Expectations for the Albion this coming season.

[Stat Brother]

Start next season how we finished last.
This time Tony acts BEFORE going to Aussieland, sacking Hughton late November.
Appoints Calde as manager.
Relegated by March.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Championship victory by mid Jan
League Cup winners
FA Cup winners
Champions League Winners
Sussex Senior cup losers first round vs Bexhill on Sea 4-0,.
the last result makes it a bad season IMHO

TNBA

TTF

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

As the transfer window is still open, I might as well set the bar high and expect us to do as Bournemouth did last year, and finish top.

For this expectation to be met, decent signings need to be made - we shall see.

 

[KNC]

No expectations, whatsoever. Wondering why i renewed. More barber bullshit expected. More licking. Out of love. (except Calde- obviously)

 

[studio150]

Each striker scores at least 5 league goals by Boxing Day.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Very low after the last few transfer windows and the unambitious style of our manager. At least I can't be disappointed this season only pleasantly surprised.

 

[GT49er]

A solid improvement on last season! Maybe nothing very exciting - we've nowhere near a top six team at the moment, so perhaps mid-table.

With a few green shoots of recovery showing through..........

 

[Rookie]

Expectations are low, be pleasantly surprised with mid table. Have a fear that the identity built up by Poyet and continued by Oscar will disappear (if it hasn't already)

 

[Geestar]

Top of the table

 

[Ernest]

As long as Barber runs things expectations are in the gutter, bottom 6 and a half empty AMEX by December UNLESS that DULLARD Hughton is sacked and we splash out on some players and a manager who can excite and entertain us

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Respectably mid-table, the first of a minimum of three seasons of progressive rebuilding to eventually mount a meaningful promotion challenge. Going to be a long old haul to the land of milk and honey.Had our chance, muffed it.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Butterfly beak pies and for the Stuart Storer moustache seeds i'd planted to come into fruition, warmly wrapping the north stand goal with their thick, hope-infected bristles. Oh, and a first "you're a dirty gay" on-field footballer arrest.

 

[dazzer6666]

majority non-football related threads until end of July, and until then: bedwetting over lack of number and/or quality of signings; 5 "fixtures" threads on day of fixtures, complaints about Boxing day travel; numerous threads linking us to half a dozen completely unrealistic Premier League players; a surprise signing well known player to get everyones hopes up, except those saying they are too old/injury prone/crap because of performance in 2010.

This.

What is everyone's favourite sandwich ?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

If you all backed unders (2.5) goals every game, especially away, then you're expectations will be met more often than the bookies, and that can't be bad

 

[Surf's Up]

Expectations for the Albion this coming season.

Low.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

were regulated

 

[W.C.]

No idea. Hughton has got out of this division before but with a strong squad, which we don't have right now. That dip of form really worried me towards the end of last season after the promising start he had.
Hopefully we'll have a good transfer window.

 

[Brighton Mod]

I feel we are in for much of the same next season, same board, same limitations on money for new players, a belief that we can achieve top six with loan players along with the same old trite mantra that we have a squad capable of achieving a top six place. The same manager that presided over a nine hour stretch without a goal, who played with one up front, exclusively and had a midfield that struggled to score or create many chances.
There has to be a radical sea change at the club and I don't see it, more anguish, tears, rantage and loses I fear.

 

[Dolph Ins]

Loose the play off final and go up as champions next season. Same as every season!

 

[supaseagull]

As we stand with the players we are rumoured to he signing- we are well and truly ****ed.

Last years team which will be (going by the rumours) also smattered with untested Lower league players or players too old or injury prone to be effective.

Yep - league 1 here we come!
