Nice bit of reaction here to a piece in the E&S quoting Big Vic saying about how we'll turn it round after the break:

Reasoned argument. Can you imagine these websites being available during previous generations? Johnny Giles would have been sacked before Christmas in his first season. Alan Ashman would have been ridiculed. Vic Buckingham would not have made it beyond the 1953-54 season. I don't think Bomber, who was in and out of the team between 17 and 19, would have had the confidence to progress. Even Ronnie Allen once complained "I have lost my shooting boots" during a barren spell. But there was no-one around to knock him each and every day during his six weeks without a goal. I watched the great Ray Barlow have a couple of shockers for the reserves early in 1958. The local journalists were kind. It is going to be like this for Albion during this season and any other season in the Premiership. In this intensely crazy and money-obsessed league, ownership by an oil-rich country which spends half a billion pounds on a squad is not enough. Have a look at the bile and sheer hatred spewed out by Manchester City fans this morning. We will have good days, half decent days, bad days and very bad days this season. But, overall, everything will be okay.
