Yarm's Assessment & Last Night
Goes back to Yarm's assessment which was spot on and proven after last night - we really are a poor team! It also demonstrates all the blame can't be just on the managers ie Val and Bruce!
Last night we were poor against a bang average side in Bristol whose away record was shocking. Even the Bristol supporters were taking the p iss because they were beating us!
How does Phillips and Townsend get anywhere near that team? The problem with a caretaker manager like Beale and assisted by Brunt and Morrison - they can see through the eyes of the sacked manager and are chums of the old players ie Livermore, Phillips, Bartley etc!
No cutting edge - defending was shocking ( O'Shea and Townsend especially ) - Livermore is past it - Phillips is s hite and oh my god - we can't even cross the ball!!!
Asante works hard but for me he's a league 1 players and no physical threat. Thought Cleary looked more of a threat when he came on.
Sure Yarm said this squad would be fighting against relegation and this would be a correct assessment from last night! What was the crowd as never seen so many empty seats? Only missed the Reading away match but to be honest - don't have any appetite to go any time soon ( even if free ) after last night.
Can't see what a lower league manager can do with this lot as it needs a huge clear out from top to bottom. Beale saying the players are hurting - but my god they can't even do the basics like crossing!
If ( again ) any body wants to defend last night ie good Bristol side then they are deluded and this is why West Brom will continue to sink lower. Crowds are disappearing as are the away support which is normally excellent.
The silence on the new manager recruitment is typically West Brom - s hite! Is Fat Ron trying to have an extra lengthy process because he knows he's liable for appointing his mate Bruce without no recruitment process?
The club really is shambolic! How many chances last night?
