Same old issues, same old problems, same old moans and same old moaners. Oh what joy to be a Baggies fan!
Good effort and work off the ball to get or re-get possession, keep it going. Get it fora`rd quickly- no problem with that, but please not just the aimless 35 yd hoof we are getting at the moment.
Needs more composure, better touch and vision and cleverer movement. Best players at this we let go, and they are difficult to replace. Besides which, composure touch, vision and movement are rarely found together in one player with the level of off the ball chasing and challenging we want to do. Mowatt, is a bit of an exception for us, and we could do with a couple more like him.
But it is not all doom and gloom, we have not played well - granted; but there is or will be improvement available, and we have also been a tad unlucky at times. Desperate defending, good goalkeeping and decent chances missed all part and parcel of the game, have prevented us from winning, fortune has not gone our way very often so far, but still we are there with a chance. As bad as our defence seems to be, I believe it will be a very lucky team that turns us over, and on the other hand we could easily, with reasonable luck, take some team/s to the cleaners in the future.
So whilst it is by no stretch of the imagination good at present; it it still nowhere near as bad a picture as the usual suspects are painting.
