Quite surprised that Tymon didn't take a penalty. Excellent left foot and plenty of experience.

Tymon would have been 1st up for me.

Ronald for me, he would have dived.

you've forgotten the one he took at Leeds?

but I agree

I thought he had . Shows I'm paying attention to the details...He certainly should have been up there before Wales and Yalcouye.

Very disappointing, but if you don't take your chances, you're going to lose more often than not at this level.
Quite a few positives to take though. Some good performances - Eom, Widdell, Tymon. I hope Vic Tomatoes has seen the potential in Key as an attacking midfielder, we've been saying it for ages. Casey did well, apart from missing his free header to score from five yards out. Fulton put in a good shift. Yalcoure is exciting but scary in equal measure. Well done Inoussa for a great contribution. A lot to build on there, now let's go and win our next two games.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

We need another forward as a priority.

Someone who can play wide-right, but also up-front would be ideal. Like Bianchini, but good.

I absolutely disagree with the ‘don’t need cup football’ bit.

We have had season after season of utter mid table pretty boring mediocrity week after week. The cup is a chance to get some excitement.

If we really can’t stay up in this championship unless we ‘concentrate on the league’ we deserve sod all.

I disagree, I don’t think it’s a given that we’ll be well clear by the end of the season, I’d rather not clog up the schedule with extra matches but I know that’s just my view.

Normally I’d be all for a good cup run but I think it’s a complication we could do without this season while we get ourselves sorted under Matos. Not trying to devalue the cup though.

I don’t think it’s a given either. I just think the cup is good for supporters, good for revenue, good for the manager to try things, good for momentum etc.

Losing that today won’t have done us any favours.

Another great performance again. We perform great and lose and then perform awful and win genuinely baffling.

 

[Swans Jack]

It's refreshing to see alot of praise for today's performance. That's all we want from this team. Not the sloppy boring mess under Sheehan. Matos was right when saying we will have our ups and downs, but we have come so far from what Sheehan provided us. We could hardly get a shot on goal under Sheehan. Now we are trying bicycle kicks . Yes we need to put games away. But this would be a different conversation if Yalcouye shot from the post went in or Galbraith. The team has to take the positives and use this now for the league. I'm gutted. But gutted in a different way today.

 

[Swanjaxs]

We can concentrate on our push for the playoffs now anyway.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Joel Ward looked decent, time to free the Galbraith...

Even going into the last 5-10 mins of the 90, I remember thinking that I don't really care if WBA sneak an undeserved winner as I'd seen enough from us at that point to feel positive for the future.I wanted to us to win of course and I'm gutted we didn't, but sometimes you can be gutted after a defeat and it's an all encompassing dread that the defeat was another step towards the sh*tter for your team, but today, I just see it as a brief set-back on an upward trajectory - providing the club gets the missing pieces of the jigsaw right...

I strongly suspect Rak-Sakyi is getting done

Once again we have got nothing out of a game we should have got something out of. It needs to stop, and sharpish.
