West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Nii Lamptey]

If our board didn't have such a defeatist attitude and we'd have got a goalscorer in at the start of the window, we'd have a chance. As it stands, we're fucked.

Iffy feed lost me the first 60 mins. But I think we were easily the better side. I think we've turned a corner. And I'm warming to Mr Garde.

[Deano's Mullet]

Shocking decision not to give the pen. West Brazilian Albion nowhere near as good as they would like to believe and to not even force a shot on target vs us is laughable. If Benteke had in this match we'd have won it.

[Ger Regan]

Very poor game.
Positives -  Clean sheet and another unbeaten. Geye played very well I thought, Gil not too far behind him. The teams around us didn't go any further in front. That's about it really.
Negatives - We need wins, there was very little quality. Ayew was poor today.

[Edvard Remberg]

Dire - well we kept WBA lumping balls, and we defended well. We kept possesion, we actually played football. We couldn't score given us 400 minutes more.

SPLASH for a striker

Oh - and that includes the Ref being a pile of shit.

[Nev]

Sandwell couldn't beat our worst team in a quarter of a century at home.

Maybe they will make Wolves their rivals for the rest fo the season?

[ChicagoLion]

So dissapointed with Richards, time and time again he had the chance to attack down the right. He either did not move or just played the ball back inside.
One huge sulk.

[Chipsticks]

We were the better of teams struggling for quality. It was crying out for one moment of magic to settle it and I thought Gil was going to a few times.

Some absolutely atrocious crosses from Bacuna in that first half.

[maigrait]

We should go for charlie austin..... Oh wait....

[jwarry]

15 shots to 4 and they didn't have one single shot on target. The way I see this is we might be going down but I would rather that knowing we try to play a bit of football than watch boring shit every week just to stay in the league

[andyh]

While we are more solid and organised, we really are absolutely gash from 25 yards out.

[CJ]

Not exactly Real Madrid but we were by far the better team, and if the ref had given the stonewall penalty we'd have gone on to win. They were nothing short of poor - but so were West Ham, Sunderland, Norwich and Leicester. The fact we can't beat a string of poor teams is why we're going down. But with Garde in charge I feel more hopeful of coming back up

[usav]

two shit teams, we were the better without ever seriously threatening.

quick word on the referee......you twat.

[curiousorange]

Gestede hamstring. No excuse not to sign a striker now. Mind you, that was the case when he hadn't done his hamstring.

As for the game, load of bollocks. Better team but still relegated. How Pulis sides get away with their fouling I'll never know. The Referee's Benevolent Fund must do very well out of the Albion these days.

[Goldie.7]

Shit manager with shit tactics, mixed in with a load of morons claiming to be footballers producing extremely shit set-pieces and shit boring football.
