Ally Robertson: How on earth can that have ever been a penalty against West Brom?

It was a disappointing way to sign off for the international break!

We’d hardly given a goal away, with four clean sheets in five, and then with Blues coming up I thought ‘if we can draw at Blues we’re alright’ because we’ve got two home games after the break.

Supporters needed to see we could stop giving stupid goals away and begin to get on a run to put ourselves in a better position.

If we’d have nicked a point and won two home games we’d have been right up well in the top six.

A couple of good results changes things. We beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at home and we didn’t play well. They didn’t bother getting forward but we were fortunate to score early, I know the last few minutes we were all ready for the referee to blow the whistle!
