Icy Gull said:Not much choice give the facilities, budget, choice of players we can afford. Harsh but true imo.
Rougvie said:All that is true, but we battled and fought under Adams/Coppell and even Taylor, we seemed to have more battle about us, and the VAST majority of fans had the confidence in these guys even when times were bad, they also seemed to be able to attract a better calibre of player. I dont know maybe it was luck that has now just run out, but if a large section of the support and several players have no confidence in the manager, I think that is when we have to realise that this is our worst point since arriving at Withdean.
Over the last 2 months under McGhee I have found personally this to be the bleakest (not the worst by any means) most futile period in the 19 or so years I have been following the club.
Icy Gull said:I'm not happy but I really don't think we can do any better at the mo, we could do a lot worse, although many don't seem to see the dangers of that? I hope DK holds his nerve and sticks with MM. We will benefit long term, I have no doubts on that,
Icy Gull said:Hard to argue with that except all the others walked.......maybe because they knew they couldn't maintain the progress. Non of them were trying to sustain the level we are at now either. I know the Coppell had to deal with Hinsh's poor spell but he did have us in a position where we could have avoided relegation....if we'd beaten Sheff Weds and Stoke at home and Grimsby away. We didn't though and virtually nobody called for his head, rightly too imo.
zefarelly said:I have to admire your non stop defense of a manager who in my opinion has never had a side playing attractive positive football,
Icy Gull said:You didn't go early season then when we were playing the best football for 20 years? Lack of a decent striker meant we couldn't score more than we conceded
zefarelly said:how can it be the best football for 20 years if we keep loosing, or snatching a point from games ? ?
and no I didn't go earlier this season, or later this season either, or much last season for that matter, I'm sure we're not playing as badly as we have done at times in the last 20-30 years but theres absolutely no way we've played better under Magoo
Finchley Seagull said:Since then we have spent about £250k on transfers (at most) and sold over £2 million worth of players. Anyone who expected any different to a struggle, and quite possibly relegation, should be more realistic.
Finchley Seagull said:How can you judge the type of football played if you did not go. Anybody who says that McGhee has lost the dressing room should admit that they were wrong after Tuesday. In the second half we dominated possession and played well despite having 10 men for half an hour (thanks to a crap referee). How about the battle we showed last year to survive. Since then we have spent about £250k on transfers (at most) and sold over £2 million worth of players. Anyone who expected any different to a struggle, and quite possibly relegation, should be more realistic.
I also believe that the fans generally support McGhee. There was no evidence of the moaners and whingers on Tuesday. The team were supported throughout the game and even after the defeat they were cheered off. NSC is by no means a fair reflection of Brighton supporters and I believe the majority back Mark McGhee and understand the problems he faces (unlike some on here).
n1 gull said:Away fans rarely moan at the team, as its normally roughly the same 1,000 core that go everywhere.
Its the more casual supporters that complain, but I think they are in the majority.
I know loads of people that are totally pissed off with MM, but admittedly they are not as commited as you and did not go to Norwich, but that doesn't mean that their opinion is not valid.
Tony Meolas Loan Spell said:Nobody called fopr Coppells head because he was on a hiding to nothing. The damage was done at the beginning of the season with the losing 12 game streak. Tables were printed of our form after Christmas and we would have been half way up the table.
Goes to show results at the beginning of the season do matter whatever the great one says.
A complete fabrication.Dies Irae said:Its cos people do not want to play for mcghee!!!!
