Felt like a bit of a game of 2 halves.
First half we looked impotent in terms of creating chances, Eddie was non existent, not sure we had a shot on goal and were always trying to claw back after early goal which shows a fragility in defence, Kiko flapping and the otherwise excellent Ben White ineffectual.
From seeing that first half I didn't think we would score tonight.
Good to see earlier subs from Bielsa and Bamford clearly more influential than Eddie despite still poor service, I'd like Eddie to stay, but he needs to have more impact than that.
Harrison grew into the game, as did Costa, Ayling and Klich full of energy, Alioski did indeed seem to be a weak link, but I really didn't see that much from Douglas. We hear all the time he's a dead ball specialist etc but I don't see it at all and defensively I feel he's very shaky.
Overall, happy with a point, but despite WBA's size, physicality and experience I really wasn't that impressed with them and don't see anyone else now threatening us directly, the only team who can hurt us from here is Leeds.
Bielsa correcting Diego Flores in post match shows he knows what's being said and confirms that Eddie is going back and spoke really nicely about him.
As Kinnear said, no dicking around now please Leeds, go get us a goalscorer.
Thoughts from tonight

Reading this thread (agree with Jonty btw) I can't see the term 'FFP' anywhere, unless I missed something. Bearing in mind we are committed to £15m for Costa in the summer and signing Harrison permanently will be north of £10m plus our high wage bill, would further acquisitions not leave us exposed to FFP rules? If we go up, there wouldn't be a problem but given our thin squad it only takes a few injuries and suspensions and a 9 point lead could quickly evaporate. It's a gamble but an expensive shopping list has to be carefully considered. A real stick or twist situation facing us.
