Gardner off for Sess and Olsson for Berahino...

McManaman coming on for Yacob by the sound of it... COME ON ALBION!

[baggietrousers]

It's all us in the second half, but!!!! No creativity and to be honest we don't look we can score. Any footballing ability our players had has been well and truly coached out of them.
And another thing, how on earth is Mike Dean still allowed to referee premier league football.!!!! Wait till motd to see why.

[Tibby Baggie]

Another dive from McManaman imo and he's lucky to stay on the pitch with his reaction.

4 mins added time.

Swansea are as poor as any. No good getting points off Arsenal, Pool, Spurs etc if we can't set out to beat these teams.
I'm guessing the wind was atrocious, judging by our awful passing.

[Ska'dForLife-WBA]

That's the worst performance I've ever seen a Swansea side give against us in any division, and somehow we contrived to be worse. Still, it was a great game for our new winger Cross, whose first name seems to be "Disappointing". Couldn't go for two minutes without hearing him mentioned.

Newcastle is must-win now, or we've landed ourselves right back in the thick of it.

What a load of utter tripe. DD

Why do they always ruin my fookin Christmas

Albion 0

Surprise surprise.

McManaman was only being kept out of the side by McClean according to TP who was playing so well,

So he gets suspended so mcmanaman plays........................ Oh wait no he doesn't

Gardner and Morrison on the wings why not Sess and Mcmanaman we could really have won this,

2 Weeks ago we were 9 points clear of the relegation zone,.........

Today its just 3 , just one win away from relegation
Merry christmas

Pulis not really doing himself any favours. Cries for him to be sacked, if we lose at home to Newcastle will be deafening.

Buffoon.

[silverbaggie]

To be honest lads, after 55years of support I am losing interest fast.

I never understood why we signed Lambert in the first place. Even when at Liverpool he looked far too slow and overweight and about ready to continue his career in the lower divisions.

AND yet we sign him and he's got even slower; just doesn't look fit for purpose.

Can't wait for January 1 when maybe we sell Sulko and use the money to strengthen the team but, please TP no more bl***y centre backs.

I know that JP hates spending money in January but, something serious needs to be done to strengthen this squad.

I'm starting to relate more now to Baggieman's assertion that Pulis needs to go unless he can be persuaded to stop forcing square pegs into round holes.

I find myself now looking for Cheltenham Town's results ahead of West Brom's and although I'm still interested in a striped shirt, it's more likely now that the shirt has the colour red in it and not navy blue.

I think that it's more likely that Chelski will re-hire Jose than me still being a Baggies supporter by the end of this season.

SORRY LADS BUT!!!!!

I feel we need to ditch the "Pulis will keep us up" mantra. To start that midfield against a team with no manager and which had not won in seven games was scandalous. By all accounts we had a lot of possession, well 43% which is unusual for us, but created precious little. There is no creativity in that team, hardly surprising when you start Fletcher, Evans, Gardner and Yacob in midfield. I genuinely feel Pulis will take us down; our primary, probably sole, source of creating chances is the set piece, we create next to nothing from open play - with that midfield, who would create it? I like Pulis the man; I think he's honest, self critical, fair, genuine and likeable. My problem is Pulis the Albion manager; he's playing a style of football that is wretched and, to be honest, no longer effective. However, he's not going to change his approach so I honestly think we're screwed.
