Only saw the second half. Happy with the point but it’s 2 dropped for me. Their goal was offside and we had an extra man for twenty minutes.

Colwill was positive and should start for me, but Davies should have come on sooner and he should have moved away from Bartley who was too strong for him. Let Collins occupy him.

Not a pen IMO.

Agree with all this apart from the penalty call.

As Tuerto has said elsewhere, we'd be baying for that one if it was the other way around and feel aggrieved to have not got it. But, their goal was offside.

Thought Morison didn't manage it well enough when WBA had the red. That was a massive advantage to us and we didn't exploit it. If anything, I really couldn't tell they were a player short as they created some brilliant chances.

No stand-outs for me today but very pleased we came away with a point but very disappointed we dropped 2.

Not a penalty. Their player threw himself to the ground after he felt an arm on him. Their goal was clearly offside. Good performance though. West Brom manager needs to get a grip.

Just on that point about Davies moving away from Bartley and letting Collins occupy him, this is where I think we lack leadership. It's up to our manager, captain, and senior players to take some responsibility. Davies is a creative player and we desperately need that. Great goal from Collins but he's bland. Thought Harris showed some flair and sparkle today.

The most glaring deficiencies in our side is our inability not to win a second ball.

Morison’s words
"It was all caused by them having a stonewall penalty and the referee not giving it.

Did he rally say that? If so, then he's seeing the infringement not as an opposing manager but as a striker. He'd have been all over it. It was a penalty in my opinion.

This has been a massive problem for ages. It's so frustrating. Heading the ball in 'defensive' situations straight back to an opposition player (I'm looking at you Nelson and Flint).

There was one passage of play where we had possession, passed it sideways and backward all the way back to Smithies, because WBA was pressing only for Smithies to hoof the ball straight back to an Albion player at almost the exact same point on the park we started passing back from.

Incredible the turnaround in his Cardiff career, from an overpriced (I'd say he still is) donkey to cult hero!

I prefer him to Nelson and at the moment he's giving Morrison a run for his money.

Not a penalty for me. Yes, Pack had hands on him, but the WBA player obviously dived. There was no pulling, no shoving. That's the kind of bullshit that gets given by VAR. Most refs wouldn't give that in real-time.

The thing is that if Pack had kept his hands off him then noone would have thought it a penalty.

is there anyone out of picture, to the left?

Dont know, But You can even seen the Lino exactly inline with play, so no excuse that they were catching up

Pack got away with one there. There would be murder on here if that had been one of ours in the 94th minute.

Then again their goal looked miles offside so maybe that levelled things up?

if it had been KM going down in the same manner we would have been screaming for a Pen

BUT having said that, if course it wasn't a pen, the player looked like he had been dragged back by his hood in the playground

its just a shame that football had ended up like this, but its happening at U10 level right now ( we played a U11 boys dev team between christmas and the NY, 3 of the boys were on Southamptons books and one Swindons, we played 9 V 9 and any contact, and I mean anything, they were rolling around on the floor, one player was outstanding at it, any tackle and he is down, in the pen area he would add a extra rolls, the worse was a front on tackle in the pen box, nothing to it, but he was down and rolled THREE times, the girls laughed at him and told him to get up, it was painful to watch, I spoke to the coach at the end of it, mentioned they have all the skill in the world ( and they did ) But every throw-in they took was a foul throw ( teach them the basics first ? ? ? ) the coach defended it and said thats the way the game has gone, you either learn the skill or you get left behind he mentioned if you dont coach it, you are a dinosaurs he wants to play again in Feb )
