WBA - The Day After

It's the day after the game before and yesterdays result and performance has been slept on, but there are still points that need venting!!

1 - Gabriel Tamas is not useless..........



That header alone shows that he is capable of great things.... Tamas though seems to be a Di Matteo favourite, having played pretty much every game where he has been available. Ibanez and Olsson have more regularly been RDM's fall guys but have arguably been better performers, especially on the rare occasions where they have played together (Win at Arsenal, point at Man U).

It cannot be easy on one's confidence being part of the worst defence in the Premier League. And Tamas's lack of confidence is affecting his decision making. Hence him being in two minds when faced with a ball into the box yesterday as to whether to clear his box or go behind for a corner. The result of this lack of decision making, WBA are 1-0 down and up against it. Tamas' indecision can also be held responsible for Blackburn's 2nd goal.

RDM cannot let Tamas' lack of confidence keep costing his side goals and points. With Olsson back fit it must be time for Ibanez to have an extended run in the team, otherwise, what was the point of signing him in the first place??

2 - James Morrison Is Not The Attacking Answer



I like James Morrison. I was really pleased for him when he came back from injury and got the goal against Leicester that all but sealed promotion. But he just seems to be a bit lost in the attacking midfield position this season. His problem is that he will be compared to Graham Dorrans whose place he often occupies and Morrison does not have the same dynamism, range of passing or goal threat as his fellow Scot. Morrison's recent goals against Man U and Blackpool have detracted from his poor performances but I think he is another who needs time away from the first team. He also seems to be another RDM favourite though who gets picked despite of results.

3 - Somen Tchoyi Needs To Play More




The man is a beast. He intimidates people with his size, power and pace but he can also play!!! Every time he plays or comes on he has a positive impact on the game. If that's the case then he needs to play from the start.
