Over the Christmas period, the Baggies played acceptably well against Stoke, Newcastle & away at Chelsea then return to the level of performance from earlier in the season.
The personnel on the field didn't alter that much from the decent performances to the poor ones. We all know the team can play well when they turn it on so what has gone wrong?
I hope they get it sorted soon, I'm going to the Newcastle game!!!
how can the same players play to such extremes ...... by my reckoning we have played about ten games since christmas, we have more or less used the same players, the saint and vile games came during a spell of three away games in a week. Yes I hear people say they are professional sportsmen but even they can suffer from fatigue and injury niggles ....... Not an excuse maybe a reason.
My positives from the vile game .......
We were shite, really really shite ....... but the villa could not beat us, does not bode well for their chances of surviving.
We did not lose
We managed to increase the gap over the bottom three ... only a point but with goal difference we are now three wins clear of the zone.
We will play better and pick up points.
Negatives....
We were shite, really really shite ...... nothing more to say.
