worst performance I've seen so far from bobbys side, didn't look up for it at all, crowd was silent, could just feel nothing about the game, both sides were scrappy, thought bobby should have madd his changes a lot earlier than he did, with the latest injuries, for the derby we are in trouble

I thought we were very poor today.
Too many long balls kicked forward out of defence hoping that Lukaku would win headers (which he didn't do most of the time) and hoping that Mirallas and others would make something of the knock-downs (which they didn't do most of the time) or get behind the WestBrom defence (which, again, they didn't do successfully enough times). Where was the passing game that we've enjoyed watching? If we play like this in the derby, then we'll surely not get a decent result. Tonight's performance was like that of a Moyes's Everton team :-(
Looks like Coleman might have a hamstring injury - why do we have so many players suffering these problems this season?
On a positive note, we didn't lose and McGeady showed some decent touches and made some goodish runs when he came on.

If that's the way we're going to play against teams that press us high up the pitch - i.e. punting the ball upfield for our centre forward to compete for headers and then work off the knockdowns (maybe that's why we're looking to sign 6'8" Lacina Traore!) instead of the lovely passing game out of defence that RM has introduced, then I'll be very disappointed. Hopefully, tonight was just a one-off tactic because of the opposition's pressing game, the players we had available, and the fixtures we've got coming up.

Agree Kev. We looked poor in the second half and allowed Albion back into a game we should have had sewn up at half time.

I don't think we were anywhere near as bad as some people are making out tonight, ok we should have won the game but they were always going to come out fighting. Feel like a lot of criticism a bit harsh
