But it wasn't entertaining. Too much sideways sideways back stuff and I think an awful lot of people around me are getting fed up with it. If Lazarus Sharp had scored that sitter it would have been meltdown.

But if the cross that were flying across the goal actually found a man we would have won four or five. All ifs and buts. We won, we attacked, we had pace on the wings

Doncaster were one of the worst teams to play here this season. We made hard work of beating a very poor team . It should have been the day we tried a Plan B 442! The win definitely did mask a few cracks , the performance was dire. Anyone know if there is list of players left out of premiership 25 squads?

I expect to be entertained when I pay goo money to attend every week.

Why?

So because you don't find it entertaining, we should change it? What if we change it to something that someone else doesn't find entertaining? Do we then have to change it again and repeat until we find something the entire crowd finds entertaining?

Get over yourself - winning is what matters, entertainment is a secondary concern.

All about opinions I guess but compared to some of the dull games I have seen this season today was a breath of fresh air. I was entertained from start to finish and even if we has lost would have been far happier losing like that than going down without a fight (as has happened in other games)

not touching a nerve at all, what relevance does it have as to how long people have been going to games. I don't need to have a "I have been since 1975" badge to give my opinion - Why do I need to justify how long i have been to games.

I expect to be entertained when I pay goo money to attend every week. aying like this type of style is in my opinion far from entertaining.

It has nothing to do with how long you have been going. I just pointed out we got promoted one year with I think 10 1 nil wins. For me if we win the remaining games 1 nil I would be very happy wouldn't you?

You're happy to pay north of 450 quid a season to watch that every week??
I'm sorry there a lot of people that aren't and won't renew if that is what's on offer.
Waits for the standard NSC line of "we can do without fans like that"
Sorry we can't. Didn't we post £15m losses? We need bums on seats and boring football will not get them I'm afraid.

yes i would, as long it was midly entertaining... The style of football is so dull... Their keeper had very little to do all game... Hardly battered at the door all game and were kept out by a barrage of top saves

There has to be a combination of playing well and winning.... Sometimes you play well and lose sometimes you grind games out - Apart from leicester at home this year, there havenn been many games where its been good to watch...

The results will only cover up the obvious flaws of games like this

another 0-0 orloss and this site goes meltdown (like barnsley) Yet We win and everyone says how well we played???- don't be so short sighted

We'll if you me and untold others know this why doesn't it change??

I really think it did change today.
Last game we played Orlandi and Lopez on the wings - no pace and no support to Ulloa.
Today we had Rodriguez and March - far more attacking, far quicker and for me a real positive change.

If you don't renew that's ur choice, but isn't it about supporting the team through thick and thin? Currently it's a pretty good time to be an Albion fan considering the recent history? That's what I don't really understand about these threads and your post?

We miss Croft, the amount of times we put the ball across the box, behind Ulloa, with no one coming in late

Although we've won the last 3 so obviously not that easy!

This is heaven compared to some of the football we've had in the last forty years

Who said I wasn't renewing??
Just playing devils advocate. If a lot of people go to football to be entertained playing like we have done recently will not make them renew. Time to face facts. Not every season ticket holder is a die hard fan there are a lot that will think twice about renewing if what is on offer isn't that attractive.

I don't think I am being short sighted. We win and you appear to be in melt down? The entire club is in a transitional phase on and off the field. We are never going to win every game playing champagne football. We have a team that is competitive at the top end of the championship and premier league facilities, what is it exactly that you want?
