Nasty feeling...

[Bold Seagull]

When I looked at the table just now, despite our weaker squad, draws, and tight winning matches we had more points than Derby after 21 games, were joint top of the table and have a home game against Boro on Saturday to go three points clear (potentially 5 points clear of Derby) at Christmas.
Where did it all go wrong ?

There is a logic in saying a side can win comfortably even if they lose. It's going to take me some time to work it out though.....

We've had a lot of injuries, some aren't that far away from returning though by all accounts. I'm sure Bloom will take the gamble in January as well.

After 'Boro the matches start looking a little easier too.

It's not all bad news.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there are NO easy games in this league

We are not good enough at holding onto a lead. Maybe it's the tactic of going defensive with one up top that invites pressure?

We know that you are a glass half full whilst I am a half empty...

Yep. True but to put it another way only 1 (Boro) out of the 24 Champ clubs have held onto more leads than Albion this season and gone onto win the match.

No there isn't but we seem to have done alright so far, no reason to think that has changed after two away draws to two of the best teams in the league.

Middlesbrough still need to visit QPR

Just need to make sure the poster who started the woeful effort of a matchday thread against Walsall stays well away for the Brentford game !

I was sure there was another one. Maybe it was so woeful it got removed.

He's welcome to start the HULL FA Cup game match thread, however.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

bloody hell. What a load of bedwetters. I'd have taken draws against Derby and QPR when the fixtures came out. It's not just us dropping two points...they drop two as well.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

The clubs lack of ambition in the transfer window is now starting to bite.
The sooner we get to 50 points the better.
