[Football] The season’s turning point

[Weststander]

Awful WBA and Pardew, who couldn’t buy a win, played into form. Predictable really, after cocky posts.

Puts huge pressure on a stuttering Albion to some how get a load of wins in the remaining games.

Lets not overdo it. Loads of wins= 5 wins from 15 games. But yes it has been a depressing day and probably the worst so far this season.

Kayal should start instead of Propper who never controls midfield.

Knocky needs a rest as is rushed and tense.

Bruno, love him, is simply too slow.

We should have had a £30m striker on crazy wages ready for January 1st.

Todays performance shows we are looking down the barrel of a gun. This was a massive game and team selection and sleepyness has put us in a very bad position.

How have we gone from 8th and looking comfortable to relegation in fodder in such a short space of time. No striker of any consequence, sorry Murray is over the hill and Hemed words fail me.

A squad with very little Premier League experience and we are too predictable

Losing away isn’t the worst. Anyone thinking we were guarenteed to win today is either arrogant or stupid. A team that survives on scoring from set pieces against a team with a reputation of conceding from them.

Everton at home, Stoke at home. Both more infuriating and disappointing for me. Especially Everton actually.

But you’re right 5 or 6 more wins will do it. Not easy though.

But we don’t create anything for a 30m striker, needs a rethink on the way we setup

Hopefully the turning point will come before the end of January. We are on course (And always have been since not signing a forward in the summer) for relegation.

Too many home draws are going to bite us on the arse!

More likely 5 or 6 more points.

To be fair, failing to put away teams at home will be our downfall. But of course if anyone expresses that sort of opinion they are bedwetting according to some on here.

West Brom have not won a game since AUGUST!!! We haven’t looked anywhere near good enough against the worst team in the league up to today.

You're right, losing away isn't the worst.
But when we are making silly mistakes, which might cost us PL survival, something has to change.
All this fannying about in the last transfer window, could've cost us, but as the latest one is open, TB & PB have to make sure CH has the best opportunity to keep us up.
We've a fabulous stadium, training academy and support, which will always be there.
But all that has to stay in the PL.

 

[Weststander]

I can’t believe that after 34 years, TB will allow it all to be thrown away, by having a weak and slow squad.

Palace, West Ham etc aren’t ascending due to genius managers. It’s simply by investing heavily in quality players. Failure to do that in the PL is an almost sure fire route to the Championship.

 

[Hyperion]

Goldson, Hunemeier, Kayal, Baldock, & Hemed. Start all of them, there are too many players who are too comfortable getting an almost automatic pick. 4-4-1-1 against teams that we ‘could’ get points from isn’t good enough in my opinion

 

[Albion Dan]

We're shockingly bad away and don't win at home. With our run in we effectively need to be safe by end of March. Constant negative CH tactics and p;aying to draw has slowly infested the mentality of the whole team. We can never get enough points like that if we constantly concede corners. Why on earth was a striker not ready to come in at the start of the window? I'm afraid we are down ladies and gentlemen.

THIS. We had all our joy last season playing 442 and yet we've not played it once all season regardless of the opposition quality. We play with fear and set up for every game with a negative attitude. CH maybe just isnt good enough at this level. Wagner is getting far more from a worse team because they have a positive attitude and approach.

That's the first time I've seen the problem, CH is bloody terrific but please TB give him a little more ammo. WBA and Udddersfield away showed we are so short. TB, I've every faith in you but have the feeling that this is the pivotal season.... go outside your normal box.

 

[Surf's Up]

With the well documented shortcomings of our squad the very least we should be doing well is defending and attacking at set pieces. Alas our coaching staff appear to be clueless on both counts. Our attacking strategy seems to be to lump the ball into the mix and hope that Duffy somehow makes contact and our defensive tactic seems to be to hope that er........Duffy somehow makes contact.

Think the best win will be a long way o way
