[Albion] Boos at full-time whistle

[LlcoolJ]

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

It's utterly pathetic. I was getting in a minor sulk at full time yesterday. As the tables were shown, my son said "Look Dad, imagine being bottom of League 2 and almost dropping out of the league altogether. Can you imagine?". He read Build a Bonfire recently.

Have some perspective you dicks. If an 11 year old who's only known us going from strength to strength gets it then you should too.

I despair.

The best form of defence is attack and if we have the ball in their half they cannot score so the substitutions should have both been made on 60 mins to give us an attacking option to take the game away from Leicester, Bad management and a s mistake by CH and his team, quite simple really.

Or keeping the ball which we can’t do anyway unless we stroke it about at the back

Nice. It is perspective, it just isn't towing your line.

Dam if only Leicester had complied and simply sat back....perhaps a little bit of credit to the way they played...at times fast and slick ..alongside the puzzling approach by us in that first period of the second half.......re subs...its generally hindsight on what most managers do or dont do CH is no different and he'll have too take any mistakes on the chin

Frustration can flood over in many different guises. The comments about losing CH and slipping back down to the Championship are ridiculous. Did Leicester when they sacked Ranieri? Have Watford with their constant management changes? West Ham? Palace? Southampton? Oh no because we are Norwich incarnate. Today was an absolute shambles in the second half. Home, one man up, no change in shape. Sorry today was an embarrassment and if people want to show their frustration they have every right. Oh and has anyone ever thought we may go down with CH, not in spite of him?

The current league table. The current points tally and the gap to other relegation candidates who will have to come to the Amex in the 2nd half of the season don't point in that direction

I think you'll find you're wrong... again.

Time will tell I guess, playing like a league 2 side in the Prem will have its knock on effects.

 

[Right Back]

We are so poor that we are only 8th in the table for home games and above Manchester United!

I think that's a bit harsh on the guys who have amassed the points they have to date

Cannot argue with the points we have amassed but we rode our luck big time in getting most of them. Rub of the green has changed though as we haven’t had any of the breaks in the last two games, in fact you could argue we may have been robbed of 3 to 5 points.

I long for a good 90 minute performance that doesn’t mean backs to the wall defending though....

A lot of new faces in the squad - It's been the same every season since CH arrived at Brighton

He had to overhaul a poor Championship squad. Then you have to produce a promotion winning squad. Then you have to produce a squad capable of staying in the PL. The progression has to be gradual. All the new faces need to learn the ropes and what is expected of them and their roles (and they all have many) when they play.

Apart from the first season. I don't know the stats but the period where CH teams amass the most points is around the January February or March period of the season. That tends to suggest that it takes the new players a bit of time to adapt to the Manager's philosophy.

Eventually it will get to the stage where we have a squad where there are only one or two changes in personnel at each transfer window but in recent years, the changes in leagues have meant that we have had to make many changes during transfer windows. Progression has been quite meteoric in the last few years and that can't happen without a few mistakes, a few blips and a few disappointments along the way.

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.

You did well, seeing as he didn't play in that game.
Here's the line ups.

Less than those amassed this time last season? Just a guess, haven't googled it.

How do other teams consistently change players and do better? At all levels. You’d think we are alone in new players coming in? Besides, we don’t play our new faces so not sure you’re on the right track here. Isn’t it rather our players are just not good enough and or manager too cautious?

Pedantic suits you perfectly.
