Well there certainly weren't anything like 24000 there today. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest it looked like a healthy attendance and I'd trust the figures. I've been there with 17,000, 20,000, 22,000 and today it looked like there was a good number in the ground. I hope the attendances do start to get a bit of bump especially if we can gather some momentum as there is nothing worse than seeing plenty of empty seats.

kevinhectoring Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Jimbo Ram said: Yes, agree about the attendance, not so much that we gave as good as we got though. We defended extremely well and 0-0 would have been a great result under the circumstances ? We thought there were way more than 20,000 there. No doubt they had better control of the game and the better chances. But it reminded me of Fulham, we just would not lie down.

MaltRam Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Amazed with what I saw today. WBA haven't scored many in recent times, but the team we had to field looked well short of a result on paper. Absolute guts and bottle to grind out 3 points from that. With everything that's going on, the fact that we haven't rolled over but are showing masses of enthusiasm is inspirational. We've had so many teams miles more talented in every regard, but so few I've had as much pride in. Absolutely smashing day out again. COYR.

ram59 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'm not Morrison's greatest fan, but for the goal, he sprinted from miles away in order to put pressure on what should have been a routine defensive clearance, definitely deserved an assist for that goal.

CornwallRam Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Expected us to get battered today. We usually struggle against big, physical teams, even if they're not actually particularly good. With the quality West Brom have, I anticipated a heavy loss. In the end, we made them look poor. OK, we didn't look brilliant ourselves, but 1-0 was a fair result overall. I was particularly impressed with Allsop. OK, the save at the end was excellent, but even before that, he looked really assured. He didn't have many saves to make, but some of that was down to his excellent positioning. Bizarrely, without the points deduction, we are 8 points off the play offs. In a normal season, a good transfer window and we might have been shooting for 6th by April. The atmosphere was excellent again. There's a lot to like about this squad, this manager and this club at present.

Crewton Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 7 hours ago, kevinhectoring said: it was an awful set up to start. Festy and Byrne as a combination gets worse not better, and yet again the relentless long ball to left wing fozzie was schoolboy football. Baldock was again utterly pointless. Credit to Rooney , he changed it and pretty early on. Thought he was right to bring on Morrison but RM will only give you control and possession if he’s playing deeper. We rode our luck in no small part because of the commitment and energy. COYR Commiserations to your wife.

Carl Sagan Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 6 hours ago, Gaspode said: Can we all just pause and spare a thought for the poor referee - he wanted West Brom to win so badly and will have been absolutely gutted by the result….and not only that, but he’ll need to explain to his mate Livermore how he failed to deliver the win (at least I assume they’re mates after seeing him fist-bump Livermore when they were warming up before the game!) It was 9 men against 12 today with neither Plange nor Baldock contributing after the opening 5 minutes and the ref absolutely desperate for the Baggies to win. I reckon 20+ terrible decisions, including not giving us the first half pen for handball. Everything went West Brom's way, but the Derby players didn't help themelves when stopping to look at the ref when an opposition player threw himself to the floor. But I guess they knew the whistle was inevitable. When Thompson was booked for his first foul, Knight pointed out to the ref that he'd already been fouled five times but no cards were given to the opposition. Hence Knighty had to draw on all his international experience when foul number six happened, to pirouette in midair to force the ref to give a yellow to one of the opposition. Seven minutes of second half injury time still wasn't enough to allow West Brom to score, though in part thanks to a good save from Allsop on 95 minutes. Also, why didn't any of the Derby fans hop over the hoardings and nick the towels? Surely that was the right thing to do? SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 They're not taking it well down in Slave City either : "Sky Sports absolute wan*ing themselves into a frenzy over a 1-0 win. No doubt if they go down they’ll be the first L1 side to feature 35 times on TV next season" It must be tough to be insignificant.

That pretty much explains what it’s all about. I started taking my son when he was about 5, used to pick him up when we scored. Can’t do that anymore as he is 17 and 6ft 3 ( I’m 5ft 7) . But we were at old Trafford when we won on penalties and he picked me up and hugged me. Can’t think of any other situation in life he would do this!! football is more important than a tax bill !! norwichram, SaffyRam, angieram and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
