[Albion] Is there anything that is actually going well at this football club?

I don’t really care about league position as long as we can see progress on the pitch and say yep when this clicks we will be a force. I see us going backwards this season unfortunately.

If missing matches and narrowly avoiding hospitalisations was classed as happy days, may I suggest you go down West Street before the Chelsea game, goad their fans, get chased, and miss the last transport to the match. You should suddenly feel a rejuvenating surge of contentment.

Well done on the Plymouth fare dodge. I managed Leicester once.

Yes. Yes there is :

- Squad oozing with the some of the worlds top young talent
- ...including several players that can go for £50m+
- We're minted (one of the richest clubs in Europe now)
- Despite recent results, we're still comfortably mid-table
-... and with an outside chance of Europe
- And despite recent results, we're still great to watch., most of the time
- Still in the cup... and you never know...
- Quality stadium
- Quality training ground
- Quality chairman and CEO

Any more?

Let's not forget where we came from. Yesterday's result was a disaster - but all things considered, things are pretty damned healthy at this football club.

Bring on the next fixture.

COYS!

We went backwards yesterday, for sure.
But we are still higher up the league than we finished last season
The direction of general travel is uncertain.

Man Citeh are definitely going Full Steam backwards by your criteria.

Perhaps if we sack Fab we can hire Pep?

Just completed the double over Man U.

There's a fair few years i've been following the albion, I would have never thought that possible

Spuds have had progress on the pitch transforming from a turgid watch to a highly entertaining watch, so if you were a Spuds fan, you wouldn't be worried about their current league position?

How are you defining "progress" and what's the measure of it, if it's not linked to league position - I'm genuinely really interested in your reasoning!

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

You haven't been paying attention to NSC properly, young man.

"Hopeless recruitment....wrong appointments....need Winstanley back...."

and just behind the lips, bursting to break free and taste the cool winter air: "sack the board".

It's all here on North Stand Bott.

(People will scream and scream until they're sick)

Citeh fan calling 6-0-6 suggests now that Citeh should replace Pep with Fab.
I shit you not.

If you still have that Balaclava, meet me at the King and Queen at eleven and we can drive him up there

Higher up now than where we FINISHED last season… the way this is going, we will definitely be lower at the end of the season.
We’ve been going backwards for a while now. Since the autumn we have only managed to play 45 mins of good football in any given game. This is such a talented squad but it’s all so stop/start…

Maybe it will come good but it all just feels wrong.

I want to be entertained for my hard earned. If we had gone hell for leather against Everton for example & hit the post 8 times and lost 1-0 so be it.
If I wanted walking football I may as well play the game myself.

Yesterday was very wrong.
But tomorrow, yesterday will seem so far away.

I was entertained yesterday - more fun than watching two counter attacking teams sitting deep and grinding out a goalless draw.

I guess entertainment is subjective........ we had 10 shots on goal yesterday, but only one hit the woodwork - would progress be defined as hitting the woodwork more?
