Things Have Got Worse

[Baggiemadguern]

Read this this morning on the BBC website and thought the three paragraphs copied below were quite interesting! (Meant to put a question mark at the end of the heading) (THINGS HAVE GOT WORSE?)

The link to the full article is below.

‘When Slaven Bilic was sacked, the day after West Brom had drawn 1-1 at Manchester City, they were, as now, second bottom. But they were only two points from safety - having played two extra games - and crucially their goal difference was not much worse than the sides immediately above them.

Not only did West Brom pick up just five points from Allardyce's first 10 league games in charge, they conceded a catastrophic 28 times.

Apart from Sheffield United, no top-flight side has a goal difference even half as bad as Albion's minus 36. Fifty-six goals conceded is by far the worst in the Premier League.’

Sam Allardyce has never been the type of manager who has made an immediate impact. On more than one occasion his first half a dozen or so results have been poor but once he has got the side playing his way, results improve. In fairness to Sam it has been similar with us. Nobody can deny that we are a better side now than we were. I think it's too late but there is a definite improvement.

I can’t disagree with what you say and we will never know what the outcome would have been without that change, although I think the writing was on the wall. I guess the period of change SB to BS will be most telling at the seasons end. Perhaps the change was a little to late. We are unlikely to stay up, so lets hope the club is already looking to the next season and hopefully beyond. Unlikely I know.
