[Albion] Pick one thing to blame

[junior]

If you had to pick one thing to blame for this shower of shit season, what would it be?

Dwarf between the sticks
Duffy to Celtic
Stephens to Burnley
3 at the back
Not singing 'that' striker
Solly March
Potterball (this final 3rd back to goalkeeper in 2 kicks nonsense)
Fan less stadiums

The inability to take chances, simple

This. Lots of people blaming the style but when we create bucket loads of chances but, more often than not, can’t score them, it shows you were the fault lies.

 

[The Wizard]

Attackers with no confidence.

I’d prefer Murray starting up front to pretty much any of our strikers right now, it’s that bad.

Is the correct answer.

 

[neilbard]

Potter.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Lack of creativity and urgency from the midfield and forwards.

Webster and March were the only ones driving forward in the last 5 minutes.

Poor performance, we need to be more ruthless and a nastier team

My first ever attempt at a poll went well.

Could a mod add 3 at the back please?

 

[Icy Gull]

The lack of quality players up top. It took an old hand to rescue a point. Sacking the manager is not the answer. Either spending what’s required on quality players or accepting a real chance of relegation are the alternatives.

I can live with it either way. Albion till I die, at least we are trying (and often failing at the moment) to play the right way

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Potter.

Please explain what Potter is doing wrong in your opinion.

What would you do differently?

 

[macbeth]

This thread is pointless, because it's obvious that there are multiple factors that mean we are where we are right now.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No leaders on the pitch. Too many cowards trying to hide behind doing that meaningless five yard pass to a team mate on the half way line, no real thoughts beyond getting the ball away from them. Need some backbone instilled into the side PDQ. Sadly the soppy sap currently randomly picking players out of the squad seems like the last person capable of doing so

 

[dazzer6666]

Strikers bereft of confidence and/or not good enough. Plenty of chances (again) to easily win that today, but lines fluffed where it matters. Rinse and repeat at the moment.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Is the correct answer.

Bizarre how the OP missed that! Perhaps they have an agenda?

Sadly not winning a couple of home games in 2020, constant tinkering with the side, he is clueless,

Oh and he's more boring than Hughton..

I would have played Welbeck from the start today, in a must win game, instead he plays the non scoring munchkins...

 

[junior]

I'd get Duffy back. If he was here i genuinely feel we would have conceded less and he'd have scored at least three from corners by now.

He's a leader.

He’s old, immobile and not the long term answer but all Muzza’s good things are still there: target man, foul winner and the best finisher at the club. Potter needs to do something different and we could really use some nouse up front.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Potter

 

[pasty]

Less than 1 in 4 shots on target

 

[Swansman]

With the possession and the fat number of chances and shots created this season, its very difficult getting around that this team is in need of a strong, quality striker or a dangerous winger. No other team is even close to having this poor shots-to-goal ratio from all of their strikers. Maup has been disappointing, Welbeck is decent but not much more and Connolly is very promising but should optimally not start as often as he does. The club needs another striker to take the next step, its pretty basic stuff.
