Is our defense **** ?

To the OP:

We are only three points away from being out of the relegation zone, and, just to clarify for you, that is one win. What's the problem? Do you seriously expect us to be fighting for the title? Do you seriously expect us to be that much higher than we are after facing Man City, Man United AND Arsenal? And, to be honest, we only really got completely outplayed by one of those teams. It's easy to blame the defence, but come on, they've had 4 games together in this league, 3 against some of the toughest attackers you will ever face. If Reading, West Ham, Wigan, Norwich, or even teams like Fulham, Sunderland and West Brom had had our opening fixtures, they would be in a similar situation to us. There ARE three worse teams that us in the division. We have a Premiership-class attack, and, against teams that don't keep the ball as well as Arsenal and the Manchesters, we WILL damage them. Shut the **** up, you are a disgrace to our fanbase.
 
Our defense is quite poor but I find we're getting little luck too. A lot of the time a ball goes loose in our box it ends up at the feet of an attacker.

Good point Chaplow , I wholeheartedly agree my spelling and grammar are awful as well , gaps in commas , poor spelling etc etc , but I write mostly on a I phone and my eyes are crap , I really need to go and see the gigs fellow .
In short people who point out pedantic crap like that have only that to pull out , let them get on with it , their wife's are probably called Norma and they all have a 1992 Vauxhall Astra which is cleaned every Sunday...........

Are people seriously judging our defence from games against Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal? These teams put us under such pressure that mistakes are inevitable. I didn't see the Wigan game so can't comment on that one.

That was a balls up in defense/defence as well .
 
The last four games have gone and the points are lost. The important thing is how Nigel and the team deal with it. Never seen Nigel so low...there was a man who needed a hug<smooch> However, I'm pretty sure he woke up this morning in a more positive mood (not quite full tigger mode, but getting there), he will replay this game and find his negative and 4 positives (he may have to stretch a bit there), and sit down with the squad and discuss it. The team are encouraged to talk at these sessions and I'm sure there will be a bit of mud-slinging to get out of their systems before they can move on. The real test is to learn from these games and from those points we lost against the Manchester clubs.

Lets just see if they spend a 2nd season in the premiership , I think they will , buying to stay in the League , yes of course it is and that what we need to do for now . Gentle building will see us relegated .

That is of course possible , but we could do a lot worse than be the new boing boing baggies , for a season or two .

I don't think we will get relegated but I am sure that is a better option than spend madly and put the CLUB at risk .
 
Oh Devon is lovely but its exactly the example I was looking for , stable , nice . charming inoffensive , the Maureen or Nigel to Alexis or Chad .

My mate is a baggies fan and he is happy now but he was not then and there is no guarantee that that situation will work out for us . Far too much of a gamble .

Better gamble than spending money we don't have and putting the future of the club in doubt .

Remember the year we spent 9 million or so and lost to Derby in the play offs ?

Look where that led us ............
