I hate to say it but we’re going down.
Stick with Pardew until the end of the season, see which players are staying / going and decide which way forward from there. Plans can be put in place between now and then.
I do feel a bit sorry for Pardew in a way. Amazing how many clubs get a lift from a change in leadership but not at the Albion. I think the players have forgotten how to win or have had it drilled out of them by the previous regime.
Football fans / supporters are very fickle. Had Carlos Carvahal been available after struggling at Sheffield Wednesday and was linked with the Baggies, there would’ve been howls of derision (myself included). Look what he’s done at Swansea. Is that all down to Carvahal or is it the players being able to adapt. Does that mean they were just not performing for Paul Clement?
It really grates on me that Huddersfield, Brighton, Bournemouth, Watford etc can all battle and raise their game to get results and performances yet it doesn’t or isn’t happening for our team. Competing with these teams should be a given, a minimum requirement but we just roll over for anyone.
Roll on May so we can rebuild, hopefully be challenging at the right end of the league through actually winning some games and put a smile back on the faces of the loyal support at the club. They deserve that.
