thornburyiron

There was only one defender between him and the goal though.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Boys have reacted well

West brom are proving difficult to break down though

Feghouli and snodgrass looking lively though

thornburyiron

We have reacted well but we must stop gifting goals like we do though. We are the worst team in the league at it.

thornburyiron

We miss Carroll at these corners and set pieces.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

So close from a corner

Antonio misses the ball in a goal mouth scramble

West Brom looking dangerous on the break, especially Chadli who's getting the better of Kouyate

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Antonios weight of pass ;doh

Twice now he's booted it at Feghouli when he's only 10 yards away from him

EXETERHAMMER

Antonio not having his best game it is fair to say. Let's hope he goes on to score.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

2 air shots and 2 awful passes

But has troubled at set pieces

thornburyiron

Not one shot on target so far.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Really didn't want half time to come we were on top

We haven't played bad, it's just WBA are just so well organised have to take our chances when they come

On a side note what a mazy run by Lanzini but where was Cresswell..... not offering any support

grey_til_I_dye

thorn

Apart from our goal... ;angry

Decent from both sides, but just shocking from the officials.

thornburyiron

We are missing Andy. Antonio, for all his effort, does not carry the same threat against a well organised defence.
Albion worry me each time they counter attack and look as if they can score a second.

jay_in_cpt

WBA make it so frustrating..
Apart from the very 50/50 decisions , which we both were denied on , unlucky to be 1 down
Antonio has missed a sitter tho...

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

See Gabbiadini (who we were linked with) has scored 2 today......Could've done with someone like him

Just need more class in the 2nd half we've made half chances but final ball is letting us down

Not tons of options off the bench either, Calleri and Fletcher the only real options

FlorinRaduclious

We've had all the possession but struggled for clear cut chances. Agree that Ant is having an in and out game, his lack of technical ability is shown up when playing as a solo #9. Lanzini as well is running into brick walls sometimes. For me their goal should have been a foul on Feg. Our goal IMO saw Ant interfering with play as he was slightly impeding Fosters' view. However, the ref gave for a foul I think, which it certainly wasn't. Only seen one replay of it so far though, would like to see again..

Overall though we are playing well. There's goals to come, I feel it. COYI.

Yeoldhammer

West Brom shown more imo probably deserve the 1-0 lead. We aren't out the game yet though. Next goal is big, if we get it you feel we could push on. If we concede i think the flood gates will open.

thornburyiron

Florin I think it was disallowed for offside.

Lukerz

This game is crying out for two forwards to open them up.

Unfortunately we have 0 on the pitch.

Lukerz

We'll be ok this season but not getting a forward is going to cost us pushing on over the next four months.

Shame. One decent, reliable forward makes us a top 8 regular IMO.

FlorinRaduclious

Great reaction to going 1 down though. No dropping of heads, straight back in. That was good to see. Snod looking our most likely creative force, both in the game and with set plays.

thornburyiron

Snodgrass looks like one of our best buys for a while.

Moojor

looking at the stats on the BBC site, we haven't had a shot on target? I would have thought a disallowed goal would have been classed as a shot on target

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Calleri on for Cresswell....

Deffo opens it up a bit more, can only assume it's 3 at the back with Snodgrass as a LWB

FlorinRaduclious

-Thorn: thanks, I wasn't sure. For me, unfortunately, Ant was interfering from an offside position.

Lukerz

Calleri on for Cress

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Started the half on fire really penned WBA in

Chadli off for a defender which was good less of a threat on the counter you'd imagine

thornburyiron

How many times can Antonio miss kick.

FlorinRaduclious

Glad to see Ant getting help up top. Here's your chance: make a name for yourself Calleri!

Feg and Snod wingbacks. As long as we're attacking it's fine...

thornburyiron

They still look more dangerous when they attack than we do, more of a threat. N
