[Albion] 25 points dropped from winning position

It’s an odd stat, that people read a little too negatively.

Remember that in order to drop 25 points, from those positions, you’ve had to actually TAKE the lead in all those games. There are clubs in this league that dream of ever having those leads to throw away...

This sort of nonsense has happened in so many matches this season.

But as Alan Hanson said, you can’t win anything with kids.

Your point is completely valid, but maybe not tonight, that was a worldie finish unfortunately. Any other day and that shot goes wide or hits the post.

As a result of crap defending IMO.

We've only had a two goal lead three times this season;

x2 vs Newcastle
x1 vs Leeds.

At this level, you need a 2nd goal to kill the game off.

If that was the only time we'd conceded a few minutes after scoring I'd agree but this is another annoying little pattern that needs to be remedied in the close season.

A lot going on in that goal, a real hash of a clearance but it looked like Webster was taken out and possibly White too, so no pressure on the ball. A lot of Premier League quality players should be able to at least work the keeper from there given time and space.

Lots of things could have happened to stop that going in.

White originally bangs it against Bissouma. We give the winger a load of time. White rolls around on the floor instead of looking for the block. We give Benrama a load of time on the edge of the box. Sanchez is standing too far to the right.

Not going to criticise the defence generally, (though we didn't do that well). It's the general pedestrian approach to attacking that cost us the chance of 3 points. In this league you have to expect to concede the odd decent strike. You need to get your own good goals.

Part of the problem is also that we have had so many defensive injuries this season that there’s barely a game in the last three months where Potter could bring a defender on to see out a game. I know that’s not the case tonight but could have made a huge difference in some of the games we have dropped points in.

What’s the pattern, last league game it happened in was Wolves on Jan 02nd. You’re never more vulnerable than when you’ve just scored us a timeless adage because it’s true and not unique to us, just like there’s more goals in the last 10mins as teams take risks, players get tired, more mistakes.

Totally agree need to work on concentration, game management, plus other things like scoring, just not sure there is that much of a pattern.

The fact that we have been in so many winning positions, shows how far we have come

Rightly so, who would or could be harsh on us tonight? Crystal Palace fans?

What a load of tosh! If we converted those winning positions it would of shown how far we have come. We have more than likely gone backwards in league position and points!
