Rotherham Follow commentator blasts ‘toothless’ West Brom in salty response to Jed Wallace goal

Rotherham’s iFollow commentator called West Brom “toothless” after they scored their second goal of the game in their 2-0 win at the New Yorks Stadium on Tuesday night.Jed Wallace came off the bench to curl in a beautiful 90th-minute free-kick from the edge of the penalty after Grady Diangana had earlier given the Albion the lead.

It wasn’t the greatest of spectacles in South Yorkshire and while the Baggies weren’t at their best, the Rotherham commentary came across as being a bit petulant.

“Mowatt’s going to leave it for Wallace… What a free-kick that is,” said the commentator as Wallace’s free-kick hit the back of the net in the 90th minute. “Off the bar, 2-0, game over.

“It’s been a dreadful evening of football, never mind if you’re a purist. As a spectacle, it’s been a shocker.

“And the long winter nights will seem even longer if you’re a Miller. Two goals down and the Millers are bottom of the league and a toothless West Bromwich Albion side are two goals to the good.”

Toothless?

While we admit it wasn’t the best games to watch – especially in the first half – to call a team “toothless” after they’ve just scored their second goal against you seems a bit salty.

West Brom were the better team at the end of the day.

Diangana scored a good goal and then Wallace scored an incredible free-kick.

If anything, Carlos Corberan’s men were clinical.

West Brom need to do a lot better though if they want to be serious promotion contenders.

Last week, at Sunderland, we were awful and it was arguably our worst performance of the season while against Leicester, a late defensive lapse ruined what would have been a superb point.

We’re lagging a bit at the moment and it’s not a good time to do that going into the chock-a-block festive period.
