[Albion] Positives from the last 2 games

That is because he is not consistently good enough at this level and too many conveniently forget the numerous key mistakes he commits. He cannot defend at all ( see last night ) and keeps overplaying and losing the ball. Not just a few times but over and over again. He will not learn to adapt his game. We need more consistent, solid players at this level.

Agreed, sadly.

Just under half way in the league of 14

It's a struggle, but focussing on the Chelsea game....Bissouma looked VERY good. He's developing into one of the best midfielders in the bottom half of the Prem. If we stay up I think he'll be an absolute star next season. There were several really excellent raking cross-field balls from Dunk - he can see a pass better than most decent midfielders. Andone looked lively. It was good to see Bruno back. If March hadn't gone off I think we would have held it to 0-0 at half time, and it MAY have been a different game. But Knockaert is a luxury we can't afford against the top teams. Even against Palace his defending was woeful.

I think we're good enough to take the game to most teams in the bottom half of the table....the quality IS there. But we need a bit of luck, too.

Muzza didn’t start, so the NSC boot-boys couldn’t blame their usual scapegoat for yet another defeat. The youth and mobility of Andone made no difference to a toothless Albion attack ... due to non existent midfield support and creativity.

I think you need to take into account who we were up against - we could barely get the ball off them, let alone put together some meaningful attacks.

Unforgivable against Southampton. Understandable against Chelsea.

Another positive. Bwian is in Thailand so I don't have to listen to his drivel. The moany old tosspot.

He was such a lovely Gentleman and so proud to have played for the Albion (200 times). He carried his 57-58 (I think) promotion medal around with him and loved showing it to anyone who was interested.

A class act. Put Archer et al to shame.

Cardiff haven't made inroads into the 5 point cushion, and two relegation spots are filled.

Cardiff were narrowly beaten by Chelsea !!

 

[Napier]

Our goal difference, compared to Cardiff's, only suffered by one.

I really haven't been bothered about either game, I'm all-in for the cup

And also due to playing a team that's had hundreds of millions of pounds invested in it and which is a lot better than us, player for player.
