What made me sick was watching our so called manager and the bench laughing between themselves after Bednar missed penalty !!! Joke

We are going down, 2 poor performances on the run and no plan B from Mowbray, we will never achieve with Mowbray playing a yes man to Peace’s scrooge!

It was very disapointing to watch an Albion team who are fighting for their premiership survival, show a total lack of spirit or fight. It has been obvious all season that we lack quality in certain areas of the squad, but to roll over and die in a game of such importance is difficult to take. If that is the level of performance we can expect in the remaining games this season then we will be playing championship football yet again. I love the flowing football going forward at times under Tony Mowbray, but some lessons can be taken from Gary megson in instilling a fighting spirit and a desire to fight for every ball and commit to every challenge. It does not take quality to match your opponents in work ethic and desire, just motivation, and that is what was lacking today.

A few optimists thought we might add to our one
solitary away win but yet again our pussy cat
midfield failed to protect our suspect defence.
How many times have we said that ? TM what did you
see in valero ? he has had more than enough time to show it. TM says he dosent watch MOD he would
learn that what the pundits are saying is what the
fans are thinking midfield too lightweight and
trying to do a job theyre incapable of Lets see
Dorrans and Robinson in midfield Cech at left back back.TMs dilemma drop his record buy ?

Absolutely disgusting display no fight no nothing.Too much talking,They shouldn;t be paid today,i feel very sorry for all the people who have got season tickets and who made the journey to day.Nothings was done in the transfer window about the defence.Mowbury seems fire proof,and totaly out of his depth.

no point in complaining. the harsh reality is that our results are only reflecting our financial muscle and in the premiership there are no hiding places

Mowbray is going no where with this team, why doesn’t he admit that the players are not good enough for this league.At Fulham today they where out played by a team that was nearly relegated last season, the score should have been5-1 .When his he going to com on TV and say they where Crap as every baggies fan see, but not Mr Mowbray its bad luck this and bad luck that.The players he has no are the players he has bought so he has to stand or fall by them and I’m afraid it is the latter.When are the baggies fans going to turn against him, I’m afraid if he doesn’t change his methods,and he has stated he will not change then I’m afraid his time is running out

I am now getting concerned with Mowbrays Steadfast rufusal to play anyone in midfield who can actually win the ball. Against Fulham he started with 4 central midfielders meaning at least two were out of position. This is compounded by the fact that they created nothing going forward and do not give the much maligned defence any cover whatsoever. This is Mowbrays team and he still will not accept that without some steel and some fight we will go down. I was angry and embarased by the performance at Craven Cottage and other manager e have had in the recent past have been fired after such a showing. Simpson is not good enough he does not see the passes quickley enough usually running into blind alley’s and invariably losing posession. Unless Mowbray accepts this fundamental fact we are doomed.We are toopredictable and move the ball so slowly we are easy to defend against. I can’t se us staying up unless he changes tactics bigtime

For the third match in a row, we were absolutely pathetic – no organisation, no desire & very little ability.
I can’t see where the next point is coming from.

It has to be said. Performances of THAT quality are not acceptable at any level. Outplayed from beginning to end, no confidence, no game plan that was recognisable and some just didn’t want to know. If Fulham had been lucky, they could have had five goals. Carson, Barnett and Meite worked hard enough, Robbo was adequate, (mind elsewhere?), Tex did have a go before subbing and Fortune needed some help, but didn’t get it. Morrison didn’t look fit and Simpson, did he actually play? Koren was the only one who looked his usual self in midfield. The rest, lightweight, inaccurate and ‘lost’ without a map. The big derby is looking more like a Championship match again next season. Greening, Olsson and Clem are being missed more than any of us dared think.

truly awful,truly truly awful,dident think it could get much worse after newcastle match,looks like the players have given up,apart from carson they where a disgrace,no effort,no passion,no will to win,2,000 albion fans where singing there hearts out then had to witness that,im totally gutted,and it was 4 quid a pint in the pub.aye boing boing carson

Time for the manager to look at his purchases, and realise he made fundamental mistakes. No experienced centre half, in fact no Premiership experienced player. Living on borrowed time Mr Mowbray, and can’t expect miracles off young kids like Simmo. And Meite……what an awful buy. If he is 2m then so is Neil Collins!!!

Joke, pathetic, abject and overall a very sad day. We had no pride no spirit no nothing, I thought I would be sorry to say this but I am not, Mowbray has to go now.

We have been playing poorly for a long time now and that “performance” ws the icing on a very mouldy cake for me yesterday

I know as albion fans we have to have a thick skin, but after that shambles yesterday you have to ask yourself why do we bother

Tony, thanks for your service but do the graceful thing and resign, you have lost the dressin room and unfortunately lost the plot

A very sad day in my 17 years of supporting the albion

Tony Mowbray must go now.. he is not right person for the job. january he went out and got loads of strikers on loan? we needed defenders too. if only we could have gary megson back haha.. mowbray aint got a clue.. worst manager in years we have had. if he stays till end of season we are down no doubt. get someone in who does have a clue.. my confidence in mowbray as all faded away. i thought fulham away? 3 points easy.. but they absolutely played us off the field. MOWBRAY OUT!!

