Other club Forums

Not a forum but the comments on the BBC match report are worth a read. Plenty of upset Baggies on there

Still to come, after a defeat, ‘Charlton have finally been found out’.
It will be said, but won’t be true.

I think most other fans expected Birmingham and Wrexham to be real threats so of the promoted clubs we were the ones to give easy points. They probably expected us to try and keep it tight but none expected us to be successful at it.

To be fair both of those sides have actually done pretty well - Birmingham are in the top half, Wrexham are two points off the same, and of course us in the playoffs.

Yes it's a long season and things can still change but I don't think anyone would have thought all three promoted teams would be this far clear of relegation at this point.

Said it before that there are a lot of similarities between us in the Championship and Sunderland in the Premier league.

Tipped for relegation, don't score that many, solid defensively, strong at home, recruited well, got an away win (them v Chelsea, us v Ipswich) that made people sit up and take notice, almost half way to the expected survival points tally already.

They play at the Stadium of Light.
Our Stadium has new Lights 💡 💡 💡 

I don't know why teams are surprised or more accurately supporters of other teams. If they looked at our record over the last 12 months they would see quite clearly what to expect when they play us and why we don't get beaten at home often. True we are newly promoted but we play much the same as we did last season, the only difference is we have added to the squad with hopefully better players. Our style if you can call it a style is  pretty well predictable for most of a game but one thing is very noticeable, our fitness level, the ability to run hard for the whole match. No doubt the better teams will work a way out to beat us but not all. We are not in this league to entertain but to get points on the board. 
I don't expect us to gain promotion or to even be in the play-offs but I do expect us to hold our own in this league, which we are so far. If you ask Norwich supporters right now what they think of pretty football versus us and the results, I think they would jump at what we do.
After what we have endured in recent years I'll take what we are doing now for a few seasons.

I love the Brummie accent, I do chief. When I ear folk talkin' in it, I do goo off me yed. Proper makes me giggle, like, an' I can't elp but smile. Every time I ear someone wi' it, I gotta copy, it's that infectchy. When Lee Carsley were England manager, blimey I could've listened all day, like. My fave thing to say in a Brummie accent is, Dudlie Zoological Gawrdens. Sayin' that makes me feel like Ted Chippington overdosin' on Bovril, ay it does.

Our first target is to stay up at all costs. I think NJ has said the same and that we are only at the start of the journey to be a successful club. Hopefully we will then be a more attractive to bring in better players. Of course with the owners backing.

What is the point of that programme ? No commentary & the guy is the dullest "presenter" there is. 

I will never warm to the Brummie accent.
It is the worst of all the accents imo!
I can't stand it. I take an immediate dislike to anyone that speaks it.
Makes my teeth itch!

Friend of mine comes from Banbury, close enough to come into contact with Brummies on a regular basis - whenever Birmingham is mentioned he always adds “1 million people with the same speech impediment”
