West Brom fans were far from impressed with Grady Diangana's performance during a goalless draw with Cardiff City on Saturday (26 October).

Carlos Corberan's side failed to hit the back of the net for the fourth time in five games, seeing the Baggies remain in fifth place in the Championship table after 12 games.

The Baggies are now winless in their last six league encounters, scoring just three goals in that time, and a set of fans clearly pin-pointed Diangana as one of the reasons for that at The Hawthorns.

While Diangana was not the only underperformer during the goalless draw at The Hawthorns, with John Swift and Mikey Johnston also targeted, one fan was hoping for the 26-year-old to make way at half-time.

Another fan suggested that Diangana has "blood on his hands yet again", with one pin-pointing the No.10 role as a problem for the Baggies following a "frustrating" display from him.

Corberan will certainly be worried by the drop of form in recent weeks, especially after such an impressive start to the campaign and sitting atop the Championship table, but there is plenty of time to turn things around.

Upcoming matches against Luton Town, Burnley, Hull City, Norwich City and Sunderland will prove rather important for the Baggies in the context of their season.

If Corberan is to lead the club to promotion, either via the automatic spots or the play-off spots, he needs his stars to find another gear quickly, and Diangana is included in that.

The Dominican Republic of Congo international notched seven goals and eight assists in 36 appearances last season, becoming an integral part of the squad, but more and more fans are becoming frustrated with his displays.
