Your team isn't the only one lacking consistency at the moment.

Win, loss, win, loss... I guess at least that means Albion should win at Portman Road on Saturday.

I'm going to Hillsborough on Saturday,  not to state the obvious but its bloody must win! Lol 

I think you'll beat Ipswich 

[dje_wba]

Fingers crossed, hopefully two away wins for us tomorrow. With the state that Wednesday are in, Oxford certainly ought to win.

Have you been to Hillsborough before? I've been there three times, in 2000, 2001 and 2009, and have seen two wins and a draw, including a 4-0 win the last time I went there.

cardiff looked more like 12th than first

Beat them 2-1 but we almost let them back in with our stupid sitting back! 

Was first time to Hillsborough,  nice old ground

Welp.

Coincidentally, given they played each other yesterday, Albion's next two home matches are against Wednesday and Oxford.

Well I am looking forward to coming to The Hawthorns! First time there!

Very late equaliser for us against Millwall,  we play Stoke tomorrow night then the big CAWS derby on Saturday lol

Vale should’ve been 3-0 up, they were killing us for 30 mins. Final score line is wild (Bolton win 4-0). But it’s nice to be on the other side for once. Usually we sky every shot then lose.

We’re gonna miss Cosy Strawberry after he gets recalled..

[oufcAD37]

Shit again,  deserved win for West Brom 

[Muur]

Rip going first. 0-0 draw against second, keeping us behind them and first. Winning would've had us first (well, a 2-0 win or more would've, 1-0 would be second)

That felt like it was gonna be a take 9000 shots lose 1-0 match again. Evatt prob loses that.

Was surprised to see second place time wasting for a 0-0

Drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough, yet again we go ahead then sit back! 

[dje_wba]

It could've been worse, you could've been 2-0 up, then have one of your players lose his head and get sent off, and end up losing 3-2.

To be honest...it would be nice to score 2!

Hey, Oxford have scored more goals so far this season than Albion have. In fact, with the exception of Oxford, only the teams in the bottom six have scored fewer goals so far this season than Albion.

It genuinely doesn't feel like we have scored many!

Becoming the first away team to fail to win at Carrow Road this season isn't great, although I suppose it could've been worse for you if not for that 95th minute equaliser.

I've just no words, we are now in the bottom three due to Sheffield United winning last night against Portsmouth.  

We've got Ipswich at home Friday night,  I cant see us winning! 

[dje_wba]

Ye of little faith.

Hopefully Albion will do your team a favour by actually getting a win tomorrow, against Swansea.

[oufcAD37]

I am actually shocked that Rowett kept pushing for a win! Ipswich didn't offer much.  Good luck tomorrow 

[Muur]

Xavier Simmons costing us 2 points with his red card

Second Saturday in a row that I've been to a match where the away team has gone 2-0 up in the first half, only for the home team to come back and win 3-2. Thankfully, Albion were on the right end of it this time.

Thanks for beating them! We play them at their place next Saturday!

A big game for both teams, for sure - are you going? I'll be at Loftus Road that day.

No not going,  trying to save money! Trains and match tickets all add up. 

I've never done Loftus Road  

[dje_wba]

I've just been looked at the results of past matches between Albion and QPR to work out how many times I've been to Loftus Road - I'm not sure of the exact number, but it's at least eight.

And I know what you mean about everything adding up - I'm going to Southampton next Tuesday, match ticket, train and hotel is costing me around £150 in total, and only 20% of that is for my actual ticket for the match.
