    I notice the moaning way more on here than up the match. So in my opinion, the negativity on this board is not a fair proportion of fans views...

    Many, many clubs in the football league, and a few in the prem who would swap with us right now.

    I've been a supporter for 60 years next April. I hate the moaners (although I ranted in the Don Howe years, and the 90s).
    I like to think I've encouraged the team through the bad years, but I confess I've been a pain the last 2 seasons. It might be enough for some to boast that we're a League above our neighbours and that's all that matters, but I can't accept the drudgery that I've witnessed lately, and if I moan about it it's because I'm frustrated. Look what happened for 5 minutes when Myhill went down: we kept the ball away from him for 10 minutes (or whatever) by trying to get forward; frustrated midfielders looked as if they were enjoying themselves, and we looked comfortable on the ball (which 5 International players should do). Different story as soon as we scored: robotically we sat back and played the 30% possession game against a pretty poor Leicester side, and an equaliser was inevitable, and most opposing sides would probably have beaten us in the end.
    10 pts from 8 games is not enough considering the easy fixtures we've had, and until we try attacking I'll moan all the way to The Championship.
    The "few in the prem who would swap" are Day Trippers - but we're above that. We're 11th in the All-time League, renowned for our attacking. 60 years applauding them has seen some great proud days out.

    Moaning can be (not always) a complete lack of appreciation for what we are doing as a club. We have all witnessed better football from the baggies for sure but just remind yourself of the last few decades. We went from 16 years of trying to get out of the championship....to getting into the Prem but as the YO-YO team, returning to the championship....to establishing ourselves as a just avoiding relegation club for a few seasons....to now being seen as a top ten club.
    Thats progress in anyones book. I really believe we are on the up. Keep the faith. As we slowly climb, our football will improve because we will attract bigger and better names.

    Not under Pulis we won't, the guys sucking the life out of the club and the supporters.

    We've attracted bigger and better players but the performances remain dreary.
    I don't believe we can climb any higher, position wise in the Prem. Top 6 are pretty much nailed on.

    Not much higher than what we managed last season.7th position wise the the best we can hope for so I wonder when our football will improve. If not now when we are at our zenith then when?
