I actually think we'd achieve midtable obscurity as a minimum if that happened. I can't think of anyone else who can save the mess we're already in.
I saw a table of stats before the red button feature went live. Can’t recall the exact measures, but WBA were 23rd or 24th for them. Things like pass completion and the like. West Brom will have expected to be challenging regardless of who they gave the job to. It’s not surprising they don’t like the style on show.
Give Schopp a fully fit squad and the experience he asked for, and I’ll judge them accordingly. But I’d never want anyone ever again at the club who didn’t try to play football.
People always say it as a joke, but genuinely, I would drive there and deliver him to Oakwell if it helped. And I don't particularly like driving all that much.
This what we are being served up right now, can't even be classed as trying to play football. It is beyond awful. Give me Ismael and his style every week. Blood guts and thunder. 100 effort on every aspect of the game. Going into every game believing you can beat anyone. And despite the long ball as you like to call it, we had plenty of intricate play as well. But no one wants to mention that.......
