Ward has now missed 2 very presentable goal chances Cardiff and here today why do we keep playing him? Buggered if I know. Rudoni has missed 2 even easier chances than Ward’s in the last 2 games. |

Bit of a freak result which didn’t involve much luck on our part. Let’s stick together and give it everything for the final 9 games. We can do this

Big mistake taking Headley off and moving Spencer, left Pearson against an out and out winger and right back Spencer against Wallace, truly unbelievable.

The squad is awful, anyone who is saying it’s a mid-table team is off their head. We can stay up, I’m sure of it. Huge clearout in the Summer. Love Pearson and the likes but we need to improve now. Breitenreiter will know what needs to be done. Can't imagine Breitenreiter staying if we're relegated. He can get a higher level job elsewhere. Maybe. I think he’ll be here, he’s buying into the club. Back him this Summer, get rid of the headwood and even cut into the muscle even if it hurts. We need surgery. Andre is the surgeon.  am I on about. Just keep believing! |

No one going to talk about how Nicholls distribution continues to cause problems? If he isn't whacking it out of play he's either scuffing it to the opposition or putting our own players under pressure. I guarantee it costs us atleast one goal before the end of the season as it seems to be getting worse by the game His kicking and distribution has seemingly got worse in recent months, dont know why, he couldnt put a foot wrong not that long ago. |

Headley has been injured and was his first proper game back; there might have been more to it than tactics. At least it wasn’t as bad as Moore playing Koroma as a left wing back |

Dreadfull start to a secobd half again.. Spencer isnt fit, Headley isnt fit, Hogg after a good first half disappeared and Lees legs totally went, along with Pearsons positional radar. Subs at 1 0 up at half time might have been a good move. You can make decisions even if you are winning and the opposition hasnt had a shot, its precisely why you would put fresh legs and intent onto the pitch, to continue that game plan and attitude. Alas we fell apart. The later subs were to spread out the appearance money?  |

To be fair to Matty, everyone was raving just a few weeks ago on how he handled Jack Clark and anas zaroury in the Sunderland and hull games. Both are excellent wingers. It’s not his natural position but he has shown he can handle it, albeit by the skin of his teeth sometimes. |

When the accounts come out, I bet we spent more that summer than the previous one. Carlos used it as an excuse. He knew he couldn't repeat what was a fluke season. Realised I quoted the wrong post with my earlier reply to impact. This was the one I meant to quote with this reply: What is it with Town fans? Wagner and Corberan oversaw by far our most successful seasons since the early 70s, yet they get little credit from some fans. Yet other managers, who achieved far less, are viewed far more favourably. I genuinely can't my head around it. I don't view anyone more favourably than Wagner. Then Warnock. If Carlos had been upfront, said he wanted to move on and waited for us to get compensation, I'd have had a lot more respect for him. Instead he waited until training started, resigned saying he had nothing lined up then rocked up at the dodgy owner of the team who'd beaten us in the play-off final. We got fuck all for it. The whole thing stunk. I also don't think anything I said about why he left isn't true. We spent more that summer. He either sued it as an excuse or had a seriously warped view of what we as a clue do in the transfer market. We had a 1 off year that wouldn't be repeated. |

Wasn't their equaliser a fooking mile offside, and should have not stood?
I know you can't really excuse the capitulation after this but that's very unlucky if so.
Hoggs moment of madness changed the Leeds game, and today felt very unfair if that was offside (Cardiff was shite inbetween though).
Lot of work to do.

It’s not his natural position but he has shown he can handle it, albeit by the skin of his teeth sometimes. Totally agree, but Johnson has shown since his loan move from Celtic he’s been a real threat, Clarke a bit of a one trick pony, Johnson is far more direct and pacy. I thought we played well, should have had more goals first half and kept playing in the second half with some really good chances, unfortunately we imploded at the back , although WBA certainly had the rub of the green, especially with first 2, the 3 could have killed someone in the Cowshed but flew in the net.On to Rovrum.

