Don Goodman: ‘I would never, ever do’ what West Brom fans did at The Hawthorns
Don Goodman understands the frustration from West Brom supporters after many hit out at some of their own for flooding the exits prior to the full-time whistle in the 5-1 thrashing of Portsmouth.
Tony Mowbray’s home tenure at West Brom got off to an excellent start with a resounding win over Portsmouth, but what happened at the end of that caused plenty of frustration and many accusations.
Many fans were seen heading for an early exit, leading other supporters to criticise their support and Goodman said that he understands that frustration when speaking to West Brom News.
“Look, I don’t like it, but what can you do? People are people. I understand the fans who stay, being frustrated with fans that leave,” said Goodman.
“Where it’s worse is if your team are down and losing and fans stream out the ground, then that would be a different experience. But winning 5-1 and seeing fans leaving the ground, wouldn’t affect you in the slightest.
“Look, people are different. I don’t want to slam people that want to get up and leave. I would just say it would be something that I would never, ever do.”
West Brom support shouldn’t be questioned
While people will have their own opinion on those who stay to the end or don’t, everyone at The Hawthorns wants the same thing for their club and the support is still magnificent.
Each and every week fans turn up in their thousands to watch a team that in all honesty, haven’t delivered an awful lot back to supporters over the years although that could all change this season.
The Baggies remain on course to have a real shot at promotion and consistency will prove to be the key behind that success.
As it stands, West Brom occupy the final play-off spot, albeit on level points with Middlesbrough in seventh ahead of the home clash with Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.
