Doku was tremendous today. Unplayable. City comfortable winners against a lacklustre Liverpool, who looked about as intelligent in attack as Albion usually do.

Florian Wirtz looks like flop of the season at this rate, £100m yet so meek, doesn’t look like he he’ll make a difference at all.

Proper poachers finish from Heggebø yesterday. Great to see as he’s had his doubters so far, I can see why but I also see promise in the lad. Lovely cross from Price who should be playing on the right wing supplying that kind of service, not Grant who is not a winger and never has been #WBA

Hate to admit it given the hatchet job he did on Maja a while back, but Dan Ballard is some centre ‘arf, and may get himself in the England picture soon if he keeps playing like he has been.

Goals and points. Better. Mason survives, for now.

Nice cross from Price. We absolutely could play him on the right and get two up top, with a less cautious manager that is.

My man Heggebø coming up with the goods 😁

Sounds like Maja’s been shit, Grant’s been his usual self (shit) and Price has been his usual self (quiet). MJ as always the lone spark of any kind. I feel for Mason to an extent as these average attackers will cost him his job sooner or later.

WBA 0

I hope Mowbray’s pissing himself at this. He knew the issues this squad had, knew our attackers lack heart, knew there was a chronic lack of creativity in our side. Letting the grifters in our squad bin him off was shocking decision. I will die on this hill.

Disappointing

No Championship club is printing money you greedy twat. This can be Albion’s excuse when they come to play us and we charge £60 a ticket with no concessions. We're not printing money in the Championship - King www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Clearly MJ has been too adventurous lately and so it’s time to bring back Klarna. Bollocks to that. I’ll be watching the Champions League.

This

The attack in Cambridgeshire sounds horrific. Thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families. I hope all recover, physically and mentally, in time. There’s a growing sense of lawlessness in our country of late, a society that feels broken and not united. It’s sad, and worrying.

Patel and Nestor must learn quickly that Albion fans can’t stand drab football. It’s only ever been temporarily acceptable as a way to survive in the PL. Never in the Championship. Our team may not be great, but that’s no excuse for the cowardly dross they’ve served up this season by #WBA

Dull. I fear that no matter who the manager is, these players will always be limp in attack. Price and SIJ no way near at it today, Maja isolated, only MJ offering spark and threat as usual. Feels like the only way we create genuine opportunities is via set plays.

“Now those Gooners have seen the light and embraced my set piece reliant ways, they’re gonna win the Prem” - love it TP 😂 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Totally understand the anger re the ticket price for the Cov game. Can never understand however, why as a response to this, Albion don’t just charge them £50 when them come to play at The Hawthorns. And then double the price of food and drink in the away section when they visit too. Make a point.

Losing narrowly away to the pre-season title favourites is not particularly worrying, but I totally get the frustration about the lack of attacking ambition. I want to back Mason and give him time, but it’s hard to truly get behind him when this is what he serves up.

Would take a point right now from today’s game, and no doubt Mason would too, so it’ll be the usual grim spectacle. I won’t watch as I don’t currently have the means. Good luck Baggies, given you’ll likely need it.

BTA had a lot of critics at WBA, many said £3m was great money for him. Now he’s the most productive forward in the Championship for a rival down the road. You could see the potential, and determination to improve, was abundant in the lad - some need to realise players improve, but not over night.

Didn’t see Albion tonight, sounds like the standard dull performance however. Last January we appointed a manager who wanted us to be entertained. Players and fans chased him out before May. We’re getting what we deserve. Own it.

Blimey, Joleon Lescott’s clearly shelled out on a new head of hair

Price and Johnston can frustrate sometimes, there are games where you want more from them, but they are both capable of moments of magic, and I’m glad to see yesterday they both produced one for a goal each. Mercurial talents.

Weren’t Blues and Wrexham supposed to come up and piss the league?

Glad to see #WBA won, and scored two nice goals in the process. Perhaps it’ll tempt me back for upcoming games. From the looks of the table we may be involved in one hell of a battle for promotion/playoff spots this season, but it’s early days yet.

I haven’t bought a ticket for today’s Albion game yet. I’m free for the day, I can afford it… but do I want to pay £32 to watch this boring team play cautious, unambitious football once more? I guess home games have been a bit less handbrake on, but it’s sad that I’m thinking all of this.

3-0 down and yet to have a shot on target. A grim day for Albion. The playing style means Mason needs results and needs to keep days like this very rare, or else he’ll soon be added to the scrap heap of many managers we’ve created in recent years.

Sounds like the usual thrilling Mason-ball. He’s not helped by the lack of attacking quality we have though. Can easily imagine every hint of attack is rendered useless whenever Wallace gets on the ball.

Half an hour in, 1-0 down, and…

Great stuff from Griffiths, Phillips and Mepham tonight. Solid #WBA

Get in. Thank you Josh Griffiths, it wouldn’t have been the sketchy win it was without your heroics

I don’t like to moan when we’re winning, but the lack of attempt to attack and cause them more problems is borderline cowardly from Albion. If sitting on this lead costs us again, it’s our own fault. Get at them lads

Maja’s a lucky boy to be starting tonight given he went all Hugill on us on Friday. We know what he’s capable of though, and hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity. COYB.

Not sure what the point of having so many teams in the Champions League is, when some of them are the likes of Pafos and Kairat, lambs to the slaughter who just make up the numbers.

I dream of one day seeing a full back who steams forward on the overlap at Albion like this Diouf fella does for West Ham

Stuff of potential champions from Arsenal there. Game on in the title race, I hope, given there wasn’t a title race last season.

Newcastle goal absolutely should stand, but given the amount of scrutiny on the Arsenal penalty decision, the slight push from Woltemade on Gabriel deserved just as much.

The never ending tragedy for football that is VAR. It will never not be shit until they use it as sparingly as possible.

🌈 🐐 #Kigali2025

Rwanda and Kigali have been a beautiful setting and provided a brilliant course for the worlds today. The crowds have been awesome. Chapeau #Kigali2025 This is how you run a bike race, Spain.

Pogacar bossing the worlds again. Phenomenon. Can’t see the chasers reeling him in from here. I know his domination can seem boring but we’re witnessing greatness every time he does this.

Fellows assists Armstrong to score for Southampton.

Laughing at United. They’re so bad it’s eye watering. How Amorim is still there is beyond me, results and performances are constantly horrific for a club of their size and the money they spend. Terrible.

That Maja miss gets worse every time you see it. FFS man

Gutted. That was a right sucker punch, even if it probably made for the fair result. Maja has to bury those chances if he’s to get back in the starting 11. Albion are really solid on the whole, but have to show more ambition in attack to go and win these games, not just hang on in hope.

Three Villa fans and a Judas as the Sky Sports line up, bloody ‘ell. At least their loanee has notched to balance that out somewhat

Good half Albion. Wonderful goal, and you can tell there will be more opportunities on the break too, but Leicester are a better side and will dominate the ball, so lots of concentration needed yet. I want more from Price, want to see him take games like this by the scruff and do more on the ball
