Fair enough and good points. I didn't really intend it to sound that way but reading it back that's exactly what it sounds like and you are 100% correct to pull me up on that! All I was pointing out is that it's a fact that League 1 football in an open bowl will never have the same level of...
To be honest all this "we've got the best fans" stuff bores me after a while. You end up eating your own words given enough time.
It's great we get 20k to games even when down at the bottom but where were they on cold and rainy nights at Withdean? If (please no) we get relegated then it will...
I assumed the smoke bomb came from the away end but if they arrested someone in the East Stand then it would suggest the OB had evidence to the contrary.
Absolutely love the man. He's been my favourite player for years. We've had some great representatives on the pitch like Liam and Bobby but Calde's positivity and commitment is so consistent and backed up by the shifts he put in I think he truly an Albion legend. I also really like his...
Happy we have made an appointment. Happy it is someone with some kind of half decent track record. Confident that he should have the ability to get us out of trouble this season. Time will tell as to where he can take us but right now it's about securing a place away from the relegation zone...
Take a bit of pressure off him with a flat back four and I bet his game will improve. Having said that I can see your point re his age and we do need a proper succession plan for central defence. Good to see therefore that Dunk has been impressive this season, probably our best player.
That's the point though isn't it? Profligate. Sitters have been missed. There have been 20-30 yard shots due to lack of options. There has also been plenty of play in the box that has come to nothing. That cross Paddy put in that went across the box....
I agree the stats do not tell the...
This is all true. The other side to that coin, however, is that we have been creating chances with greater numbers in attack, even if we look a little slow at times. The stats show we are one of the best teams in the league at creating chances but extremely profligate and simply not putting...
Don't forget he is playing in system that leaves him and Dunk exposed in any kind of counter attack. That just adds to the pressure that key players like him must be feeling at the moment.
Have you ever been to any grassroots games? The way some kids and (more to the point) their parents behave mimics the worst of the worst of what you see week in and week out at the "professional" level.
I love the fact we have a great stadium. I think the training ground is fantastic. I have a very grudging respect for Barber and his approach to the finances.
I worry that unless we ensure a reasonable league position this year then the season ticket revenue will crash next season and we have...
Earlier this week I was thinking 2 Wins 2 draws and 1 loss. 8 points. Having heard the reports from tonight I am not that confident. I am still not fully in the Sami must go now camp but won't argue if he goes Saturday if we get thumped.
The ONLY action that will make a real difference to those responsible for running the club is not to turn up. The chance of this not being very high up on the agenda of every person with any commercial responsibility at the club is nil to feck all. Season ticket revenues may be essentially...
