[Albion] Derby County Vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Match Day thread***

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Let's hope we don't need a result on the last day of the season

We will be down before then at this rate

 

[HantsSeagull]

still going well with the fee kicks i see. why does JFC have to stand over them and then not take them (thank god). get in the fu**ing box.

 

[Silent Bob]

Although it is has become apparent that SM hasn't the ability to manage our club please do not kid yourselves that this is a good squad. It is ordinary at best and maybe just good enough to escape relegation with the right man in charge. Anyone who seriously believes that this bunch could have challenged for the play offs again was deluded.

Definitely not the playoffs but 2nd or 3rd from bottom, no way. It's a better squad than that, especially now.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

Great, another week for Hyypia then

Hopefully not

 

[Icy Gull]

No doubt Sami will be taking heart from the fact we played quite well once we went 3-0 down

 

[Mutts Nuts]

A thumping today will hopefully see the manager gone by Monday and 3 points on Friday, can't see us beating Millwall with Hyypia in charge.

We wont win Friday no matter who is in charge , if you cannot afford to maintain your Ferrari it breaks down no matter who is driving it, pretty much the same with a football club

 

[Skylar]

I suggest you keep off the CRACK COCAINE!

I could do with some

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Friday will be like Billy Smarts Circus with Holloway and Hyppia in charge

Unfortunately there's 15 minutes now for our manager to speak to the players.

 

[sir albion]

JFC as (sort of) defensive midfielder, poor bloke is not a defensive midfielder. Holla, Ince, Toko are, JFC should be playing further forward.

He shouldn't be playing full stop...No pace or skill and certainly not strong enough

Ferrari? You must be joking? More like a Skoda this season.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Millwall 0 Boro 4 could b worse

Gives up hope for next Friday

I expect Millwall's hierarchy will be thinking about how to deal with a bad situation. The Albion, on the other hand, will be flogging Christmas jumpers.

 

[British Bulldog]

Got to feel sorry for the fans that have travelled today, All that way, All that money and game over after 20 mins.

 

[neilbard]

I could do with some

Me too!!!

 

[GT49er]

It's been in my mind for a while that TB's plan is to give SH the winter transfer window to turn things round (with some new players) and maybe replace him with a firefighter type of manager if one was needed with ten or twelve matches to go. I don't think that is tenable any more.

But whoever we replace Sami with (and whenever) it will be futile unless the recruitment organisation is completely ditched, and replaced with a chief scout and a scouting team directly responsible to the manager (with financial constraints to work within, obviously).

 

[Barry Izbak]

Paddy Power are offering 3/4 Derby and 7/2 Brighton

More faith in the Albion than most here have

Surely 3/4 is free money

Anyone else cashing in? Whip round with the proceeds to pay the Finn off

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Players are giving it a go, which does tell me they are fighting for the manager. Just zero cinfidence and the setup is wrong against Derby.

 

[Eeyore]

I tuned in and started watching after the goals had been scored. It has been a competent away performance since then. Notably since Ince arrived. Can we start again ?

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

It is quite clear that after this abysmal team selection and performance the club should refund all ticket holders their money. Nothing less from Tony and the club will suffice. If he and Barber do not do this they will have gone way down in my estimation.

Supporters have given up their time and money to travel half way up the country to have their club perform like this. Total rubbish Bloom, Barber, Hypia, Jones and all.

 

[neilbard]

No doubt Sami will be taking heart from the fact we played quite well once we went 3-0 down

Don't forget the 30 or so Erm's as well
