well, it's all a matter of opinion. mine is that he is a manager i am proud to have at my club. who plays a style of football that, when it works, creates chances, defends well and certainly entertains me.
it is always hard to watch us lose - but we weren't so far off last night. we created a...
the upcoming sale on january 5th was definitely shown at some point during the game
last night was the least i have seen on the fan zone thing - no shots of the fans and no dancers - girls, groups or otherwise. my lad also wondered what the 'security gully' was. frankly, i don't see why they...
the ability to play with a style and flair that will eventually allow us to compete with much better teams. All the managers above built teams based on gritty determination, scaring the beejesus out of the opposition, sticking together, grinding out results and, most of all, had a 30+ goal...
but he isn't is he? he is a very good manager. he attracts quality players that have never heard of brighton and he has got us playing a solid, attractive and effective style of football. sometimes we don't win - oh boo hoo. remember march 2011? Gus might have the quality to build us into a team...
i just don't understand what people expect. this is a hard league with at least 12 clubs that think they should be in the prem. we are competing with them and may one day even get there ourselves. if we lose gus, what are we going to end up with? mind you, i wonder what the villa boards are...
he has a vision of how to play the game that we have seen works. but players are people and don't always stick to it, particularly when they feel the game is slipping away from them. right or wrong - that is how he appears to see it.
as fans we can see that it isn't right and that lumping it...
i just don't think he is nasty enough. he would rather pick up scraps than get his nose broken going for it. not a criticism - but we need someone that is prepared to do that - all teams do, but not many have one (at least not one that has some skill as well)
we are competing in the top half of the second tier - have some faith in someone who has proven himself capable of putting a decent team together - just now needs to do it at a much higher level. he aint that far away.
anyone that shouts 'gus out' in ear shot of the man should really take a long look at themselves. he has given us some of the most amazing moments of the last 30 years and deserves much more time to sort out the current problems, not to mention a bit of respect. if only all those other teams...
odd thread. plenty of things to moan about tonight, koosh definitely not one of them. of course he isn't perfect, if he was he would be keeping de gea on his arse up north. but really? best all round keeper we have had for a long, long time
oops - how has PP agreed with me?? mr burns next? CMS is clearly a player that loves running onto balls and tapping in easy chances. He is not one for getting ahead of defenders and sticking his head where it might hurt. so many balls into the box are just cleared unchallenged. cms would be...
i thought bruno and orlandi were struggling for fitness and with no buckley, we lacked a cutting edge. el abd was shown lacking against what was a very good side. that said, crofts should really have stuck his chance away and the crunch goal was pure luck for them - last 20 mins was hard to bear...
Really good read that. Like you, my parents had no interest at all. It's my youngest's birthday today (14). He doesn't like football - in that he has no interest in scores of any team other than Albion, never watches on telly (even Albion) but he likes going to games. I have taken him home and...
i would write personally to someone senior at the club and i am fairly certain they will respond appropriately. This is still an open and friendly club - just need to let your problem be known to the right person.
good luck!
In 100-odd years we have won promotion to the top division once and come close maybe 3 other times. The fact that we are serious challengers is down to tony and gus as a team and I would be gutted if this was split because people who love to moan force gus out.
We are so close to a very good...
