WBA53 match thread

[DaveP67 is back!]

Usually one player puts in a decent performance, last night for the first time I can remember not one deserves any mark whatsoever, we really are in a massive dark place, if we he beat by Fulham I fear moral will be so low we could end up on 11 points..

I would question the desire to play for Fat Sam as we are actually worse. How can Gallagher be on the bench instead of that awful awful Sawyers? Bartley was a rock against Wolves and then on the bench - Ajayi actually plays better with Bartley! How can that useless turd Phillips come on too - Grosicki not perfect but he's twice the player!

Krov although not perfect is twice the player of Sawyers and Livermore!!!! More money saving by getting rid!!

It was consistently sticking with Sawyers, Livermore and Phillips which sadly ended Bilic - so is Fat Sam so stupid not to see they are not good enough!

Grant - sorry but not a Premier League striker in a million years! The Welsh International huffs and puffs but he's as good as a big puff himself - useless!

Worst ever ever West Brom team seen in many years. They are an embarrassment!

Do we honestly think we will beat Fulham who are decent - not a chance on this showing!

Will Fat Sam care when we go down having picked up his riches for making the team actually worse?

PS - just who will want to come to this club! At least Dowling will be happy and can't he resign and do the honorable thing?

What I don’t get is why the players turned up for the dingle game and not for the others. Is is that players are trying to say they don’t want to play for FS but will put on a show for our local rivals? Who knows. I remember a similar thing when we finally got rid of Pardew and players instantly started to get some form under albeit it Moore.

Either way, i’ve given up for some time and I don’t bother to even follow live results.. the past year has been (and for many) a write off.

The only thing I can think of is perhaps Bartley and Gallagher are carrying knocks and needed to be rested for the more winnable games, but then why not pull Snodgrass off earlier?

This must really be one of the worst Albion teams ever!? No passion, no grit, no fighting spirit, no pride, no effort, no skill, no nothing!

I can’t think of any worse, I did however ”miss out” on the years in the second and third tier during the 90s (due to difficulties following from another country, pre-internet, pre-satellite tv etc).

Oh Thomas......you missed some absolutely beautiful moments during the pre Internet days!

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen our display against non league part timers Woking from exactly 30 years ago so I’ve added the link below.

We were in what is now The Championship at the time and they were a bunch of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers and look what they did to us.

Look at the quality of their third goal as well.

Their final goal was scored by a little fat bloke they brought on as sub just to keep him happy, we were that bad they took sympathy on us by weakening their own team😫

Listen and watch the reaction from the Brummie Road when we score a consolation at the end.

I’ve never known a home crowd to be as angry as they were that day, there was a riot outside the ground after the match!

Can't help but think you're doing Pereira, Robinson and Gallagher (when picked) a disservice there Thomas.

As for the 90s there were some seriously wet blankets to at least rival and in many cases surpass the dampest recesses of our current squad.

They may not be the worst Albion side that I can remember but as I said on a previous thread, they must be close to the worst top flight side in my time.

Oh dear, how ”far down” non league were they?

And, the reaction after 2-4, priceless... 😳😎

Yes, I should probably confine myself to top flight. 5 consecutive home defeats at 1-22 take some beating though.
