Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | WBA v Swansea City | The EFL Championship

Nothing ahead of Grimes will be attempted by Grimes.

It’s pointless analysing the likes of Cooper and Vipotnik, totally pointless.
Just watch when a winger has a ball, he drops into trouble and doest offer an out ball ever. Its like hes scared of it......

Yes Grimes is doing grimes things, but when we get passed him it doesnt excuse the complete lack of support Cooper offers in arguably one of the most important positions in our setup. Absolute piss take
 
I'm at the match and I've stepped in better dog shit than our team.

It's like a weird social experiment where you pick 11 useless players and an inept coach and travel away to West Brom to compete against a competent team.

You stole my post Jaxs. Can tell you’re from Penlan.

Williams “needs to” naff off back to non-league. That’s his level.

My bet. No changes at half time. Abdulai and Fulton on 60, and that poor bugger from Hounslow at some point.
Had enough now, Williams can get tae fuck along with Watson and Coleman. Cunts.
 
That was a poor half. West Brom are a decent side but we had no vision and the width was rubbish. Can't complain about being 1 behind but it happened at such a bad time. Grimes was asleep and it is hard to believe that Cooper is actually on the pitch he has been that invisible.
Williams needs to change the play through midfield - I would be looking to put tight balls on the three Baggies lads who are yellows and see them get booked again as I think this is the only hope from this game.
 
LW is gonna be at serious risk of losing any of his goodwill from the fans if he keeps up with this obsession of Grimes dropping in as a 3rd centre half. As I said earlier he is meant to be the midfield pivot and the out ball to show for our defenders and full backs when they are being pressed.

His job is then to move it on to Franco, Ronald, Eom, Cooper or Vipotnik so that we can get up the pitch and have a proper effective press. When he drops into centre half there is no pivot and any ball to the top four players of the pitch is basically a 30-40 yard long punt against a very tall and aerially dominant West Brom defence.
 
Not a single player in the middle of the park is anticipating
Not a single player at the top of the pitch is working together with Vipotnik to press

End result is that WBA always have an easy out ball

Id forget the press on keeper & CB it offers nothing and leaves us short when they (very easily) play through us. Do the same as them and stand off

To press you either press as a team or not at all. Just one player running around pressing will cause a mistake / win possession maybe once in a thousand times.
 
I see we've progressed from walking football with the ball to now doing it without the ball as well.

What an absolutely pathetic first half - zero redeeming features.

If Williams doesn't do something positive we could end up on the end of a pummelling here.
