Honestly? I don't know. I have had to defend some negative comments during our undefeated streak. I haven't enjoyed the football for most of the season, I've been seeing a team that hasn't dominated games enough, a team that was struggling to score when they did dominate, and a team that was fragile at the back, but also a team that were facing opposition on the right day. I've mentioned before how I've often walked away from games thinking 'if our opponents were on form, we'd have lost that', I've also mentioned how worryingly frequent someone has uttered "winning when you're playing badly..." (even before all the injuries piled up). But of course, we were top, we were undefeated. So I was just a negative "fan" who was only happy if I moaned.
Maybe I was. Maybe we were much better than I gave us credit for, and if that is the case, I don't see why we can't regain form. It is a cliche, but every team does have a bad patch or two over a season. We were always going to have one, and maybe we will regain form and climb back up the table.
Or maybe I was seeing the real albion, and now our opponents are picking up a bit, or getting the rub of the green, and we're going to see the true Albion fall to their actual deserved spot in the league.
The post of mine you quote was me being a little mischievous/facetious. It bugs me a little when people try to shut down genuine complaints about a specific match, or a poor run, with claims that we'd have been happy with the position we are in at the start of the season (ignoring that it means nothing, it's where we finish).
