Christie at centre back yikes

At least he's a big unit, and won't be quite as exposed for pace as in the full back position. Fingers crossed.

 

[lidojack]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Christie played about 25 minutes for us at CB and directly given away two goals?

Doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Okay, Christie anywhere near the starting eleven gives me the fear, but Franco's return will hopefully steady the ship. I would snap your hand off for a point and a decent showing.

Make no mistake, though; another performance like Hull and Portsmouth, and Williams will be looking down the barrel of a gun, never mind dreaming of a move to the Midlands.

Slowest centre back pairing in the league

Surely if you're in charge of WBA your instruction would be to allow them the ball and press like nobody's business

If they press high we need multiple options to play out, short, medium and long. Our 89% medium pass completion is best in the league. Let's not hit long ball after long ball, only for the ball to come straight back.

Yikes. Stadium looks half empty.

Yikes. Stadium looks half empty.

Live TV game, coming off the back of a thrashing, at a time where some people are a bit skint after Xmas. Plus we're not exactly the greatest watch in the division at the best of times.

Not all that surprising really.

Gonna piss me off if he calls him Perreira all game

 

[NEATH JACK 8]

Well done Vig. Christie beaten for pace (shocker)

 

[Andrew - North Hill]

This first 20 mins has been unbelievably boring.

 

[NEATH JACK 8]

Well done Darling.

Like the final game of the season between 13th and 14th place. Better shape so far. Dare I say too early that Key and Tymon appear to be playing at full backs

 

[NWJack]

These posession losses going to cost us eventually
