90â€™
Austin fires a shot from the edge of the box but it's well over. There is three minutes added time.

89â€™
Luton are still searching for a way through but Albion are playing keep ball when they have it.

Shinnie makes a nast tackle on Diangana and the Baggies have a free-kick.

86â€™
Ferguson makes an important tackle on the edge of the box and puts the ball out for a Luton corner.

FT 1-2

93â€™
Albion still on the ball. Full-time whistle surely about to be blown.

92â€™
Austin has the ball in the corner. He wins a throw-in and then a corner.

91â€™
Albion end making lots of noise. Sluga hits a long ball to Collins but he is offside. Not long to go.

Win at forest and then win at a team unbeaten at home this year, has to be good, need a home win now to settle any nerves at the Hawthorns, well done lads !!

Done brilliantly to come back and win that. 7 points from 3 games, joint top of the league (yes its early days) but plenty of positives to build on.

A good comeback win, BBC stats show 24 shots 3 on target - get those shots on target

Good comeback.
Some shaky moments at the back at times but a win is a win.

Certainly seem to have the knack of getting results away from home. I'm never sure why we can't do similar at home. Surely home pitch and crowd should work in our favour?

Bloody hell that Diangana looks some player

Ridiculous goals but should've got an assist with Austin hitting the post, the turn/skill was unbelievable - and he defended well too.

Overall a good performance even though the first half was flat and similar to the Milwall game. My only gripe was Zohore still looks poor; i.e. bad runs and positioning. You can see he's trying and did some good stuff at times but I think we look far more threatening with Austin around.

Great performance in the 2nd half. Diangana looks different class. Very impressed with Pereira too. Sawyers is a joy to watch and Livermore looks far more comfortable in this setup. I'm confident of promotion this season.

Great comeback second half. Diangana! What an impact. 2 goals in 6 minutes plus brilliant run down right sets up Austin who hits the post. Perreira also looked tricky and useful.

Good win. We were the better side and if we started with the side that finished the game we'd have won comfortably. Once again we struggled to break a side down which is a bit or a worry. As soon Luton starting pushing on a bit more we opened them up a few times and no idea how we didn't score another one or two.

Need to sort out defending crosses though.

sorry to be a bit negative here. We did come back well, but after some comedy defending for their goal, and for portions of the first half I thought that we made Luton look like Brazil. We are Albion and we will need to do much better than this if we are to do well in this league.... admit I am grumpy but welcome more positive thoughts.

There was so much upheaval in the summer and so many of the signings made late on anyone expecting us to take to the league beating teams comfortably every game needs their head seeing too.

Just needs to keep points ticking over at this stage, will take a while to really assess how the new signings have fitted in. The international break will be good for us - 4 points in the next 2 games would be a good return.

Great result. Need to get our first home win of the season now on Wednesday. Win that game and it's been a cracking start to the season.

I agree to an extent, the first half was poor in parts and flat with no real penetration. The good news is that it's still not our best 11 with Hegazi, Austin and one of Diangana/Perreira to probably start more often so I wouldn't get too worried.

alex1 · « **Reply #168 on:** August 17, 2019, 05:28:38 PM »

Thought we looked very good on the ball. Livermore looks alot more comfortable in this set-up. Gibbs and Ferguson had excellent games. We look to have 4 very good options on the wings. Means that if anyone is off the pace or blowing wind, we've got options on the bench who can raise our energy levels. Diangana looks a real find.

Good thinking. I just need us to start defending better than we have been.

Would take 7 points from 9 games and to be joint top.

Well done Slav and all concerned. Bed the new players into the first XI and we will go well this season.

Great win. Time for a few celebratory beeers with the in-laws

Enjoy the weekend all

Excellent win and lots of positives. What a difference when you have those options from the bench. Get Hegazi back and get these new boys fully fit and we will be a force in this division for sure. A word of praise for Livermore too.

johnny Cash · « **Reply #174 on:** August 17, 2019, 06:30:00 PM »

Just seen the highlights.

Sawyers tangles with his man and falls over which leaves the player free for their goal. Just one of those things rather than the shambolic defending we have seen for other goals we have conceded this season.

Austin should score too.

Seems like there is still plenty of room for improvement, but itâ€™s far easier to have confidence and a bit of faith we will improve when we look like we can control games, which we very rarely did last season.
