Ok so here are my honest thoughts on yesterday's game .
Let me start off by saying I am well happy with a win . At 2-0 down I honestly didn't think we would even claw back a draw not alone a win .
Of course heggebo and Johnstone was fantastic as I said yesterday so they deserve their flowers . And to be fair to mason his subs looked good and we seemingly changed formation for once aswell . Which again worked so credit for that also .
Now because of this win has my opinion and or stance changed on mason ? . In all honesty no and here is why. That first half was one of the worst performances I've ever seen Albion play at home.
For mason to make 4 subs at half time indicates to me that he got the team line up horribly wrong in the first place . The first thing I said to my old man what was SIJ doing starting Infront of grant . The call to start Gilchrist over Campbell looked a poor one ( Campbell looked great when he came on by the way )
Despite the win he just proved again that he got it so horribly wrong . And those wrong decisions giving us a 2 goal deficit 9/10 result in a loss .
Personally if there wasn't loud boos at half time and " your getting sacked in the morning " chant I truly don't believe he makes those subs . To me they seemed like panic subs . ( By the way I am fully aware that they all worked ) But to me personally if there wasn't massive pressure put on by the fans he doesn't make wholesale changes .
I think a massive question mark still looms over his head for me despite the win . If we played every single week like our first half against Coventry and blues and our second half against Swansea I would be able to see his vision. But sadly 3 quality single half performances in let's say the last 8-10 games isn't good for west Bromwich Albion
I get we aren't good enough to be play offs but we certainly are better then the 17th position we started in yesterday before kick off .
Another thing I didn't like was ( and I think I noticed this correct me if I'm wrong)
It seemed to me like moloumby was shushing his own fans when he scored . I could be wrong but that's what it looks like .
I am a massive fan of moloumby . I always flew his flag even when people was saying he was s**t when we activated that clause to buy him from Brighton .
But if I am correct in what I thought I saw . Jesus Christ man you got criticized for a reason . Stupid yellow cards leading to a sending off and costing us the game at Coventry. You can't just take all the praise and then have a tantrum when you get critiqued . And rightly critiqued in my view .
But yeah sorry it's a long one that was just my honest thoughts
Well happy with a win of course . It certainly was a rollercoaster of a game . I think all of our lots blood pressure went through the roof yesterday 😂
Apologise it was a long one lol
