Bit of insight

The quality of our players is a long way off those we have had in previous season's but, if certainly not a team that would do well in the Premiership, we don't have a bad squad for the Championship.

I was initially worried with our defensive injuries but the recent back four have proven themselves. Holgate has done better than I'd anticipated and both Heggem and Styles are an improvement on what we had before. Going forward, Grant has impressed this season, Maja is a more natural goal scorer than weve had for a while and Fellows seems to be getting over his dip in form. If Johnston can do the same, our forward line is not too bad.

I agree with others that we do miss having a more creative midfield player but whilst it's only right to acknowledge his achievements, it's also hard to disagree with those criticising Corberan's style of play. The Norwich game was more enjoyable because it was more open and less tippy-tappy than the normal fare but even then the set up not to lose rather than aim to win mentality took over with the substitutions.

If I'm watching a game, far too often it is clear that we do not get players forward quickly enough and not in numbers and, if I'm listening to WBA radio commentary, AJ continually makes the same point.

May be great not to concede goals and not to lose games but only goals win matches and only wins will get us into the play offs.

Overall, I?m not too concerned regarding our tactics away from home as a draw is a decent result, especially at places such as Sunderland. However, I do feel that we need to be more proactive and adventurous at home. Sides have worked out how to play us at the Hawthorns so we must try to put them on the back foot as much as possible. I must have said this times that a side won?t score many goals against you when you?re playing in the opponents half. Attack is the best form of defence, especially at home.

As soon as I read the title of this thread, I knew this was going to be a Boingy post.

?Lads, Sunderland have drawn their last few games too?

?It?s a tough league, anyone can beat anyone?

?it?s a gritty performance, Sunderland land can?t break us down?

?we?ve had injuries, players are getting back into their stride?

?Preston won?t be easy, they?re on form?

?blah blah blah?

Just wake up Boingy! Stope defending the Cabron! sorry Colberan (see what I did there Al) 😄.

Nothing wrong with any of those quotes.

It?s a chance to take a step forward. We want to achieve more wins!

Hopefully their keeper won?t need to nap for long 😂
