WBA53 match thread

[baggieal]

A couple of points. When Johnny Giles took us on we were rock bottom of the second division at the end of September.
This type of football won't work in the premier league but neither will an open expansive game as Tony Mowbray proved.
Let that sink in.
Being an Albion fan I love to see good football but the game has changed, we can no longer outfootball the likes of City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
I love the passion and commitment Val brings to the club.
We are all in this together, people should stop moaning.
This is 2021 not 1978.

Well said Des!!! I feel alive again after some of these performances!

This is brilliant to watch sometimes like yesterday it doesn’t quite work to how it’s planned but we chance and Harry to last min as yesterday proves, Mowett wins the ball Furnell gives the ball to Phillips who drives at the back four then your Centre half breaks into the penalty area and scores could we ever see this happening under most managers.
19 shots to 5 in our favour our keeper hasn’t had difficult save to make how can anyone not love this.

I was going to post similar thoughts........can anyone name the last manager that would sanction our centre half arriving in the middle of the goal two yards out to finish a 94th minute move?

No.....neither can I, not in almost 50 years of watching Albion.

Even Atkinson and Mowbray weren't that cavalier.
