@CJHall83 I’d agree if there were 15 games left, but we now need to win probably 4 of the last 9. I can’t see us doing that.

We may have finished the night in our lowest position of the season so far but I don’t think I’ve felt this positive about us for months. Gutting to have victory ripped away from us so late on but everything else was there, fight, organisation, work rate and a threat! #wba

@Reynox78 Agreed. The appointment of Ramsey is what has sent us down. Just don’t see us picking up the wins we need now. Have to go from winning 0 in 13 to 4 of the last 9.

@WBABenbow Stewart had a similar chance 1st half and didn't score either. Think if had appointed Morrison instead of Ramsey would probably have been ok

Had to win that game. Dike played well but should have scored that header. They then get one off the shoulder. Bad luck, but that’s what happens when you don’t take what chances come to you. The amount of xG wins we have had this season is astounding.

@AndyfromNewHamp That’s fair - it showed what a catastrophe the managerial change was. I do feel the odds on us to go down now aren’t short enough - I think we are totally done for. We would be cut adrift if not for the Leicester points deduction.

@WBABenbow From someone who had a bet on this, we were apparently 20/1 pre Norwich debacle and 8/1 after the 5-0 shellacking. My time line was an approximate, his is an exact. Just stating what the bookies saw us doing, obviously it's been a decline ever since as other teams gain momentum.

I'm never someone who'd bet against my own club, but the bookies reflect trends. Our relegation odds, preseason, was apparently 80/1. Between Mason leaving/Ramsay arriving, the odds plummeted to 8/1. Seeing how we were playing it was overpriced. We are now Even Money for the drop

@AndyfromNewHamp Better strike rate than Dike…

It's worth noting that George Campbell's ration of goals per league games, [close to one in ten] is a huge improvement on his MLS days, [two goals in 118 games]. The three Albion strikes are testimony to his development as a player.. George's character has stood out this season.

@andyh1884 ‘West Bromwich Albion has entered the chat’

The club is rotten throughout and is going to get exactly what it deserves in 11 games time

I’ve never seen anyone look less like a leader than Eric Ramsay. We need someone players would run through a brick wall for, Ramsay has the permanent look of someone who has just had his lunch money stolen.

@AndyfromNewHamp @TheLiquidatorP1 @chrislepkowski @StockholmBaggie @GoldbergRadio I’m sure @chrislepkowski will remember this chat from the earliest days of the Albion Assembly. That and local beers, drive people nearby - we wanted effectively a tailgating culture, but with desi food, better beers, and public transport. Never got there though.

@chrislepkowski @StockholmBaggie @TheLiquidatorP1 @GoldbergRadio Just been chatting on this exact theme. It’s a bit of an own goal and an exploration that would reflect our culture and provide local businesses with extra income and give punters that genuinely missing criteria that seemingly other sporting environments have. Options. Sad truth.

@Jsnow1265 There are no meds. It’s a debilitating disease.

@WBABenbow does he not take the meds?

Seeing the reaction to some of the “heckling” from John Davidson. People with Tourette’s shout things involuntarily, that they know are the worst things they could say in that situation. It absolutely does not mean they are being racist. People should watch I Swear. #baftas

@JuniorKwasi_ He shouted “fuck the Queen” in front of the actual Queen. He shouted a racial slur as he knows the last thing he should do is shout a racial slur. It doesn’t mean he means it. It’s an illness.

Girl please 🤣🤣🤣 why a racial slur?

@yoslolz Because if you watched the film you would know that the illness means you can say the thing that you know is the worst thing possible. He shouted “fuck the Queen” in front of the actual Queen. He will be mortified to have shouted what he did tonight. It’s involuntary.

whose job is it to give a flying fuck about involuntary heckling. he said stfu to their counterparts then yelled a SLUR at them. stop the nonsense. the only thing people should be focused on is checking if delroy and mbj are ok after being such class acts

people are fucking insane cause how is the reaction to two black men on stage being called the nword 'you should really go and watch the movie based off the man who shouted the slur"

Robert Aramayo is undeniably brilliant in I Swear. Good choice #BAFTA

@americanreqiuem @rednaxella44 @Variety The whole point is that people with Tourette’s shout things involuntarily, that they know are the worst things they could say in that situation. It absolutely does not mean they are being racist.

@rednaxella44 @Variety Are you rac!st too

#BAFTAFilmAwards host Alan Cumming thanked the audience for their “understanding” after a series of audible outbursts from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson interrupted the ceremony. • One incident saw Davidson shout the n-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. • Davidson, the inspiration for BAFTA-nominated “I Swear,” was diagnosed with Tourette’s at 25. His symptoms include tics and involuntary outbursts. • “You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience,” Cumming told the audience. wp.me/pc8uak-1lGWhl

@DavidFr93914926 And 9 from his last nine. That would have kept us up.

@WBABenbow They got 10 points from the first 4 matches

Albion got 18 points from the last 9 home games under Ryan Mason, losing one. Things weren’t great, but this collapse was not on the cards and is one totally of the Board’s making. If Ramsay is in charge for another week we are down. I fear the damage has already been done. #wba

@jahwibble @iainbate I think that’s the issue. He may have all the coaching badges, but he transparently isn’t a leader. And that should have been blatant to anyone who interviewed him.

@iainbate @WBABenbow We were at least competitive at home under Mason. Since Ramsay it's been absolute surrender. This is a shite bunch but Mason got a tune out of them at home, and despite the away record was putting in performances. Ramsay commands zero respect

@iainbate Well aware (10 not 12?), but we were very unlucky in some. It certainly didn’t feel like the wheels were coming off. Not winning at Leicester was a freak result.

@chrislepkowski I’m not convinced Mason was the right man, but I also never felt like we were heading for relegation. Whereas now I think we will be effectively down in 7 days. Grossly negligent to have sacked him and appointed who they did.

@WBABenbow I think it is possible to question the appointment of Ramsay, while also questioning whether Mason was the right man. I've said this on the pod, but a manager wouldn't dream of filling an XI of inexperienced youngsters. Yet we appointed 2 bosses who are utter rookies. Why?
