point is that we looked a VERY good team going forward, but fragile in defense. So why try to sit deep and soak up pressure instead on imposing ourselves on them. We did exactly the same last year. I can remember going there when we were shit, and knicking a win, we are no longer that team. We have quality enough to compete.

Were you there? This was just so extreme that you would bot believe it. We would not even come out into midfield when Ulloa had the ball and was looking for support. It was pathetic.

Not really fair is that? I was on here quick enough after the Palarse win and big enough to admit I was wrong in thinking we would lose.

PP...when we win you kinda post about 10% of the number when we lose...some of us are on here come rain or shine same number of posts....but like i said earlier well done on going...anyone who travels far to see a game gets a mark up in my book....just my opinion like.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with sitting back. It should make you much more solid, even if you have to deal with more attacks. The problem is that the space just outside the area near the arc is where the Albion team are often very weak and opposing players have a bit more time and space than they should be allowed.

Sorry, my point was that you did not see how extreme it was, I was not suggesting you are a bad fan!
Well you couldn't exactly argue any other way, could you!?

No but there were a lot of "moaners" who did not come on here. I just want my team to do well, and if they win when I don't expect it, there is nobody more pleased.
Yep, good post. The goalkeeping error was not the fault of Gus and then would not have had this thread.

We went to a team above us who were on an 8 game winning streak,got battered and scored 2 against the run of play.
Yes blame Gus for getting us a point against all expectations.
