I smell palarse
I'm looking forward to when we hit the "playing shit but grinding out the wins" phase.
Anyone know when it's scheduled?

Frustrating or disappointing. Not sure which is the best choice of word.
Positives:
Alzate had a fine debut.
Good to see Bissouma back on the pitch.
Negatives:
We cannot score.
I'm not convinced we can defend that well either.
Controversial opinion:
In light of my feeling that we're not that good defensively, I'd drop Burn for Duffy. I get what he brings in an attacking sense but we don't score with him on the pitch and I'm really not convinced he's a premier league level defender. Duffy is. Not as good on the ball but both Webster and Dunk are and Duffy isn't that bad. He is a bloody good defender though.
Overall my mojo is beginning to drop.

Got to be disappointed after not capitalising on such a dominant performance especially first half.
Shame.
Shame.

I see all the dickheads are on here tonight. I think I'll log off for a bit.

Excepting that the dire home performance was as much down to our line up and approach.
Newcastle were dire because Potter outsmarted Bruce. Albion didn't win because they didn't make the most of their chances and the goal line was a little thick.
Alzate at wing back ? Madness.
Alzate at wing back ? Player of the match.

This.
Potter is giving belief to all the players and kept a lot on their toes, but the players coming in are doing the job, although I thought Bissouma was pushed off a bit to easy at times, I do rate him though.
We have enough to consolidate this year and hold this squad together with another striker next year could be amazing!

What has that got to do with it, he’s like an amateur Rowan Ince.
That's the problem. It's only been the first match against a side that was an 8-0 loser today.
EDIT: And Andone was part of it.

Very happy with that. On top throughout away from home, the only progressive team, a vital point and a clean sheet.
Propper, Maupay, Dunk, Ryan and Stephens were all quality.
PL game time given to some youngsters, who were not embarrassed.

To be honest I was rather hoping that we had sorted out that final 3rd bit, we were clinical against Watford first game and I was like a dog with 2 cocks.
But all is not lost all the time we are going forward with pace and creating chances but we need to get it sorted out quickly.
I think the players and manager will be a bit down tonight and see it as 2 points dropped.

Totally agree. If Burn had, say, 2 assists, fair enough. But he hasn't. Yes he has a good touch for a big man, but it isn't about that, we have THREE defenders and they need to defend. Might seem folly as we haven't lost but i'd play Duffy, Dunk, and the excellent Webster from now on, build from the back and put less pressure on our midfield to defend.

Stupid IDIOT
Disappointing result from a decent performance
In my honest opinion, we're playing great and once we start fully clicking I think the wins will come. The only slightly unfortunate thing (and it isn't Potter's fault) is that we only currently have one striker who can start each match - Maupay. Murray is falling more and more into the background. Hopefully Connolly will prove himself in that position because we need competition in the attacking areas, as the only thing missing from our play is goals!
