Sanguine Morrison is fast becoming one of my favourite players. He's got a bit of the Upsons about him, a 'proper' centre back.

Yeah agreed with this, understated but gets the job done. Fills you with confidence just like Miazga. Ironically the one who makes the most mistakes is Moore

Hound Morrison has been excellent last two games and exactly what we need at the back. A very good signing on the face of it. Like him a lot.

URZZZZSanguine An on negativity in general, I particularly like the assertion in the opening post that Gomes' substitutions caused our best player to give away a penalty.
Simple really. Throughout the game we had a 5-3-2 and were pressing fairly high. The Rino for Puscas sub changed it to 5-4-1
Firstly, we had no real outlet when doing this. We weren’t keeping the ball up the pitch because Joao had no options whenever he received the ball because he didn’t have anyone near him
Secondly, it meant we were dropping deeper and deeper. We were letting West Brom play around our box and obviously when they have the quality of players like Sawyers, Pereira etc the chances are they’ll be able to break through. Which they did
I get we want to hold onto the lead but Gomes did this several times last season too. Rotherham (H), Norwich (A), Preston (H) are all examples of us dropping back too deep. Obviously the players can’t run around the pitch for 90 minutes but I think a better sub would have been Loader for Puscas. Still, it was a very good point and we did very well to even get that far

Agree with all this. Gomes eagerness to consolidate and hold onto a one goal lead or draw has cost us numerous times now. Was extremely frustrating last season

That's not quite accurate. The commentator was speaking specifically about an incident where Miazga had pushed the WBA striker but he had just pushed Morrison, hence our foul.
The shout in the first 5 mins looked stonewall, feel a bit lucky that wasn't given.
All in all, very positive performance where we deserved 1pt and could have nicked all 3. Neither keeper had to make any major saves and a penalty was the only way they were going to score.
Interesting with Rafael on the pen, was telling Zohore where he wanted to him to put it. Zohore did just that but Rafael dived the other way.

Stranded Very few managers at 1-0 away with 10 or so to go would not try to consolidate it. If Ejaria hadn't given away the pen, it would have worked too. One of those things.

Notts Royal What I like about Miazga is he just hoofs it when required. I’ve got no issues with trying to play it out the back when the option is on, but sometimes hoofing to relieve pressure is the best option. That’s something that was alien to Stam and previous players such as Illori
by CountryRoyal » 22 Aug 2019 11:17
LWJ Puscas played as a lone striker with Boye in the gap behind. Swift and Ejaria played deeper as well. (Away formation?)
Rather than having Joao to play off of he was left quite isolated a lot of the time, did a heck of a lot of running in behind but the ball wasn't good enough.
