Was it TCB or WW who wanted him out and called him clueless after the Norwich(?) game?
Probably both, but I couldn't be sure as they are both on my ignore list.

Thirty-eight years of supporting the Albion has taught me to be cautiously pessimistic, even when I have every reason to be optimistic.

One is on my ignore list, the other one...well he'll probably be on it when we next lose and he calls for the axe to come out again.

Yes and what pisses me off is these kind of reactions can cause band-wagon jumping and before you know it certain sections of the crowd start to turn on the team too. All very negative and not at all helpful for the club.
Anyone who can't see that Gus is slowly turning things around in his own style are thick. He needs at least 12 months and his own signings in the summer transfer window before things really start to hot up!
One step at a time, old boy.
Lets just keep someone for a year, first.

I didn't say I wanted Poyet out. Neither did TCB as far as I'm aware.
Still, anything to have a pop, eh?

You're reading far too much into two successive excellent away results.
Until the excrement that is the home form shows some signs of improvement then the jury's still out. For that reason, and that reason alone, Exeter Is A Massive Game. If these players once again fail to perform at Withdean then nothing's changed since the Autumn.
Disagree, for me personally Norwich looked like the best side i'd seen at Withdean all season (I'm a season ticket holder). We bossed them for 90 minutes and had them beat, admittedly we f***ed it up and its same old brighton, however from watching that game I have no doubt the home form will change very soon. We're playing the best football i have seen at Withdean for a long time, and u can say u can never be to good to go down but personally I think the team we have now is 3 times as good as the team that kept us up last year. Even if we lose to Exeter we'll still avoid the drop and im willing to put my neck on the line about it cus we've come on leaps and bounds since last season... better individual players, Calderon a much better defender then Whingy, Bennett is twice the winger Harty is (no disrespect to him at all), Lua Lua a better player then Cox... Murray and Forster are both better options then Lloyd Owusu. But we're also much better at playing as a unit. I was positive under Slade and thought we were heading in the right direction, looking at how much better we look under poyet compared to slade now, i can't believe how wrong i was.

I agree with you - when we're playing as plucky underdogs to 'big' teams. The players seem fired up for those games. However... games like Exeter should be a bread n butter home win for any kind of side with serious ambitions to get out of League One (upwards). But I'm betting we'll find it hard work just like we always do at Withdean.
We have 8 home games left to rescue what is potentially the worst home season in history.
Even if we achieve 4 wins and 4 draws, we will end up as....
p23 w6 d7 l10......which will still be a poor record.
This shows the magnitude of the players ineptitude at home and how well they have been doing away, to be 18th in the table.
For all his efforts away from home, Gus knows that 2 points out of 21 at home during his reign is embarrassing and a millstone round all of our necks.
We appear to have some winnable games left at home but we need a significant and convincing result to kickstart us forward.
Lets hope we put Exeter to the sword

That is how I feel after the same number of years!
Always try to find the good, but never quite believing that a 1-0 lead is ever going to be enough!!

I disagree. Anyone that has seen all the home games this year (like me) must agree that we have improved? Ok, the results have been very poor, but progress has most certainly been made, and in more recent times, we were very unlucky to lose to Millwall and Norwich.
As Gus says, it has gone on too long though, the Withdean Jinx needs to be put to bed once and for all.

Out Here In The Perimeter
what a difference a week makes - not looked at NSC since before the Leeds game as I couldn't face the inevitable Virgo bashing that doubtless ensued, and surprise surprise, people are at last starting to realise how lucky we are to have Poyet.
The comments from Charlton's manager hit the nail on the head for me, falsely positioned we are indded.
I just had a detailed look at the table and only Leeds and Norwich have better away records than us now - Falmer can't come soon enough for this squad. It must be a mental thing though now with this lot as Withdean was hardly a problem for the all conquering back to back Champions in the early 90's.
Admittedly I've never been there (but may do in August) but a good friend of mine who comes down for Millwall every year reckons it's the worst ground he's ever been to - from where they were with the away fans apprently they only realised they'd scored when the players starting celebrating the other week.
