Worst night in RS career according to Arsegas
- Thread starter forumwayseagull
- Start date
Well I'm looking forwards to Saturday. There's a number of players who might be playing their last games for us unless there's a massive improvement.
It was always going to be a hard start to the season and so its proved.

Albion boss Russell Slade has branded the 7-1 mauling at Huddersfield as the worst night of his career.
The Seagulls were ripped to shreds after goalkeeper Michel Kuipers saw red late in the first half.
A distressed Slade, emerging from a dressing room lock-in, said: “It’s an absolutely horrendous night for me as a manager, for the team, for the club. I certainly did not see it coming.
“I can only apologise. It is by far the worst night I have ever had in football for sure.”
Kuipers was sent off for bringing down Lee Novak and the Huddersfield striker converted the resulting penalty to put his team 3-1 up.
Slade said: “Losing your goalkeeper and going 3-1 down meant a tough night was going to get tougher and in the second half they showed what a class side they are.
“But to defend the way we did at times was unacceptable and to lose the way we did means there has got to be a soft underbelly somewhere.
“You cannot capitulate like we did, even though we were up against a very good team.”
Kuipers apologised at half-time to referee Neil Swarbrick for his furious reaction to his dismissal, which could result in further disciplinary action.
To make matters worse for the Seagulls, a twisted ankle sidelined Jim McNulty from a possible comeback and unsettled striker Glenn Murray faces further hernia surgery next week.
It was Albion's worst defeat since the 8-2 reverse to Bristol Rovers under Brian Clough in December 1973.

At least RS is saying the right things, hope he can put his words into actions for Satdi.

Would prefer a reaction similar to Cloughies after that 8-2 defeat better.
He buggered off...he'd been rubbish for us and was no loss. He hadn't even saved us from certain relegation.......................

Agreed, and if not that then the club allowing the 400-odd a freebie game as suggested on another thread.

I was going on about the way he publicly laid into and slated the players the day after on the tele.
I would forgo my freebie if those whose lack of commitment and ability did not don the stripes again such as El-Abd
Slade, learn from your errors!!!!!

I think he will, after all last season it took him a few games to realise that Jarrett was pony for example and that OGH deserved a run in the side etc etc

Did pre-season just pass him by then? He should have a pretty good idea of what's what by now surely?

Must admit, I thought he would have learnt SOMETHING from the pre-season games. Nothing has changed since those rather poor games....(Scunthorpe aside).
Still persisting with 4-5-1........no Dicker, and STILL playing Croft and Navarro...
