Prepare for the biggest bus you'll ever see.

We are thoroughly shit aren't we

[Deano's Mullet]

Our home record is atrocious.

[SamTheMouse]

You do wonder where our goals are going to come from this season.

They know they can sit back now and just wait for mistakes from us..mistakes from us are as predictable as the tides.

Well, no. I don't think we are. This is a pretty close game I think, and we've been playing some decent stuff and have conceded a pretty unfortunate goal.

Our record is shit, but we're currently doing OK.

[Jimbo]

Albion will be delighted that all we can do is stroke the ball about in front of them on the halfway line before giving it away. Let's see what masterstroke Tim can rustle up in the second half, because we've been garbage this half.

[Flamingo Lane]

Jeff Stelling is a twat, building up news of the goal as "the ball in the visitors net".

Can't score ,can't defend it really doesn't bode well

We've been playing some decent stuff, without looking the slightest bit threatening apart from one shot by Gil. I think that's the only time we actually got behind them.

Gil has been nice to watch but we're toothless in the final third. Need more dynamic up top, it's sad.

We are not good.

[citizenDJ]

We've had at least two decent chances that I can think of.

Still another half to play yet, and we're far from being overwhelmed here.

I crave mediocrity

Sadly this game shows why Pulis is a far better manager than Sherwood.  They look organised with a proper plan.  We look a disorganised rabble.
