Thanking the heavens they played us when they did
They made their own luck with a good performance. Let's give them some credit. With this team, I don't think the dropped 3 points will matter come the end of the season, thankfully.

Not sure I agree with that, still haven't seen the match but have watched our win tonight, if Blackpool were lucky we must have been total shite! Credit where it is due we lost and move on and tonight we did, though I thought B'ham were not that great!

We were massively below par and Blackpool played above themselves. It happens occasionally
We need another 74 points. All we have to do is keep pushing, keep working hard and keep winning

Blackpool played above their usual level, we played well below. Over the first 7 games, the points earned, Goals Scored, Goals Conceded, etc. don't lie. Hell, they were just pummeled 3-0 yesterday. They were fortunate for internationals, we had tired and injured players, and some unfortunate management decisions regarding those players.
Nothing to say Blackpool were poor, they played well... but also they were lucky.
Rotten Northern ref, industrial football, Fulham off-colour, freak result and still only 1 goal. We'll see you at Craven Cottage methinks.....
Silva made a mistake with team selection - lots of tired legs and a few freak poor performances elsewhere. It just wasn't our day.
Luckily he corrected that today and got it right by bringing in guys like Reed, Bryan and Chalobah. That's good management.

Yep. I would have started Bryan and Mawson over the USA internationals at the weekend and Reed instead of the Watford newbie. I am pleased Silva didn't overreact against Brum as if he made wholesale changes after a narrow loss he risks alienating players. The three changes entirely understandable and good management.
I think what we are seeing is a little disjointed play with the team learning to play with new teammates. We added strength in the window but they need to be patient and should not have expected to walk into a winning team.
We dropped 3 against Blackpool away and WBA dropped 2 points at home to Derby who are due to be deducted points. So overall not a bad outcome considering we won last night.
After watching 3 of w broms games, they look dreadful. I'd imagine Birmingham would have beaten them easily last night. More of a challenge to come from Bournemouth I'd imagine.
Bournemouth won't finish in the top six

Fair enough. Can you post next Saturday's lottery numbers while you are able to see the future?
Time will tell

Yep. Just need to take it one game at a time. Focus on getting three points against Reading, and nothing else.
Feels like when we played Liverpool last season when we were also 'lucky'. Blackpool took advantage last game and did well to get the win. We had the squad to win 15m Mawson for Ream, 6m Bryan for Robinson. Hope we have learned for the next set of internationals in 4 weeks time.
