    Good well earned point at Burnley which was never going to be easy. Thought we'd get something if we managed to get the first goal which we did. Impressive first half performance with when we were very much on the front foot, but couldn't match it second half as Burnley got more into the game. Still any point gained at one of the promotion hopefuls away from home can only be positive. Think we'll improve with more game time for our new signings.

    Good going forward yesterday, but atrocious at the back. What a shit start to the season.

    Couldn't deal with your press in the second half and you caused us all sorts of problems. Shame as thought the first half was decent.

    I've not been in years, but can go to a few games this year. Agree about Scott I was looking forward to seeing him play and he was good.

    I didn't take suncream or a hat which upon reflection was a mistake sat in the front of the Dolman.

    Hull with the lowest expected goals of any team yesterday, defensively, we've really looked strong in these first two games.

    Hull obviously settled for the point after half time, but the likes of Storey and Lindsay have really bought into Lowe's set up, and teams don't look like playing through us like they did last year.

    Much bigger tests to come compared to Wigan and Hull mind, Luton away will be a good barometer.

    Scott’s a player mate, Man U sniffing round him atm.

    We are utterly ****ing shite and may well drop this season.

    Not a chance you’ll go down this season. Plenty of teams who are worse than you, just simply a tough start.

    Weimann will get you goals, Bentley is a great keeper for this division and Alex Scott can dictate from midfield. You still created chances on Saturday, but we tightened up our defending and yours was a bit lax which allowed us to win the game.

    Is it though? We've played Hull who have just signed a load of foreign players and haven't really had any time to gel as a team (and got battered in all but scoreline at Preston on Sat), you and now Wigan newly promoted sides, and then Luton and Cardiff who aren't really fancied much this season.

    Scott may well leave mate, I genuinely think we're knackered.

    Lose the next few and I think Lansdown will pull the trigger on Pearson too.

    Will be an interesting one tonight. I think we are obviously weak in center of midfield where I think West Brom will dominate the ball. Our front three though, if we can get them involved anything can happen.

    I actually think though it will be a low scoring game. 0-0 or 1-0 either side.

    Monday night football sees last year's Sky darlings at home to this year's Sky darlings , looks a 4-3-3 from the Baggies v a 3-4-2-1 from the Hornets , I reckon 0-0 , hope I'm wrong :hopefully

    If you two teams are in need of a striker I'm sure for a bargain £7.5 million the upcoming fit as a fiddle League 1 Golden Boot winner Jonson Clarke-Harris would listen to offers as would our chairman .

    I'd take a draw,

    Attack looks very good of course for us but the midfield is weak.

    Swift/Wallace are bound to score - fans really wished we had brought them.

    TBH Our whole season depends on if Sarr, Dennis and Perdo are all here in September.

    IF 2 or more go then that is our chance of promotion gone.

    Result wise wrong but otherwise spot on. We are getting absolutely dominated in the center of midfield. West Brom have been excellent and deserve to be two or three up. Just that mad bit of quality we have is the only reason we are still in this.

    Yes - totally over run us in midfield and got the pace on us in defence.

    Maybe them scoring will wake us up.

    But this is probably what it will be like if Dennis/Sarr/Pedro go.

    Decent watch for the neutral .

    Quality Sarr goal but Baggies should be out of sight if it wasn't for poor finishing from Grant & good goalkeeping from the new Ben Foster .

    Wallace looks like he'll be an excellent signing for the Baggies , best player on the pitch tonight so far .

    Sublime to the ridiculous eh?

    Awful penalty by Sarr.

    Somehow we could have been ahead when we ought to be losing 5-1.

    Got away with one there.

    Would have really been daylight robbery had that penalty gone in...

    We really were 2nd best.

    WBA ought to have won easily.
