[Blue Baggie]

can`t believe i`m reading this
this season was basically a consolidation term after a woeful premier league campaign
we have a manager who is going to make mistakes
i`m not defending him but i am defending him his first major managers job
yes i have questioned his tactical nous
i`m not DM biggest fan but as a baggies fan
no i`m not happy with the certain formations he plays
the guy is learning and also suffering
we feel let down when we lose.....how do you think he feels?

i`m probably the only one on here that is praying we dont go up this season......Why?
as you phil have been advocating all season give the kids a chance
i would rather give the kids..and yes..they should be given a chance....in the championship
we aint ready for another campaign in the premier league with what we have.

please don`t think i`m having a go at anyone
but promotion would only end up with a 2019/20 season looking worse than Huddersfield

Like i've said many times our youngsters need a run of games, if we were building for the future I would be doing cartwheels.
Harper and Field have done a great job and pushed some of the old guard onto the bench. 
How many kept saying they were not ready, they have proved all they needed was a chance. 
We should have given Edwards a run as he was the best player pre-season and Darren has not given him a chance. Wilson (RB) should have had a few run outs before turning to Holgate as a short term solution. Howkins and Leko should also be at least on the bench. 
I would have been delighted to be mid table if we were building for the future. My respect for DM would have been tip top.
The only thing promotion would give us is more time and money to consolidate a rebuild 3 years - instead of the 1 year we have now. 
A lot of people on here have got me all wrong, I am patient if I can see and understand the plan. When we go gung ho for promotion with a bunch of pensioners and forget the rebuild I find it impossible to accept tactical stupidity that cost us points almost every week. 
And I will not accept pathetic excuses as to why errors and mistakes happen again and again. I may do a post with all the excuses - the only thing I will say is DM or GJ has never said any error or mistake was because they were naive or lacking experience.
If we lose against Leeds - at least get Edwards in the team. Amen.
