WBA V Boro match thread

Barry Fry has more tactical nous than Big Dave! Bringing Brunt on for Field - well well! Constantly playing Kanu who could not hit a barn door, and Johnstone in goal who must still be on the Vile's payroll.

I too hated the way Pulis played in the end. But whose laughing Big Dave or Pulis? Six points wasted and don't get me started too on all the other points wasted including playing three at the back until he nearly got strung up!

Hate to say it - can't see us beating Stoke!!! As Mick said - Big Dave is clueless and can't argue with that!

What do want a medal for recognising Pulis had to go 'in the end' everyone with any football brain knows he should have gone way way before he did.

What would you rather watch a Pulis team or a Big Dave team?

Neither!!! Perhaps a Smith, Farke or Bielsa who have more tactical nous! Brunt for Field - for feck sake! Mowbray's football was entertaining in this division but we let in nearly as many goals as we scored! Then again, with our squad, I would take Mowbray over Moore for sure, as would many!

Lets see how we get on at Stoke but not confident. Dubai at a cost of 150 grand did little - we were absolutely shocking at Bolton! How many away games this year have we been outstanding and dominated - like Norwich did today?

Foster would have thrown his cap on those first two goals. If he keeps insisting on playing Brunt then give him a go in goal. He couldn't be any worse!

Today's result was hard to take. All three of their goals were gift wrapped. When we went 2-1 in front I could only see one winner, us, but again we shoot ourselves in the foot.
I have to agree with many others that Johnstone is a real cause for concern. His distribution and command of his area are shocking. Their first goal was completely down to him. Up to that point they had hardly touched the ball. Also, I don't understand why our most potent goalscorer is played out wide, doesn't make sense. According to most pundits we have the strongest squad in the division but they really do have to start showing it and quickly. Very disappointing!

Well, according to many ”experts” we had our best squad ever last season, and we all know what happened.

I don’t think we have the best squad, if you take into account the depth of the squad, which, of course is of great importance.

With H Barnes and everyone else fit, we may have had the best starting 11, but, that won’t suffice in the long run.
