Could be a long time until we get a chance to win another trophy

[nicko31]

Followed the Albion for 38 years, we've won titles but only in the 3rd and 4th tier.

Whilst over the moon with promotion, was absolutely gutted in the manner we lost today really had problems holding it together. As an honour it would have been Albion's greatest in 107 years if not ever

That's all, roll on August and the new challenge....

I doubt that I will ever see us lift one as today was the day

 

[knocky1]

Wasn't 1979 38 years ago? You must have been a JCL to miss it.

 

[Stat Brother]

Chances are Bruno will now never lift a league trophy.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Huh........Glorious opportunity,we will never have a better chance,that said who would have had thought we would have had a better chance than we did when we finished the 2015-16 season either.

 

[BBassic]

Only a few months. We're in three competitions next season and by merely competing we have a chance to win them. In theory.

 

[Seagull]

Yes maybe the 1910 Charity Shield does trump a third division title ...

We finished second that season, and 16th the next, which I would probably accept now.

Even I can't argue with that as much as I try. Apology [MENTION=15360]nicko31[/MENTION].

You could always claim that finishing second in 1979 was fake news put out by the mainstream media? It worked for the Donald.

 

[KJP]

We get a trophy for coming 2nd

We came second in 1979 - to Palace!

 

[sparkie]

FA / League Cup next season with our improved squad ?

You never can tell.

We won play off trophy in 2004

It might have felt like a loss, but we drew. It's all about expectations. Villa's home record is nearly as good as ours, so I wasn't expecting to win.

At least we won't get knocked out in the early rounds now.

The chance came and went last week a draw away at Villa any other time would be a great result.

 

[Brovion]

Bollocks. We've got every chance of winning a trophy in the next few seasons, better than we've had for years in fact. Sadly though a lot of people on here don't want us to win trophies: better to get three points in the next league game than progress in a Cup. Too risky.

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

If you include U23s, we won Sussex Senior Cup last week

 

[Perfidious Albion]

C'Mon.... The ELF Cup, F A Cup... These are targets that have been won by clubs no bigger than us. If Leicester can win the Premier League then anything can happen.

One day I want to see us in Europe, in whatever format they have then . I am still a believer.
