Supporters review of the season: West Brom
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.High expectations turned to disappointment after the manager chose to switch from a high tempo, attacking style to a more measured, possession-first game with only one man up front.
The loss of and failure to replace Zoltan Gera and Kevin Phillips, (Borja Valero was never the answer), was a massive mistake by the club. The lack of experience in the squad was exposed time and again by more savvy opposition players, who capitalised on mistakes by our young backline. The inability of the attack, missing the injured Ismael Miller for most of the season, to convert its chances was punished game after game. The right balance for the team, despite £22m being spent, was found sadly too late for survival.
Which team were your best opponents?
Favourite opponents were Middlesbrough, having done the double over them. Best opposition faced was Manchester United, who thrashed us twice.
Who would you like your team to sign this summer?
To sign loanee Marc Antoine Fortune this summer would be great. His energy and hold-up is magnificent.
What was the weirdest/funniest moment of the season?
Dean Kiely flagging to substitute the injured linesman in our defeat of Wigan was the funniest moment.
Mark out of 10 for the season?
