Why Were West Brom So Poor At Molineux?

TO DONATE TO DEANO'S CHARITY WALK: ALL DONATIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED https://tafhimalaya26.enthuse.com/pf/... West Bromwich Albion returned to Molineux for a huge Black Country derby—and produced the one performance supporters simply could not accept. In this West Brom podcast, the panel delivers its furious reaction to Albion’s defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Baggies did not lay a glove on their rivals, failed to match Wolves’ intensity and offered almost nothing going forward. Was this merely one dreadful afternoon during an otherwise respectable start, or did the derby expose serious problems in the West Brom squad? The midfield comes under heavy criticism after being completely overrun, with Jayson Molumby and Ousmane Diakité unable to influence the contest. Aune Heggebø is also a major talking point after reportedly recording only four touches in the opening half. Does Albion’s number nine need greater support, or should he be doing considerably more? The goalkeeper was arguably West Brom’s only convincing performer—but when your keeper is the best player in a derby defeat, what does that say about everyone in front of him? We also discuss Albion’s lack of pace, the reliance on a small number of players for goals, the need to become more ruthless and the repeated wastefulness from corners and free kicks. Callum Styles receives recognition as the panel’s leading September Player of the Month candidate before attention turns to October fixtures against Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Wrexham, Preston North End and West Ham United. Have your say: Was this West Brom’s worst performance of the season? Did the players understand what the derby meant? Is Aune Heggebø becoming a concern? How many points should Albion collect during October? Subscribe for West Brom news, Baggies match reaction and honest supporter debate on the Pastures Green West Brom podcast.
