Expected a defeat but not to a rubbish, preventable goal like that

Yea I was also trying to work out the plan of attack. It looked so varied and incosist and broke down before the final 3rd more often than not.

The (wanker) sorry ref, definitely had a w.b.a shirt on.

You can see ( the dirty bastards) sorry w.b.a game plan, lose the ball foul your man. They should have got more than 1 red card.

Was sat on bench for Charlton

Is the ref?

Also, what’s the point in bringing in all this height with our recruitment if not one player can beat the first man with a set piece? We’ve been so bad at them for so long it’s infuriating.

Didn't look like a penalty from were i saw it, not much contact.

Or 4 cheap loans...

By then we will be in league 1 and still getting played off the pitch

The way are attack went today, it might be who scores for Bradford.

Dont think people can cling to the "if we got that penalty"... If Albion hadn't missed two absolutely stinking sitters it would have been 3-1 even if we scored the penalty.. if we had got it. All the what-ifs aside, we were second best. 1 shot on target in 99 minutes

I didn't notice, but why does that even matter if Alebiosu was blatantly fouled before that though? Plus the guy scored so they would hardly have given a penalty.

Honestly there wasn’t a good scoring opportunity the entire game. The penalty would have been an unexpected benefit as it was just work rate. As you say Ohashi’s one chance was a half chance at best. The rest we couldn’t muster anything that looked remotely threatening. No crosses, no free kicks, nothing from long range, nothing in behind, no combinations around their box…literally nothing close to creating a chance.

I thought Hedges and Dolan were a poor pairing at this level but Hedges and De Neve look like taking it to new heights. We could have played til Christmas 2026 and not scored.

In terms of the new signing, I thought: - The two new RBs looked very good - McLaughlin had a very composed debut and looked good - De Neve looks to have nothing to his game and a pointless signing - Henriksson was anonymous. Only the WBA GK touched the ball less according to Sky. He was thrown in at the deep end though and think he'll turn out to be a good signing - Tavares had a brief cameo but looks far more mobile than Trav or Tronstand Desperately need a striker and RW.

We are above Derby.

1 shot on target says it all... Venkys out!

It's a conspiracy- refs hate us, sky hate us, press hates us -every game...

It will be better with Cantwell in for Axel. Need a serious upgrade on hedges. The fact Miller has to tell him (a 30 year old man)where to go and when to go speaks volumes. Kargbo was a handful and has to start, though he is a bit undisciplined defending. Deal next week could be an absolute thrashing.

For the majority of our signings it's a big step up from where they were playing. It's why there's no point rushing to praise Gestede for simply getting bodies in. Most of them are cheap gambles we seemed to have little to no competition for. They may do the business for us, but until they do it's fair to be very worried.

I'm never glad that we lose, even if we had scored an equaliser it was evident for all to see what absolute toss that performance was

I think he set the team up to try and contain West Brom at least until the hour mark. As it is they conceded a dodgy scrappy goal and didn't get a clear cut penalty their way. That was the major difference in the game really. The big concern for me is that even the 1 shot on target was more of a half chance. If that had gone in then it would've been extremely soft from a West Brom point of view. The fact that they didn't muster anything clear cut in the 2nd half is extremely alarming.

Positives, I thought Alebiosu & Miller looked useful, that should be the right hand side instead of Ryan fucking Hedges. Miller has some throw on him. The imbalance when Kargbo came on was stunning. A left winger committing players and making things happen to the right hand side where Hedges literally offer jack shit. Kargbo's delivery wasn't great but he was in the game at least, making things happen. Negatives: I thought Trav & Tronstad were absolutely crap. Didn't control the game enough. If that's the level of performance we're to expect of Travis in his final year then get rid ASAP. Henriksson was well off it. It's early days for him of course so not going to be too harsh. Centre forwards didn't do enough. Other than that, fairly scrappy game I'm not sure either team deserved to win.

McLoughlin, that back post chance apart, pleasantly surprised me. Alebiosu looks promising Kargbo terrified the Baggies until he had to distribute the ball. Miller a promising cameo and what a throw in. Everything else, oh dear. The ref- abysmal
