From the Albion board

[EagleDay]

"The team deserved a lot of criticism today… Blackpool were on the beach and probably the poorest side we have played this season other than Cardiff away, yet we laboured for 90 plus minutes without creating much or note."

Not according to the Albion fans I spoke to on the way home, and there were a good few who would disagree with that comment.

Brom were very poor

Brom were very poor

Yep, a Baggies fan on the local radio phone-in admitted they were lucky, if (as we know) we'd had a bit more quality we'd have got the win.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Well they should be beating teams like Blackpool and they got what they wanted but obviously they were not happy with the style in which they won.

Moaning bastards. They got lucky, Pool should have been 2 up by the time Carroll scored.

 

[EagleDay]

"Moaning bastads"............................I thought they were cardboard cutouts until they scored.

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

We played ok but tried too much 3/4 times in great positions every time hesitating to shoot. Bowler looks like he’s going and Dougall looks knackered.

How many times this season have we edged games but drawn/lost? Lots of areas to improve but been an great season and I think a section of our fans don’t actually realise how big an a achievement it’s been.

They should think more about booing their own players earning 40 grand a week, rather than worrying about poor little Blackpool more than matching them.
If Steve Bruce is still manager, they won't go up next season either.

Agreed.
Thankfully they weren't in evidence at the match today, from our singing after the final whistle you'd have thought we'd won.

Agreed.

And showed real support for the team after the match, even though we lost. I got the impression one or two of 'em were close to tears, or am I being soppy?

Yeh they weren’t at the match today but continue to post their negative ’I know better’ dross on here

Hmmm, bit soppy tbh

 

[Lytham_fy8]

The general support in this league has been ** shit, a lot of home crowds just come across as entitled bellends to be honest, I really really hope we don't become like that as we're going to be in this league or above for a long long time.

I thought Critchley for one, was in awe of the post match support. Considering we'd conceded a minute before, it really was a tremendous effort.

 

[Templeton_Peck]

I thought we were bloody brilliant today and would have been good value for three points...just my opinion like, but as a resident of Brum I've been to a few games at the Hawthorne's and following conversations with the locals they're in agreement that they're rubbish and we seem to have a clear way of playing - we just need to bide our time and let Neil do his thing. No more idiots please...

Agree as long as we keep critch (our best signing) then we will be just fine for a long time.

Can’t see it happening, after all the boycott years and we know the championship is a decent level for our football club I think we’re just happy to support our team loud and proud for 90 minutes as long as we get maximum effort like we did yesterday then it doesn’t matter if we lose.

Connolly too. I don't think they could quite believe their eyes ( and ears).

We should always remember its about encouragement and support.

Even if you have better players there's no divine right to win, although you can expect more from them.

As long as you get full effort you cant fault the desire. Producing moments of quality can be criticised but no point aiming negative comments directly at the team, maybe online after

Its about expectations though as when just in the prem you expect to come down and bounce back like they always do, with the quality and money they have.

So understandably they're disappointed, but no need to turn on some players.

 

[Scaramanga]

I genuinely couldn’t give two fucks what WBA fans think. They were ** bang average and their support was even worse.

Startling to see some of the WBA fans leaving the ground with 10 mins to go !
