    Was working last night so only caught the first 15 minutes or so of the game. Appears to have been yet another poor and nervy performance but, as others have said, the lack in both quality and depth of squad means that the same group of players are being selected all the time which may account for the fatigue (both physically and mentally). End of the day at least it was a win and that's what is most important at this stage. Given the circumstances perhaps it's the best we could have hoped for-and there have been plenty of times in the past where the play has been awful but we have ground out 1-0 results to keep us going. Just wish he would give some of our younger attacking players a chance as may help rejuvenate some energy in the team?

    Last night and Saturday is purely about winning, it doesn't matter how we play in my opinion. Its just about results at this stage of the season.

    Having said that last night reminded me a bit of the Blackpool home game which wasn't a classic, but started us off on a huge winning run. When this team loses 3 or 4 starters, which is where we are right now, then we'll always struggle because our squad is generally quite poor. But if we can put a bit of momentum together and get those players back we have half a chance of top 6 and promotion. If Corberan does that given the state of the club when he walked in, it will be the biggest managerial achievement of any Albion manager in my lifetime I think.

    Night matches taking a toll on both fans and players,
    A lot of fans by me who hardly miss games in the past, are missing many now.
