Ratings & Reactions: West Brom v Villa

[Vive_La_Villa]

How have we not won that. It’s devastating we lost to a handball but we have to take heart from that fact we smashed Derby and Boro and on another day would have won that game comfortably.  

First half we could have been better. Hutton could handle Barnes and Taylor couldn’t handle Philips. Once Elmo came on we looked more comfortable. 

Just carry on playing that way the wins will return. Starting on Saturday.

Nyland should have held on though, disgraceful for the officials not see it but we should have been 4 up Tammy had 2 easy chances

We are the best team in the league by far. 

We only lose points by mistakes - players and officials.

See you on the 23rd

Was going to give the ref an average rating up until the handball goal. That decision was beyond very poor, and giving the ref a very poor rating seems too kind.

If it was the other way around, I would take the win but feel a bit shy about it.

This is why we need VAR

Yup, they've got to see through masses of bodies.

I'm fuming, but it's often an impossible job. If we want refs to be more accurate, we need to give them the tools to do their job.

[thunderball]

Hard to take, but we are getting better, and the best team in the league. 

On another night we put away 3 sitters/post of 5 we missed.

keep playing like this, and strengthen in Jan and we should be challenging for automatics

Nyland is fairly criticised some of the time, however it is now obvious some of you either have a vendetta against him or watched a totally different game, OR just letting frustration get to you. Watch the replays, he did nothing wrong!

[turvontour]

You cant blame the officials at all. Theyre human. 

Watch sky downplay it though. 

The balls rolling wide but he palms it in.

[villalad21]

Nyland yet again cost us.

How are we suppsoed to be promoted when he is costing us 20+ points?

[rbcuk]

Feels like a loss that does after what happened, nyland needs to **** off another game he’s cost us points and no pass try to beat everyone kodjia can do one aswell

[Stockport_Villain]

Robbed by the ref and linesman. What the point of the 4th official watching a reply and not calling over to the officials. 

As for those calling it as Nyland fault. You’ve got an agenda. Never in a million years can he be at fault for that........

[Django_Zooms]

If we miss promotion by two points, that will hurt more than Maradona 1986. For years. Officials in the Championship are appalling. The linesman was looking straight along the goal line at Cheat Rogriguez playing netball.

How did the linesman not see the hand ball (the second one) clearly looking at it. 

Scandalous that the rat felching, incompetent munger didn't give that. It's impossible to belief he couldn't see that. That along the line camera angle is absolutely damning. There's only one place that word removed's flag should be stuck.

However, it really, really shouldn't have got to that. Massive time and space to stick the ball in and a goalkeeper who, once again, showed he doesn't have the strength or stones to clatter in and win what should be his.

Exactly. These are the tought games were points are a good result. Even if should have won. Just beat all those below us and we drop points in these games. 

Still hurts though, 

[kiltorken]

I suppose it shows how far we've come recently that we are gutted by an away draw at one of the best teams in the league. 

[PompeyVillan]

Gah, I'm still coming to terms that we've been unfairly robbed of 2 points here. There isn't much that we can do about it now. There's no point blaming ourselves as a team because regardless of this that or the other, we've only drawn because of a complete balls up from the referee.

However, we deserved to win and to say that against an objectively very good West Bromwich team is a testament of how well we are playing at the moment. 

We'll have to make the points up elsewhere, I don't doubt we will.

Thats awful. No ones fault. Its how football currently works. Fair play to Rodriguez saying it hit his hand and went in and the ref didnt see it.

If we miss out on automatics by a point it is disgusting.

 

Fair play?! F*** that! He could hardly deny it. Fair play would have been telling the ref he handballed it (twice)!

Cnut!

Absolutely robbed. Ridiculous decision. Again we show our credentials. Tammy should have put the game to bed before but its still on the officials

Just hope we dont miss out on autos because of 1 point. Even though that would be Bruces fault.

El Ghazi was on another level tonight. Really pleased for him. Hopefully Jacks ok for next week.

FU Rodriguez you pu$$y

Tammy missed at least three golden chances. Refs make one error. Yet the game is on them and not Tammy? Take off those claret and blue glasses bro, we threw this away.
