What does this guy have to do to get a game?
Exactly my thoughts!!!Quote:

It’s a different level and the couple of times he’s played he struggled to make any impact. If we don’t go up it won’t be because we didn’t play Cleary. It’s mainly the damage Bruce did at the start. Corberan has done great whatever happens. He needs money, backing, and hope. None of those things are available to him sadly at this club as it stands.
I agree Boingy but didn’t Grant and Grady cost 32 million? Was Dike not 8 million? Did Furlong, Bartley, Ajayi not play in the Premier League!Quote:

I can excuse the lack of quality but not the effort, desire, giving 100% and heart!
Corboren does need to take some of the blame for selections, strange subs and not giving the youngsters a chance. If Palmer was fit today and presume he was as on the bench / he should have started! Strongest team every time.
If you watch the latest highlights against Derby u21, Cleary does score a few but for one of Derby's chances he just leaves the bloke completely allowing an easy chance which luckily they miss. CC won't like that.
Grant could score tonnes of goals at that level, but rightly isn't getting into the team due to work rate issues - I fear Cleary is the same.
That said, he's obviously a goal scoring talent and we need assets to survive as a football club!
Don't mind the look of that Faal who looks physically ready for a higher level.
Once the play offs are well and truly over - surely to God - Corberon must play the youngsters!!
I can tolerate a loss by the youngsters trying but can’t tolerate absolute bottlers like yesterday!! It’s not one game it’s been happening for a while at 5/6 away games at least against garbage!
Are Huddersfield bottling it? Clearly not with wins at Middlesbrough, Watford and Millwall which is down to one man!!!
Before Corberan came I would have settled for just staying up. He worked wonders in his first ten games and it raised all our expectations. I myself genuinely thought maybe the team wasn't as bad as we thought and promotion was a distinct possibility.
Sadly it was a false dawn and the players have reverted back to their old lazy indifferent ways.
As others have said the problem begins at the top, we need to get rid of Lai and his minions and rebuild the club from top to bottom however long it takes. Things may get much worse and our generation might not live to see a resurgent Albion, but I hope for the sake of our younger fans a new Albion for them to be proud of is reborn.
Compared to the other midlands clubs we have never had an ambitious owner. Who knows what might have happened if Tom Silk hadn't died in the plane crash.
Totally agree Matt, he seems to have an attitude problem I reckon... like many others.Quote:

I also agree on getting rid of Lai and starting again, even if it means dropping down and building again.
I would much rather be a Sunderland who have spent 5 years getting rid of the dead wood and getting players that want to play than what we currently have.
I am disappointed with the recent run of results, but have to say I am relieved we won't make the playoffs, I don't fancy our chances in the Prem with this bunch!

It’s sad but actually was pleased Reach is now out for the season! That’s how bad it’s become!
Like everything it’s all about determination, desire and heart! Those Huddersfield players are giving absolutely everything!
Fire sale of players? Who would seriously want any of our players except for Okay and Palmer?
Grant - Wallace - Swift and Dike would never cut it as Premier players! So why when they are on big wages would they want to leave West Brom? Nobody else could afford them!
