Does anyone else expect us to do OK in some of these TOUGH matches coming up?

[Insel affe]

I read on here somewhere from someone that dont worry as we play better against the big teams ................ Deeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thats kinda a massive insult to the likes of Tranmere, Huddersfield etc as we were not trying because they aint big enough to bother with....................Deeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr

Although we may surprise one of the above teams maybe two of them, However i very much doubt it and when its all over playing the big boys we will be well adrift.............Arrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh

I want my club to be doing better than this shit there serving up, im just glad im not wasting my money down at the withdean.I respect those that go week in week out......well done you all deserve a medal

You are not made at all. Knowing the Albion we will probably lose to Wycombe the beat all of the big four.

my thinking too its typical of the Albion let you down in a match you should win then go and beat the top teams ................lets hope you and I are right

I think we will suprise a few and do reasonably well during November.

I have been saying for some time we will do better than most people expect. Football is "a funny ol' game". You frequently get a team that hasn't won facing a team that hasn't lost and you get the first win for the team on the losing streak, etc. It seems the more obvious a result is, the less likely it is to happen.

So, getting something against leeds would be so unthinkable that we're likely to run over them. They have an off day and everything clicks for us.


However, given events yesterday, now I'm not so sure. Managerless teams can sometimes put a run together, but often things are uncertain and teams are in disarray. Given we have the guy who lost 12 of his thirteen previous games in charge and he's being assisted by someone in his first coaching job, I don't have so high hopes anymore.

Of course, it could all change if we bring in a manager quick, and get the team performing as well as I am certain they can. If that happens, we should be one of those big teams.

Our players do raise their game, especially when playing at a proper ground with a big crowd.

Some of our most memorable games have been backs to the wall stuff and heroric displays. Our famous last win at Palace came a few days after a home defeat that sent us bottom of the table and Palace went into the game following a 5-0 win.

It's always been the 'easy' games that Albion have messed up.

Are you sure about this though? It seems to me to be a bit of a cliche people say because we all notice when a crap team beats one of the league leaders. 9 times out of 10, however, the leaders win comfortably and no one deems it interesting enough to pass comment. Not saying we will definetey lose all 4 (though I think we will) but I bet fans from every club reckon their team will pull a result out against a big team, which true could happen but in reality probably won't.

Let's just hope a new man (or Hope Powell) can come in and at least give us a fighting chance in those games.

Oh ye of little faith, we've already got three more points than some of you thought we'd get from all four games
