The atmosphere at last match was dreadful and certainly amongst the worst I’ve experienced. (My first match was 1961/2 season) We have had season tickets most years that we have lived in the Midlands and sat in the BRE and East Stand, so I consider I speak with some experience.

In previous years when ‘we were doomed’ there was still a jovial atmosphere. Clearly we believed we were not good enough and chanted accordingly! Relegation was certainly not wanted, but accepted in good spirit. Indeed I nave memories of humorous chants directed to our disappointing relegation…a sad but supportive response from us fans.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that there was a specific supportive chant for most of the individuals in the team. (McCauley, Brunt, Morrison, Robinson, Lukako, Kanu, etc., etc., etc., I’m struggling to think of any personal chants (supportive!) directed to any of our 1st team squad?

Such a shame to see that there is a rotten core within our players, inevitably picked up by us fans. We may blame the owner, Manager or a n other, but for me the onus of responsibility sits firmly with the players.

I’m guilty of not driving the singing, (but always a loud voice !) the last few matches have been bereft of decent vocal support, symptomatic, in my opinion, of the effect the players’ attitudes and commitment.

A major clear-out essential, but very difficult to undertake given the contracts and wages. Which club would take them ?
Very sad to hear it mate, but thanks for your input, which really is one to take seriously given your vast experience of watching the Albion (from before I was born).

I too really think there seems to be ”a rotten core” within the squad (picked up from some distance), and that a major clear out is imperative.
