Not at all, shall be marching on triumphantly :D So what do we reckon, Anderson for Leach seems a given, plus maybe Robinson for Wood although I would hope Wood still has a lot in the tank after not bowling much in Hyderabad.

Quite. If it felt like this was our only opportunity with this squad, it would probably be more frustrating. But its really just the beginning with this bunch, and the recruitment of talented youngsters continues a pace. Its hard to see future seasons without us challenging at all.

Yeah, fair enough. 15 points from our first six games, lets say it all comes together when the silky players are fit again and we get 15 points from our last six games, with a point a game from the 26 in between like we're currently rolling with, that's 56 points. Got 62 last year, 56 would...

Yeah, sure, agreed - but it was really shit :)

Walsall 3 -0 Brighton at the start of Slades tenure. Woeful, miserable, boring

Still on, albeit running out of time a bit....

These 3.45 am kickoff are starting to try my patience, first West Ham, then Wolves, now this. That's enough, back to bed. At least I'll be at the Amex on Saturday

Haven't we been through this? He did sit on the bench for a couple of months. Then he got his place back when Steele was injured, was excellent as we beat Chelsea away and then kept a clean sheet over 120 minutes in the cup semi final. And then was dropped again as RDZ made it clear he...

I'm not overly impressed with Bart either. Why we've created this clusterfuck when we had such a talented young keeper already I don't know.

I still can't believe we forced out the best young keeper I've ever seen at Brighton for this. RDZ owes us 5 years for that decision alone If Steele is going to be picked for his feet then use the bloody things and don't just keep hoofing it long..

So about that 12-0 defeat then.......

This is like a Huddersfield, Cardiff, Sheffield Utd mkI, Forest type game. Unfancied promoted team giving it their all at home.I don't feel like we've done very well in these games.

You think RDZ exudes ''happiness'? One of the grumpiest managers I've come across!

Remember both those games well. and since that 93 win, we didn't win another third round tie for 17 years until knocking Torquay out in 2010. No wonder giant killing memories are so few and far between

Its good. Last year MacAllister came back a winner, and we saw a decent player become one of the best in the whole league for the rest of the season. Trossard came back a loser, went into a tantrum and buggered off. Come on Simon :)

I'm glad he did that. have to say young Bart is starting to try my patience. We are so much in need of an upgrade on Steele but Bart is just not doing enough to consign him to full time bench-warming. He insists on playing little triangle passes regardless, and messing up quite a few, whereas...

I remember this map, what year was it from? Guess things change a bit as teams come in and out of the national league - if Worthing went up it would slash our fan base - but I have always liked this stat :)

Can I push back a little on the concept of 'this is our model'? That does imply we actively seek out sales of our best players. Whereas we actively tried to keep Cucurella and Caicedo before the offers got too big to turn down, and in the cases of Bissouma, Trossard and MacAllister they had each...

By referring to our buy/sell strategy, you can only mean when will the fans 'turn against Bloom?' Pretty certain the answer will be never. His successor on the other hand, maybe quite soon. Already seems a bit of disgruntlement appearing against Top, Vichai's son, on the Leicester boards

I don't truly believe that Chelsea can win away at Liverpool either, but I'm including it in the 'technically possible' pot :thumbsup: You great big argumentative fella :p
