That with five minutes remaining we have five players in our own half when attacking.

The fact that we've won from this position only three times in the past three years :facepalm:

Blindly hoofing the ball forward in the hope it goes to an Albion player. Last 30 seconds, fair enough but how many goals in the last few years have we scored from a long ball forward?

That when we get the ball out wide we always put our foot on the ball, slow it down, allow the opposition to get back and organised. Then pass it back inside losing all of the momentum.

The fact that we haven't got the fight and, or, quality in the team currently to get back into the game. It's almost as if a collective sense of doom descends upon the players.

Absolutely this. And that collective sense of doom seems to descend on the fans too. Only a couple of seasons back, when we a goal down, there was usually quite a volume increase from the Albion fans to get behind the team and encourage them to get back into the game. Nowadays, when we concede the fans (myself included) just seem to sit there and say oh bollox, that's that then.
