Not sure about that. We've been average but not total out classed. WBA have done enough, nothing more 

[BRISTOL86]

Bobby Reid in 'doesn't beat first man at a corner' shocker. 

[Aizoon]

I think we've done pretty well, to be honest.

Loving how Savage is making a fuss about the boos when Anichebe is walking off not realising they're aimed at Lambert. Finger and pulse...

[Fordy62]

******* pathetic Reid.

No. They have different balls in winter. Must be the cold...

[Murraysrightplum]

Seriously has Wilbraham touched the ball?

[hortonred]

Don't we look bl00dy awful. Let's just hope that we can raise our game on Saturday. We gave didn't give West Brom a game we gave them a training session.

Savage ignorance!

[Red Wardy Returns]

I think the big difference is the first touch. It takes us an age to get the ball from out of our feet and the ball is played behind the player with maddening regularity.

What game are you watching? They have had one shot on target. They did what they needed to do but you made it sound like we got hammered. 

[havanatopia]

Out of the FA Cup with a bit of a whimper.

F-Me.....you got this hedgehog alter-ego thing down to the ground mate....wtf???.... even displaying knowledge of its mammalian genus. I don't know whether to be impressed or scared fella/luv.

 

[Robin101]

[havanatopia]

Yeovil penned back again, miss a penalty again.... Self inflicted demise of the Somerset club me thinks.

I'm not having that! Sometimes it's a massive c*ck up rather than a whimper.........

Were you watching the game or the stats ? We were terrible 

[Chairman Mao]

Wilbraham had no service to be fair to him, I'm not a fan but no decent balls in.

[Red Wardy Returns]

I don't know what Wilbraham offers, I really do not. Is it just me? It isn't all his own fault, the Bloke is 36 for christ's sake.

[Esmond Million's Bung]

WBA/Pulis taught us a lesson tonight about denying space, getting close to the player you are marking, harrying in midfield.

I don't think Bobby Reid is strong enough for this level and Williams is not a full back.

But hey we weren't disgraced.

They just came down to do a job, did it and go home. Just what you expect from a prem side.

[cityexile]

Ho hum.

WBA when they got ahead managed the game well. Real shame about what looked a soft goal. To be fair, really disappointed in WBA but they got what they wanted. Difficult to read to much in to our effort. On paper, given the changes we made, very decent effort. Equally, they really looked there for the taking.

Given some players a run out, rested some others. Missed Smith, and midfield looked weak on paper, and so it turned out. Reid not yet for me, but hard to judge in this game. Burns getting some good minutes under his belt, and Wilbs now a useful squad member.

Not in truth a great game. A result rationally I ought to feel pretty good about, having watched it, really disappointed.

On to the league!

 

[TheCulturalBomb]

Freeman was very poor, can't make a decent pass and lost the ball on many occasions.

Reid very good, I thought at least! Some naff deliveries but going forward with the ball he is brilliant, tried to get the ball moving quickly and has good vision.

Pack, amazing in the air, won lots, couldn't fault him.

Random person I will criticise is Little, guy is like a cat in headlights, and won almost nothing in the air, failed to recieve a simple pass on several occasions.

So terrible that an established premier league side created the same number of clear chances as we did?

A team thirty-something places above us, when we had several first team players out, a 19 year old debutant in goal, a first start of the season in Wagstaff, and our only defensive midfielder out of the game. 

Yes they didn't need to get out of first gear, but to suggest they slaughtered us is simply not true.

At the end of the day they were the better side, as they should have been. No complaints on the effort front here, they're simply a better team! Think it might have been a different proposition with Korey, Bryan and Kodjia starting.
