MATCHWATCH : West Bromwich Albion (a)

1-0 flattered us. Knew we'd lose to the odd goal

[Hound]

The minute I saw the team, knew there'd only be one winner. Thats got to be one the weakest teams we've fielded in years? Three teenagers, Liam Moore, a bench made up of kids and players barely returned from injury

I've never really felt we'd be in trouble but if we can't sort out the fitness side of it we will be. 4 more injuries in a week? And wtf is going on with Rino, McIntyre etc.

Moore is the only one who ever seems to come back before he is due, and I wonder if that is partly the reason for some poor performances this year

1-0 is probably damage limitation there and at least the GD hasn't suffered.

Not a bad performance given the ludicrous amount of injuries. As for Brom, utterly mediocre.

Seriously worrying now. Every time you think the injury situation is improving more players get injured
I have never known anything like this in nearly fifty years supporting the club.
We could be bottom three soon.

[Lower West]

As for Brom, utterly mediocre.

More depth in the their squad. Perhaps we over rate our players.

[Royal_jimmy]

Whilst it's not great at least Bournemouth lost

This above sums it up exactly. Me too......50+ years...never known SO MANY players unavailable !!!!

[Ascotexgunner]

Stats say currently 24 shots and 10 on target for WBA. 3 shots off target for Reading.

On the bright side B’mouth 0-2 Blackburn

Only plus point I can think of. Bournmouth looking very nervous. Fantastic.

I know they had some out but doubt it was as many as eleven

They had twelve fit senior players. Two of them were goalkeepers.

That said, by a similar standard I think we had thirteen fit players, two of whom were goalkeepers, and we had to use two academy lads in the starting eleven.

Blimey they were just as badly hit then. Hmmmm no excuses for our lot then.

[Royal_jimmy]

Today we were beaten by a beaten down team but losing to West Brom at this level is no disgrace. Let's get players back and smash Luton next week

[tidus_mi2]

Also wish I hadn't read the West Brom forum, calling us the worst team they've seen, how they did so well despite the players out.

So to any West Brom fans lurking

1) We were shit granted
2) We also have a shit tonne of players out.
3) Our midfield was a complete trainwreck after losing Swift and Drinkwater to injury.
4) Two teenagers who have barely played in the starting XI
5) Regardless if we stay up and you beat Bournemouth to 2nd place I'll be glad we last today, oxf*rd Bournemouth.

. Let's get players back

Are you new here?

Paunospeak. Swift has a small tear and may be back for Luton

Reality. Swift won’t be seen this side of the New Year.

[URZZZZ]

Moore is the only one who ever seems to come back before he is due, and I wonder if that is partly the reason for some poor performances this year

It’s probably more testament to the fact our manager doesn’t have a clue (as per the last 12 months too)

Another game with just 4 shots and 0 shots on target, but it’s OK because we have injuries

Didn`t he say Rino was only a week away 2 months ago?

Carroll in the team. Same old tactics persist. No more to be said. Selling Puscas in January isn't going to strengthen the squad.

....and Clarke was only out for two weeks .....four weeks ago.

Next 2 games are big and 6 points from them are essential
