We may well be IF we start next season with the same team.....but I'm pretty sure we won't. In spite of what some people think, the club's hierarchy ain't daft; they'll be only too aware of where we're coming up short. TP has already said they're looking for young, athletic players to go straight into the first team.
Disappointing day -AGAIN - for sure, but let's keep a sense of reality here folks

Arsenal away and Spurs away

More garbage footballbut at least we had a couple of shots on target.
RE: WBA vs Watford - Match Thread - Beefy 1965 - 16-04-2016
17 shots 4 on target
Dominated possession 57 % !!!!!!!!!!
Shows how poor we are quality wise with the ball,
TBH we are better without it
RE: WBA vs Watford - Match Thread - BBB - 16-04-2016
I wouldn't say I'm gutted, i am just BLOODY disappointed that a penalty taker didn't have enough brains to expect a goalkeeper not to have though that any brainless fool would go for the opposite side on a 2nd penalty - brains to there waist, huh!
I must admit after his 2nd failed penalty, i just shrugged as if to say 'what did you expect'
This season has been much like the last 3/4 - dross. With occassional highlights, but mostly cloudy with thunder in the air.
HOW MANY OF THESE PLAYERS WILL SURVIVE UNTIL NEXT YEAR?
how many of us will still survive until next year to again witness our slipping all over the place as if on whale oil? For me 7 maybe 8, and Olls wouldn't have been one of them.
So now Arsenal and Spurs, and Walsall being promoted to beat Villa - haha.

Our best crosser of a ball is Pocognoli who is sat at home sitting on his arse,
Is James Chester really any better cause I just dont see it?

Pullis "We played really well today, everyone played well".
I am sure I saw Pullis on the sideline jumping up and down screaming at the players constantly. Was it just a hologram of Pullis and he was off watching some other game? If not I want the number of his dealer because that must be some real good hallucinogenics he is on.

We win
Newcastle lose
Sunderland lose
...plus, of course, the smugness of seeing Villa relegated.
You know what? We're not safe, not by a long chalk.
We have Arsenal and Spurs next, both away, so that's a big fat zero points, and it only needs two of Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich to put a run together and we are in queer street.
It could happen.
RE: WBA vs Watford - Match Thread - BaggieSteve - 16-04-2016
I appreciate that I stay in touch from afar as I live in Scotland, that I now get to few games but would love to get to more. However, I reckon I'm as passionate a Baggie as anyone on this site, having seen my first game in 1962 and had all the ups and lows that vines from that. But I'm just in despair right now.
This match probably summed up our season; losing at home to a very average team, clearly playing poorly and missing the few clear chances we created...and they don't come more clear cut than two penalties. Yes, I know that Pulis doesn't take the penalties and that a professional footballer worth £25 million (yeah, whatever) should not miss even once from twelve yards but there is something vary basic at play here; fundamentally we are a shit team, managed by an individual who has no creative flair, who lacks any element of risk taking and who accepts a 1-0 home defeat to a crap side by saying "we played really well, everybody played really well". For Christ sake, we lost at home to Watford. You could almost accept this as a blip if we hadn't lost at home to Norwich and Bournemouth, failed to register a shot on target again the Villa and drew at home to Swansea with a last minute equaliser. I won't mention the other games where we failed to register a shot on target. I know that staying in the Premier League seems to be the be all and end all of our existence but when we have a manager who appears to be satisfied with this crap, is this the summit of our footballing world at the Hawthorns? I'm sorry but if we honestly think next season will be different with Pulis in charge, we are totally delusional.
I'm sorry to be an unhappy Scottish Baggie and I'm sorry to rant. I want to believe, I honestly do, but I have no faith in Pulis whatsoever. Where's the vino?
