In my opinion was a fair result. We played well in patches but flattered to deceive. Albion likewise. Thought Ivan was a tad disappointing but that was down to the Albion defence. Same applies to Mitro.
Word of praise to the ref, who I thought had a very good game.
Ref controlled the game well indeed. It is a little easier when both teams actually try and play football.
Should have booked their keeper in the first half for time wasting I thought. Betts would have got a yellow l.

I think it was a fair result if you are a Brom fan. FFC has to be disappointed in this result. I know I am.
We dominated for long periods and squandered chances in the first half. Should have won it.

I agree. Two points given away. Their keeper made a world-class save, possibly two. We missed a couple of other good opportunities. I need to see it again, but their goal looked like a gift. I could not see the foul on Betts from the Hammy end.
Apart from the goal, they created very little, (trying to recall Betts having to do much ...one through ball he took well?) ..oh a header across the goal towards the end. So yes, you an argue it's a fair result as they scored one and so did we. But if I was a Brom fan, the performance would not encourage me to think they will be top 2 .. apart from the fact they did not play well, and still came away with a point.
Why did we play the second half as if one goal was enough? Thought we were hanging on at the end. Very disappointing.
Ref did us a favour. When WBA scored Knocky ran up to him to protest for a foul on the keeper, misjudged it and stomped on the Ref's foot, causing him to hobble around in pain. Another ref could have sent Knocky off.

I think we do lack a natural leader out there to keep minds concentrated, think they think its to easy to win and forget we have a god awful defence thats going to give up at least one clear cut chance

Exactly, a poor habit we cannot seem to get away from, and it generally costs us.

We are bereft of a decent leader and it shows and it cost us.
Neither team played their best stuff. Based on that game alone neither will be near Automatic top 2. Good job the season isn't defined over 1 game.
But already slowly starting to play the catch up game.

We allow very few clear cut chances because we have the ball a ton. Our "god awful defence" has allowed maybe two good scoring chances in the last two matches. All we need is our goalkeeper not to flap at crosses or have harmless shots bounce in off his hand and we'll be fine.

When did Betts last "flap at a cross"? Just asking.

This is spot on. There's no way we should be losing that game, they had no clear cut chances until Betts flapped. He's cost us the win. Should have tipped it over the bar.
I'm not known to criticize Betts normally,but he was week in that moment allowing there player to intimidate him and the team payed the price.Scotty needs to sort that mentality in him out!

how hard is it for a referee to warn a goal keeper early on that if he keeps wasting time he will be booked. Not hard is it.
