The morning after the night before

[MrRAWhite]

I am afraid its looking like Stoke were knackered from their European trip Syd. Hope I am wrong and it all comes good against WBA and we smash them but I am not holding my breath. At least Richardson showed he can strike a ball, an ability lacking last night in most of our attack.

I think that Richardson does know where the net is, and I would like to see him play more often in the role that Sessegnon is at present, with Sessegnon playing in his normal midfield role.

Richardson was better than Bramble who made several mistakes, Brown who's defending for the 2nd goal was terrible and OShea who looked off the pace and was beaten several times by the winger which ultimatley lead to the 2nd goal. Vaughan had a terrible game, did not create anything, constantly passed the ball sideways or backwards and did not make any decent tackles. Gardener and Bendtner were the only 2 for me that tried to create and have a go but they were living off poor service.

Ji looked woeful when he came on, he has no left foot at all and there were several times when he should have crossed the ball first time with his left and he just hesitated and went back on his right into a worse position.

For me the team for West brom should be:

either:

Migg
OShea Turner Brown Colback
Larson Catts Gardener Sess
Richardson Bendtner

or
Migg
Oshea Turner Brown Richardson
Larson Catts Gardener Sess
Wickham Bendtner

I personally think Richardson would be much better up the pitch using his pace to get beyond Bendtner and run at the defense, or we have to give Wickham a chance and not slaughter him if it does not work. Either way it needs to be 442 and this 4411 is not working. We need Catts back, there was not leader on the pitch last night and no-one breaking up the play, Catts has had 2 weeks off he should be 100% fit now and hungry to put in a performance.

We must win at the weekend a draw is not good enough and a loss is unacceptable.

Richardson our best defender Syd? He, along with O'shea were were the worst players on the park IMO, with only Brown and Bendtner playing anywhere up to standard. Our passing was completely woeful all night and the players let down the manager badly.

Yep, Brown was bang on form for the first goal.

The lad was mint wasn't he?

Ricco is ****e & Bramble & O'Shea don't give two ****s IMHO.

And Sess was a ****ing disgrace.

Yes, as at Blackpool last season. I think that's his best position, too.
