Here are some of your comments:
West Brom fans
Paul - Super team effort, every player played well.
Russell - Great performance, especially to come from a goal down. It's a great start. We know there's a long, long way to go but we have something to build on.
Colin - Super energetic and disciplined display by the Baggies. Great to watch Isaac Price get on the scoresheet. Well played West Brom.
Nick - Best all-round performance I've seen in a long time. Didn't look panicked after going behind and the attack was beautiful to watch. Ousmane Diakite deserves special mention. His passing, dribbling, tackling and effort were all on display and his ball recovery reminded me of a decent player who drove his Mini to Leicester City. Very early and such a small sample size, but after a trying season last year there's so much to smile about right now.

Tom - Abysmal. Burnley should know by now that with only one goalscorer you are certainly dead in the PL and probably in the Championship too. Combine that with routinely gifting the opposition at least one early goal and you are likely to be facing relegation by the end of the season. The new manager looks an improvement but so would I have been.
Sam - Sad to see players pulling out of challenges and not working hard. Burnley's identity was once about running sides off the park and playing gritty, effective football. We've now accumulated PL and European academy prospects that don't have the fight or the nous to represent our club.
Hugh - Very worried by the reversion to familiar faces here - Josh Laurent, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Armando Broja. Kyle Walker maybe most of all - his pace is gone and that was his cheat code. His positioning, passing, and aerial ability just aren't up to it. Broja isn't interested and isn't any good anyway. I'd play literally anyone else up top.
Gareth - We gave the ball away cheaply, poor first touches, sloppy passes and we failed to win challenges. We made it easy for West Brom to come from behind and beat us convincingly. But at least we are now moving the ball forwards, rather than side to side and backwards (ie Parker-ball). But we still need to clear out the dross - Broja, Zeki Amdouni et al
