Amazingly West Brom are as poor a side as I’ve seen in the Championship for a while. Yet we somehow managed to concede 7.
6 in the second half. Truly alarming.
Some comments;
Why oh why are we continuing to play Matt Smith up front - he is useless as a lone front man, especially away from home. Completely immobile and zero hold up play with absolutely no goal threat. It’s like playing with 10 men. How McLaren did not already learn this from Preston where he was equally useless is just plain worrying. Sylla is an all round better option and Smyth has pace. We must must do something different up front.
The lack of pace in the side was so damn obvious from the line up. We are so so painfully slow...
Freeman - one of the slowest who for me just gets worse and worse. Never ever passes the ball to a teammate, slows attacks down, and is increasingly losing it and conceding possession time and time again which is killing us. Should have been hooked- I lost count of the amount of times he conceded possession. He was awful and the second worse on the pitch. Does he know the word PASS. PASS THE BALL YOU GREEDY F@“$.
Lynch - another sloth. And always an accident waiting to happen.
And finally.... Ingram. Wow just wow. Did he win his place in a raffle? Looks a total calamity. Accident(s) waiting to happen. Again and again. He is totally out of his depth the poor chap. Cannot play in front of big crowds, cannot save, cannot kick, the list is endless. He must have been directly and indirectly at fault for 5 goals today due to his awful awful awful kicking and other calamities. Once again, this has been coming based on evidence in the first two games. Not sure why we needed today to find out he is a complete liability and Lumley must play. Or get another keeper in ASAP.
Could go on on and on but that was truly shocking. Based on the 3 games I’ve seen so far, I think we need 5 loan signings to stop the rot. 2 strikers - 1 with pace, 1 who can hold the ball. 1 center back. 1 goalkeeper. And 1 pacey winger who is experienced.
