As with football, this split second of silence before the celebration is just the best 😍

Pathetic again. Can we start to look at the players now? #wba

@SteveHermon Excellent questions Steve, fair play.

Albion boss Eric Ramsay’s radio interview after the 2-0 loss to Coventry. He gives his reaction to the goals conceded, chants of ‘sacked in the morning’ and I ask him if he is the right man for this relegation battle #WBA

We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Sam Allardyce as our new Head Coach ✍️

A huge 6 pointer yet we played it like it was a testimonial. League 1 awaits #wba

We’re in a very awkward position now where we need to fight in a relegation battle and there isn’t a single player in this team that has the personality to deal with it #wba

Far better tonight. We were first to everything and showed fight. Take the point and move on #wba

@RichSCawley All you need now is for Neil Warnock and Keith Curle to start telling players to go off injured and this will be all done in 20 minutes.

Disgusting by Japhet Tanganga. Looks like led with his arm as he flew into an aerial challenge with Sonny Carey. Sheffield United down to NINE men. #cafc

@LewisCox_star Was linked to Strasbourg to replace Rosenior. V highly rated coach.

Exc: Understand Minnesota's Eric Ramsay, 34, interesting #wba again. Was a strong candidate last summer. Albion will have other targets and Ramsay - ex-Chels & Man Utd - is in work, but he is well-regarded & done top job in 🇺🇸. Bit more in tale about PSR. expressandstar.com/sport/football…

@alihampsonsilk The two big chances should have been 2-0 and game over. No getting away from the 1 shot on target tho. (Game ended at the ridiculous sending off)

@chrislepkowski Excellent first half, ok second half. Terrible decision for the red and that was game over. How Crooks stayed on the pitch is a mystery

Not sure I'd be calling that first half 'sensational' (as per comms). We deserved more than a defeat though. Good first half, ok second half. Silly penalty to give away. Silly red card to concede in front of a referee who seemed overwhelmed by the game. #wba

Thoughts with those planning on completing the Panini sticker album #WorldCupDraw

@ashishP The Hawthorns will always respond to positivity and effort on the pitch…

SLC ✈️ Boston ✈️ Heathrow 🚇 Paddington 🚇 Euston 🚆 New Street 🚋 to The Hawthorns in 20ish hours to make it here right on time. WELL WORTH IT. Amazing support in the second half spurring on the comeback, Baggies! 💙 🤍

@sid_lambert There’s only one Keith Curle. Happy birthday champ 💙🤍

On Keith Curle’s birthday, a reminder of this cool, clinical piece of finishing at The Hawthorns. Wrong net, mind. But let’s not sweat the small stuff…

To play negatively and grind out results is bad enough. To do it and lose is shocking. Time for a rethink RM

@CJHall83 Why was Grant playing as target man in a front 3 with Dike and Maja? Plus we fully fell apart after GC came on, woefully out of position.

Sums it up. 1st half Watford were as toothless as us. 2nd they changed things & we didn’t respond. Players looked shellshocked & didn’t match Watford’s desire. RM didn’t react till too late. And why when Dike was on did we constantly turn down chances to cross? Poor! #wba

@SteveHermon @sportbbcwm That’s an odd answer if Maja’s match fit considering his quality and our lack of threat in the final third.

Albion head coach Ryan Mason on the decision not to start Josh Maja at Middlesbrough tonight: “Each game demands different things… but there will certainly be games where he is part of it.” The full interview will be on the #WBA BBC Sounds page asap.

💙🤍

Good perfomance in the end after a shaky first 20 minutes. Heggebo strong and direct, hopefully he can stay fit as we’re going to need him for 90 minutes every game. Outstanding cameo by Price. #wba

@CJHall83 I was only half watching but I thought he looked quality. Hopefully he’s not a new target for the boo boys as he could become a star imo

For anyone overreacting to Diakite’s display vs Kyiv (which I actually thought was ok), a reminder that two season’s ago Cedric Kipre was awful in pre-season & he went on to be our player of the season. Don’t read much into pre season performances, especially early ones! #wba
