Masterclass in the first half. Totally controlled the game with two quality goals and a couple of 'lucky' ones. Lucky in the way the went in but also occurring because of our dominance and pressure.

Could so easily have happened last week or against Arsenal or Burnley or other games. Football is a matter of inches and moments.

The best thing about WBA last year was Bilic, getting rid was a mistake. Hope we get another four.

Bloody brilliant.

We looked like scoring every time and they never did.

We played well but Brom just making it way too easy by sitting back. Talk of Strujik being too slow on the ball last game? Today, he had time to check his text messages before picking a pass. So much easier for Klich today too with all that space in front of him.

Quality 1st half.

Totally in control.

Great goals from Ali and JH, lucky with 2 goals but we deserve to he well ahead anyway.

Midfield looks a bit more secure and organised to.

Very pleased, karma for WBA sacking Slav, B8elsa's mate.

If WB were a wild animal you would shoot it to put it out of its misery and torment.

That was a masterclass of attacking football with some cracking goals, including the first one. :) Its like a training session against the U23's although they would be better than WB today. Its a really good day at the office so far for the lads. Can we play them every week, i say, can we play them every week. Ok Ok its only half time.

You give us that space and time and we will destroy you. WB don't look to have the quality anywhere on the pitch in that first half. 2 years is a long time in football isn't it. When WB destroyed us 4-1.

Come on Marcelo lets give the squad a run out once we have settled into the second half. Deckchair and handkerchief at the ready to chill and watch the second half.

It would be interesting. I'd say only if someone has a niggle. I don't think anyone expended much energy in that first half.

Sam’s hairdryer will be in meltdown - expect a more hung-ho, nothing to lose approach at the start of the second half .
