WBA vs Huddersfield - Match Thread

Brunt played like his life depended on it when he came on.

Although it's noticeable to me that he seems to try a lot harder when he comes off the bench. I've mentioned already that I would always start him given what we have available, but it would be good if he had similar intensity and passion for 90 minutes.

The other two who stayed for a shorter time was Foster & Rondon who TBF usually disappears as quick as possible,
However stay he did, says alot about the other 14 or so squad members that just walked away Angry

No desire, no hunger, no passion.

Except for Chris Brunt, that bloke played like his life depended on it when he came on.

Overall it was a very sad day in the history of our football club. The effort our players put in in getting us promoted and then fighting to keep us up in the Great Escape season has now all been pissed up the wall by the current group of spineless bottlejobs.

Just stick the R next to our name now and get it over with!

Can I just say, singing You're Not Fit To Wear The Shirt never helps players improve. Just alienates players from the fans. But that's just my opinion.
Our players got applauded off by the fans after a 0-4 defeat at Bournemouth which prompted Zanka to buy everyone a beer.
Part of Town's approach yesterday was to get the crowd frustrated, get you lot on the player's backs. Worked a treat. Sorry.

While I agree with what you're saying in theory, there's going 0-4 down, then there's going on the piss in Barcelona on a "training camp" stealing a taxi then putting in the performance they did yesterday.

Going 0-2 down in such a crucial game, looking like we were going through the motions; they got exactly what they deserved yesterday. Both in the result and from the fans.

It's hard to watch at times. I think we must be soft in the head! The hardcore of our fans will generally applaud off the team whether it be league 2 or the prem. Usually our immediate reaction to going behind is a unanimous chant of "oo to be a". But I would rather have it that way.

On the other hand, I know how you're feeling. Sometimes you feel you should tell your players to bleeding well get on with it whether you voice it or not. They are paid a lot of money to do something they love. They shouldn't need telling!

Whatever, though, your fans do not deserve this at all.

Yes, the training camp thing was a complete piss take. Should take them all to a remote Swedish island and let them fend for themselves, like Wagner did last year. Proper team bonding.

Amelia, other than the football and the result, they were good for you ..... How did you enjoy the rest of the day, the fan zone, mixing with the yam yams etc. The traffic on the M5 .....

I would have taken them camping and hiking in the Australian Outback. 150 mile hike in 2 days whilst camping at night. Nothing says team building like helping each other in tough terrain whilst sweating your balls off in hot heat surrounded by snakes and spiders who can kill humans.

Yes I'm evil. Whistle

Fantastic. The journey to the ground was ok. Got parked opposite. The loveliest people you could possibly want to meet. You have a great ground. Bought myself a Baggie Bird and a mug. If you look on my twitter account @smee64 you can see my ugly mug clutching my mascot in the ground. Just arrived in Birmingham. Trying for a canal ride. The foot I had operated on last week is aching a bit after the walk back to the car yesterday - why did we have to leave by a different route? - so we are doing a bit of sightseeing sat down! Great place. Want to come back.
