Having already tasted how wild Brummies can be I was looking forward to playing West Brom. Also, I thought it was a game that we could probably win! I was let down on both fronts. Firstly, it's a mid-week game, it is hard to pull a travelling fan mid-week, they don't often stay over. They usually have to be back at work the next day. If the game is on the weekend then they like to have a weekend in London, this isn't the case midweek. Secondly, for the second game running West Ham failed to hold onto their lead and drew 2-2.
The game wasn't an overall disappointment. Ok so we drew again, but West Brom are a had team to beat. They play very defensive and are hard to break down. Grant's right, we didn't play that bad. It's another point and points are good! We are not too far off pace, just four points off Birmingham and safety. Ok the draw to Birmingham was a team who we are competing with to avoid relegation - we gotta win those games. But West Brom, they're in 11th place right now, ok on the slide, but still currently not in relegation zone. A draw to a team that others may lose to will help us climb. I'm confident - Grant will make good purchases come January and we'll pick up a good few points before. And lets face it, Parker is a hero (as proved by his goal last night)...he won't let us go down!
