Shocking performance  whatever the opposition

[iwastherein68]

Well I am fed up with his pathetic continuance of sticking with the old guard, who have let us down continually. I have stated previously that I am not bothered about getting back to the Prem, I want to see us building a good young team for the future, and Darren Moore does not have either the will or the way.
He will have to be replaced, this is neither one thing or the other.

[gazberg]

Rapidly losing faith with DM and i was a fan. When things are so obvious and you cannot see them as a manager its worrying.

"There's only one big dave" from the away end. Shows people who actually pay money have faith.

We are 5th. 7 games in.

We've lost 2 games!!!

He’s so tactically naive though, Monk got his tactics spot on tonight, we were embarrassing.

We're joint 8th with the other teams to play tomorrow, realistically we'll be about 11th come Sunday which isn't great.

One thing I've noticed about Moore is that he struggles to break down defensive teams; in the Premier League it was the opposite, but as the aggressor he lacks ideas.

[wba_1996]

Needs to learn that you’re allowed to change shape during a game. Also needs to learn that you don’t get points deductions for playing young players in league games. If not we need to make a change, his in game management is honestly no better that what you see during Sunday league.

[paulosull]

Happy that Darren got the job but he's persistence with Brunt in the middle is beginning to urine me off

I pay money and do not believe. I don't care where we are in the league he is not giving the kids a chance despite abject performances from some of the seniors.

[Mikkyk]

For me, tonight is proof that unfortunately, DM isn't up to the job

Shhhh. You're not allowed to say that here. Everything is awesome, remember?

We take a point and move on but performances like that are simply not acceptable over the long term . There are major question marks over the coaching particularly defensively . The players look ill at ease passing the ball from the back and they should be asked to do the simple things first and foremost . Nice bloke but I fear for him when someone beats us heavily .

[caravanc58]

too early to get the noose out but Moore needs to up his game and show he's a strong enough character to change players who aren't performing.

[cornishbaggie]

Give him time. Not the finished article. Needs time to learn on the job. Patience required. It's still September. Give him at least a year.

[beechyboy90]

Correct hopefully he gives Barry or field a go over brunt.

As I stated on after match thread my biggest concern is how he fails to really change anything with his subs. He doesn't change tactics or shape jsut the perssonel. Having said that since he's been here we have only lost 3 games. Squad still needs loads of work and his hands were tied all summer hopefully we can fix the isses come Jan.

[Sted1990]

Disappointed in his reaction to the first half. Every Albion Fan could see at half time that  we needed a change at centre Mid and left back but once again he didnt react.

This is happening too often away from home and I fear it will cost us dearly come May.

You may be a legend but this reluctance to react is not good enough.

[GREGMT]

Absolutely awful.  He doesn’t have a clue.

I’d say Barry and Hoolahan are superior footballers to Brunt / Livermore.  If he doesn’t bomb them out soon then automatic promotion will be lost.  I’d rather see Burke deployed as a sub up front than HRK.  You can also make a case for Dawson being switched back to centre half instead of Bartley. 

I just don’t think Moore is intelligent enough in game mode.  Yes he has the qualifications but just isn’t sharp enough to alter things.  Monk is easily better tactically.

[Canmore Baggie]

In a perfect world yes, but can we really afford to do that?
We are in the short-term position of having a squad that is way ahead of the rest of the division in terms of class, and having financial resources to back us. This does not last very long, and we need a manager who is tactically astute enough to take advantage.

I am not advocating sacking Darren Moore now - would be way too early - but he does need to get his act together and demonstrate that he can do the job at the level required.

Burke is awful and who ever paid 15 mill ought to be ashamed! Darren Moore not intelligent? Dear oh dear

Robson Kanu is not going to get any better at 30 years old and is limited.
I’d say Burke has potential and he needs to play to learn whether it’s here or on loan.
Are you happy then with the way Moore sets up the team and subs?  Monk would give his right arm for the quality WBA have.  He’s scrapping away with free transfers yet has completely bossed Moore tactically.

He didn't though he just employed a half pitch press having his players sit off the back three until they gave it away. Hardly mind blowing stuff.

Awful, no skill, no speed, contributes nothing. Needs to be dropped. Just don't understand why DM keeps picking him. Bring back Rodriguez I say.

[WBArgo]

I wouldn't want Monk as manager but tonight he did a number on Moore and created better chances with far inferior players. He's arguably got the worst team in the league yet for large parts he killed our attacks and created more than us. Had they had Gayle instead of Jukiewitz or even finished their penalty, we'd have lost the game.

You're right though - he didn't do mind-blowing stuff which is the worry. He just sat back and let us invite our own problems upon ourselves.
