West Brom v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 01.11.22

[hampshire_exile]

I suppose after the highs & excitement of Sheff Utd, Preston & Coventry we were due another flat performance

Clearly you have drawn a veil over the Hull game - don’t blame you

 

[hertfordseasider]

We are poor in midfield tonight but not helped by hit and hope balls from the back. Wright isn't staking a claim for a place this half, he needs to up his game, Cary isn't getting the ball and Kenny is having a poor game tonight so far.

 

[JJpool]

Maxwell really does not like leaving the goal line

Yep never comes for the ball, very weak in commanding his area in that respect.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

I'd be tempted to get Lavery on. He sets an example with his work rate.

 

[seasidelytham]

Just look massively 2nd best so far, pretty clueless at times.

2nd best to a poor side

 

[King Billy]

Take a point now. This is poor.

 

[tangerinesince88]

CJ as well, why can’t he control a pass?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Cancel that, changed commentators!! Little Blackpool from the WBA commentators

 

[CAGU]

Passing backwards from promising positions then the big hoof!
Shit commentator, doesn’t he know who we are!

 

[seasidelytham]

Another case of trying to see it through to half time and hoping our team talk works betters than theirs for the 2nd half

 

[Graves]

It’s likely we’ll see him

I'd be tempted to get Lavery on. He sets an example with his work rate.

 

[Ollygon]

We're not playing well, and can't string more than a couple of passes together.

Having said that we aren't having the run of the ball either.

 

[Mark_GT]

Marv is awful on the ball bless him. Wright should be off at half time really.

 

[seasidelytham]

Marv is awful on the ball bless him. Wright should be off at half time really.

For who?

 

[JJpool]

X peteta

The hells wrong with this commentator.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

We're gonna nick this

 

[Vince McLean]

Poor stuff by us - looks like the plan is Park the Bus. May as well play Jezzer centre mid.

 

[Victorsponge]

Marv is awful on the ball bless him. Wright should be off at half time really.

For who?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Have Carey and Wright touched the ball yet?

 

[Ormergod]

Very poor first half.Toothless

 

[JJpool]

Marv is awful on the ball bless him. Wright should be off at half time really.

Yet some say he's good enough for the prem

 

[bill40]

Only BBc available at work and the text guy appears to have fallen asleep :(

 

[Southshoresteve]

Early start tomorrow - debating whether to take a Mogadon now or watch the second 45zzzzz

 

[The_Busted_Flush]

Anyone know where Ward is?

 

[tangerinesince88]

For who?

Thompson would do a better job than wright tonight, it’s like having a 15 year old in. Knocked off the ball constantly and no composure

 

[585 = never give up]

We are poor in midfield tonight but not helped by hit and hope balls from the back. Wright isn't staking a claim for a place this half, he needs to up his game, Cary isn't getting the ball and Kenny is having a poor game tonight so far.

No midfielders on the bench and when players are chasing shadows, it always results in a yellow card or worse. Interesting challenge for MA at half time.

 

[boabthebetter]

Horrible to watch.

 

[JJpool]

This has been utter garbage.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

Thompson would do a better job than wright tonight, it’s like having a 15 year old in. Knocked off the ball constantly and no composure

Yeah Thompson is just your man if you're after composure

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

shortest long throw ever

 

[Graves]

Have we had one of those shots on goal things yet?

 

[tangerinesince88]

Yeah Thompson is just your man if you're after composure

Not saying that at all but can’t see many other options

 

[Mark_GT]

Need to go 442 lavery for wright.

 

[TangerineTed]

Piss poor half. Only positive is that we are not losing.

 

[The_Busted_Flush]

For who?

On this display almost anyone. Even bring Lavery on for him and put Yates in the centre. I know it's desperate.

 

[seasidelytham]

GARBAGE

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

I'd be tempted to get Lavery on. He sets an example with his work rate.

Something needs to happen, we’re flat as fuck tonight

 

[South Stand '58]

All I can say is that the high press has worked.

 

[hertfordseasider]

Been a shocking first half, and even then Madine has had the best chance with that header on the far post.

MA needs to tell them that this game is there for the taking and they need to start to get the ball on the deck and take control of midfield because WBA are awful. I expect us to be much better second half.

 

[Seasider_Matt]

Wright is gash

 

[Bpooltown54]

Could be worse. Hopefully they have a rocket at half time

 

[Markobfc]

Toothless in midfield and chasing shadows. CJ back to his normal self

 

[JJpool]

We can't even pass at all, sat so deep, wba look like Barcelona on the ball in comparison, no misplaced passes, easy to cut through us, haven't created a lot with it yet but if one team was going to win so far its not us.

Need to improve massively, not good enough so far at all.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

Shite 1st half. Time for an Appleton bollocking

 

[Always tangerine]

Not much midfield on the bench.

 

[Seasider3610]

Nothing to beat here.

Just need to get some balls forward on the deck.

MA will sort it now

 

[Ollygon]

James Husband has been our best player.

 

[Scratcher67]

Some tired and sloppy play there.

Let's see what MA can change.

 

[1950`spoolfan]

What a boring load of rubbish. No control no flair no ambition. Drab in the extreme.

 

[Seasider_Matt]

Corbeanu on for Wright Madine off for Lavery
