We got exactly what we deserved. We weren’t at it almost from the off. The midfielders were absolutely hopeless, Styles was stupid , why Barbara hold of somebody on the halfway line when you’re already on a yellow card. Most disturbing was the apparent lack of fire in the bellies as well as nobody seemed to want to grab the team by the scruff of the neck and shake off the inertia.
Some have said the subs didn’t make send but Swift missed a real good chance and Armstrong had one disallowed that I haven’t seen back yet but have seen somebody has said he was definitely onside.
Overall it was a total shambles and ALL players and ALL management have to take a share of the blame

I agree it is the collective that should accept the blame, however too many Albion fans think it’s simply the odd one or two that’s the problem.

Unfortunately, it runs much deeper than that.

I do agree with this. The after effects of the Lai era.

Can we stop blaming Lai now. Corberan and the club chose to renew Mowatt and Bartley contracts. Yes some deadwood is still there but our singing have been poor, the Italian, Price, Bany, MJ etc hardly stumping up trees. Also sold our best player.

I'm talking about the mish-mash, imbalanced parts of the squad.

Anything Bilkul have done then of course they are responsible for

Today was inexcusable.

Tactics Tone is I'm afraid a dinosaur.

He should have matched up arguably the best midfield in the Champ with Diakite in there and sacrificed Grant or Johnston.  That's what Corberan would have done.

Then he brings on Swift for a CF when we are losing in a must-win and Diangana - again no Diakite.  Completely clueless. Mowbray is in a time warp, he keeps going on about how good Swift and Wallace are.  Every interview I hear with him he just says the wrong things. 

And yesterday he's talking about selling Heggem before a massive game which to me says he's doesn't believe we can go up because if we did Heggem is going nowhere.  The guy appears to have lost the plot. 

I doubt however that a decision will be taken if it is, until it's mathematically impossible.  But Shilen and Nestor sat there today must surely have been as appalled as we were, unless it's already been accepted behind the scenes that we're not good enough and Mowbray will lead a rebuild of young hungry signings and from the academy.   Maybe that's why Mowbray is seemingly so passive, detached and distant from it all in his after match interviews. 

As crazy as it is though,  if Brizzle or Cov don't win any of their last three we can still mathematically do it, can't see it but you never know.

No way do I want Mowbray overseeing the rebuild that's needed. It doesn't matter what players are on the pitch if your tactics are as bad as ours. Each to their own but I wouldn't pay to watch Corberans football, apart from early season it was mostly slow backwards and sideways that required anaesthesia, but technically he was superior to Mowbray.

[TheBaggieMan]

I never really feel the need to comment on here but after today's debacle I can't but help saying something  I have been watching the baggies since the early 70s through good times and bad but since the appointment of Mowbray we have become totally clueless and spineless, his team selection and substitutions are mind boggling. Great servant in the past but now needs to retire and we need to bring in someone who can inspire the players and more importantly has the courage to drop (permanently) players who are well past their sell by date!!

Spot on Tim and welcome to the forum. Like yourself, and probably influenced by Mowbray’s first management stint with us, I welcomed his appointment but, it’s all gone pear shaped and agree, it’s time for retirement.

[hardtobeat]

Too slow , couldn't pass water, couldn't tackle a bag of crisps, must have a head like a 50p etc etc aren't the worst charges to be levelled at footballers by their own fans. Lack of heart , not being prepared to roll yeah sleeves up when it gets tough, , lack of bottle are far worse! That point was reached yesterday and something need to change drastically after the next 3 games!!

[timdon]

I now realise that when we were drawing these type of games, those were the good old days.

[LiamTheBaggie]

Coventry similar to Bristol City were everything that we could only dream of.

Young, energetic midfields with a tenacity without the ball and an ability to move the game forward when they have it. It also helps working to a well coached plan.

Meanwhile, we stand there with our slow, cumbersome midfield who’s only ability is to pass sideways and backwards whilst inviting that press from the opposition.

Sadly, we could have that kind of midfield.

Fellows - Price - Diakite - Johnston

It's a pretty young, energetic midfield right there.

It boggles my mind that people fell under the illusion of his first spell. It wasn't even that great we had many many poor games under him even in the title winning season not to mention all the support the fans gave him in the relegation season only for him to stick 2 middle fingers to us and go to Celtic

Under RDM in 2009/10 we were not only statistically better but played much better football too
