West Brom v QPR | Match Thread

[72bus]

I'm just back home .
We were pish poor .
Alfie Lloyd couldn't trap a bag of cement last time I saw a CF play so bad for us he was called Leon Clarke.
Why play Yang and saito on the wing who's going to get on the crosses.
Yang won't take defenders on .
Chair holds on to it far to long .
We are so slow at the back , I thought at least Colback tried to move it forward .
Sat nav took me round the houses took me through Smethwick made the white city estate look like Mayfair.....

As Abseits said, WBA winger "skinned" Paal in lead up to penalty. Paal should have taken the yellow card as the impending danger wasn't difficult to see.
I was once of the opinion that Marti should go, but then had to eat much humble pie after that great run.
But always always he starts with Paal. He almost never stops a cross coming over and I would never ever play him. For me, an absolute blind spot for Marti.

Who plays instead of Paal? I agree he's crap buy yet again a failure to sign another left back has left us in this mess. Yet nourry thinks he is a smart #### and knows better. He doesn't.

We bought an injured replacement...Harvey Vale. I think I read he's back in some form of training. Perhaps he'll have a cameo appearance before the end of the season. But right now... its a head scratcher. I think Colback has played there in the past.

Vale is a 10. He has already said he's a 10 or someone that plays in the attacking third. Can't see him taking a deal where we said to him from now on you are playing left back. I know he did a job at Bristol Rovers but he said himself he's no 10 type player.
I think thr Brazilian lad is being lined up as our long term solution for our lb spot.

That's what I originally thought, but someone on here suggested he'd be a LB because of his loan. I hope you're right though, we need someone with ability in the final third and he seems to be highly thought of.

I played LB for many years because I wasn't good enough to play further upfield. It shouldnt be that difficult a position to fill and anyone with pace should make a decent fist of it.

As if to put things into perspective. Were any of us remotely surprised that Portsmouth beat Leeds?
An extraordinary league we are in!!!

[Dedders]

Leeds will certainly be on the bounce on Saturday that’s for sure!

Someone nicked for racially abusing one of our players yesterday.... can't say I noticed any kerfuffle or consternation at any point, maybe it was aimed at Saito following the red card?
