West Bromwich Albion away match thread

[HOZDA]

Please don't sit back 2nd half...get at them, they are fragile.

[TV Tom]

This is all about a stronger midfield, i said weeks ago to play Weimann either up front as one of two strikers or drop him

MADNESS .

Oh god. We’re gonna do this every week arent we?

win: 3 points of the playoffs. 
lose: relegation if they win their games in hand!

[Super]

Preston winning..

 

[Alessandro]

Well well, that was better!

We had to suck up some pressure at times there and the quality going forward was missing again for most the half, but we grew into the game and nicked a decent goal that we were good value for. 

Almost felt like a collective sigh of relief, the players looking more composed again, first touches better, ball sticking, better passing and we continued to threaten.

Semenyo, improving as the half goes on, cuts in from the left - shoots (IMO) and it's deflected in by the tireless Nakhi - lovely stuff.

Alex Scott with a classy half there. In fact loving the midfield 3 combo. Wingbacks felt a bit more conservative at times today.

Get another and I could see us scoring 4 as the crowd turn, but be ready for some response from them early second half.

This is brilliant so far, what a performance.

[Fordy62]

Anyone else’s West Brom stream down still?

[And Its Smith]

“ I don’t know where next win is coming from”.  No idea why people say this. We are so inconsistent that a win is never that far away 

[Firstyardleftinbed]

Very good away performance so far. Midfield looking much better with and without the ball.

Antoine looked like he had his boots on the wrong feet for most of that half but has a knack of coming up with something! Joe Williams has been the best player on the pitch so far. Just need to not do anything stupid...

How long have you been a fan? It’s all we know. We’re still worried about Sheff Utd aren’t we?

100% this is down to a stronger midfield 

This, all day long.

James. Sometimes hardly notice him when he's playing, but you bloody well notice when he isn't.

Refreshed it and is back on. 

[deadredfred]

Imagine this place if Vyner gave their player as much space as Semenyo was afforded then.

Fancy a shot or a cross Antoine lad? Sure - come on through.

People don’t seem to understand that in between being shit and becoming world beaters, you need to be inconsistently both!

[Dan Robin]

Great first half: tidy defence, good passing, more threatening in attack...and two-goals lead. More of the same in the second half, lads!

[bristol red]

James and Wells make all the difference IMO

Completely agree - he's just always in the right place at the right time. Nothing too fancy and it almost looks like luck at times, but it's just bags of experience and nouse. 

James was great but I'm going with Klose as "man of the half". Done really well under a big press from Asante. Performed the Naismith role of starting attacks pretty well and jus generally looked composed.

[richwwtk]

3 Central midfielders putting in a decent shift and we look much better for it

Dreadful defending. Just jogged after him.

Agree. Three proper midfielders. Such a difference.

This bloody team. Just when you expect them to get battered they put in a performance

Here’s me banging on about taking a draw and we’re 2-0 up

[ralphindevon]

The pleasing thing about that goal was with Samenyo’s strength and skill it’s a goal we should be able to repeat often.

[Tim Monaghan]

Just checking, are we Pearson in now? Or are we Pearson out this evening?
