well that wasn't bad was it :-) gutsy performance all round and having seen the highlights I'd agree we went toe to toe with them as TP said. I'd like to say we are seeing a more attacking approach because this was what TP had in mind all along. Sort your defence out first then you can start venturing forward with a bit more purpose. After all this is what he did with Palace because he had the wingers. On that point I am really seeing a difference in that department Sess has been very strong McClean? well the more the opposition boo him the more effort he seems to put in and he's getting up and down that left wing with pace and strength I like his attitude when he sticks to his football. Gardner too deserves a mention, cracking goal and never goes missing imo harshly slated by some. This was always going to take time but I think we're starting to see the best out of most of our players as time goes on and I'm sticking with my initial gut feeling about TP being good for us right now. Incidentally I ignored this match in favour of a night out and it paid dividends again. I did accidentally load bbc sport just as chelsea scored the second and quickly switched off till I got home later and there it was 2-2 ;-) Final thought I expected us to lose this seeing as chelsea are starting to improve under new coach and if that had been the case we'd have dropped to 14th as results went with a possibility of 15th if norwich had managed a convincing victory and chelsea had walloped us. Ever the pessimist I'm very pleased it worked out ok in the end.
absolutely not. Morrison is a very decent player for us. Pundits were saying losing Morrison was a big blow for Albion because of his creativity which they said you won't get from Gardner. Although he also said what you do get from Gardner however is a cracking striker of the ball and boy was he right on that score :-)

I wouldn't start Morrison in the league - I don't like him in this WBA side and would let him go end of the season.
That's a massive statement to make (and fair play, it's your view) but I don't think many Baggies fans would countenance letting him go. I know I wouldn't.
