Hi all,
Been a while since i posted last but obviously been viewing all the time.
I previously mentioned we live in Scotland and with work can not come to games. But, we were at the Astle Day game (with the daughter) and how dissapointed we were.
Hence the statement i made at the time about me not really being worthy enough to comment on alot of subjects because i feel if i am not actually seeing things with my own eyes then you cant criticise.
WELL, I get enough stick up here being ENGLISH and they will use any excuse to have a knock.
So, you must be able to understand how embarrasing it is to be a Baggie up here!
I thought the appointment of TP at the time was the best move (not neccessaraly the correct one) and he would keep us up.
Even up here people talk about how WBA were a pleasure to watch with flowing attacking football.
Yes that's all good and well and brilliant for the fans BUT sometine if you arent good enough to do it you have to change styles.
I can understand that perhaps we dont have the players to do this all of the time and again styles, formations and players have to be changed for different games and even during games.
But you still need to put the ball in the net to score. Perhaps that is made easier by having a shot actually on target. Perhaps even easier if we give the strikers a chance with a ball.
We brought in Poco, Gamboa and Rondon (i have left out the others that have now left us). the first 2 had good world cups, we all know that because they were on the tv. Now we slag them off at every chance. Perhaps to get consistant you actually need to play more than once in six months. Rondon in dont understand, his confidence must be on minus figures by now, but how can he score without the ball, when he does get it, is he panicing because of confidence loss or surrounded in defenders - like i mentioned above, i could be wrong and i appologise because i'm not seeing him with my own eyes.
What about the players TP brought in? Were they his signings? Were they through his agent? All that sounds a bit (lot) iffy don’t you think? Why doesn’t he play half of them?
Sometimes we see other clubs/fans moaning about their manager but I think the players are as bad.
After all it the players on the pitch not the manager – yes, I know it’s the manager that picks the players and the styles etc., but come on, some players are their own worst enemies (and ours).
Anyways enough rambling on about things I can’t see (lol).
Bottom line, it looks like TP has lost the plot or at very least his play book. We let in goals and can’t score at the other end. His team selection even 300 miles away is mind blowing and surely the ball needs a passport to get to a striker from our midfield! JP needs to do something. Don’t know when, but changes are needed. Is it too late in the season to change now? Bring Pearson in till end of the season? I don’t know the answers and perhaps JP don’t? Sure as hell TP doesn’t.
Ok sorry if I have offended anyone with my thoughts but I just can’t believe what’s happening!
