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

Seriously? You are kidding me?
Of course I am.

Still in camp Fab (till he's sacked).

I would never have the temerity to urge our present owner to act.
I know something about a few things, but absolutely nothing about how to run a football club.

Likewise. We all want to see us challenging the best but don't have a clue about the running of a club.

Because he’s desperate for attention.

What is wrong with you? This is an Albion thread on an Albion forum, it's not in any way about me. You really are a sad little man and you shouldn't be a moderator here, to put it bluntly.

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’m a trust your gut instinct type and it’s not looking good I’m afraid.
It’s not the conceding of seven goals that can happen it was the who in their right mind sets a team out like that in the first place? Sheer incompetence at this level.

There's lots going well. Way back in the dim and distant past when Adam was a lad we were happy just to survive in the PL. Now we have (stated) ambitions to be a Top Ten team and qualify for Europe - and maybe even win a Cup. We are still an amazingly-well run club that is often cited as THE ideal PL club. We have evolved a transfer business model that works pretty well - proof of this is the fact that we no longer panic at the end of every transfer window and lambast the club for failing to sign a Spurs reserve to be our saviour striker for example.

The club is still making progress and progress is never a straight line, it's often two steps forward and one back. We have taken a small step back, but we're still roughly where we should be. I think the 'Fab Out Now!' lot are a bit too panicky, but on the other hand anyone who hasn't got any concerns is possibly being a bit blindly over-optimistic. A big couple of months coming up which will set the stage for next season.

No one is questioning the club structure, this weekend it has been about our hopeless managers tactics.
There is no need to go happy clapping for positives.
Yes they are! I've seen it on here and other social media.

Too many more results like Saturday's, and Bloom will probably start thinking about instructing his scouts to explore other managerial options.

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!
Well said.

I would agree with most of that, but:-

1) The way the team set up on Saturday was utterly bizarre. I do think as fans we can legitimately question decisions like that, especially when we got then got stuffed 7-0; and

2) I don't understand the transfer business model in this window at least. We are likely to end up with at least

-1 net forward less than we had at end of December (Ferguson out and forward signed who then goes straight back out on loan)

-Net one defender down - McConville, Lamptey out and only Cashin in.

Apart from that, err.....carry on Tone and Barbs!

Great club
Genuine people running the club who care
Generally good fans
Beautiful stadium that is a pleasure to go to

They are not going to get everything right, but everyone would surely agree we’ve had a damn good run of it.

Nobody moaned much after FH’s first few months. Don’t know if he’s the answer but surely deserves a chance…..
