Last updated : 21 February 2016 By Wba-mad Editor

In a new feature, Iain Bate, WBA-MAD Editor, gives a snapshot on Albion's defeat at Reading? Want your say next? Get in touch...

Team

Tony Pulis made three changes with Chris Brunt back at left back. Sandro and Sessegnon were back in the midfield. 

Tactis

Albion continued with Berahino supporting Rondon in attack. Brunt returned at left back with Chester swapped over to the right. 

Performance

It was another below par show from the Baggies as Pulis' tactics again hindered Albion. Long balls forward. No attacking flair. No creativty. No FA Cup for Albion. 

Man of the Match

Captain Darren Fletcher did his best to drive Albion forward. The midfielder ran his heart out in the middle but tired as the game went on. Provided Albion's only real quality moment when he turned in the box and fired home. 

Talking Point

Forget Albion's exit. The real talking point came after the final whistle. Some idiot chucked a coin at former club captain Chris Brunt. He was furious, and so were Albion fans who turned on each other. 

What next? 

Albion host Pulis' former team Crystal Palace. Another defeat and poor performance and Pulis can expect the heat to be turned up again by the home crowds.
