.... will be enough to stop up this year west brom, Fulham, Burnley and us seem way below the rest of the teams and will all lose or draw most weeks.

The scary thing is Fulham totally outplayed us on Sunday and a point was daylight robbery if we're honest... But that said we've been a bit unlucky in the other games.

Hopefully brewster comes good and when moose and fleck are back things will start to pick up

We should have wrapped the game up at half time
It was a game of two halves

We should have buried them by half time.

I concur we totally lost it in the second half. Osborn or Ampadu or Bash to midfield was a more needed change than Brewster.

Watched it all.... We were better first half but never troubled their keeper... Ramsdale made a great save in the first half and 2 or 3 more in the 2nd. Overall they will be more disappointed with a point

Why not....
Let's look at it rationally
1st game we had a crazy first ten minutes, and in the end had the chances to draw.
Against Villa we had a man sent off, so played most of the game with 10 men and missed a pen.
Against the dirty we should have been at least 2 up in the first half.
They score a goal that should have been flagged up as a foul on Berge.
We then should have been playing against 10 Arsenal players instead of 11 if the officials had got bigger minerals.
Then we move on to yesterday where again we should have been a couple of goals up at half time.
People need to get a grip, and calm the feck down.
That's my rant over....

Agree that the game should have been done and dusted by half-time.

For many Blades, substitutions have been the gaffer's Achilles heel for a while. It seems to be very formulaic - almost pre-determined. It used to be 'take Duffy off after 65 minutes' to the point where the player publicly came out and insisted that he was fit enough to do 90 and never wanted to come off.

Now, we have a new change which is to take Basham off to move to 4-4-2 when we're losing. He has been sacrificed 4 times in 5 league games already. Apart from becoming predictable, the consistent Basham is one of the players at or near the top of the list of those you want on the pitch chasing the game. Much better to push him into the middle if we're going 4-4-2 and lose one of our anonymous midfielders.

Save for Berge, who is looking like a Rolls Royce, any of our midfielders could have been taken off in any of our matches to date. None of them have done much.

Taking off McGoldrick when you're bringing on a new striker is also another regular and odd move. With arguably the least creative midfield in the division, it makes no sense to remove the only creative spark. Brewster didn't stand a chance of doing a thing on his debut.
 



How can you possibly come to the conclusion that 30 points will be enough after 5 games? People last year were saying 40 points might not be enough.

If's, but's and maybe's
Teams that get relegated find a way to lose
Teams that succeed find a way to win.
 
Same shots on target
More passes in attacking third (if you're into that stat)
One more clear cut chance than them
5 saves each

Didn't batter us at all. We lost shape and conceded possession after Didzy went off.

I just can't see the bottom 4 at the moment getting points other than against each other... Teams who might have expected to get dragged into it... Villa, Leeds, Everton, Newcastle, Southampton all look much stronger than the current bottom 4..

I’m saying 30 points won’t be enough to stay up

Who did McBurnie hit from 6 yards out then? The first half, especially the last 30 mins of it, we absolutely dominated.

The shape of the league is never formed now, teams will start getting points, including us. It'll need more than 30 though.
 
This is my opinion on the game,
Any feedback or sharing is really appreciated.
 



West Bromwich Albion's 34 points in 2004/05 make them the team with the lowest total to remain in the Premier League
