created plenty of opportunities in the 1st half

No, I’m just watching it without the rage that appears to have taken over foxestalk. We played some good stuff tonight. We also did lots of things not so good. Particularly our finishing and our final ball. They got more chances as we had to take more risks in the 2nd half but we were the better team and deserved something. If you don’t think that then I’m guessing you stopped watching after 5 minutes.

Come on, we are not a poor side from a Championship perspective. Nor are West Brom though!

Those people saying lucky draw what game were you watching? West Brom basically played as the away team. They literally didn’t want the ball and tried to pack the defence and play on the break. We just were very poor in front of goal tonight. Other than that we totally dominated the game, the possession and the chances. West Brom are no mugs despite getting written off on here. They have real quality at this level. Iling Jnr, Johnston, Price, would be assets in our team, plus lots of prem experience at the back.

Do you mean a striker? What about Carranza? He’s barely set foot in the country ffs. Give him a chance.

This thread is not fun.

Wtf

Mavididi is having a good game so why would you take him off?

There’s been lots of end product. We’ve created lots of chances. There are 11 players trying to stop us scoring you know. We don’t have a divine right to win. We are however playing lots of fast positive football and trying to score.

Can’t believe the negative comments on here. We are playing some lovely football at times.

The criticism for Ayew is harsh when you consider his goalscoring MOTM performance against Oxford.

I thought for the majority of the game our central midfield dominated the game. Winks was the main man but I thought for today at least Soumare was an effective foil. I think the criticism today is more based on his overall time here than his actual performance today. Taken in isolation he was good.

Quite surprised with the reaction on here today. I thought Soumare played well. Found lots of space, took the ball on the half turn and played positively. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Plenty of Stone Island wearers are neither racist or drug users it should be pointed out.

Unfortunately we will have plenty of inexperienced refs with egos like today that will be influenced by fans, players and ultimately by unconscious bias. I think today for whatever reason we had a ref that managed the two teams differently.

The Oxford lads knew that the Ref was inexperienced, card happy and easily influenced. That was pretty obvious after the Bouba yellow. With that in mind Rambo was naive to go in for a robust tackle - this was one of those refs that you had to manage and in this case it would’ve been done by standing off the player and accepting he was gonna run with the ball. As soon as the ref was crowded out, the red was inevitable.

Turkey?

Looks great on the ball, loves a press BUT minimal end product. Buonanotte always looked more dangerous despite trying too hard after RVN arrived and inexplicably benched him. Bilal will probably find it easier in the slower Bundesliga, definitely doesn’t deserve the hype he’s had during this transfer window though. I thought a season in The Championship would’ve done him good. Instead it’s a fantastic opportunity for Rambo, a player with real potential hampered by a terrible injury.

Welcome Rambo!

I’m happy for him to stay in The Championship during this window. Good on the ball and he’ll be punished less for mistakes at this level. We need cover until January when maybe big Harry Souttar might be fit again.

That’s because he wasn’t played in the advance role that Enzo moved him to.

Fair point Jon. Presumably you took the opportunity to buy a newer faster fax machine so it couldn’t happen again anyway! 🤷🏻‍♂️

But KDH does provide goals and assists!
