very poor second half,

Riley got targeted as weak link and I think it showed gd propect but was lacking composure today, to many crosses got in.

Cahill had his work cut out with long who won way to many headers in the second half.

KD cant perform at the intensity he needs for 90mins.

Ngog looks weak and lightweight, think hes had enough already

I like petrov he creates chance and is postive, but tuncay must be really shite in training not to get a look in.

Kakuta must be counting down the days to get back to london, coyle must not rate him.

Having said the above if Mark Davies had but that chance away just before half time I think we would be looking at a different result.

If Ngog is what we have got then play him with klasnic from the start, and sit tuncay behind.

Jussi
riley cahill wheater robbo
mumba (away) eagles (home) davies coker
tuncay
klasnic ngog

oh well we will just have to win every home game 5-0 from now on to stay up.

From half-time on we looked like a clueless bunch of Sunday leaguers. Possesion (all 5% of it) was pass it back and back and to Jussi who whacked it straight back to them. Must be that new method, long-ball. Thought we'd tried that and given it up in favour of passing. We eventually got what we deserved, nothing. Thomas ripped us to ribbons and we couldn't get the ball, never mind keep it. A fortnight's break and we had all the energy of a team of hippos in a mud bath, well, maybe not that much. Outplayed all over the field and as dangerous as a pink blancmange. We couldn't find a space in the Sahara Desert and didn't have one player capable of passing an opponent. Our midfield game was a joke. Game plan?, we had none. Hoofball is all.

Not often I say disgraceful about the Whites but I'll indulge today. Sickening. We either get a grip and compete or we might even deserve relegation.

If Tango is a Mr Glum Pants - then we really ought to shut up shop!

Harsh to blame Riley, he did ok. The fault was the useless shit in front of him! Mavies from Corrie would have done better!

[Gail Platz]

Just got in, we're back at square one, that was as "uninterested" as it was against Swansea a few weeks back.

I don't blame Coyle for starting with the same side that beat Stoke 5-0, who can blame him for that? However, the players didn't perform. Eagles was non-existent, Mark Davies lost the ball every time he had it, and Kevin Davies was back to his usual sack of shit self.

I remember two shots all game, the penalty and then one half arsed toe poke into the side netting by Kevin Davies. Speaking of that toe poke, it was fecking embarrassing, I was actually embarrassed. I put my head in my hands, why do we have to put up with this crap? Surely no other team in the country has anyone this bad at kicking a football, he kicks it like a five year old primary school kid in the playground. Not only that, once he toe poked it into the side netting, he just did a carthorse slow jog back into position! No emotion or anything, maybe he thought it was a good attempt?

Their second goal, it couldn't have been any more obvious that was coming even if they'd put a big sign up "WE ARE NOW GOING TO SCORE A GOAL". We were getting absolutely pounded and I would have been amazed if we hadn't conceded in that 5-10 minute hammering of our defence.

Fair play to West Brom, they closed us down, gave us no time or space on the ball and they won every 1 on 1 battle across the pitch. A typical Hodgson side, well drilled and they make it difficult to break them down.

[TANGODANCER]

I'm not defending anything about the team, the performance or Davies GP, but I like things straight and that wasn't either a toe-poke or half-arsed. The ball was already past his line of shot when he hit it and he was being leaned on by a defender and I'd defy even Anelka or Drogba to have got it on target from there..You may see it differently, but that's what I saw.

I was literally on the end, next to the West Brom fans i.e. in line with the centre of the pitch so I had a very good view of it. It was a shocker. He simply does not know how to kick a ball. Thank God Klasnic took the penalty, that goal might be crucial if it goes down to goal difference at the end of the season.

[William the White]

I'm back.

I will write the report I promised.

it will be short.

I don't want to write it.

no one wants to read it.

This was horrible...

Was laughing my balls off at this but you are right mate, i was on row F and saw the pathetic attempt of a shot from k.davies it was one of the worse shots i've ever seen you cut across the ball from that angle its not hard, steven hawking would of been more useful today than him. Coyle makes changes to late like you said you could see 2nd half that they were going to score we always crumble under pressure changes were needed just before they scored. Why do we timewaste when we are losing, jussi never see's anybody's runs instead he holds the ball for ages then decide's to roll the ball in front of him before kicking it to the hindrance k.davies then it bounces of his head then comes straight back. Coyle is tactically inept no plan b or c when we go behind he hasnt got a clue what to do, we need a more experienced manager because there's major problems at the club we are on a massive decline.

[truewhite15]

An old phrase springs to mind...

When it's good, it's really, really good, but when it's bad, it's shite. Or words to that effect.

[Gravedigger]

We're fortunate in that, as in the past few seasons, apart from the top 4/6 this again is a shit league. Couple of wins and we're mid table. I still fancy us to survive but again only just. Transfer window striker and someone who can work their gonads off and we'll be reet. Otherwise that sonofabitch who sold me these rose tinted specs'll get 'em shoved where the sun don't shine.

Jesus christ Coyle's tactics weren't entirely to blame. He played the same team that won our last game 5-0 and for the first 45 they played well. After the second Albion goal it was obvious Eagles was spent and Davies was no good, so he substituted both players. We needed a goal so he substituted one of our holding midfielder's for a more attacking option. As a whole the reason we lost was, for the final 45, the players looked like they couldn't be arsed and they DIDN'T perform. Not just Kevin Davies or whoever is the scape goat this week, the team as a whole could not get a grip of the game in the second half and looked like they had never played together before.

I rate Ngog but today's performance showed nothing to excite or to prove he deserves a starting place any more than our captain. I will say though as he is around 10 years younger than Kev, and we just spent 4 mill on the lad, I think now is the time to back him straight for a few games straight for the full 90 haul. In the same berth I believe Tuncay should deserve a few games under his belt so for the Everton match i'd either play N'Gog in a 4-4-2 or Tuncay in a 4-4-1-1 both with Klasnic at the helm. From a motivantional stand point i'd also love to see Reo Coker made captain. Would be a great public sign that Coyle has acknowledged the lack of ambition in the side and is making strides to put it right.

Although we were very, very bad in the second 45 (especially in our lack of build up play) WBA were also pretty impressive and would have given any team a rough second half. All we need is a little consistency and a bit of drive and ambition when times are rough.

Defence much higher priority, defensively-capable midfielders after that...

all, without exception, prepared to work the gonads to dried peas...

Well pretty much we are back into Megson times, with dissenters getting angry at the folk who say support the team.....plenty of that going on around me.

Just stood there in disbelief at how clueless our 11 and manager are collectively.

What caused all the fighting amongst our own fans on the stands after the final whistle?

There wasn't anything in particular, everyone just seemed a little glum from the second half and some of the Albion fans were rubbing salt in the wounds (and rightly so!). Guess some nice people felt they had to take out their frustration somehow and so the in fighting begun, didn't look owt serious jus a little pushing here n there. I was too busy trying to find the right coach back with me old man.
