    Great performances all over the pitch. Our midfield 3 was particularly strong. We look a better team without Leko in the starting line up. Pratley MotM.
    Once Taylor is back I think Leko will be so dangerous coming off the bench to run at tired defenders. We don't really have anyone with pace to come on at the moment. He is someone who can really add impetus late on.

    How Clinton Morrison can say that it shouldn’t have been a red card, is beyond me.
    Laughable coming from a man who managed to ‘find’ some Irish heritage to get some sort of intl career.

    Bilic didnt think it was a sending off. Must be off his tits.

    i thought gallagher levelled up today, trying to work out who hes like, probably gerrard
    Oztumer was a constant threat at the edge of the box and was linking up play well. much improved.
    cullen/Pratley make you feel safe.
    purrington was good going forward but suspect at the back

    I would like to point out the massive mistake SG, Bows and Jacko have made in not sending Bonne out on loan in August.

    He would have learnt far more getting lumps kicked out of him by hulking great League 2 centre backs, then scoring 5 goals in 6 starts for Charlton in the Championship!

    Hold on a minute...

    I think that's his ideal role right now. As a starter he too often gives the ball away  unnecessarily which kills our momentum and puts us on the back foot. We looked a lot more fluid going forward without him.

    They can moan about the ref all they want but he was shocking for us first half. So many fouls on us not given and we were picked up for anything little at all. Livermore should have been sent of in the first min.

    He missed the blatant handball for their second and the lino missed 2 obvious offside when they had a period of control which would have allowed  us to get back on the ball and slow it down.

    The red was a clear red. Yes the pen was probably a little fortunate but overall a draw was the least we deserved from that game. 

    True fighting performance from everyone. And showed some real character to come back late after what happened wednesday and with the context of so many players unavailable.

    Was thinking. Who from this team would you want to back you up in a fight? The list just keeps on growing. Pratley, Pearce, Lockyer, Solly are the obvious ones but the likes of Purrington, Phillips, Sarr, Gallagher and Bonne are all showing that fight and commitment too. I love it.

    More than a week until Preston now and so hopefully get a few bodies back and give the likes of Kayal and Purrington more time to get back to full fitness. Then another week to Milwall where hopefully we see Lyle (probably off the bench) partner Bonne and we get the first glimpse of the strike partnership which is going to fire us back to the premier league.
    You talk an awful lot of sense when you’re not talking about cricket

    I thought all 3 officials were pretty poor. Both linos seemed to think whole of the ball over whole of the line meant some line over in Warwickshire.  Thought at the time, live, red was a bit harsh and pen was stonewall but watching highlights on the (wrong) train I might swap those observations over but heh hum, fully deserved point

    Bows is playing very cute on our prospects this season as he did last year. I think he's doing all of the important things right. We can't win every week, but we are always going to be nearly there. Exciting times every week. Come on Roland spend some money. 
    I'm really interested in Jacksons comment at Bromley as reported that they are looking to freshen the squad up in January! I wonder in what way!
  • Cullen & Gallagher were an absolute class act today. They just don't stop running. And when they get the ball they never seem to lose it and their speed of thought is incredible.  They always seem to know what to do and never panic - no doubt thanks in a large part to coaching from Bowyer and Jackson. 

    The game seemed to have everything: goals, quality players, some famous names, a full and tidy looking ground, decent atmosphere, rucks with the police, sending off, dodgy penalty, things lobbed at us from the Albion end.  Cracking entertainment. 

    Bilic, like Johnson on Wednesday, came across as a classless knob on the touchline.

    You don't seem to be able to stop going on about this, it's like you enjoy getting little digs in at fellow fans who, at the time, made what they thought was a sensible suggestion. Strange chap.
  • over 25000 there today, their biggest attendance of the season
    Must have been their Cup Final.

    Judging by comments on here and from Bowyer after the game, it sounds like we deserved our point if not more. Nobody this season can say that there is 1 of our players not giving it their all.
    Looking forward to watching the highlights on Quest, should be extended highlights as they are presenting from our game.

    Oh come on, there must be at least one player we can all slag off?

  • Anyone else think that first West Brom goal was an OG?

    That is all.
