Had a few Albion fans unhappy with my saying Johnstone has done well for the club. 170 games across four years, a promotion and countless England call ups in that time amounts to a good service in my book. A dip in form and a manager bust up for wanting to play doesn’t spoil that

This loan is completely gambling the club’s future. If we go up, great. A chance to stay up, pay the loan and Lai sells. If we don’t, then what? We all want a successful Albion in the Prem. But I’d rather a steadily run club than gamble like this #Baggies

The fact people are writing Dike off already is just unbelievable. The lad has played about four competitive games in the space of a year. He needs at least an 8/10 game run to get up to topsharpness. The lad needs time, not to be written off after pre season games 🙈

1 win in 5 for Albion after last night. Some questioning CC, but overall, he’s won 10/16 league games in charge. The unbelievable run has certainly raised expectations sharper than we all expected. This is a blip/bump in the road, but we can’t forget overall he’s done a top job

The tactical quality of Corberan is so impressive. Knew today that Albion wouldn’t dominate the ball so took players who were in form out of the side, tweaked the system, sat in and waited for a mistake. When they had chance to play, they played…
