Match Day Thread WBA v Hull City

But stats don't tell the full story, remember?

 

Connolly is obviously on the 'naughty step'?

 

Unfortunately that could be said of all the forward players bar delap/Connolly

 

Did you mean fell to the ground again? He does seem to do it a lot.

 

Let’s be honest, we’ve beaten ourselves today, mistake for the first, poor defending for the second and even worse defending with a lucky deflection for the third.

Too many players off the pace, Vaughn looks like he’s never played football before and Tufan clearly isn’t match fit.

I’d have taken 6 points from the last three games, no shame in losing to West Brom, just a shame we’ve done it to ourselves.

 

Seems like he's joined the likes of Sinik in the pecking order. Lad can't buy a game.

 

Given how off it delap has been today, to not bring on Connolly speaks absolute volumes

 

He’s got to do soemthing when he’s driving forward with no help.

 

But apparently nothing has happened between the manager and Connolly so it cant be that...

 

We've shuffled off our Morton Coyle !

 

He wouldn’t have added anything today. Delap has had no help all game, and Connolly isn’t a striker you want leading the line with no help

 

Coyle, arguably having one of his better games; let's switch him to LB where we know he gets exposed. Genius.

 

Really need to recruit at Xmas to improve this team , we can’t seem to get ahead comfortably and stay there . Midfield and forwrds not scoring enough when we are up against st it

 

I was shot down by you and others for bringing up what I'd heard re Connolly after the last game.....

 

Or. Should we be getting more out of the players we already have? Not like Acun has scrimped.

 

They certainly don’t. Everton had 19% possession but were 1-0 up until an 84th minute own goal levelled it for Brighton.

 

Yep, 5m+ for Ally, Sinik and Tufan. Money well spent.

 

Indeed, the only stat that matters is the score. That's not particularly flattering either.

 

Tufan doesn’t look interested. Wouldn’t be against him being one that moves on in January. Allahyar and Sinik too, huge wages and decent money in/off the wage bill.

 

Ffs every attack they have Fletch is basically begging for them to score.
