Thing is we haven't got bad players. We just haven't got a team! It's like weve got a 20 piece jigsaw made up of 20 pieces from different jigsaws!

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Tony Mowbray

« on: Yesterday at 07:31:53 PM »

I like Tony but I didn't want him as manager! It's not too often that returning really works, I mean how many of us after leaving a job go back?
My problem is with Bilkul. Thank you for saving us from Lai, but you really made a meal out of the process following Carlos's departure. This club is crying out for a reset/ reboot call it what you like! A month wasted in my opinion, surely there are other options out there!
Re the players, how many managers have they seen off?
We don't have bad players, we just don't have a team, frustrating when you see teams like Bristol City doing well, it's not like they've spent loads either!

I think if Dick Emery hadn't taken off Rashford (who isn't theirs anyway) they might have had a chance!

Sorry guys and gals for my negativity, but I fear our season/play off bid (which we wouldn't win anyway l think!) ends today! Can't see us scoring many and always likely to concede!
As I've said before we need a complete reboot otherwise the blues will be leaving us in their wake next season!

We have some decent players but we're not a team, if that makes sense!
Can't see us making the play offs, but to be fair it'd only be 2 extra games! We're no where near good enough for the premier league, we'd do worse than Southampton and Derby!
Oh how envious I am of Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford, perennial 3rd division teams in the old days, I feel Bilkul missed a trick messing about after Carlos and don't get me started on selling Palmer!

Mowbray has shoehorned him in at every opportunity and quite probably to the detriment to the team as he has offered very little, who's fault maybe nobody's but he's not a good fit for us, up there with the selling of Palmer as the miss of the season!

I'm not surprised!!
As much as I like Mowbray, I didn't think he was the man for the job! I believe we need a younger progressive coach, other teams like Sheffield Wednesday, Hull can do it!
A lot of the blame lies with Bilkul, wasting the best part of a month following Carlos's announcement!
As for the players, don't get me started, how many managers have the best part of them seen off!
Selling Palmer seems to have the biggest error of all!
I'm not convinced Griffiths is the answer either!
We need to start from scratch with a team of Prices, Heggam, the only bright stars of a dismal season, let's face it we're only where we are because the championship is so weak!!
Rant over, sorry guys!!

Sunderland derailed the play off bid at the Hawthorns a couple of years ago, looks like they're doing it again!

Cleary scored for Hartlepool yesterday and had an assist. Looked a bit trimmer to me, hope this kid can come back and get a chance, he's definitely a goal scorer!

Shame they didn’t keep a clean sheet really. Still, draw at home to Ipswich will have the locals in uproar

Especially since Ipswich had 10 men since minute 40

Let's hope Mowbray knows what he's doing! Last time I said that we beat Pompey, could be very difficult today!

Don't know for definite, but whenever I've seen highlights of non first team games, all visible stands are empty so I'd assume it's the Halfords stand open!

Well there's a first. I've never seen the words 'upgraded' and 'Cruzcampo' in the same sentence.

Lol when I lived in Spain, my Spanish friend described Cruzcampo as horse urine!!

I remember many years ago, we only ever seemed to buy midfielders, and funnily enough new signings never used to get a game for a few weeks! Imagine my surprise Armstrong starting today, glad he did!

I think a deserved win overall. Could and should have been out of sight at half time. Second half I actually thought Wednesday had more of a presence and you could sense an equaliser. However well done Jason, a fantastic celebration, shows excellent commitment.
Handbags at the end, raise your hand nowadays and suffer the consequences!
