[Albion] Boos at full-time whistle

[Herr Tubthumper]

Congratulations but you still took the time out to start a negative thread.

I think it’s a fair thread to start.

 

[Rugrat]

Pointing out booing isn't negative?

I read it as simply trying to understand the views of those doing it. Just because you didn't hear it or don't like it doesn't mean it's negative.

 

[mickybha]

'by all accounts'... what is that supposed to mean?

It wasn't great, no, but if you want to knee-jerk us back to the championship after a few weeks of below-par performances and a few CH decisions that he may wish to have again, you'll have to get past me first.

Why can't some people understand that the premier league is hard and we're not perfect?

100 per cent and also why cant some people understand that maybe just maybe some teams are just better than us

March was awful. He can't take set pieces as well as Knocky, can't beat players like Knocky and spent most of today giving the ball away.

The important instructions are given in the dressing room at half time not on the sideline when you can't hear over 30,000 people. Puel got them right and Hughton got them wrong.

We'll have to agree to disagree about March. Apart from 1 poor corner I thought he was good.

How do you know about what was said in the dressing room? I don't really think it likely that Hughton told them in the dressing room to sit back and then spend the whole second half telling them the opposite.

 

[R. Slicker]

Well there you go. That's why the commentators mentioned it. A few miseries in the West stand.
It certainly wasn't around the ground.

The WSU know their football and could plainly see the complete lack of attacking intent in the 2nd half (until Vardy's penalty) from their lofty vantage point.

The commitment from Leicester in the second half put our display to shame. They competed with far more heart than us imo. This apparent acceptance of being second best, even against 10 men, along with what seemed like absolutely no game plan apart from stopping them scoring, was the most disappointing and worrying thing to me.

The substitutions did make a difference which begs the question, why wait so long?

Modern football is Panto, it's pampered Romans watching the Gladiators. Hence some Muppets will boo. I have never booed the Albion players. I did give Adam El Abd a thumbs down after the final whistle at the 0-5 at Selhurst but I learnt my lesson. Still have nightmares he'll come and find me.

 

[Aveacarlin']

The ref fecked us again. We've had lots of 1-0 wins lately.

Yes it's annoying but over medium term it has been getting better. Just need to get more consistant but an average team will have ups and downs in this league.

Sorry, I thought I'd just read that the ref 'fecked' us again.........nothing to do with our 11 players on the park?

didn't hear any boos - I'm in the North Stand - but there was a lot of anger and a distinct lack of applause (I didn't clap the players of the pitch - they didn't deserve it). As I see it:
either the players are doing exactly what CH tells them to do in which case we have a problem
or the players have stopped doing what he wants them to do in which case we have a problem

Its simple.....we do not score enough goals.....we regularly score one goal.....we rarely concede more than two goals.
We are not good enough to blow teams away. We have poor service from open play. We lack goals from midfield. We defend well and bravely but are prone to regular error. There are at least ten teams in the PL who are clearly better than us. We are well organised, hugely spirited and bond as a team. Our highest target position is, realistically, 11th. Today, we sit 12th.
Can we improve? Of course we can. Are we making too many mistakes? Yes, we are. Are other teams making mistakes? Yes, they are. Could we be more positive? Yes, we could. Would we benefit more by it? Well lets put it to the test. Lets go into the next three games and attack from the word go. Huddrsfld...Palace....Burnley. You would hope a pragmatic approach would realise 5 points. If we attack like crazy and win two out of three....fans would take that. If we attack like crazy and get 3-4 points, would there be rumblings about shedding important points to rivals?
At the moment, some fans are getting a little ahead of themselves. Yesterday was frustrating but we played a decent side, with better players and far more pace than us. They demonstrated how to counter-attack.They took the game away from us in the second half. Our tempo dropped and they forced us back. They deserved a point and we didn't deserve any more.
We have to accept the inevitable defeats. We have to continue to defend well. We have to improve concentration levels. We have to be a tad more clever. There are a host of clever players at this level, taking advantage of us at the moment. We are still a little naive at times.
Oh...and we have 15 points after 13 games, which, maintained, will realise over 40 points, which, despite a lot of fans saying we have been absolute gash, will be more than enough. And any fan who has any worries about survival just needs to look at our run of home fixtures from February onwards. CH is a careful manager. He wants to put points on the board, by whatever means. Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth, that was still an important point yesterday ( they took six off us last season ). Everyone knows we let ourselves down in the second half. Well, lets put it right over the next three games.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The WSU know their football

What, ALL of them?

 

[boik]

After the first goal and Leicester down to 10 men, they were there for the taking. As soon as we score though, the whole team goes into defensive mode, and then f**ks up. Substitutions coming too late in the game, Glenn Murray carrying an injury and no attacking strategy whatsoever.

Booing is never justified, however perhaps CH may just get an inkling of the fans discontent for his tactics, or lack of.

Don't think that any team as good as Leicester is ever just "there for the taking"? You're either over-playing Albions quality or under-playing theirs.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I didn't hear any boos myself from the East Lower, but if there were, it's a disgrace as there was no need for it. Leicester played very well second half, i don't think it was a question of us not trying.

 

[Guinness Boy]

How do you know about what was said in the dressing room? I don't really think it likely that Hughton told them in the dressing room to sit back and then spend the whole second half telling them the opposite.

Of course no one knows WHAT was said in the dressing room but it clearly wasn't effective. That's the point.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Oh good you got the attendance right....rest drivel

Funny that... 21 people agree with my initial post, they must talk drivel too.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Pretty entertaining game I thought. Plenty going on all the way through - result always in the balance either way.

So by entertaining I suppose they mean it’s boring if Albion don’t win - which is not the same thing at all.

If we lost every single week, I’d get fed up with it but otherwise, for anyone that enjoys football, it’s hard to see what the problem is.

You'd wonder where some would go next if that happened....some getting there nickers in a twist over a draw and yearning for championship/league 1 football as if that would provide what they want week in week out...if only it was that simple

Oh must make you feel so lovely inside ..wow 21 thumbs up...how many for the post I referred too? Any?

No, I just get the feeling you think 22 people on here talk bollocks whilst, of course, you are always right.

Once again....I referred to another post...not the one where you like to court thumbsup...but you will ignore that won't you as it doest suit your agenda

PS wasn't it 21 a minute ago...or are you monitoring it by the second?

I am so sorry not to go through 26 pages to find your correct post whilst the rest of us talk out of our arse. You are of course correct in everything you have said and anything else is bollocks. I therefore bow to your superiority.
