[Albion] Thank God for that

[Kalimantan Gull]

Its obvious we needed a wake-up call and we have got one at the earliest opportunity.

The entire build-up among all of us, fans, club alike, has been one of over-confidence bordering on complacency. The selection and performance today was absolute continuation of that.

A rude awakening - act on it and we can do what we are capable of.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I'll wait to see what CH says!

 

[TheJasperCo]

I wouldn't say we've been over-complacent. The team was just shite out there and I feel for the fans making the journey home from up north this evening.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

It takes time for new players to be introduced and bed in so things can only get better when they finally become integrated

 

[BrickTamland]

That performance, certainly the energy levels and commitment, stunk of second season syndrome.

Sometimes in life you should take a risk... our team is incredibly predictable at times.

 

[silky1]

Yes. Hopefully a real wake up!

Very very poor indeed

The problem away from home is Gross and Murray are to slow to press and harass. It all becomes predictable like you say. When we do break Murray is simply smothered by about 4 defenders.
Would like to see Propper break forward more when we are on the attack.

Well I rather hope it was complacency. Otherwise it will be a long old season

I'd rather points on the board than a wake-up call.

Speak for yourself.

It was one game! One poor game, but just one, away, where we collected 3 away points all last season.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Speak for yourself.

I'm definitely not. I've been slightly concerned for a while. hardly anyone has thought we'd do anything other than comfortable mid-table this season if this board is anything to go by

Hopefully Bissouma, Andone and Izquierdo will solve that issue.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

At least the subs looked good and might now get more of a chance.

 

[martin tyler]

Not enough pace in the line up leading to us being pressed to high.
Bissouma and his energy was a plus when he was on.

Run that past me again


We won at Swansea and West Ham for a start. That is 6 points already

Only at our club, others appear to be able to do it straight away.

It was the first game of the season, after a positive end to last year and a good off-season, where apparently everyone was f'itter than ever and ready to press all game'. That performance was symptomatic of something. Hopefully we'll not see the like of that again.

Not really - I'm not expecting us to line up anything like that when everybody is settled in and ready
