[Albion] Time for change!

It's simple, we are a couple of points outside of the relegation zone, and something needs to change. Our home form is dreadful, and we are neither creating or converting our chances.

At 0-1 up today we should have been more resolute, but let Spurs back in meekly, leading to another defeat.
It's all well and good playing expansive football, and people cooing over it, but it is a results game.

Was there anything really broken when Houghton was sacked?

My word, such a short memory.

We must have gone 3 or 4 games in a row under Hughton in the second half of the season without a single SHOT on goal. Compare the stats to literally every game this season so far. We're incomparably better in terms of possession, chances created and shots on goal.

We're halfway through the season and we're doing well, despite some bad luck our heads are still well above water. Nothing needs to change. We've been great this season and we will continue to pick up points throughout the 2nd half of it.

Try reading the league table.

Well if we aren’t creating (don’t agree) you can’t convert ..so unsure of your point there

Try Hughton and if you don’t know that one I see little point in going further..oh and I’m a big CH fan ...merry Christmas

So if things are just as bad now, then in your timeline another change is needed again.

Where have I said that things are as bad ?

Let’s start with today then maybe..... 11 shots, 5 on target for both teams .... last season our 6 shots to their 29 shots ...... 45% possession against 21% in the same game last season.

We are far better than we were under CH last season, we just aren’t clinical enough at the moment.

Possession doesn't win games though does it, goals do.
