West Brom Board

Some good comments there.

Disagree with the poster who thought Jed Wallace wasn't poor. He was absolutely abysmal for them.
 
I've never really checked other teams boards before or after a game.

Will be doing it from now on though as it is interesting to see what other fans think of us.

Comment about Doak is spot on he looks some player for this level.
 
A couple of seasons ago Wallace and Swift were the pair that elevated West Brom above the common herd. Now they're taking pelters. That's, as Carrick occasionally points out, football.
 
They reminded me a lot of us for the majority of this season.

They were tidy and decent on the ball, but struggled for ideas on the edge of the area.

We look like we have hopefully addressed those issues now .....
 
They were the best team we've faced this season by a mile.
A very even game for me with similar amount of chances at both ends.

A good goal from Hackney was the difference in the end but it could have just as easily been 1-0 the other way.

Anyway nice to be on the right side of a tight game for a change.

Totally agree, the Dieng save from Wallace proved a crucial moment in the game and as you say, it’s good to be on the right side of a result for once.

On Tyne Tees after the Sunderland game, they interviewed fans from both sides and one Sunderland fans comment stuck with me. He said he was buzzing with the result and that we were the better side.

I feel he was right, but it was melt down on here with some fans questioning if Carrick had taken us as far as he could.

Equally, we shouldn’t get too carried away, it is only the beginning of October and a lot of games to play.

I don't think he was absymal. He got himself into some really good positions and always seemed to be involved with the good stuff WBA were doing. I don't think he had a brilliant game but he certainly wasn't abysmal.

I thought he was really ineffective and wasteful. If they started Fellows they would have given themselves a better chance of a result. I really think Wallace is just a run of the mill championship player. Looks a good pro and gives his all but that's about it for me. Not much quality
 
I think he was wasteful and i agree that i think they might have given themselves more of a chance if Fellows had started, maybe there was were some other factors at play but i think it's harsh to call him abysmal. He didn't shirk responsibility but i think he lacked execution.

Yeah I'd say that's fair. Decent squad player for them and probably a good lad in and around the place but looks like he's on the way down now for me rather than up.

The fact he looks about 70 doesn't help my thinking either 😂😂. Oldest looking 30 year old I've ever seen.

This happened last season to a degree as well.

It’s easy to get swept away with the emotion of football after a bad result. Win, lose or draw I always try to put emotion to one side (that can be difficult) and give a balanced view point. I used to fly off the handle after a bad result in my younger days, but have certainly mellowed out in the last 5-10 years.

I posted a few things after the Sunderland game and the responses just weren’t worth engaging with as so I logged out for a few days as my frustration with the game wound have also got the better of me.

That said, a couple of the posters who were regularly posting after a few disappointing results are nowhere to be seen in the last 5 days - Surprise!

No surprise at all, this place can be toxic after a defeat and even more so when it is Sunderland who we have lost to.

I would of sworn he was mid 30s, he seems to of been around a long time, hes definitely lost a bit of pace in the last year as well.

Mad isn't it. My Mrs couldn't believe it when I told her he was 30 last night.

Then she sent a picture of him in her group chat with her friends and asked them to age him and everyone of them said 50 or over 🤣🤣🤣

West Brom are a good side - Id be surprised if there was more than 3 points either way between us and them come the end of the season, wherever we finish
 
I was impressed with them. Looked very well organised and pretty decent with the ball (arguably more than the sum of their parts).

Their season will depend on Maja for me - if he can keep up his current levels they will be right up there but can't see much coming from the rest of the team if he drops off.
