Can’t really disagree. Dreadful game, dreadful football, dreadful officiating but probably, however disappointing, a fair result.
Credit to Danny Baath. Broke his nose against Leeds twelve days ago and took two more mighty hits on the hooter tonight. Great commitment which, along with a bit of common sense, was a little lacking in certain quarters tonight.
Kudos to the Baggies. They came with a game plan. 1541, play long balls over our defence and hope. When we were in possession they were to press us, forcing errors. They were all over us like a rash. When they had the ball we backed off and allowed them to do what the hell they liked. No surprise there, we do that every game.
They had 42% possession yet still managed 12 shots (4 on target) to our 5 and 1. We were lucky to get a draw. Mulumby should have done better with his early effort from the edge of the box. Campbell should have put that header away. 2nd half they had a shot that was hurried when thier player had time to control and choose rather than hit a first time screamer 5 yards over.
We didn't press, we didn't harry, we couldn't find a team mate with a 5 yeard pass. Elder gave them 2 unnecessary corners in the opening 5 minutes. I think that was possibly our worst performance of the season.
We got our goal thanks to Agent Nat who made contact with the keeper, causing him to drop the ball which landed kindly to Aggy to prod home. Their goal came from a corner which very many are saying should have been a goal kick. Having said that, if they had come away without a point that would have been floodlit robbery.
We saw yesterday why we shouldn't even be dreaming of making the playoffs. A WBA team in freefall had us in tatters. Thankfully we have a week now before the next game. Give the lads time to recover and, hopefully, learn what pressing is, what tackling is and how to pass to a colleague. We had 70 passes go stray. Far too many.
No idea why yesterday's perofrmance was so poor but it was bad. Bad day at the office? Hopefully we play better the rest of the season.
Awful game but shouldn't have been a corner and blatant foul on Salveson for their equalizer.
Absolute shambles of a performance, we got a point and that was barely deserved. I feel sorry for those of you who paid to watch that, demand your money back!
Eustace deserves a lot of credit for last season and for our current healthy position in the league but any more of that ****e and questions nust be asked!