Let’s look at the bigger picture. Football management is the most over-rated executive job in Britain. Trawl the websites and hardly any supporter is happy with their manager. They all gamble with our money and support and trust…and just hope. Tony Mowbray at least tries to play football and maintains a dignity. He rightly does not criticise players on radio or TV. He keeps any internal disputes to himself. BUT he has been given reasonable funds and backing. The entire squad, apart from Robinson, Greening and the injured Clement are his signings. AND some of his on-field decisions are inexplicable, starting with playing Cech – bought as a left back – right side, midfield, during the first game at Arsenal. Some players he’s bought and sold, or put out to grass on loan, leaving us mystified as to why they have been bought at all. Does he just change his mind after seeing them perform for us? YET to sack him now seems extreme. We were singing his praises only last May, with a team which won our first title since 1920. We were also through to our first FA Cup semi final place since 1982. Is there anyone out there who we could honestly say would do a wonderful job? Nigel Pearson? Sean O’Driscoll? Or some has-been from the prem’? Mowbray’s biggest mistakes include his stubborn resistence to the blindingly obvious – that we need a ball-winner in midfield as a guard against the back four – and random purchases and loans from all over the world. Our team does not seem to share a common language on the pitch. But it’s not over yet.
(You are right, Dudley Baggie, number 2, the laughter on the bench at the penalty miss, with Fulham left to defend what would have then be a one goal lead for two more minutes, was an absolute disgrace).

Absolutely gutted! Can I suggest a jolly (I mean team get-together) where the players can bond – oh, we already tried that one didn,t we. Come on Tone sort out the bunch of muppets. Games are running out fast now as is the patience of many fans who although appreciate your footballing philosophies, wont put up with continuously watching such performances (if you can call them that)as against Newcastle and Fulham.

I, at this juncture will not join the reactionaries and call for the managers head.
However, i will not follow him blindly regardless,
and i am increasingly difficult to accept the same obvious mistakes week on week.

EVERYONE knows that Koren`s best position is in the centre of midfield, EVEYRONE knows that Morrisons best position is wide right, why play them in a role reversal, and why persist with it when it`s clearly not working.

Valero, the worst of a bad bunch on Saturday, and should have been hauled off, but somehow you knew that he wouldn`t be, likewise you know he will be selected against Everton regardless of many grossly ineffective displays.

One thing that the manager cannot be blamed for alas is the unacceptable capitulation of our midfield out there on the pitch.
One can accept losing, but not in a manner that the opposition have more time on the ball than they would in a training session, funamental closing down just did not happen, and showed a complete lack of desire, fight, determination, and worse of all, any semblance of interest.

There is no disgrace losing at Fulham, they are as good as anyone at home despite being rubbish away. It’s at home that you will shape your future, that’s how Stoke seem to be doing it. Make the Hawthorns a fortress and you can still do it.

Didn’t see the game – thankfully – but read TM’s comments on the WBA official site. Everything he said was fairly reasonable, but more revealing was what he didn’t say – nothing about the team needing to play BETTER, nothing about the need for more COMMITMENT, nothing about the lack of TEAM SPIRIT.
Seems to me that TM’s given up, and that’s communicated itself to the team.

us fans told TM that we did’nt have the firepower at the beginning of the campaign to survive at this level, wouldnt listen until it was to late, screamed at him we needed a fighter in midfield,there’s absolutley no protection for our defence, it’s the most spineless & gutless midfield i’ve seen for many a year. VALERO well enough said…

Chrisssssssssst!!
That was shocking i was so embarrassed watching that game!! Our defence is the worst i have ever seen been like it all season, i’d have thought mowbray bein a centre half would have realised how bad it is!! the whole back 4 is useless!! nothin up front as well!! we’re gone i’m afraid as much is it pains me to say! i have always liked mowbray but i’m startin to wonder if he is losin it now!! who knows!!! cant see us winning against everton and arsenal so rock rock bottom in a fortnight!!

Without Greening in the middle we really struggle. Valero definitely can’t cut it. I walked out of the pub with 10 minutes to go I was that disgusted.

Velero is a joke, koren is lightweight, neither can tackle, texiera was intermittent, morrison had a go at least, barnett is out of his depth in the premier.
How many times must we lose for mowbray to see our midfield is $#!t. why have we brought more attacking players in when its defensively where we are at our weakest, we need players who can get the ball back.
play robbo and chech on the left. bring back derek mcinnes.

Tony Mowbray CANNOT motivate players otherwise we would not be in this position and playing so badly!!
Good managers can get the best out of their
players most of the time.
In the Championship his team has more time and space and skill to play attractive football AND win games but the Prem. is much more skilful and competitve and has shown TMs limitations – Stubborness bordering on obsessive unwillingness to change playing style and accept that players need to be dropped.
He has some good players capable of performing really well but something is missing.
Have they finally also lost faith in Tony Mowbray. It would explain the poor performances. Look how the Chelsea players (allegedly)played poorly and Scolari was sacked.
The same players performed at a different level at the weekend!!
The ship is heading for the iceberg Tony.
Its time to change course otherwise you will take us all down with you.

Why did the players go to Spain, i didnt realise you got rewarded for being botom of the table its a joke, also no one seems to have to play for there place anymore, you take Carson it doesnt matter how crap he is, he knows he will be in the line up the next game, hows that work?? I wasnt keen on Simpson keeps trying all the fancy footwork and gives the ball away too much, think i would rather have Moore, Valero doesnt seem to commit himself enough and i couldnt understand why Brunt was a sub and didnt start the game. Also amazed how Mobray is still in the job.
