Some lads in block 24 were absolutely hounding Sobhi. Borderline racism as well. I believe someone near took pictures of them and did point a few figures and have a few words. Soon as he scored everyone there who had heard what the lads were saying turned around to laugh at them but surprisingly they were nowhere to be seen. Oh no! More unacceptable behaviour going unchallenged.

The result and goals are very important for the team and confidence but it doesnt mean it was good performance, if this performance was against another team this result wouldnt happen, westbrom dominated the game but they cant score just make long balls and wait for set peices, imagine same domination from Liverpool or Man City .. etc
Anyway the result is the most important part of the game, they played very well and lost against Burnely and no one will remember the performance, it is a competition for who will collect more points

Hence they weren't around when Rama scored

There were shitloads 😂😂
Butlands kicking Butlands command of his area Shawcross and Zouma for the goal, what were they doing? Zoumas positional play-he has none Wimmer at left back- he did well but just the fact he was there at all is mental. Fletcher- garbage Allen- again he played well but he's loads as a #10 and a lot worse deeper. It's not a negative of yesterday (although we did get worse when he went deeper) but more a long term concern with getting the best out of him. Shaq didn't look like he wanted to be here Crouch pretty isolated
We didn't play well at all We allowed them too many chances that a good side would take
And that's without thinking too hard haha

People moan when we lose.
And when we win it's "If we were playing some of the best players in world football we'd have been dicked"...........
Obviously. The likes of City, Spurs, Utd and Chelsea are dicking teams quite regularly this season.
We're a nervous wreck as a team so that win will give us a lot of confidence going away to Huddersfield.

No negatives? The only reason we won the game is because West Brom are a very poor side. Hughes is lucky we weren't playing a top team because we could have been thrashed yesterday. First half West Brom had 3/4 goal scoring chances but they didn't take any of them because Rondon is shite. If those chances to fell to Aguero or Kane they would have punished us and we'd go behind yet again and we all know that we don't come back from a losing position. The ONLY 2 first half chances were taken really well. That was the difference; we finished our chances. So, 2-0 up at half time, against arguably the worst team in the league, we should have gone out surely looking to kill the game off. What the fuck did Hughes say at HT? We were abysmal and 3-1 was a flattering score line. So yeah plenty of negatives imo. Teams we should be beating comfortably (Swansea, WBA,) we are scraping to get a result. Hughes still has to go before he spends Coates' money on the wrong players, yet again. Kane and Aguero, probably both 100 million each, how the fuck is that relelvant ? Stating the bastard obvious, jeez.

Negatives? -pretty much the entire second half AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! and, I am totally fed up craning my neck for the entire said second halves, whilst watching rubbish football teams take the initiative and proceed to give us another self inflicted going over. Simply not good enough for this to be routine(mr Hughes) whilst playing in front of your home support Thank fuck, I though it must be me becoming the Grinch, all these happy little Christmas elves must have been sniffing Santa's Sherry for too fucking long if they think that dross is in any way shape or form acceptable.

Conceding another piss poor just goal minutes into the second half, when we were comfortable, and as a result being under the cosh for the next 40 minutes from a piss poor West Brom side was a definite negative.

The fact is you're going to win the vast majority of games which you score three goals in. Fair enough the third is because they were chasing the game but that is a direct result of the pressure created in scoring the first two in the first place!
We found a way to win a game, we scored three good goals and that far outweighs the obvious negatives for me.

Whoever lost this is probably going down. Not us then.

Precisely. I see mainly positives out of yesterday's game. Of course it wasn't a world beating performance but most of the footballing world thinks we did ok and that we were loads better than West Brom. Yet our own fans think we were shite and West Brom did really well. So well they lost 3-1. Just what planet?

Rondon is big , strong and a rubbish finisher
I am certain aguero or Kane or salah or lukaku or Rooney or Sanchez or morata etc , would score more than one , if we play like that

I notice Toxic's cheerleaders are very conspicuous by their absence after yesterdays game. Understandable after watching WBA yesterday. 4 wins in 2017 yet he's the saviour of SCFC.
Also, I'd like to point out we are 3 points behind a team managed by the best manager in the world.
As you were.

Who has called Silva the best manager in the world he was one of the best options that were realistic to us in the Summer but Coates chose to stick with this eunuch.

I am sure it has been posted before that the frustrating thing is our lack of pressing. It happens against most teams - from the kick off against Bournemouth earlier this season for example. We just sat back and let them come at us and we do the same most games so I presume it is deliberate. Contrast that with WBA yesterday, Bournemouth and most other matches - we get pressed all over the field and, like yesterday, a lot of times (not all of the time) have to go back to Butland to kick long. Contrast that with WBA, I would love to see stats that state how often we passed back to Butland versus them passing back to Forster.
I suppose with Crouch up front we are not really going to be in a position to press as that is one front player who would not be able to do it but we generally lack pace to be able to close down quickly and cause teams problems in building up. WBA yesterday just walked through too easily from their final third up to our final third and it led to many half chances and important final blocks by us.
Why are we not set up to close down (even when Crouch is not playing) - am I missing the obvious ? ... is it just down to our lack of pace through the team ? WBA had Rondon, Kanu, McClean, Brunt, Livermore all quick enough to close us down. And apart from maybe a 10-15 minute spell where we found ways to break through their pressing we spent most of the rest of the match either without the ball or with it but not able to make progress.
Against better teams than WBA, pressing us like that so we do not have quality possession and them having far more of the ball in dangerous areas we are going to get punished. Although we got beaten by marginally better teams than WBA in this way too - West Ham, Bournemouth and Newcastle to name a few.
Mich needed 3 points and a great result and I hope we can find our mojo and find a way to improve our performance against teams outside of the top 6 - 8 as we will need to be sure of steering clear of relegation.

I wish some of the worst whingers would just give it a rest. They’ll have plenty of chance to tell us how they were right all along (you know after ten summers of telling us we were doomed). At least wait until we lose next instead of trying to suck up every last ounce of joy from winning this massive 6 pointer.
I’m struggling to see why we should ‘win comfortably’ against a team that has just drawn with Liverpool and lost by one goal to Manchester United as well to be completely honest. Especially as ‘win comfortably ‘ seems to now mean winning by at least 3 goals.

Especially as ‘win comfortably ‘ seems to now mean winning by at least 3 goals. I think you're missing the meaning of win comfortably. 3-1 scoreline suggests a comfortable win but if you went or watched the whole 90 you'll know it was anything but. What I and others wonder is when will we ever see our team dominate a game again.Everytime we get a rare win nowadays its always defending the edge of our box and hanging on for grim death. Does it surprise you we hardly ever win if we play like that. Its like inviting defeat and being surprised when it turns up. I really would like to know what's good about the way we play its been extremely disappointing productively ie in producing points and its absolutely dire to watch. What does it have going for it exactly?

Good to get a win, but let's not get excited.
