West Bromwich Albion v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

As soon as someone gets the ball they're trying to pass it to someone else.

The fuckers.

Trying to pass the ball to a teammate indeed.

Recipe for disaster, whoever heard of such a thing?

Who was the analyst doing the coverage for BT/Sky today (not sure where the main feed came from)? I think I heard the commentator call him Gary, presumably an ex-footballer but I couldn't work out who it was.

I'd just like to add that I like this manager too. I think if we had an IQ test as part of our interview process he's the only one out of the last few that would have got the job.

He's working with planks of wood up front. I think even the shadow of his former self Gabby would improve us. Do we actually know for sure that he's persona-non-grata or just injured?

I have to admit that having been beaten down by so many defeats this season, I actually welcome draws these days, even though they're not much use to us. Especially away ones. That's how low etc.

Birtles?

Gary Birtles

Thanks. He was extremely irritating.

Why wasn't the Leicester goal against us offside?

Hilarious. Well done.

Because the ball came from a goal kick

My thoughts as well.  At the time Sherwood was sacked, I was very concerned that we were going to tail spin completely out of control.  I can start to see positives and believe we have a manager that understands the game.  I am sure that when he buys players they will be specific to what we need, not buys for the sake of it.

Very brief highlights

[john e]

like everyone else I do think we need a striker on the basis that we havent really got one that's anything like half decent at the moment

having said that,
 I didn't see any of the game just followed it on the 'match thread' which is always difficult as it seems everyone of our players is shit,
 but the question I would ask is if our set pieces, corners and crossing ability is so crap, 
how would a Charlie Austin type striker make any difference ?
these sort of forwards thrive on good delivery

are the forward players missing a bunch of great chances we are creating, or are we just not getting anywhere near with the final ball

[CT Villan]

With a cutting edge up front that would have been a comfortable win.

It's funny, Remi says in the Sky interview "I don't know if we have enough quality to stay in that league", yet didn't Fox and Hollis just finish telling us at the AGM that Remi was happy with the team he had and still believed we could escape without new signings - someone is telling porkies.
