Just back...

I would agree completely on the opening post. Today was a free hit, not expected to win and by half time we could have been 3 down but for Griffiths. Second half was most impressed with the proactive decisions made by the Manager and we were much better. The difference for me was the quality of the Norwich subs that ultimately won them the game at the end. Their Director of Football was getting pelters early in the season but they look like they have a good young squad to me. The goal music is utter dire

I went too and agree with Jacko's summary - spot on. Beilik going off injured affected us massively.
Today was a free hit and there were some Baggies fans giving stick to the players at the end of the game, which I felt was out of order.
My youngest was on the train to London post game and bumped into Mikey J and Issac Price on the same train. Mikey was more open to chat and said basically the same as you Jacko regarding the game & Beilik.

How many bloody times has Bielik had to go off injured ffs? I’d say that was at least the 4th time. The man is made of glass. That is something that has plagued him throughout his career and presumably why he lost his place at blues. I imagine the wrong question was asked of the data….

Ramsay said it was cramp. They wanted to give Bielik as long as possible to build up his fitness. Hopefully for the vital 3 games next week we will have Phillips, Bielik and Campbell

That is wise. I thought it looked more precautionary. It was the turning point of the game really.

Indeed. Was square pegs in round holes after that in defence.

It seems we have we have a difference in the fanbase here. Those at the game seem relatively calm and understanding of the result and performance. And those that didn’t attend, less so.

It’s either the view from TV or live, along with the atmosphere, or the difference in the fan base that would travel to Norwich for this game.

Not wishing to start a #superfan argument, just interesting that a lot in attendance are more sanguine than those sat at home on t’internet.

I watched every minute, just wasn’t there. Fair fucks to those who went; it was an unattractive game at an unappealing time, and an even less appealing journey. But proud we’ve still got Baggies among us who’ll go to that time and trouble. Like the 1,106, you are heroes.

Whether you were there or not, the first half was awful. But then, he played the kids like we wanted. It’s when the pro’s came on it got frustrating. We got level and were on top. And then gifted the game back.

It’s not the end of the world, but problems remain. Still, fair play to all those who went.

Haven't seen anything of the game, but when I saw the team selection I wasn't expecting anything else but a defeat. It was a team that had "we need to concentrate on the league" written all over it. There are issues and concerns about Ramsay but funnily enough yesterday IMO he did the right thing and given how threadbare our squad is again IMO we got the right result.

I was there yesterday. I know we weren't at full strength and accept we needed to get playing time into legs. However, apart from a fifteen to twenty minute spell in the second half I couldn't decipher what it was we were actually trying to achieve as a team. We lacked structures to support attacking intent, didn't seek to either block up midfield or dominate possession and regardless of personnel we certainly didn't seem to have much in the way of defensive structures either.

In short it was all pretty meh and to my untrained eyes Ramsay doesn't appear closer to finding answers to whatever questions he may be posing himself or the players. I am not remotely sanguine about the six hour plus return journey which was interspersed by yet another ninety plus minutes of largely directionless shitball. We were allocated 2,022 tickets and when I looked on the ticket site Thursday there weren't many left. Those of us who were there backed the team as well as could be expected in the circumstances we find ourselves in.
