He's a very poor gk
He should have saved both Blackburn goals, both on the side he should have got to

i am not a fan either for such a big goalkeeper he get beat low down too often we needc to priortise each end of the pitch first and foremost its no good having the majority of the play if you cant defend and cant score

Thought it was all a bit naff. First few rounds impressive and then spent the remainder running round the ring

I don’t subscribe to the rubbish that he didn’t want to knock Williams out.

I hope there’s not a rematch as Williams was thoroughly outclassed.

williams went down very easily when caught to me didnt think they were full blooded punches but as you say outclassed

We have to be realistic Bruce as form for getting promoted from this division, anyone know what his preferred formation is?

not fussed who we appoint as long as the ball is kept mainly on the deck  not the turgid football that has been served up for months [if you can call it that] and these players are obviously better than recent performances but need at least another year in this division . to many inconsistant performers need moving on not easily done. not giving extended contracts to .

Supporters are amazing people ! Many moaned on here and elsewhere when he played the kids against the Arsenal when they wanted more senior players in ‘ and give it a proper go ‘ , and now many are moaning because he isn’t playing more than the odd one or two when he has to !!

kids or senior players it will not make any difference its the style of play .he could have the best players at his disposal and it still would not work hoofing high in the air and[ hit too long for the front men] and head tennis most of the time .and dont mention the corners straight into the keepers hands or fouls against in a crowded box .theres only outcome from that awful football and lucky if 2 shots are on target all game

Getting very embarrassing now, anyone we go for now will have the club over a barrel.  The best option we have now is Mcinnes. In my opinion.

i agree ticks all the boxes too .watch out for all the anti mcinnes replies on here

I haven't said i want Macinnes i said i want Lampard! And you can't take away the fact he played here. What i know of him though he is an  honest bloke passionate about the game and  wouldn't stand no messing. But as i also said that is an opinion and no matter who we have we can't predict what will happen.  If i could I'd win the pools every week!!

well said 59 totally agree .just have a read from alex fergusons assumption of mcinness on sky glowing report indeed

McInnes is literally worse case scenario.

this time last week there were 3 votes they have more than trebled in number since .so not everyone would be dissapointed

I agree, the decision on the new manager should come from the head not the heart.
Having said that our decision will come from the wallet.

exactly .who do some folks think we are going to attract it will be a cheap option while this lot are in charge

If McInnes never played for us his name would not have been mentioned by any wba fan.

Steve Clarke finished above McInnes with Kilmarnock, Jack Ross (former Sunderland manager) has just finished above Aberdeen with Hibernian. Albion connections aside then McInnes wouldn’t and shouldn’t be mentioned.

i wasnt just meaning 1 season his whole tenure at aberdeen small minded to say the least

i see more votes have gone for mcinness and rightly  so its alright keep downing scottish football but has been dominated by the same two clubs for years of which aberdeen have had some victories under mcinness and winning the league cup just remember where did ferguson come from to the mancs plus albion had scottish players in the past and aproper captain while at the albion strong character which will be needed

Huge shame they couldn't hold on. Woeful defending by Furlong all game really but crucially at the end.

Another 2 conceded and the 18 million pound man desperately poor in front of goal.

Bartley, Pereira, Snodgrass and Diagne played well.

Need this Turkish lad so we can finally bin Livermore.

what about gibbs shocking defending for the first goal

Don't think they were that bad, he's just superb. Johnstone wouldn't have been coming and taking them put it that way.

free kick deliveries and poor balls in results in wasted opportunties

Coming up against another good keeper here...

in that case hope the players keep the crosses well away from his reach how many were poor against burnley like picking cherries for pope

Cant be arsed to address most of it but GIBBS.

Watch first goal again. He has 4, yes 4 choices to make when the first ball comes into the box.

1 Let it go for a goal kick
2 Head it out for a corner
3 Head it out to the wing away from danger
4 If confident enough just a little nod back to Johnstone, there was no one anywhere near him.

No the pillock decides to head it right back into the penalty area and increase the pressure on us.

He then fails to read the run of the full back who gets in front of him and buries the header.

I dont care if 25,000 Albion fans corner me in an alley way, the guy cannot defend to save his life.

totally agree at the moment townsend all day for me better defender .

I thought he was not able to a clear shot on goal so should have got a red card.

get used to it .we wont get anything from prem officials i will be surprised if we get a penalty all season

Awful awful 2nd half.

Madness to start with Bartley. He's just awful.

DOS will be ruthlessly exposed at this level in a 4 man defence with his lack of pace. Shame as I like him.

Sawyers a waste of time. Too relaxed by far.

No threat up front.

So same as what we already knew. Need a proper CM and some strikers and sell Bartley if we can

what about gibbs shocking header straight in front of penalty box and never got off the ground for the cross in that i am afraid set the tone awful

Please don't. I haven't got over 1982 yet and Clive xxxxxxxxxxxx Allen. They can't devastate us again can they?

Slav I will do your job for you. 433 Krovinovic in midfield, Grosicky left, Pereira right and if you dare pick Matt Phillips ......... well just don't!

absolutely and try robbo up top got more pace

Everybody was underpar Saturday.  Harper and Krov were missing for most of the time they were on the pitch.  When Livermore did get the ball he was surrounded and had zero options.  It's also why we were overrun in midfield.  The reason we didn't click in midfield Saturday was not because Livermore kept giving the ball away.

the whole team kept giving the ball .too  much lofting it from the back  and more importently lifting it in the air up to kanu he's not going to win many headers againt tall defenders the few times we kept it on the deck we looked good .credit to wigan though defended well and are on a good run can't win em all

« on: February 14, 2020, 08:24:56 AM »

I think this guy deserves a mention. He seems to have been one to knock but a run of games has really settled him down. I don’t think we miss Ferguson there at all. Gibbs is class but I think Conor deserves praise for the way he has now settled in.

give me townsend all day long .improving game by game .if gibbs gets back in how long will he last before injury again
