We keep doing it. It is frustrating to say the least. Credit to West Brom, they started very well and we didn’t, and it is not good enough
We have to try to stop that somehow. They didn’t have to work very hard for their goals today.
At 3-0 down we had a mountain to climb, but I always believed we would get back in the game. I think on the balance of play we deserved something out of the game. And I think we are disappointed to come away not having won it.
They had caused us some problems with some direct play early on, but they stopped doing that and then we jumped all over them really.
There was chance after chance. We are disappointed we haven’t come out of here with a win, but there was no shouting or screaming at half-time.
I just said to them that they had let themselves down, that individuals had let them down or mistakes. But they know, they don’t have to be told – they are professional footballers, they know it, and you just have to try to stop it. And the only way to stop it is to leave these individuals out if they are not doing the job.
We were 3-0 down and to be walking away now with a point, we have got to be happy. But we are not, to be honest, on the balance of play. We just think we should have nicked all three.”
People’s expectations might be that we should be Champions League or whatever. But wherever you end up after 38 games, that is where you deserve to be. It is as simple as that
We are going to try between now and the end of the season to get as many points as we can and see where it takes us, but that table never lies.”
May God have mercy upon our souls.
