Straight off the bat mate and my honest opinion .

Val had our players playing Val football better than he has with the lads he's got at Albion .

That three month period last season when we won 9 straight championship games lost at home to Wednesday then went back to business winning 3-2 at Bournemouth the very next game we'd probably have taken care of yourselves too as of right now .

This league didn't know what hit em , nobody had a clue how to combat Val football plus Dike .

It was pure gold watching the big money clubs unable to cope with the incessant pressure and sheer intensity of our style .

It wasn't always pretty but my word it wasn't half effective .
Here in lies the problem, the style of play simply isn’t the Albion way, while we are winning the dissent from the fans is quietened, we don’t in my opinion have the players needed to successfully play this way, to get to that point Val needs at least the summer window, then we have a problem the DNA of the club would be changed and when we hit the premier league and get beat ever week the support will revolt, bang manager gets sacked and we have to start again only this time we don’t have the players to fit an open system. This is why Val needs to go now and the club stick to a DNA of open attacking football and ensure successive managers are recruited that play this style.
