Scoot Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Plenty of positives to take from today's game, most of them have been covered in this topic already. Nice to see Mitrovic score. Was thinking it was going to be one of those days when Foster saved Mitrovic's chance in the opening 10 minutes or whatever it was and then when Tiote's goal was ruled out. Never mind though, we got the goal and the 3 points but this missing loads of chances is starting to become an issue. I thought it would sort itself out after a certain period of time and a little bit of luck but it seems not. We miss absolute sitters almost every single game. Must have been 6 or 7 today. I suppose i'd be more worried of we weren't creating the chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just realised Chelsea have PSG the Tuesday after our game. Let's hope they have one eye on that. Surely they can't get much from the league now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Not to blame him, he's a young lad out of position who generally did well, but we can't continue for long with Aarons at left back, he looks too easily bullied and has mistakes in him. Nah, don't think Aarons was bullied at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 There was one point where he was just pushed straight off the ball like he was nothing. I think he did well just think he'll be found out against better teams and hope he doesn't lose confidence by being played there too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Deserved win against a side who seem to be the W Mids equivalent of NUFC....only try at home and useless away. WBA deserved nothing from the game but could easily have snatched a point late on due to our wasteful finishing but also, it has to be said, not enough really clear chances. Plenty of possession and crosses into the box from the wings but we are heavily reliant in Shelvey to produce a killer pass through the middle in order to score ; our last two home games have proved that. Apart from making a fantastic stop from Mitrovic(which he should have buried) their keeper didn't have many direct shots to save...most were blocked by WBA defenders. Contrast this with Leicester's second goal at Man C, where a piece of individual skill on the ball created a clear chance inside the box and we have nobody with the exception of Perez who is capable of that...Remy also did this. The general play was decent though and Townsend had a much better game than at Everton although much of our possession was the result of WBA being unable to keep the ball and our m/f closing them down quickly - I agree with those who say that Tiote and Shelvey seem to be the best m/f pairing. Tiote had a fairly good game overall and its a pity this guy hasn't got the temperament to go with his footballing ability. A sobering result was the Mackems getting a point at Anfield, something we look unlikely to do ; they have a manager well versed in keeping teams up and we cannot rely on them getting too many bad results to aid our escape bid. Despite appearing dead a couple of weeks ago, Villa now seem to be getting their act together under Garde and we cannot afford to slip up many more times. The performance as much as the result at Chelsea will tell us if we do have a realistic chance of beating the drop - we are hardly likely to win but if we have another disappearing act away from SJP the signs will not be good. Of all the managers fighting the drop, ours inspires the least confidence... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I was pleased but these were bilge like. They were honestly only interested in trying to make the game scrappy, abhorrent performance and I'd have been livid if we let it slip as we had enough chances and pressure to win 3 or 4 games.

Ketsbaia Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Only won 2 more home wins than away, although I don't really count Bournemouth as a proper win..... they annihilated us and we scored with our only shot! Flukiest win I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Usually when we're 1-0 up at hoe you're shitting your pants in case we concede. But I never really got that feeling yesterday, though I think that says more about west brom than us. Shelvey is like a QB man, just sits in the pocket pinging the ball about.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Considering our dominance, chances and possession and just how shite WBA are, its worrying that we could only get the one goal. McClaren's sides have a history of being low scoring teams... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McClaren's sides have a history of being low scoring teams... I don't see how anyone can blame McClaren for our players spurning chances. We had 19 shots. You'd expect your players to convert at least a couple of chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Mitrovic should have scored his earlier chance (class save tbf). Tiotes goal was perhaps harshly disallowed, and Winni should have scored that header second half. Cannot blame mcclaren for only 1-0, but you could blame to backroom staff for not getting us a more proven finisher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
