Love you Maty and love your honesty. GP keeping Steele in because he likes the role he performs is all well and good, but it must rub further salt into the wound to be (in practice) dropped from 1st to 3rd choice.

I’m now Potter out, but only when we have a suitable replacement. For me that would be Howe. He led a tinpot team to 5 years in the Prem and a 9th place finish. They played some exciting, practical football. Contrary to many people on here, I never found him particularly smug either. I hate...

Vaga, in your opinion, how many seasons do you think Welbeck (who’s 30) will play for us?

Swanny, as we Albion fans aren’t used to welcoming others along for the ride as we’re a regional club who have spent so long in the lower leagues (and thus don’t expect people outside Sussex to start supporting us, let alone the country!), you’ve done incredibly well to endear yourself to many...

Not quite sure why you’ve quoted my post there alongside that one about Bloom?

I like your perspective vagabond, and usually I'd agree with this, but this is no different to having a stadium full of 30,000 Albion fans voicing their opinion at the final whistle and chatting about it in the concourses and on the train home. I believe there probably would have been boos at...

I agree. It's pacy until we reach that invisible line of the final third, then they literally don't have a clue what to do with the ball.

I agree with you. He was asked to do the nigh impossible today and worked his socks off trying to hold his own up there. Looked more skilful as of late, probably owing to more game time recently. I'm not sure he's the answer, and certainly not in that lineup, but he was certainly better than 3-4...

Potter should be pointing his finger at the club for any "expectations" that were set among us. I actually believe our expectations are realistically lower than ones like this click-bait article on the club website. I can help Albion reach the Top Ten, says Welbeck...

Weststander I usually agree with most of what you write, but I'm more inclined to support Luke's view here. At the end of the day Potter has gone through periods where he's done a lot better with this current squad of players. The club have only added to the squad with the likes of Lallana...

Likewise I probably shouldn't post when I'm disgruntled, but Gross and Bernardo shouldn't be anywhere near this starting XI. Contrary to everybody who believes the recruitment has been shocking, I can quite confidently say that we've got better players than those two. Alzate and Molumby must be...

People are going to get sick of me referring to this article over and over again, but was it us or the club that set lofty ambitions for ourselves? The club. Therefore, when we're sliding towards a relegation fight already, how are fans expected to react? I can help Albion reach the Top Ten...

After Sheffield I was "Potter in, but...". After West Ham I was on the fence. Now, I'm out. Huge gamble playing a League Cup starting XI out there tonight. Fair enough if we were on a good run, but when you desperately need a result at home, he had about a 10% chance of that pulling off. How...

This. Burn was being roasted by Saka a good 5-10 minutes before he set up Lacazette's goal. It's not his fault that he isn't faster, and Bernardo offered him zero help. A decisive manager would have plugged that weakness somehow before the goal went in as it was blindingly obvious to everyone at...

This is what I thought as the final whistle was blown. How exactly was that any different than watching us under CH? I think the commentator's actually had blue and white tinted spectacles on when they were saying how well we played in the first half. We didn't. It was slow and turgid, the only...

I'm not sure you and I watched the same game as I thought he was utterly insignificant and offered Burn no help with Saka whatsoever, whilst also being unwilling to take his man on down the wing.

Anyone else feeling mildly more enthusiastic/morbidly curious after seeing that lineup, at the prospect of it being either spectacularly bad or a stroke of genius? Probably just me. :dunce: :mad:

Yeah, I'd put them as neck-and-neck at the top. I think I'd go with Solly, only because he looks like creating more goal scoring opportunities. Not sure if the stats back that feeling up though!

If Lamptey continues to struggle with his fitness, March is in pole position for player of the season in my opinion.

This is the worrying thing for me. I feel apathetic, resigned as I'm at that point that I can't see how we're going to win and thus am beginning not to expect us to. We've drawn to West From, Burnley, Fulham, Sheffield United and now West Ham. On this trajectory, what match are we going to...
