Baggies fans have been reacting to Bartley’s performance on Twitter, and many have been laying into the 27-year-old centre-back for his display.

COMMENTARY
These West Brom fans seem pretty unimpressed with Bartley’s performance on Saturday, and you can see why. The Baggies looked to be cruising to a solid win over a Blackburn side who have impressed in recent weeks, but Bartley’s failure to clear his lines saw them concede an unnecessary equaliser. As it was that equaliser proved costly as Rovers held on for a point, with the Baggies dropping two in the process. A win would have put them back towards the top of the table after Middlesbrough’s draw with Derby earlier today, but instead they remain in fifth and without a win in three games. It has been a peculiar season so far for the Baggies under Darren Moore, with them looking unplayable at times but then so easily beatable at others. They desperately need to find some consistency if they are to keep up their push for promotion, and errors like Bartley’s on Saturday will not help with that.

We’ve spent 5-6 million on Bartley, who is worse than Hegazi when Caulker is knocking about on a free. Whilst Caulker isn’t a world beater he cannot be any worse than Kyle #wba
