To be fair a lot of this is down to the players, no one moving off the ball, so the player in possession is getting closed down by two or three players at a time and ends up giving the ball away.  Passing is sloppy and usually in the wrong direction.  We are desperate for a creative midfielder and you can not argue with swapping JR and Gayle into their preferred positions.  We need to pick up the pace and start playing or this will be a reverse of the home score (or worse)

You were spot on about the need for a midfielder and this result being worse than the home result.
Does anyone mind if I laugh at tonight’s shambles? It’s a xxxx joke.

Darren is being slaughtered everywhere I look, unfair on the guy he's far to nice for nasty abuse.
It's a club issue, Jenkins put him in the job. Great for unity, but sentiment has no place in football.

But I think most of us are agreed that player selections and set-up (433, 352 etc) have been baffling when they demonstrably haven’t worked, game after game. And who coaches defenders to back off and back off, allowing the player on the ball all the time in the world to keep advancing and then shoot? Happens too often with Albion.
