Riaz Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Could only hear our fans on the radio, when we were 4 nil down! They clearly outsung the baggies fans, who are usually quite loud. Fair play to em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityboy Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Oddly, despite getting beaten 4-1 we weren't all that bad today. Not great, but not bad. Lets be honest, WBA are just a good side who'll go back up again this year. The atmosphere was fun though! 4-0 and you ****** it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ferret Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Some bits from the Baggies forum about our away support Special shout out to those Bristol Fans though, apart from Stoke i dont think ive ever saw anyone sing as loud and as often as them in a game, even when they were 4-1 down, fair play to them! They gave it a go today, despite being 4-0 down at the time, fair play to them. However I must say apart from the disgraceful booing when Mattock was stretchered off they produced some first class support, best of the season so far http://www.westbrom.com/forum/index.php Well done Cider boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 21. Marcham Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Our second half support was amazing but can anyone really say we outsung them first half? We only put a handful of decent songs together in the first half and they were quite loud IMO. But second half we were immense and it shows just how good we are especially at 0-4 down.

BCAGFC Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Yep, I was there and we were reasonably quiet 1st half but the last half hour was amazing, don't think they could believe the 'Bounce Around The Ground'. As for the game, if we could have sneaked that chance in just before they scored it could have been a completely different game. Thought Maynard & Haynes were brilliant with the poor service they got but Louis was VERY poor today (at fault for the first goal if not more), 1st rule of defending.....SEND THEM WIDE....DON'T LET THEM CUT INSIDE. Even after the poor start we had more than enough chances to get something from the game, just wish we could see an attacking performance like WBA produced today at AG.

Guest DanC Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 First half I think we were all in shock, One second it looks like were going to take the lead early on but miss a open goal and the next were 1 nil down and then 9 mins later we are 2 down. I think most realised by that time it wasn't going to be a good day but there was still a little bit of hope there. Once it got to 4 it was just a case of laugh or cry and letting the players know we are still there behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 As I said 1st rule of defending.....don't let your player cut inside...exactly what Louis allowed Thomas to do, although Thomas would have skinned him if he would let him go outside....catch 22 I suppose but not good enough at this level. The shot didn't go through Louis's legs from where I was sitting and I couldn't have got much closer to the situation. Louis did make one great a saving interception in the 2nd half when they were clean through but I really think we now need to look to the future as far as the CBK position goes. BCAGFC.

Well said matt, I think if anyone finishes above west brom at the end of the season they'll be picking up the champions medals. I think we played some tidy football in the first and last 10 minutes of the game. We need to find our ruthless streak I say it's time Clarkson got a run out up top and move Hanyes out wide, we were crying out for some width today. I'm not bradley's biggest fan but I thought we missed him, Fonts has to return but despite the score I think we worked hard, had enough of the ball and a few chances (we just need to take them) PS that's fine marshy, just thought you were asking a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right, as soon as they started chanting that it breathed new life into the city fans, didn't stop singing from then on, can't believe we even churned out a bounce around the ground.

SJC Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Was there and the support, primarily from about 70 mins onward - after the Albion fans brought out the 'Why the **** are you still here?', was fantastic. Well done to all those that put in the effort, it is exactly days like today, when your team is down and {in this instance} very much out, that singing/support is most appreciated.

'Orns Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Couldn't be there, or listen to the game today - but I've been on the piss tonight with a Baggies fan who tells me there were City fans leaving when the 4th goal went in! Please tell me he's lying....! Also been out with a G*shead, who's had massive fun at my expense, because they beat Gillingham......jes, he's easy to shout down down, his only come back is that JPT Cup (or whatever it was called at the time!) game 4 seasons ago.......

I can accept defeat, I've followed City for 35 years. I cannot accept capitulation and Sunday League defending.

Nothing to do with respect, I spent around the same amount of money and even tho it was a pretty shite day out I wasn't going to waste all that money by going home early. It really does annoy me that spend huge amounts of money following our teamand these players that earn in a month(some even two weeks) earn what I do in a year and on the back of a two week break where some of them probably enjoyed anice short break away come back and dish out shit like that. Yesterday was a bad day and it hurt but when we win games it makes them victories even sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GUERNSEY TAFFY RED Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I was proud to be a city fan yesterday, the singing for the last half hour was brilliant, some of the best i have ever heard. The chanting was brilliant especially at Green letting his country down - genius! I could see an awful lot of WBA fans applauding us and i bet they were surprised as hell that a team 4-0 down could make so much noise. Many of the fans around me left the game with smiles on their faces instead of being miserable. It just makes me wonder how much noise we will make when we move into the new East End. As i left the ground i thought how boring it must be being a chelsea or manure fan winning every week - i'm just glad that i am a city fan and sat with such a fantastic bunch of supporters yesterday.

And You Have To Accept Defeat As Well As Winning Mind!!! Defeat I can accept! I knew as soon as I seen McCombe trot out on the pitch though at the start it wasnt going to be our day. As for the "showing no respect", the fact that so many stayed as long as they did showed plenty of respect. Respect is earned in my opinion, and yesterday, they didnt really earn any in my eyes. Yeah West Brom were a good team, but it was the basics we got wrong. Allowing players to run and cut inside, not closing your man down...its basic stuff. Some of our passing was awful to. It summed it up when the WBA fans started singing the "circus" theme tune! Yesterday was abysmal, fair play to people on here who are trying to take positives from that game, I failed to see any...apart from maybe Evander Sno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially enjoyed, after Hartley scored, 'We're gonna win 5-4, we're gonna win 5-4 . . . . . . . . ' Also our goal came at a time when we were cheering every successful City pass or challenge whilst booing every West Brom touch, a gesture normally reserved for when we are 4-0 up not down. The players often remark that hearing the support of the fans gives them a boost and I wonder if we'd have got that consolation goal had we not responded to the insult from the Albion fans. I particularly enjoyed it when we turned previous Albion taunts back against them such as "we forgot that you were here". We may have lost 4-1 but we didn't play that badly (just one less shot than the Albion...albeit it less clear-cut chances) and the last 20 mins of chanting meant we finished on a high. I only get to 3 or 4 away games a season these days and it certainly beat the likes of drawing 0-0 at Barnsley last season for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
