The style of football is poor! The only chance today in the whole game was the penalty!

We need to be on the front foot from the first minute with a recognized striker and Fellows starting who makes the difference. Swift and Phillips may come back to form which would be a bonus too.

We dominated the stats and the chances today, god knows how bad we’d be if the stats were sh it as well!
That said, the painfully slow starts to games and the Wallace situation is an annoying show of stubbornness by Carlos.
I’m flabbergasted that Fellows doesn’t start every game.
Rule of thumb in every sport….”do what you know your opponent fears the most”, we are failing in that regard.

I didn't realise we hadn't won on Good Friday since 1930! I might not have predicted a win otherwise!

Carlos has been great, to suggest that we are as bad as we were under Pulis and Bruce is absurd; we are 5th in an extremely competitive league, still three points ahead of 6th and with a better goal difference. Some seem to think that we should win every match…..

Not at all - it’s the style of football and the stubbornness to accommodate Wallace over Fellows!

He was resting international call up players.

Totally agree with you Ketts.....he has been making a silk purse.......comes to mind.
Good job he is doing.

Nobody to my acknowledge has mentioned Bruce who was dire. Carlos has been a revelation but the point being - often the football is boring and lacks style. Many don’t care if points are there like Arsenal years ago when they won most games 1-0. The football from Ipswich for example has been attractive and more entertaining. I remember fondly the style of football from Mowbray which was fast moving and still he’s a fab manager hence the achievement of Sunderland in the play offs with stylish football.
People are different. For me I like to be entertained so whilst Carlos has done a great job - we should be on the front foot from kick off with a recognised striker. I go to a lot of games and many at the matches say the same albeit their love for Albion is 100% - as it should be because they are there on match day.
