22%. Be interesting to see how much that figure goes up if we lose our next two games, which is perfectly feasible. Not that polls makes a blind bit of difference to anything in the real world

I suppose that De Zerbi doing well was entirely on Potter's football until he coached it out of them and we dropped to 11th.

...but finished in a European spot for the first time ever in our history.
That's not going to happen any time soon though is it?

Yes but that was after he took over from Potter so it's clearly all down to Potters hard work and De Zerbi hadn't coached it out of them yet.
Second season under De Zerbi he really started coaching the Potter out of them and we slid down the table.
At least that's the argument you're making for Fab's start to the season.
B-right-on
Living the dream
Well 77% seem to have their heads screwed on and 23% have their heads up dark places.
Really? Getting rid of Fab a whole half of a season gone and we're in 10th

Wow. I understand frustration, that's fair enough. But progress reaction to Pedro for instance, disgusting. He absolutely worked his socks off for no reward. According to an imbecile on radio Sussex after the game, he showed poor body language throughout the game. And Minteh had hardly any opportunity but still placed an absolute peach of a pass onto Adingra's head which should have led to a goal only for Ayari to blaze over. How the hell do those people think the players feel, all of them are desperate to win but at the moment it's not happening for some reason,. Acting like that makes one part of the problem not the solution. Us fans have to play our part as well and get behind the team, not act like entitled big 6 fans.

No one supportive of the club would create such a divisive and inflammatory poll. Have a bit of common sense. Do you think the club, the players and trouble-making journalists never look at fan forums? Nothing good comes from this sort of bullshit sensationalism.

We are toothless.
It was a chance but it wasn’t close because he headed it straight at the keeper. So he muffed two really good chances and had a bunch of other shots that were probably 0.01 xG, because ever since he got nominated for a Puskas award he thinks he can do that every time he gets the ball.
His personal xGf must have been around 1.0 by the end but his actual goals scored were 0 and, in reality, he spent most of the night ruining our attacks at the last moment.

Yeah, I shared that stat in here earlier, like it or loathe it but to me XG is more indicative of how well you’ve created chances rather than total shots. Last night was full of crappy headers from tight angles and shots surrounded by half a dozen Brentford players slinging their bodies at the ball. We created very few clear cut chances, no one-on-ones, hopeful headers, speculative shots and goal mouth melees. Disappointing.

The body language of most of them was worrying for the final quarter of the game. Walking around, slumped shoulders, completely static when playing out from the back. They had the air of a team losing 3-0. One interpretation is that the youngsters are just lacking a bit of confidence and belief currently, which is understandable. The more worrying alternative is that they don’t have total faith in what they’re being asked to do. Footballers won’t take long to blame the former on the latter if they’re not winning.
I agree they’re trying hard. But working your socks off by repeatedly running blindly into trouble and losing possession - as several of them did - isn’t effective. The lack of options in possession was pretty clear from the WSU. Whether that’s teammates not working hard enough off the ball or a tactical failing, I wouldn’t know.

Enciso needs to give some of his confidnece to the others. Whereas he will shoot from pretty much anywhere, very few of the others seem to take the responsibilty. Last night, in and around the box, it felt like we were trying to walk it in. I know that on one level it makes sense to be patient and to create a better chance, but often the opposition are then all set to defend. Some times you just have to pick a corner and put your laces through it.
It seems you can divide Albion supporters into two groups.
The sensible majority.
And a minority who are brittle, needy dick-heads.
Unfortunately the latter are tiresomely noisy attention-seekers.
If we go into a Hughton-style nosedive and it looks like Fab has lost the team then he will be sacked.
There are no signs of that presently.
We are doing somewhat better than Citeh.
I'd say the chances of a Fab sacking are about the same as a Pep sacking.
If I start doing what I did during the last few weeks of Hughton (leaving at 70 minutes) it will mean a different story.
And finally I enjoyed most of the 0-0, even of the finishing was shite, and the 'sing up' signals, from Pedders, twattish.
It would be completely Wet Shammy to sack Fab now.