Just want to know what matos and koroma have done wrong? Danny Ward must be superb in training. Sorry, remind me in recent times what one-trick Koroma has done to deserve a place. I agree that Ward has stolen a living from Town for a long time but until Healey gets fit, if ever, we genuinely don't have a striker worthy of the name at the club do we ? Talking of one trick, perhaps Berzorg could learn to be a forward rather than a stationary foot on ball arrogant so and so. Impressive when he first did it, but only once. |

It was far tighter than it appeared at the game. I thought he was miles off but having seen it again you can sort of understand why the lino got it wrong. Far from the worst call you'll see this weekend The defending which followed it was far worse than his error |

Felt uncomfortable about feeling comfortable at half-time. We paid the price for not adapting to the tactical changes they made, and the game was gone as a quick as a flash. Big pressure game next week, if we lose against a team marooned at the bottom of the table then it's probably time to  the white flag. |

Thought he was at least a foot offside... the Sky commentators didn't agree with me though. They barely discussed it did they, idiots was miles offside He wasn't though was he. |

I meant miles off. Very very close and in real time very difficult to give. Other way around, I would expect us to get it too. |

Ward has now missed 2 very presentable goal chances Cardiff and here today why do we keep playing him? Buggered if I know. Rudoni has missed 2 even easier chances than Ward’s in the last 2 games. Rudoni gets into good scoring positions every game and usually fluffs them (to put it mildly). His tackling is generally weak, and his finishing absolutely appalling He should have scored at least 10 last season & 10 so far this one. Whilst Ward's miss off Rudini's rebound was poor, the brutal truth is that Rudoni should have absolutely buried that chance - the ball shouldn't have been anywhere other than the back of the net. Rudoni is for me completely overrated & typifies the Hoyle era one for the future project signings - usually signings that don't work out. Weak tackler, garbage finisher and someone who can usually be relied upon to give the ball away in dangerous positions. |

My view on the game is that it wasn't a 4-1 game. As teams the performances were fairly balanced perhaps West Brom as a team were slightly better. However they just had the individual quality that we didn't. Our goal was well taken and couldn't be begrudged and a second in the first half wasn't too far away. Their first goal looked offside but we defended it poorly. The second wasn't clear from where I was but looked again like the defending should have been better. The third was an incredibly strike and wasn't really preventable and the fourth was Pearson simply being outpaced. Burgzorg and Rudoni also should have scored in the second half. There was the encouragement that we made good chances by breaking them down and I think we'll win next and I think we'll stay up. Also Breitenreiter's tactics were fairly spot on

West Brom looked very average first half mainly due to our pressing, then looked like world beaters second half. We did have some good chances though. Burgzorg as frustrating as ever second half after a great goal. They simply have better quality players which is a result of years of under investment by town.
On the plus side Balker is a class act, if him & Helik stay fit I’m confident we’ll stay up. We badly need to give Rotherham their 10th defeat in a row next Sat to stay in touch and get some confidence back or it’s gonna be a massive uphill struggle

Oh dear. I've no idea how we have gone from the performances we were turning out under Worthington to these last 2. Fitness is certainly an issue so maybe we need a rethink of tactics as after one half of giving it a go we were fucked for the second half. It's happened two many times.
Pearson and Lees have been good servants for this club but they shouldn't he in the team. Pearson should be brought on at centre back when we need to close a game down. Lees a useful reserve. Balker and Helik have to start together now.
Rudoni, I like him and if all 11 players had his energy we wouldn't be where we are. He creates naff all though and he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo. Time for a rest. Controversial I know but I think with a sustained run in his favoured position and some confidence I'm his shell I can see Wiles ultimately contributing more in terms of goals and assists.
We desperately need a new CM and we need Healey back and firing because unless we start converting out chances we are down.

I think Pearson just played him onside and then didn’t track the goal scorer. Very close and without VAR you’ll never know for sure. It’s gone now anyway. On to the next one! |

Spencer, who could look along the line, played him onside. Young player - young player mistake.

Wiles could well end up delivering more than Rudoni but when we are in crunch time Rudoni has a lot more involvement both defensively and in driving us forward. Whilst he won't deliver the killer pass he is so important when it comes to linking the back and forward lines |

Comparing this squad with Buxton's squads in the 70's and 80's, how come Town players nowadays can't cope with 2 matches a week without getting "tired" or injured or sick ? There are bigger squads and more substitutions nowadays. Back in 1982-83, 9 of Buxton's squad played 40+ league matches and 9 or 10 cup matches
