A section of West Brom fans have reacted on Twitter after goalkeeper Boaz Myhill on Twitter after a nightmare first outing for the club since re-signing on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, the Baggies announced a new one-year deal for the 35-year-old shot-stopper, a month after he was initially released by the Black Country club.
On Tuesday night, the Welshman returned to action in an Under-23s game against Staffordshire club Chasetown, but it only took him eight minutes to concede an absolute clanger of a goal as he completely missed the ball before it found its way into the back of the net.
Myhill the West Brom keeper has a nightmare in the opening 8mins of the games with a straight forward kick out being miss kicked and the ball trickles into the goal.

OPINION
Eight minutes is all it took for Myhill to offer West Brom fans more of a reason to question his return to The Hawthorns. A lot of supporters were not happy with the fact that the Welshman was re-signed by the Baggies after his role in the taxi debacle in Barcelona earlier this year and his form on the pitch has not been much of a redeeming factor for him either. And against a non-league side like Chasetown, Myhill should really be showing his class and put in a solid performance in a side full of youngster. He failed to do that on Tuesday and it sets the tone of how fans expect his season to go if he is go get much game-time.
