[Albion] We are not good enough…..

Oh f*** off.

Opening post is attention seeking, we aren't getting relegated. but i agree with the general point. Spent 200 million and we don't create a lot, our wingers aren't getting chances at all. Very disappointing

I'm not sure what you're saying, we beat Everton.

So 10 out of the 11 were the same players and we beat them. Are you saying we should not use the new players?

Blimey - put your big boy pants back on!

We're 5 games (Yes 5) into the new season and with a new young manager and many new players it will take time for them to settle and for FH to work out his best 11.

Baleba looked poor last year, but 1 year on people now rave about him. Minteh is just 20, new to the Prem and has real potential but it may take him a year or more to look more established - a bit like Adingra now. Yes, the defense is our achilles heal, and longer term we need to start thinking about a future replacement for Dunky and have a set established right back in place - which we haven't yet got.

5 unbeaten, 2 cup wins, with O'Reilly and Gomez to come soon, I am definitely half glass full.

I was never expecting all the new players to hit the ground running and suspect it will take a few months for many to settle.

Give them time. They're doing ok.

Agree with this, I think when RDZ started he said it would take till end of October to get going which I believe was right. So another month with a manager who is about 11 matches unbeaten including friendlies. Looks good so far.

Sorry. Still styled on our manager from last season and haven't been able to get an appointment for the new season glow up

It’s a penalty- end off.

If you play like that you need to score 3 or 4 goals to win games.

But we are not good enough to take the chances.

2 points from Ipswich and forest when you presume the aim is top 6 is not good enough.

Yipee we still unbeaten.
33 more draws sees us relegated.

Chelsea will tear us apart next week.
But let’s not look within, it’s the refs fault.

Bllx …five games in…sure the last two home games were a bit frustrating …but seriously! Oh and let’s not forget that forest had won their last four away games…one of which was last week at Liverpool (you got them marketed down for relegation) .i think most accept the team is a work in progress …new manager etc and one that isn’t as bad as you make out

The Fits · Sep 22, 2024

At the moment the tactics are a bit odd and a bit naive. I'm not blaming any players yet as the whole thing seems a bit confused.
We surely can't complain being unbeaten and we will improve.

Very suspicious post; I wonder if "briref" lives in Croydon?

Anagram of fibber. Nearly. Near enough. Spelt Fiberr in Croydon maybe.

Lucid and thoughtful. Makes you sound... normal

At the moment, we are not good enough. Whether that changes as new staff bed in only time will tell.

What worries me is that our major problem is the same now as it was under De Zerbi and Potter. An utter inability to turn possession into enough goals. Same shit, different day.

Three goals on Wednesday, two today. Imho that’s fine.

Instead I find our vulnerability to any kind of counter attack alarming. I said at the time thank fck Ipswich have poor finiishers, others will make us pay.

It wasn’t a problem for RDZ with a fully fit squad we were one of the highest scorers in Europe.

Beanstalk · Sep 22, 2024

f*** sake, we may go into October unbeaten if we play well at Chelsea. I don’t want to be all “we’re little old Brighton” but have some perspective man.

If we win those games comfortably, all the games were supposed to win comfortably, we'll challenge for the title. But we're not that good. Any team finishing 5th-10th will drop a lot of unexpected points, will have results like todays and last weeks.

Coz if we didn't we'd win the league. And that's ridiculous.

Time for Ferdi to start at left back. Pervis not playing well

I bet Liverpool fans wish they’d been good enough to get a point at home to Forest!
