I'll rephrase: pretty poor on quality. Sure they will be disappointed and it's a good sign of how far we've come overall under Röhl tbh... just gutted we didn't play as we can against that lot
Pretty poor performance especially from our key players: bannan, windass, gassama, charles.
Having said that I'm not sure this Untied team is good enough for the automatics. And they are definitely not miles ahead on the pitch!
Played very well tonight and a big factor in us winning for sure. If I'm being hyper critical I still think he's a touch too slow in his passing. But great performance in that second half nonetheless
Beadle really needs to claim crosses when they're 3 yards from his line! Generally his shot stopping is excellent but he has to learn to dominate that 6 yard box
Also think it is more likely he will not be here than here.
But... I still don't really understand the compensation issue with Röhl. If he leaves in the summer for another team - let's say Southampton - is the assumption that he can with no or reduced compensation? If Southampton weren't prepared to pay ~£10m for Röhl in December why would they in the summer?
Genuine question by the way and realise that we don't 100% know Röhl was definitely offered the job (unless I've missed something!)
Happy to accept play offs is highly unlikely now. We just don't have enough depth in key forward and defensive areas (and arguably central too with BBs injury).
Having said that looking forward to the Japanese lad and Cissoko. Think it'll be good to give Ryo a go ahead of MJ who seems to have really dropped off the last few months.
West Brom better team but defo thought we did enough for the point. There really is no excuse for that goal at the end. Really really poor from about 5 or 5 of them! Real shame. Oh well...
