We’re crap and we know we are...
We’re crap and we know we are...
We’re crap and we know we are...

Why oh why did I waste my time from midday until seven pm driving down to watch that load of junk.
That’s it for me. Season ticket returned under the Sale of Goods Act and misrepresentation.
Will not bother with the remaining home games as I suspect we won’t get another single point.

Supported the Baggies since the 1950’s and even in the bad times, at least the team tried.
This season they were supposed to be the best squad we’ve ever had - bollocks to that,

Club record - eight straight losses on the bounce. Double drop beckons.

I've been fortunate enough to have missed the last few games, as I was travelling on consecutive Saturdays and then got back to the UK for international break. It wasn't a big deal as it was obvious after we lost to Huddersfield at home and Pardew wasn't sacked that we had thrown in the towl anyway.

That said, you still expect the players to perform to the best of their capabilities.

But today was an absolute shambles. It's like every game we play under Pardew gets worse and worse.

I'm 35, I've seen the dark days when the side were utter sh*te. But I've never seen such a gutless bunch of players as what we have now. I never thought I'd see the day when any West Brom team would let Burnley run rings around us at home.

I've seen us before when we were poor, mismanaged, with no obvious tactics. That's nothing new. But never have I seen us play important games with no tempo, no battle. We had nothing to lose today, given Burnley are a pretty pedestrian team, I would've expected us at least to get at them and in their faces.

Instead, we made them look like Brazil. Every midfielder given 20 yards of space to pick any pass they want.

Since day 1, I haven't understood Pardew's tactics and they continue to baffle. WTF is this 5-3-2 all about? Why the hell is Gibbs going off and Nyom playing left back? How many times do we need to watch Rodriguez and Rondon up front together to see that they do not combine? It's like the guy picks his team out of a hat. This idea of keeping him until the summer to save pennies is making us a complete laughing stock.

That said, the players aren't faultless. We keep reading about the players showing all this aggression and passion in the dressing room but they show f*ck all on the pitch. Johnny Evans' captains the side and tackles like a 12 year old boy. He's never been strong in the air, but when he's not tackling, why is he in the side? In the summer, I said when Leicester bid £17m for him that it was derisory, well after his performances this year, I hold my hand up that I was completely wrong. The guy has been an absolute joke. Why is Rondon so lazy that he's offside when we are clearing the ball from our own corner flag? I could go on and on...

Simply isn't enough desire, effort or quality in the side anymore. Unfortunately those who do try like Yacob and Hegazi, aren't athletic or good enough to play at this level. I just hope that Hegazi's inability to mark isn't as badly exposed in the Championship.

Big rebuilding session required and I just hope whoever gets the job is a magician. Think we're going to need one.
