Great, boring uninspired football it is, I thought we were meant to be getting away from that. I thought you wanted results and that was the closest this season yet,you want to wacth pretty football and end up losing again??? Tell me what you would like, because when your on a bad run you need to sacrifice playing a certain to try get a result. Both is possible, or at least it has been for the last 3 seasons.

On the face of it, it was a good performance, plenty of positives, especially Joe Allen. But, we all know how wank Pulis' sides are away from home. We saw it with our very eyes for about 5 years. Sorry, but you can't be truly happy after that? The ref give 2 stone wall pens and everyone's happy, no complaints with the team or manager today, the ref has shafted us and enjoyed every minute doing it. Watched your game today as I wanted to see how Wba played considering they thrashed us last week. From what I saw it confirmed that they are not capable of paying that well away from home as Pulis won't let them attack as much. You could have won but ultimately Rondon did for you, a class act who we couldn't handle either. Think you'll be ok though, dependÃng on your January transfer window. As for us, think we're going to run out of luck this year.

I disagree about the performance, yeh we didn't get cut open but that was down to the most negative midfield selection we've seen in a long time. Yes let's keep picking these attacking players because that's helped in recent weeks. Keep letting in 4goals a game needed sorting out. There's a balance, seen over the last 3 seasons, or are you trying to say its either one or the other?

We weren't boring though. We were positive and on the front foot for most of the game. I was bored shitless. Its not difficult against a team sitting back to look positive, the only one for me was getting the ball into the box from out wide. I thought it was comfortably the most balanced we've looked all season.

I thought we played well today especially 2nd half but the worry for me is we've played well in 2 home games in the last 3 days and won neither of them.They were dreadful today and offered nothing going forward but our Achilles heel let us down again.

I thought it was the most negative we've looked for a while, it was always going to be that way with that midfield, but as I've said, there has to be a balance somewhere and Hughes should know what it is by now.

I don't get your definition of negative. To me, negative suggests you don't want to win the game. You couldn't accuse us of that. We wanted to win but at the same time we needed to restore some solidity to a midfield that's been wide open for months and tighten up a bit.

Yes because it's that easy, even morino last year with massive club couldn't work it out. When you have injuries all over the place you have to do with what you got, he's got to swap his goal keepers around because how do you know until they actually start playing. I don't think he would play them players today if we hadn't of lost so badly over recent weeks. Sometimes you got stop the rot before kicking on.

Worrying signs to be fair, really need that first win to kick start our season. We knew how poor Pulis was away from home with us, sets sides up purely to defend and we could barely buy an away win under his tenure. Still not beaten the fucker in about 6 games now. Jammy bastard. Think positive lad . It's 1 point more than we got last season, and we have a fixture in hand.

The last time we beat West Brom at home was late 2008. Not sure that's right Chief. Diouf scored 2 about 3 years ago in a 2 -0 home win.

And what happened to him He ended up at Man Poo, not so sure that is where Mark and his team will rock up after Coates sacks them.

We were awful in that game too, and were probably better today. We're not having much luck against the bloke they replaced him with!
