I should hope so, they're absolutely terrible and have nothing to play for. I assume those wins weren't away either.

Relegated sides have a habit of playing with freedom and getting results.

When we pipped Bolton to promotion many moons ago I recall them losing a home game  to a team in Rotherhams position, football teaches you to never take anything for granted.

I'm not saying we should win 5-0 but in terms of momentum, if we can't beat them at this stage then it's borderline curtains given the context.

Disappointing as we needed the 3 points, with Coventry, Norwich and Hull getting some form together.  However, on the balance of play, you can't really argue that Stoke deserved to get something from it. Palmer made a couple of vital saves first half.  Despite giving away the pen. I thought M'Villa sharpened things up in the middle and with Fellows getting past his full back 3 times, we looked the most likely to win it at the end.   

[ex coseley kid]

Nine unbeaten with four wins in that spell in a hyper competitive league. Not exactly a crisis is it. Let’s face it, all the teams below us would snap our hands off to swap positions.

Well put. Thanks for the different perspective.

[KN22]

Would have taken the point beforehand but disappointed to lose a 2 goal lead. Players looking a bit leggy to me, just when we don’t need them to. Truly hope that we can get Maja back soon because BTA, despite massive efforts, isn’t the answer up top. Another game unbeaten so that’s positive but Weimann should have won it for us at the end. Onwards and upwards….

[Hull Baggie]

A bit of a kick in the balls  but over all a point was a fair result.
Fullbacks were poor today  neither got to grips with their player and kept allowing them to cut inside onto their favoured foot.
Yokuslu off it again, 3rd game on the trot where he's been sloppy in possession. Despite giving away the penalty I'd start M'Vila on Wednesday.
In the grand scheme of things we still have a healthy lead over 7th place and we are now unbeaten in 9.

[Droitwich Baggie]

Weimann has missed a couple of easy chances for us in games. They may cost us.

I can remember Wimbledon came to our place when we were near the top and we were awful Jobi McAnuff scored the winner in the last minute . Pressure does many things at the business end of the season .

God, don't remind me of that one.

I thought the Albion were poor throughout, other than the way they took the goals. Stoke looked the better team with their no. 22 dominating the game. Good job they can’t score! Their crowd certainly got behind them and created a good atmosphere, something lacking at the Hawthorns recently. Next two home games on paper should give us the points we need for the playoffs.

[BagAlbion123]

3 poor games in the spin, worrying even if unbeaten.

Massive massive game Wednesday especially if results go against us...

Rotherham going to have nothing to lose even moreso now
 

[beechyboy90]

Winless in 3 haven't had a complete 90 for a while. Balance is the right in starting line up. There is some very tired bodies out there. I would be tempted to switch both of central midfield 2 and also forward line for next game.

We threw away 2 points today

Bolton amazingly lost 1-2 at home to second bottom club York on Tuesday 13 April 1976. York had previously only won away once all season. The result that opened it up for Albion to win promotion at Oldham 11 days later.

[WBAinDEVON]

difficult viewing again. on to the next

[caravanc58]

Performances are a concern but I'm confident we'll make the play offs, Coventry have an horrible remaining fixture list. Next two home games could cement it.

[stoxman]

Didn't really watch it with full concentration but what i saw was poor.

No subs until the 70th minute? Come on.  Not as if we what we were all witnessing was great,

Back to work just before the introduction of Reach and M'Vila.

Sounds like Weimann missed a sitter at the end, legs gone and now his scoring boots gone too potentially.

It wasn’t a sitter.  It came at him very sharply and he still had lots to do.  It would have been a very good goal if he’d taken it but I think it’s the sort of opportunity that would be a goal maybe 2/10 times.

Thanks for replying,you are only person I know to say it wasn't a sitter but I've just got home and need to see highlights myself tomorrow.

How many times have we seen a relegated team come good once they know their fate?

So i've just seen the full highlights and i don't think it was as certain a goal as others on here think but it was definitely an awful attempt made worse by the fact he's constantly asking for the pass so it's not unexpected either. Must work the keeper there at the very least.


Also no reason at all for M'Vila to make that kind of challenge from the highlight clip i saw. Cover was in place.

M'Vila was lucky he wasn't sent off for it. He must have had a rush of blood to the head, that's the only thing I can think of. It was high, it was out of control and it was dangerous.

Agreed, easily could have seen red but thankfully ref acted quickly and got YC out before his mind could be changed.  Stupid and dangerous sums it up for me.
