Season 23/24 | WBA v The Swans | The Official Match Thread | EFL Championship | The Hawthorns

It's true, I don't attend these days for various reasons. My first game was 1966. Yours?

Anyway, what was Russball about today's performance?

1965.

What was Russball about today?

58% possession at 3-0 down, walking football, more sideways and back passes than forward passes, having to go back to keeper every time to reset a new move, 3 useless centre backs failing miserably at imitating Man City, Grimes and Fulton doing neat little one-twos all game except going backwards, ballwatching defending, you want more?

Fucking hell lads, it's the second game of the season mind.

f*****g hell lads, it's the second game of the season mind.

I still remember the panic under Sousa, after Boro demolished us after we’d lost at Leicester. Today was bloody awful mind, no avoiding it.

 

[sainthelens]

Far more a total study in what not to than anything else. Unless Duff sees that, the next few weeks are going to be bloody painful.

Innit. Playing with wing backs is fckn pointless if they've no pace/dont at least attempt to overlap. We looked shapeless and clueless. With Grimes dropping deeper to pick up the ball it then meant Piroe doing the same leaving Yates stranded. Just fckn basics mun.

Yeah don't get me wrong today was a bucket of cum but people already craving back wuss ball.

Spot on, you could see Wuss oozing out their pores in today game, it's going to take a while get eradicate out of the squad.

Patino and Gino need to start next week and can we please get a replacement for bango ffs

 

[Ringwood Jack]

We have 3 poor CB's.. no.leaders amongst them or any clue on how to pick up a player or read the game. Our achilles heel last season still staring us in the face.

He looks awful I’d happily have Martin sticking a bid in for him.

This totally, unfixed for the last two seasons

Agree. Cardiff much better. I reckon they’ll get automatic promotion this year. Jog on Rodge!

Cardiff are worst than us. And we need to stop focusing on that lot, its embarrassing. I couldn’t care less what they do.

But if you think we’re going anywhere this season you’re all in for a hard time of it. I’ve seen nothing from Duff or these crap players that we’re better than a 10th place finish.

If you’re all happy with that, you’ll be fine. I’m not, I’m an ambitious person.

2 fucking games, give it a rest son or at least wait until he's played 3 games before you call for his head, by the way who would you replace Duff with now?

 

[Ringwood Jack]

Roger is an imposter.

I'll be very happy with a 10th place finish, and will think that Michael Duff has done a good job if we get that. It's a work in progress and finishing between 7th and 20th is unimportant.
