Two bad teams but we've definitely been worse. We look like we've never seen a set of goalposts 2 Quote
bluebruce Posted August 9 Posted August 9 4 minutes ago, DE. said: Most frustrating thing is that WBA don't even look very good. Bang average. We're just worse. Not many teams tend to look good in the first game of the season. Full match sharpness is rarely there yet. I don't think we have been worse (caveat - I did miss the first 30 minutes). Looks like an even game, we just haven't had penetration. Neither have WBA really, they've mostly just launched it from distance while I've been watching. Their goal should have been disallowed (I do get how the ref missed it though) and we should have had a penalty, so could have been 1 nil to us at half time. The Championship referee lottery will continue this year. Quote
Bohinen1983 Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Ref reluctantly blows when our lad goes down with a head injury, absolute prick! 1 Quote

BigHoz Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Blame the ref all we want, I’ve seen a team that’s offered nothing going forward and has looked very poor. 3 Quote

WacoRover Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Concede 15 min in, lose 1-0 on the road, hopefully, we can find a positive or two. Quote
RoversTilliDie Posted August 9 Posted August 9 You can see how w.b.a have won this one, foul your man when you lose the ball. 1 Quote

OldEwoodBlue Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Terrible side this. Not even one sniff of a decent attempt. Relegation fodder Dismantled by our owners. 7 Quote

Bethnal Posted August 9 Posted August 9 No urgency, idle threat throughout. Most look like they’re still in 2nd gear. Miller has early indications of a good signing, it other than that, this is a poor side we’ve got and will struggle. Quote
