'Didn't deserve to win': West Brom fans react to late Swansea heartbreak

Express & Star

Jonny Drury caught up with Albion fans after their side conceded a stoppage time equaliser at Swansea. Albion had a number of openings in the first period but couldn't find the opener. It eventually came in the second half through Tom Fellows - before Albion had to soak up late pressure. But they couldn't hold out as Joe Allen headed home a 92nd minute equaliser.

00:00Joe, heartbreak at the death, just sum that one up, how difficult is that to take?

00:13I'm happy with the point, I'm happy with the point, I don't think we were good enough for nine minutes

00:20I think we were looking to go one and a half, fair result

00:25We played quite well, just sat back, let the cross come in, gets cleared, another cross comes in, Joe Allen

00:33In the first half it felt like it was relentless, we were getting chances after chances on the break

00:38Did you feel that if we didn't take one or two of them it might come back to bite us?

00:42Yeah, I mean it's a complicated one, me personally I feel like there's a couple of members of the squad

00:48that aren't quite up to scratch, Jed, lovely bloke, great work ethic, just not good enough, I feel like starting him was the wrong decision today

01:01Yeah, I mean I thought Grant didn't have the greatest games, should have shot faster

01:08Yeah I thought he was quite good on the break, I think he's better, it's like the handbrake's off compared to Bill Grumble

01:15In that first half, like we said, Albion were so dominant, just couldn't find that little bit of quality

01:21Overall was there anyone who stood out for you?

01:24I think that's the problem, no-one's really standing out at the moment

01:28I mean DK had another good game after his mistake after Sheffield, he's been brilliant

01:33I think Mullendy, brilliant again, but we can't just rely on Amidfield every single game

01:40and that's what it feels like at the moment, the attack aren't doing enough, the defence aren't really doing enough, it's sloppy

01:46But we'll get there, we'll get there

01:49He's just made it fun, he's just made it fun

01:51He's loads of jokes, he won't be here next season I'll tell you that, he'll be going to the Premier League

01:56Who else? Poor full-backs did quite well at Stowell's for a long time

02:01Just finally, obviously the January window's open at the moment, but the managerial search kind of goes on

02:06Do you have one where you've got the FA Cup next week, you kind of hope it's sorted by then or what's your feeling on the whole situation?

02:12I think after today my understanding is tactics haven't changed since Carlos

02:19He's kind of, you can see, scored a goal, sorry, and then shipped it on the ball

02:25And you know, it's worked a lot of the time, but it doesn't seem to be working any more

02:31I don't think any more teams seem to have figured this out, and we need to change

02:37See, I'll take Steve Cooper, I honestly don't know, I don't know who he is

02:45But you're happy with what's happened over the festive period?

02:49Yeah, definitely, it's been a decent festive period right now
