    Not a great performance but.........

    its been a while since I saw an Albion side in the fifth minute of injury time, away from home surge forward in open play and a centre back is up there two yards off the goal line to tap in the winner. Most teams I reckon would have settled for the point and shut up shop. I also disagree with fans and managers who moan about ''It's not football but its effective.'' The whole idea of the game is to try and score goals and try and stop the opposition from scoring (to state the obvious). It seems that a lot of managers want their side to keep the ball for ten minutes leading to eventually losing it and achieving nothing. I would rather see us putting ball into the opposition's goalmouth at every opportunity however its achieved, as its exciting, as opposed to bug arsing about in front of our own goalmouth and giving me palpitations.

    Totally agree Joy! As many know, I have suffered through an illness in the last 18 minutes and still take 1 step forwards and two steps back. This style of football has made me come alive again - there's no room for lazy t wats which is why Zohore has been banished!

    To see our manager running from the half way line in excitement towards our supporters has filled me with excitement too! I think it's brilliant.

    I will be going to Preston come what may!!!

    Agree it’s certainly not boring, yes we play long but it’s not long to a single player the whole team surge on, far cry from the dross we had to put up with under Pulis!
