‘Awful’, ‘Cheat’ – West Brom fans rage at what happened v Watford
West Brom suffered their first defeat in 13 games against Watford on Sunday, with supporters left raging at Vicarage Road.
The Baggies left empty-handed following a 2-1 defeat against The Hornets with Vakoun Bayo proving to be the difference on 15 December.
Jayson Molumby scored what would prove to be a consolation goal for West Brom just moments before his antics caused embarrassment for The Baggies.
West Brom struggled to get going in the first half but saw an improvement in the second, with the officiating called into major question yet again.
West Brom fans fume at officials against Watford
Gavin Ward was the man with the whistle on Sunday and his inability to spot a foul for Watford’s winning goal proved costly in the end.
Josh Maja was shoved to the floor just milliseconds before Bayo broke free from the downed attacker to dispatch his second of the game but it didn’t go unnoticed by Baggies supporters.
West Brom certainly need to do more in the final third but a horrendous decision ultimately cost them a solid point against Watford.
How the officials have missed the clear shove on Maja is remarkable and to be quite honest, it happens far too commonly in English football across all levels.
However, even if the referee gives the foul, Carlos Corberan’s side take a point and their inability to win games consistently still leaves questions to be answered.
Things must improve urgently for The Baggies if they are to have any success in this Championship campaign.
