AthleticoSpizz As George Dawes once said....It is showing how far we have come if you are disapointed about only drawing at home to Bromwich

Jeffers217 Whoever said we outplayed them is biased and full of total rubbish- West Brom are a class act and it was a quality equal game with a draw being the fairest result. What was pleasing was seeing how far we've come- I went to the 3-1 defeat at the Hawthorns in october and we were OUTCLASSED whereas we matched them yday. However I think yday highlighted the fact that we STILL need to sign a prolific striker who knows where the net is as we had plenty of chances yday to finish the game off. Must be a priority in the summer.
The best players were the 2 centre backs and i am happy Ivar's injured because Kish is a LOT better, Ivar you are a legend but time up

Cookie They had some really good players. Griffin had his hands full with their left winger Thomas and the Sidwell look-alike in midfield was class.

Griffin improved after a very shaky start though.

Although not generally critisised, posters have questioned Griffen at right back as yesterdays weak link. If you think about the shape of the game and the players on show that should come as no surprise today. The West Brom right winger Jerome Thomas was played high up he pitch and very wide which let Grif with issues. How much space should he give him? What if the play broke doen the inside right channel? Did he get any support? Not exactly. Despite being a real menace going forwrd Kebe offered little support going back. We hear a lot these days about the role of full backs and wide players in the modern game. The other day we all watched Mourinho push two wingers high up the pitch against the Chelea fullbacks. It pushed Chelseas midfielders right back. Kebe didn't play ball and defend today and this may have been the key to such an entertaining and open game with so much space down that side of the pitch. Kebe's playing well at the moment and at times looks world class but potential premier league scouts will be mindfall of this flaw in his game.

Royalwaster Not sure whether this has been mentioned before as I haven't read all the thread - just wanted to add that comedy moment for me was just after the Sig's tackle which should have been red, what was their CB (Olssen?) on? He started jumping up and down in front of the lower West and shouting as if he was having a fit - even had spit coming out of his mouth - only for their manager to tell him to shut up and get back.
Was very funny.

Royal Lady I do think the change in our fortunes is partly also down to the fact that Mills, Griffin and Zurab are very tough players - not afraid to get stuck in - and we haven't had many "hard men" for quite some time. When you look back to players like Adie Williams, Martin Hicks, Steve Hetzke, Kevin Bremner etc - not out and out "thugs" like Billy Whitehurst and Terry Hurlock - but tough, don't want to be beaten, not afraid to put in a crunching tackle and not afraid to get hurt. We'll need very similar types of players to replace Zurab and Griffin if we're to compete like this next season imo.
