Ten-man Baggies latest to trap QPR in low block ball-ache – Report
at 22:24 9 Mar 2025

Noticed this a few weeks back but we are very predictable, and dare I saw boring to watch.
The lack of variation in our play I can only put down to one thing, the lack of quality at the managers disposal. Says something that the best way to get up the pitch is to either hit an aimless long ball or try winning throw on after throw on, inching our way up the pitch.

Its all gone a bit flat.

Nowhere near good enough for the Championship and says a lot about the club that he is anywhere near the first team.

With a big player release/recruitment coming in a few months I'd think mid table would/should be the goal. We can't expect anymore than that.

18 months we'll be ready for a playoff push.

But this isn't the year of transition. Its next season. We are going to have at least 6 to 7 new starters, not squad or subs, but starters next season.
Two ways to look at it; bad, losing all the experience or good, we were pretty poor anyway.

I'm going for good as let's be honest, bar a three month period we have been gash to watch.

It's not the defeat, but the nature of it. At least have a go, do something, anything to grab a goal.
I'm a big fan of Marti, but the performances are becoming very sterile. We just seem to have fizzled out. Really disappointing.

But, you've got to look at the quality of the players. Pretty poor.

Don't worry everyone, come the summer half that team will be out of contract.
Think we got problems now!

Said it after the game against Sheffield United. He can do no more.
I think he'll walk in the summer.

Quite a few have hit the beach, and you can't blame them. A huge summer coming up in terms of recruitment, get it right and a mid table finish is achievable, get it wrong and we could be bang in trouble.
Dunne I think will walk.

Biggest concern, if you were Marti would you want to have to start from scratch again? I think he might walk as well.

Maybe some highbrow reading is required (if your retired you'll have time to read the actual paper attached below).

I've attached a paper, just published by rightwing historian Sir Niall Ferguson, arguing that once an Empire spends more servicing the interest on the national debt than defense then it is almost inevitable that it will decline and eventually collapse.
The US reached this tipping point last year.

It's worth reading because it's from an actual qualified expert, unlike all of us.
Oh, I also attached the Daily Mail article for a quick synopsis.

So they all out for the rest of the season, bar Kolli maybe.

Brilliant!

I cannot believe some of the misinformation and down right lies that some people on here spout defending Putin.
Either people are naive or downright fascist to come out with some of the comments, some clearly tinged with racist undertones.

Suggest some on here read Russian history and look at Russian Imperial maps to see Putins ideal end to this war.

Drive Kingston to Kew. Train Kew to Hammersmith, then Hammersmith to Shepards Bush Market.

1 hour door to door if trains are OK.

Blades' cutting edge too sharp for Rangers' toil and chug - Report

Can't argue with that report. A lot of huffing and puffing but lacking quality in the crucial area of central midfield and striker. Probably the two most expensive areas to recruit.

Yep, Friel is a right back. 18yo and been spotted in photos on Twitter training with the first team.

Because Varane doesn't go forward we are easy to defend against.
In all teams your 6 should be the most creative as all attacks will start with him. He wins the ball and moves it on, but quickly. Varane doesn't do this.

Both Varane and Field are massive problems because their passing and vision is p!ss poor. They create NOTHING. How many assists have the pair got?

1 ASSIST ALL SEASON BETWEEN THEM !!!! From our central midfield pairing. Jesus, that is dog shyte.
Some can moan about missed chances, referees, poor defending etc but that is the biggest problem in this team. To easy to defend against.

And for those saying Varane has potential, he is 24 in September, he better start improving soon so we can flog him.

Lie. They have been confirmed as fighting by South Korean Intelligence and they have been captured.

I hate these political threads as all the right wing nut jobs and apologists appear.

There were options for him, but his body shape is completely wrong when receiving the ball. So it either goes straight back where it came from, or by the time he turns he is either under pressure or the passing lanes have been blocked.

A good central midfielder has already made his mind up where the ball is going before he has received it. Therefore the pass is quicker and players are free to receive.

Varane (and Field) can't do it hence we are slow and predictable.
Anyone else notice that we have become much more of a counterattack team with the ball bypassing the central midfield, rather than dominating teams? Because we have no one in central midfield good enough to control a game.
