Last Match Forum - 12/05 Southampton (H - Play-Offs 1st Leg) / Re: After Match Debate

Players gave 100% against a good side so couldn't ask for more. Wish Asante showed more composure when he could have passed to an unmarked Mowett first half. Didn't see anything in the other play off match to be worried about and still think we'll have our day at Wembley. Fellows had the beating of his man all game and could be the key to winning the 2nd leg, but we have to commit more players to get in the area or its a waste.

Not much optimism on here about the play offs, we can beat anyone on the day and they'll all be as worried about us as we are of them. This is the Albion and anything is possible.COYB.

We need to prioritise the sale of Grant somehow to get him off the books, also I think the fee we spent on Diangana was undisclosed but  was rumoured to be quite substantial, has this been paid in full ?

Just glad that Hull have to play 2 teams with everything to play for, Automatic promotion for Ipswich and a win to stay up for Plymouth.

It's not today that's put us in a precarious place it's the last 2 months, apart from the Leicester match it's been boring and negative. Our current form is only slightly better than Rotherhams.
Fellows created more than Phillips and Diangana combined yet will most likely be a sub again next week and what has M'vila done who's been dreadful to get ahead of Chalobah?
If anyone can throw away this it's in our DNA.

Is Townsend responsible for all our faults? He wasn't the player that missed any of the 4/5 chances saturday, he didn't concede the penalty or leave the smallest player on the pitch to  have a free header for Leicesters second goal.
We know he isn't great but our faults are collectively not singular.

Agreed, it seems difficult for some to accept he is a very decent striker at this level, a bargain for what we paid for him and also not a world beater either. I have no complaints with BTA, his goal output is decent and consistent, and his work rate is top notch.

Whilst not in the same league as Superbob he cost us the same transfer fee of £300k 32 years ago. 100% Asante is a bargain.inflation ay 😂

Best team in the league for me from the games i've seen.

They've got two huge games that will decide it, Leicester away and Leeds away last game of the season. If they pipped either of those two to an automatic slot can you imagine how deflated Leicester or Leeds could be going into the play offs.

I very much doubt Andi Weimann is scoring 11 league goals for us in a season if played as much as BTA

His record is proof of this, he's only once got more than 10 goals in a season during his career.

Another poor performance with a style of play that gets more boring by the match, we wasted 20 minutes of the 1st half watching Bartley with his foot on the ball at the half way line. Brainless red card for Asante, we have so many players out of form I struggle to see how we'll compete in the play offs.

He's 25, top scorer in his first year here and likely to repeat it this year, goal of the season last season against Stoke, he's played in over 80% of our games playing a role he wasn't intended to do due to injuries to other forwards.
For £300k.
We've had to shop at Poundland because of our finances and this chaps been a bargain.

Job done as was expected, very poor penalty award, just read on the BBC that we've been in 5th position now for 131 consecutive days since 2nd Dec 2023.

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.

I think it's noticeable that against Millwall and Watford they've doubled up on him, after those wonder strikes it's not surprising really.

We deserve nothing from this game we've been schooled. Swift and Yakuslu are running in treacle, wide men are creating nothing. Our performances of late are a concern.

Another no show from Wallace against Millwall so far. Then again not one forward player has done anything of note. I'd make changes now with Fellows for Diangana .

Stroll in the park performance. Both fullbacks had a good game and love the ball control by Johnston who just coast's away from tight positions with ease.

What a brilliant day so far, Now for Albion to get 3 points, them going on about the Bragging rights means absolutely nothing, we have beaten Coventry this season, they didn't batter us or relegate us. The last time Wolves beat us they won the cup all that rubbish, Forever in our Shadow. Bye Bye Dingles. Oh and I hope Italy beat Wales so I can brag to my Welsh mate about the Wooden spoon

Italy have beaten Wales so it's fair to say you've had a good day 😄

« on: March 08, 2024, 10:51:37 PM »

I agree. Statham was outstanding though, probably one of the top 2 in the country at the time, so that's a very high bar to set. Arguably Gibbs at his best was also better than Conor, but he was also an international standard. Other than that, I can't off the top of my head think of any better left backs that we've had.

David Burrows was better than Townsend.
