Good point given our injuries. We r having to rely on a kid and a player who's not played for 2 years in central midfield and don't have one decent winger or forward to bring off the bench
 
2 points lost. Made them better than they are. We are a very thin squad and surely, surely gets addressed on Jan 1st. Fearing the Makems game too.

Disagree - 1pt gained. With that starting 11 & bench we are mid table at best. So decent result.
 
Fair result with the team we had out,we gave everything but were guilty of too much sloppy and untidy play at times.We didn't create too many chances although should have had a second goal and a penalty.
We are not good enough to go up without clever and quality recruitment in the window,at least 4 players and then trusting injuries and suspensions ease.
At present I think play offs is the most I can see at best.
 
I only saw the 2nd half but apart from Brooks the quality elsewhere was poor. Its genuinely incredible that we are top but also concerning with how far we are off looking anything like a premier league team. We look mid table championship at times.
 

I think that is number 10 so he misses the Sunderland game - prat. Dunno why everyone rates him. A bit like Vinny Jones - useful but overall is he really worth it given the damage he does to his own team.

This is getting tedious. The wheels have fell off, of course. But I've watched 10 games on tv this season and I'm yet to see us win!

I'll be watching on new years day though, UTB
 
Will happily take that. Did not lose, as I expected we would. Please tell me, Wider not bringing BBD back, but McBurnie. No, no no.

Unbelievable reaction on here!, considering the team put out, the bench & opposition that was a well earned point. We can't recruit for a few more days so get behind the team, we're top FFS!!
 
Thought Gilchrist improved in the second half,and after the first 10-15 minutes of it we finally got closer to them in our half and started closing down space and getting feet in,Brooks our best by a mile,Davies was marginally better in the second half but if he's a regular starter in midfield,we are really struggling in that department.
 
That's kind of my point, if Hamer wasn't already in the book he gets a card there, just refs making up this artificial rule that it takes a higher level of foul to give a second yellow compared to a first kept him on the park
True. Personally think Atwell felt he had already taken enough grief from the crowd and didn’t want the inevitable torrent of abuse.

If he's such a snowflake that he carries out his job badly to avoid being called names then he should probably reconsider his choice of profession
 
Definitely 2 points dropped but a fair result in the end. West Brom have a team full of experienced mid to top end champ players and I expect them to finish in the play offs.
Molumby is a proper shit house, the like of whom we could do with to get a grip of the midfield. Dirty cunt tho and lucky to still be on the pitch at the end.
Sorry but Brewster - as much as he may be a nice lad, needs to fuck off now.
 
I think it's worth prefacing this by saying that WBA were poor and there for the taking. Several talented players who can't play together. Without a manager.

A point isn't the worst result considering our threadbare squad and tiredness but we were largely poor. Brooks was the only real bright spark but his decision making is that of a player his age. Chuffed he got his first goal though. Our midfield was tired and poor and they went through us way too often. Our defenders had very little cover but we weren't punished. It was another poor performance all round really. Too many mistakes and once again I'm not sure what the plan is going forward. Could have gone either way in the end.

Cooper - 6 - Pushed a ball straight into Fellow's path first half which he somehow missed. Didn't really have the best of games today with his all-round play.
Burrows - 6 - Put in a few good crosses going forward and stuck to his task. He makes things happen and fairly solid at the back.
Robinson - 5 - Did a few usual blood and thunder challenges but he looks slow and dithers too much. I thought we was quite weak today.
Anel - 5.5 - Looked fairly solid had to cover a fair few things. Nothing special but glad he's back. Loses a mark for stupidly pulling his man to the ground from a corner. Could have easily been a pen.
Gilchrist - 5.5 - Another difficult game defensively but yet again little help. Got forward much more and caused a fair amount of chaos on the edge of their box.
Peck - 4 - Fairly anonymous. Looks absolutely shattered at the moment.
Davies - 6 - Made a lot of mistakes but also was the one looking to take a chance to get moves started. Had a fair few shots today and you'd expect better.
Hamer - 3.5 - Very lucky not to get two yellows. Wilder really needs to sort out his disciplinary issues as we're going to lose him for two games very soon. I thought in general he huffed and puffed and looked a bit disinterested. Needs to be played more centrally.
O'Hare - 5 - Lovely backflick for the goal which he then replicated a couple of times but outside of a few tricks he's far too lightweight and doesn't offer enough.
Brooks - 7 - Great to see him get his first goal and he gave us the energy we've been badly lacking. He was the one causing them issues. Needs to work on his decision making and end product, but easily our best player.
Moore - 5 - Had a couple of chances which he needs to do much better with. I thought Bartley won most of their battles.

Subs:

Brewster - 1 - Inept
 
In the cold light of day, I think we all, every single one of us, are surprised and very happy at being in the top 3 at the end of 2024.

So, in sitting back, we have to temper our criticism and disappointment and realize the difficulties that the club and players have battled through to get to the top 3.

Unless we get some superior players in in the JTW, which we will not, top 6 should be our ultimate goal and see how we handle the playoffs.

But certainly, top 2 is beyond us.

They looked easier on the eye but I wouldn’t say they carved us open.

Most of their attacks were set up by our midfield.

We are industrial at best but we caused them problems 2nd half just couldn’t convert anything.

Even when fully fit/energised the squad were over achieving and the extent of the injuries we have means we are coping (admirably) with fringe players and U18.

Let’s keep things in perspective as we head in to the Jan window
