Wiles is the biggest disappointment for me this season. He seems completely unable to do what we needed him to do in midfield.
Sorba through the middle lacks the vision and creativity needed.
Kasumu & Hogg offer bite but little else.
Person & Lees lack a yard of pace
Add all these flaws into the same team and we are in a mess, squad-wise.

We've actually missed some right chances today. we've only had the last few chances because West Brom have stopped playing Burgzorg had a good chance early in second half so that’s not exactly right that WBA have stopped playing in fact they look like they could add to their tally too

Only Town could spend £3 Million on strikers, and still be calling out for a striker who can put chances away.

January signings fooked us up. We needed quality and what we got players who have spend more time on the physio’s table than playing. Radulovic looks soft as shit.. ill one week, bad back this week.

4-1 to Carlos is terrible. Considering the dull stuff we played under him we’ve made them look like Liverpool. Also the lack of quality of the squad has really been shown here. No composure, slow, nobody can pass a ball. It’s a wonder we are still in the fight. Outside of the 20 mins they've had, i've not been that impressed with them. In transition they're sloppy, void of ideas. Their setup is fairly defensive and compact. The scoreline is so momentum based, it's wild. As soon as that bullet of a third went in, that truly killed us. They've got away with this today. Sounds very familiar to his second season with us. There were games a bit like their first half today where we just couldn't get out of our half. Momentum completely carried us that season as well. I think they're very well drilled but technically quite limited really.

Have to try and remain positive. This has not been a 4-1 drubbing. We've missed some clear cut chances. 1st half we were excellent. Bad call from linesmen, and then 20 mins of WBA putting us to bed. (Which would have been different) if Dela puts his away to make it 2-1. We've looked dangerous for a lot of this game. We were not excellent first half. We closed them down well but on the ball we were crap again especially in the final third

If we weren’t in the big poo poo we are now. Now we have to hope other teams fail to get results and we beat Rovrum where we never do well.

Only town fans could watch us get shred to pieces in the second half then criticise the opposition manager that took us to Wembley a few years ago. Any sane fan would have CC back here in a heartbeat.
We are bang in trouble after today.

Darren Moore completely ruined us. Wiles should have been given a chance to get fit to begin with rather than playing, he played himself into extremely bad form, and no confidence. Lack of pace has been apparent for years at the back. Balker, Headley and Spencer change that up. Our new signings: Balker, Headley and Bojan, need to have a pair of bollocks and be available. We're in a relegation battle and we need fighters.

That heaps a lot of pressure on the Rotherham game now, which if we play like we did against Cardiff we won’t win.

He's just shown in that second half what a tactical genius he is, completely changed the way they were playing and made a mockery of us. He got this side of ours admittedly plus Colwill to a Playoff final, he's a superb coach whether we like it or not.

This is what’s cost us! We also needed strikers and despite spending millions they somehow got that wrong too!

I don't think we will escape this time. Do we deserve to escape again? It’s remarkable how we’ve somehow got away with it by some miracle or another. Appointing such a useless cretin like Darren Moore and keeping him so long - that stupidity alone means they deserve to go down. Maybe we could do with a spell in the 1st division, we’re miles of anything consistently good at the moment.

Whilst the squad is weak the starting XI is not but we do lack goals (still)
Basically 45 mins have made people state that Pearson is L1 & Hogg and Lees are passed it.
Every player was poor second half and we are possibly still feeling the affects of the Leeds performance as we have had 3 lethargic half’s of football since!
Rotherham we need to go there and win and things will look different again.

Absolutely fell apart.
Massive disappointment.

There's a soft belly in this squad, soon as we concede we retreat deeper and deeper, vacating the entire midfield. Then with 8 men back nobody knows who's marking who and we get utter chaos.
We prefer to play a slow dawdling low energy game despite what successive managers trying to quicken things up
Basically, we're unmanageable.

What a daft post- players who are actually injured need to grow a pair of bollocks, but the not injured player, who's been shit all season, deserves our sympathy because he was injured last season? Never heard the same excuse trotted out for a player as many times as with Wiles this season, he's absolute dogshit. Lazy and cowardly, turns up for about 5 minutes per game and otherwise spends the game actively hiding from the ball.

Surely one of the lessons from this season, particularly when Worthington was in charge, is that we are most effective when we play on the front foot.
We created chances today, but only when we pressed or played. At the start of the second half we stopped playing. Hardly competed two passes for 20 wins. Just sat deep.and lumped the ball up the pitch.
Town have been doing this alot in recent seasons. Only playing when the score is level or we are behind. We're crap on the ball, but we're also not good enough to sit and hang onto results. We're not good enough to pick and choose when we play.
Decisions went against us today, but the momentum had already shifted at the start of the second half. I couldn't see us holding out because we'd stopped playing.
All is not lost, but we're in a worrying situation.

Two goals in five minutes that should not have stood completely change that. That gave West Brom momentum, set us back, and left us chasing when we should not have been.
Of course we opened up and we’re exposed. We were trying to get back in a game we were winning, fairly. They had technicians who got round us and in behind and made life more of a challenge.
Fact is that we created as many chances at least. We were not clinical enough. We got no luck. We weren’t as bad as 4-1 suggests at all, but that’s the score and we’re now going to Rotherham needing a win more than we should.
But it all goes back to a blind linesman and a blind referee who shifted the game against us. Yet again.

We prefer to play a slow dawdling low energy game despite what successive managers trying to quicken things up Basically, we're unmanageable. Because it has worked. Lees, Pearson, Hogg are the spine of the side and all struggle with the ball. Ask them to play a different way and they panic. If we press high, there’s a higher chance of them getting caught out. We need Balker to stay fit and partner him with helik and potentially one of them. Partner Matos with Kasamu and maybe we can play that way. First half was good, but their quality in their team and manager came through in the second half. To those who are against Carlos, I’d be much happier having ‘boring’ wins and finishing third.

Need to get Balker into this side and Matos. Matos not playing is a joke. Like someone said, Chelsea have probably warned us off playing him too many minutes. Heard from someone sitting near me that André isn't happy with Matos not following his instructions in training. As always with these things, it could be bullshit
