Roy's View From... View From West Brom

View From West Brom — The View From

"Happy with a point given our lack of Headcoach. Could have won it had we taken our chances which were far more than the Blades" "Excellent performance really. Poor opening 10 minutes where it looked like we were going to get thumped. Got back into it and was probably the better team overall."...

Glad we won't be playing these again this season.

Cheers Roy.

Cheers roy, they dont like wilder, but i agree that he does come across as a bit of a dick at times, needs to keep humble

“Brewster is worth the same as the whole Albion team.”

Thinks he’s confused between “worth” and “cost”

He cost £20+mil
He’s worth the price of a Barry Bannan hair cut

 

[originaltrueblade]

Dark Arts are this lot on drugs. Really are a deluded lot

Thanks Roy

a Barry Bannan hair cut

 

[coaxingstar71]

More Wilder abuse, apparently for saying they are a decent side, as baffling as some of the ref decisions in the game.

 

[Caseh]

We are quite good at "dark arts".

Molumby could/should have had about 6 yellow cards.

Another boring set of Championship 'also-rans' that are 'better than The Blades'.

Obviously, they don't ever bother to look at a league table.

Draw was a fair result on the day, though imo.

utb

 

[moody1889]

I have to say they have no need to talk about dark arts with Molumby in the team is literally one of the worst in the championship for i lt so it is like kettle calling the pot.

 

[jono_t2000]

Not sure how they think they were the better team.

They probably dictated the middle of the park a little better, but in terms of actual threat, we had 40% more shots than them, double the amount of big chances and almost double their xG.

Only one team looked like they would go on and score a 2nd.. and it wasn't them

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Have to say I'm not really arsed about their comments, I'm more concerned over our injury list.
Have to say a draw was probably the fairest result to be honest.

 

[Nade]

I think Wilder was commenting at their bench as a nod to the board to emphasise that we need to bring numbers in. Taking his words at face value though, I think their criticisms of it are fair. We did bring on a striker we paid £20m+ for, even if he isn't worth that now.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

West Brom - if draws were football teams. If the colour beige was a football club. Such a boring club. Boring fan base summed up by Adrian Chiles and his dreary monotonous voice - I need a drink just thinking about West Brom, yawn.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Thanks Roy, but I'm going to stop reading these, cos it just makes me hate people I don't even know. I'm never going to raise my vibrational consciousness to Ascension standard at this rate.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

A lot of fans of other clubs don't bother with researching the club they are playing, with the result being outrageous bias towards their own team.
I thought it was a decent game between 2 fairly evenly matched teams, but if we had our full compliment of starters on the pitch I would have expected a win. Why they don't see the irony of saying we are "masters of the dark arts" when they have Mulumby is puzzling to say the least.

 

[elgoog44]

reading that seemed like it was a view from wendy!! I think they might have watched it through a Deludamol filter, just like they dish out at the sty!

Two pens they were lucky were not given, and they said about Hamer, but there number 8 Malumby lived a charmed life as cynical foul after cynical foul, but hay ho!

 

[Bladesince59]

“Brewster is worth the same as the whole Albion team.”

5 bob then.

 

[davidblade]

the foul on Callum O hare was a definite penalty ok it was shoulder to shoulder but their player just played ohare without trying to play the ball penalty all day long ref was a cunt

 

[AWetFlannel]

What's funny is, Devante Cole would have easily got on our bench and been subbed on today if we'd had him.

There's no doubt Swift, Wallace, Diangana etc would have started over Brooks and Peck.

 

[BerksBlade]

We are quite good at "dark arts".

Molumby could/should have had about 6 yellow cards.

Molumby & Bartley both got away with persistent fouling. And Styles was trying to get Hamer sent off.

“Have a habit of employing pricks for managers this lot”

Yep. Bryan Robson springs immediately to mind. Hic.

It was for me too, yes it was shoulder to shoulder but he was miles away from the ball when he did it, anywhere else it is a foul.

 

[BarcaBlade]

Thanks for another year, Roy.

From this selection, WBA fans pretty much as dislikeable as their team.
I enjoyed their jeering of Hamer at one point when he pinged it too long, I'm guessing based on their legendary footballing rivalry with Coventry.

When those threads come up about which teams people dislike the most, there's very understandably a lot of votes for Leeds or Forest, but for me, if I actually remembered they existed, I'd perhaps put WBA above both of those. Somebody remind me the next time that thread comes around.

 

[Blacksea]

Unfortunately for them they missed a golden chance of 3 points,all of our opponents now have the advantage of playing us at the best possible time for them, no matter what problems they might have,and it's likely to be that way until the end of January.
They just were not good enough to beat us, despite all the experience of their starters and who they had to come on from the bench.
Maja has gone off the boil and Johnston was barely noticeable all game,these are the 2 that got them off to a good start this season,Fellows is decent but screwed up his chance against us.

If it was the other way round and say Robbonuad done it to one of there's, I'd take the view it wasn't a pen because when can a shoulder brace ever be an attempt to win the ball because you're going in with your shoulder! What the official guidance on what is fair as a shoulder barge out of interest?
