    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey

    I'd love to see him sign a new contract. He has slotted in seamlessly in the absence of Pervis. He can play either side of the defence and gives an alternative option in a wide attacking position. I understand that Pervis and Ferdi are likely to be preferable choices but having a competitive...

    [Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

    I was shocked that we decided to spend £40m on a player but he is brilliant

    [Albion] Diego Gomez

    I really like him. He gathers the ball well and plays dangerous passes, he nearly set up 2 goals with his first 3 touches. It would be harsh on anyone to miss out on Tuesday

    [Albion] To Avoid Hürzeler Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 27 Update

    The "staying up" tracker shows 10 home fixtures where we would hope for 3 points as these are the bottom 10 sides based on last season's finishing positions... We have so far played 7 of these fixtures and not won ANY of these, (W0 D5 L2) . Last season's top 10 (actually top 9) have provided us...

    [Albion] Who is your favourite current Albion player?

    Baleba, Van Hecke, Joao Pedro. Although I think Gomez is likely to break into my top 3 by the end of the season

    [Albion] When did things last feel this bad?

    I responded to a friend yesterday who was similarly wishing for an axe to fall. However our aim is to be a profitable club that plays possession based football by playing young talent and giving them opportunities to excel. Finishing in the top 10 is ideal and pushing for a European spot is...

    [Albion] Tariq Lamptey - Hypothetical scenario

    I'd love to see him sign a new deal. A great squad player

    [Albion] Dicks

    I'm sure I've heard that somewhere previously. I had in my mind that it would become the new Dick's bar, but maybe I have misunderstood

    [Football] "Quality Signings"

    It makes me laugh how many fans phone in to talk sport to moan that their club need to go and spend big this window. A discussion around Spurs and how poor Ange hasn't been backed as they only signed youngsters in the summer. Then I thought how many of our team yesterday had any premier league...

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    I'm really interested to see how Gomez fits into the squad. Looks a great player

    [Football] Are Man U really in danger of getting relegated?

    Rumours are that Ashworth was openly against them recruiting Amiron as manager. He was pushing for United to have an identity in their style based on who is in the squad and how they'd like to recruit over the next few transfer windows and then select a manager that fits their model. The other...

    [Albion] Fab IN

    After 12 difficult fixtures we sat 4th and many fans thought we had uncovered a magic formula as we stroll through the season. That level of complacency seems to have cost us. Most sides hit a bad patch during each season, RDZ didn't win in his first 6 games, and ours has coincided with a...

    [Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

    Our aim is top 10 side consistently. RDZ finished 11th and I wasn't desperate for him to leave. If Hurzler finishes in the top 12 then he will be close enough. We had a great run early on and now a poor run, no need to change manager just yet. I'd be surprised if there was any push from the club...

    [Help] Ear wax removal

    Glad you've had some success. I'd suggest investing in an endoscope that connects to your phone, it has been a game changer for me

    [Albion] What's missing?

    We like to play football, such sides often play a low block and get plenty of players back in a defensive shape. We struggle to break down such a set up and we rarely shoot from any great distance. Additionally we a dangerous on the break, a side that is sitting back doesn't leave much space or...

    [Albion] Just how good is Hürzeler?

    Although they have only played four of the "top 6" so far. They do have several games coming up against sides very close to them in the table so these will be pressured due to their current league position. I still think ours has been "trickier" so far, suggesting our next 7 to the midway point...

    [Albion] Just how good is Hürzeler?

    An incredible start. We have won half of our games! We have played all the sides with a positive goal difference including the "top 6" and the current teams ranked 1 to 7. I don't think anyone has had a tougher set of fixtures than us so far. We have lost just twice to Liverpool and Chelsea...

    [Albion] How close is this squad to being top 4?

    I cannot find a side that has played a tougher set of fixtures so far this season. Our last 5 games has been Spurs, Newcastle, Wolves, Liverpool & Man City. We have walked away with 10 points which could/should have been more

    [Albion] 5 Live Sport Monday Night Club: Could Brighton make the Champions League?

    Ferdi is the Right back and I'm unsure if we will sign a centre back with our current squad. 5 players can easily play there and do a decent job

    [Albion] Hughton, Potter, De Zerbi, Hurzeler

    FH is the right sort of candidate to succeed in our structure. Bloom, Barber & Weir have created a system which provides young talented players for a manager to coach and utilise. We looked for a manager who is willing to join the ethos and isn't fearful of playing raw talent. We need a manager...
