Personally think Araruna is doing OK, much better than Swift and Ejaria

Better than them? Yes but he hasn't been very capable in possession. Except just there as I type this.

Edit: then he dribbles it out of play.

[Bristol Paul]

Would swap out both Ejaria & Swift at the mo.

Both having hideous games. Aracuna looking pretty tidy though & Pusças pitting in a decent shift.

Agree with this, Ejaria dwelling on the ball again, Swift passing and corners horrendous

[Hound]

Ok half in all. Playing fairly well except the midfield and Rafa’s had a mare

Still in it though

[Royal_jimmy]

Thought we were pretty dire in that first half and lucky they've only scored one goal. Play like that in the 2nd half and we'll lose.

Good to see Swift back to his old poor form... we shouldn't have any problems keeping him for next season.

It’s hard to be capable in possession with this team when there’s never any options going forward. Slow passes around the back, poor control, ball ends up back to the goalie, lose, repeat. Dire standard of play recently

It’s why when you have the opportunity, Swift and Ejaria (as our “flair” players) need to do a lot more once again

[genome]

We look dangerous when the midfielders take the ball and charge into West Brom’s half. But they’re taking too many touches and inviting pressure. Fortunate to be 1-1.

Really?
In what context?
If he's simply fed up watching this dross it's probably fair enough

[Ascotexgunner]

When the two players you rate highest in the team......swift and ejaria.....are this poor you know we are gonna create bugger all and struggle going forward. WBA leave lots of space for us to go through their midfield and this lot have no idea how to exploit it.

[Old Man Andrews]

Just think, if we play this way against Leeds in a couple of weeks they will batter us.

Referring to the West Brom subs warming up at half time and was saying there was a fitness coach out there with them with cones out and stuff. He was lamenting the need for the fitness coach needing to be there, saying that if players don’t know how to warm up themselves then ‘fuck me’ they shouldn’t be at the club

[Jagermesiter1871]

Thought Pele and Araruna have looked very good. Swift and Ejaria playing atrociously - both trying to do too much and holding onto the ball for far too long. Rafael is also having a mare.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Bowen is simply not learning from mistakes. Sitting back inviting pressure constantly whenever we take the lead

We've dropped the 2nd fewest points in the league from winning positions - only Fulham have dropped fewer and we're level with Leeds.

[WoodleyRoyal]

2-1 west brom

[Old Man Andrews]

Brilliant.

[genome]

Shocking start to the 2nd half, awful

[John Madejski's Wallet]

So easy.

Gonna be a thrashing from here

Kinell grr

Did it at Fulham - only just got away with it
Did it at Cardiff - got pegged back
Did it against Hull - got pegged back
Did it today - pegged back
We even spent the entire 90 sitting off Bristol - lost the game

It was a real strength of ours a couple of weeks ago, holding onto a lead but we sit too deep now
