    [Albion] Marauding centre backs

    I’m not particularly enjoying Potter shoehorning Cucurella into that role, it diminishes he’ his effectiveness on the flank where he’s been so good for us.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    I know what you’re getting at, but they never even hit the target.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    I appreciate my stance will be coming across as anti Potter, but I promise you I’m not. In all honesty I’m probably conflicted with my emotions at the moment. I think Potter is a very good manager, and if you gave him Villa’s squad for example, he’d be absolutely flying. The club’s reluctance to...

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    Yesterday is an outlier really as Norwich were utterly abject, they offered almost nothing.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    It’s just really hard to ignore every bit of his BS. I often just roll my eyes and laugh at his utter lack of understanding of all things Albion, but every now and then I can’t resist the urge.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    As I mentioned, had to watch on tv and it sounded awful. Having attended every home game it’s been ok at best this season.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    That has nothing to do with what I posted? Out of interest, how many shit runs of form at you prepared to endure before enough is enough? Outside of 4 wins from our opening 5 fixtures this season has actually been one colossal pile of crap punctuated by the odd win here and there. We’re boring...

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    It’s bonkers that so many of us get drawn into replying to this character. They knew nothing about the Albion until 3 years ago, and short of punting around on the internet and googling fictional transfer fees, they still know absolutely nothing about the club. The sycophantic defence of all...

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    It’s funny that you’re trying to push the narrative that Potter’s squad has been built on buttons and lollipop sticks. Hughton had very few saleable assets so comparing his overall spend to Potter’s, who could afford to sell Bernardo, Knockaert, Stephens etc is a pointless exercise.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    Unfortunately that was our home and away results. We went 13 without a win in the league from September to December. Our away form has been ok, but we have only won twice on the road since September 11th.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    But this current run is our 2nd dreadful spell of form this season. Remember, we beat Leicester on the 19th of September, our next league win didn’t come until Boxing Day. Over 3 months without a league win? Most managers get the sack for that.

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    Big difference between playing Burnley twice a year and playing Brighton. We’re easy to prepare for in as much we play the same football as many other teams, it’s all possession based, patterns of play and playing through the counter. Preparing for us is meat and drink for a PL manager as they...

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    I think it’s been fine in spells, and has had moments where it’s been fantastic, but these last couple of months have been nothing short of diabolical. Having said that, I guess it’s subjective, if you enjoy super slow football, with relentless repetitive patterns which are easy to defend...

    [Albion] Form that often gets a manager the sack

    He’s had 3 or 4 periods of form that would usually result in a manger getting sacked. This current run and this season’s overall stats are horrific, we’re disgustingly poor at home and it’s never really changed under his stewardship. I personally wouldn’t want to see him sacked, but I have no...

    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey

    If we had some competent attackers with pace then he’d probably still be performing at a better standard, but seeing as we’ve slowed our whole game down and all of our attackers look bereft of talent and confidence then I’m not overly surprised that he’s not looking so hot right now.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Norwich City *** Official Match Thread ***

    On the plus side, at least it looks like we’re going to sell some key first team players this summer and use a load of untested kids and budget euro league players. Ahhh, the Premier League dream.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Norwich City *** Official Match Thread ***

    Norwich have conceded 63 goals this season, and not a single one by us. Utterly inept.
