--> not particularly happy with how this is going.

Father Ted is underperforming the ££s put in.
I predict we will lose our next 3 (Chel, Arse, WHU) with a gd of between -8 and -12 in a drab fashion, persisting with this same midfield that has failed for almost a calendar year now.
gd was -4 but otherwise spot on (albeit not too hard to make) prediction.
These seem to be the main posts where I was negative about WBA at length - probably another 2 or 3 half-liners saying things were the same again that week. fwiw, I typically sit on my hands and don't complain itt every week, because it would be pretty boring for me to be saying the same thing over and over and no one else giving a toss.
Look - I may be inclined to gloat when we have random(?) successes but I don't gloat at my team being "****". In this case
I don't even think they are **** - just that they've been deployed terribly by the head coach so far. I'm giving Pulis the benefit of the doubt, but today wasn't particularly encouraging from that point of view either.
--------
fn. for those with nothing better to read: there are also pretty clearly some bizarre things that we don't know about going on at WBA this season - reflected in, eg, repeated press briefings from inside the club against our best player, the bizarre Poco-Gamboa 91st minute sub, Andre Wisdom playing every game, etc etc
