No agenda. I've made a point of saying I don't think Oscar should be sacked. But there are a lot of players who said they joined the Albion when we were at Withdean because Knight sold them the dream of Falmer etc. Everyone misses out on signings. Particularly at a club with no money. But to say...

I do worry we don't have the Dick Knight and later Gus Poyet figure who was excellent at selling the club to prospective signings and making them feel wanted and part of that vision etc. Both those figures had their faults, but they could sell a dream. Am sure I read somewhere that CMS met...

I would quite like to see Dunk playing alongside Upson for the majority of the remaining games. It can only benefit Dunk's progression to be playing alongside Upson - might as well use his experience while we have it.

Don't understand the people who say things like 'All those people who booed or left early shouldn't come back and go and support Chelsea' or similar. We need their money. I stayed until the end. I didn't boo. But I would rather have 20,000 season tickets holders including some who left early...

I accept he won't have been looking at recruitment at the tail end of last season like some management teams would have. Far from ideal. But, at the same time, a squad which finished fourth wasn't in need of THAT much surgery in terms of getting new players in. Upson the most important signing...

A good player. One of our most important. But he does piss me off a little tiny bit with his remonstrating with the referee and hard done by mannerisms when he doesn't get a free kick.

I would moan about it being £32 but then again, that is what the Albion charge a lot of away teams I believe (give or take a couple of quid) - although I may be wrong.

We went on a pretty good run after that and but for a Speroni save from Ashley Barnes would have taken the lead against Palace in the Play Offs second leg.

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think fans would have been anywhere near as excited if we had appointed say, an old Manchester United youth team coach who had had one good season in somewhere like Switzerland or Scotland. A lot of fans got over-excited by the Barcelona...

I would imagine it is because the dad keeps his and his two children's tickets together. Just as easy as losing one in that case I would think.

Right, before I get going, I am NOT in the Oscar Out camp. More the Remain to be Convinced camp. But keep reading how he didn't get a proper pre-season to work with the players and that the club was in turmoil when he arrived. From what I can see online, Oscar was appointed head coach on June...

The same coaching team/football operations manager that isn't playing him signed him so presumably - if they researched the transfer properly - they would have been aware of any potential attitude problems. I am not saying Agustien is blameless, but I imagine the coaching team knew what they...

I would hope so.

Good spot. Thanks. Amended.

After the disappointment and frustration some fans are feeling regarding the change of the Yeovil game thought I would look at how often TV has impacted the Albion home games this season. It actually isn't THAT often. That isn't to say I don't still have massive amounts of sympathy for those...

I am always confused by the idea that fans are entertained by the total number of goals in a game. I prefer it when the opposition scores nil.

I actually agree in general that it shouldn't really be an issue when appointing a new manager but appreciate Oscar Garcia was going to need a degree of patience while he adjusted to English football. Replacing a large per centage of the first team squad - as could happen this summer - is...

I would actually not mind seeing Walton step up to reserve goalkeeper, Ince continue his progression to a key player and Dunk, Forster-Caskey and March get regular starts. Chicksen and Monakana used on the bench. That said, our budget this year was up on last season so would think even if it...

You watch, we'll win 5-0 tomorrow.* *Possibly/probably not.

Looking at the number of players nearing the end of their contracts and with Oscar heading into his first full pre season knowing his squad and what it needs, the turnover of playing staff could be pretty high. Anyone slightly apprehensive that it could mean another period of transition as new...
