[Albion] If we lose v Manchester City on Saturday

[the right footed denilson]

Same as Liverpool. Under thing about 4 conceded and I'd be sleeping soundly.

I think we should burst out of the traps and give it everything we've got. I think Mr Hooton should just say "go out there, enjoy your football, play the way YOU want to play and whilst doing so don't forget to kick the crap out of them when the ref isn't looking.."

That will pickle the brain of Lord Peppington of Guardeville who expected our team to line up with trowels and bags of cement, building a wall nine inches in front of our Kangakeeper - and may slow down the "Roadrunner" pace of Citeh.

I also think when they visit the Amex we should let the grass grow to a height of 5.7 inches. That way, Sterling won't be able to see any of the game.

Neither will Maty.

As long as we don’t concede too many I’ll be happy.[/QUOTE


Really? That is what you expect from our time in this division, not to concede too many?

What is the point in being in this division if we don't think we can win every game we play in? That should be the base line.

Against spuds yesterday the first half, we let them slot into their game by just playing the one up front and signalled that we would pack the midfielder and let them come at us. That really paid off didn't it...irrespective how many chances we missed ...the scoresheet showed that we lost all three points.

I am not worried yet, but apart from manu in the first half, I have not been over impressed by our football this season.

I hope to be wrong in my assumption that the three teams that will drop out are Huddersfield, Newcastle and us.

You're kind of right, that we should try and win every game we play - but Man City away is the one game this season I won't bother watching

Just testing the water, so I know whether to venture onto NSC come 5pm next week..

I generally avoid NSC the evening after a match as there are too many people on here who either want Hughton knighted or sacked depending on the result. Been the same for years now.

 

[Razzoo]

They might be tired after a tough midweek fixture and there for the taking. Edit They have Oxford away in the league cup

 

[Return of the Rev]

We need a ‘scapegoat sweepstake’ started.

[Brian Parsons]

What do you mean "if ".

We don't stand a chance being realistic, so play all the new players and see what they can do.

 

[Arvin]

No complaints about a loss. Complaints about how it came about

If Brighton park the bus and try to sustain attack after attack, they WILL be broken down and the game will be quickly disposed of. It won't be entertaining for anybody, and it won't be the least bit admirable. City are used to smaller sides doing this to them, and just a glance at their goal differential last season will tell you their outcomes.

If Brighton show some fearlessness, try to get into the City players heads and make them all look like they're having an off day--but still lose in the process, i won't mind the least bit. In fact, i'll be happy. Even if it means losing 3-1, 4-1

Have you not seen CARDIFF at all?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It's a gentle free hit and I'm expecting nul points, so the meltdown is locked in storage in case we lose against West Ham.

 

[Albion my Albion]

As of Monday morning at 7:00 a.m. you other 3 need to find another answer.

 

[Icy Gull]

I will be happy that our next few games won’t be against the top six

Definitely. It’s like witching hour. Always best sleeping on it and allowing a rational calmness to descend.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Will almost certainly get done next week, the bigger games for us are coming up.

If we're staying up, games like West Ham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Huddersfield, Burnley and alike need to yield significant point returns.

Otherwise.......some folks might start getting edgy.

City, a day out.

Of course we COULD win it or get a point. The game plan will be to keep it tight and try to either get a 0-0 or sneak a goal on the break or from a set piece. But all the teams in the second division of the Premier League do that and City are used to it. Anyone expecting it to happen needs their bumps felt.

And, yes, there are two distinct divisions within the league and anything gained from the top six is a bonus. However, recent home wins against Man U & Arsenal show it can be done - but it should never be expected.

Cardiff are far worse than us. Pick up points against the teams around us and we’ll be fine. Yes, that is the current limit of our ambition and ability.

I'd use the game against Man City to make some changes to the side.

Balogun for Dunk
Berndado for Bong
AJ for March
Locadia for Bissouma

And then play 4-4-2

LOL LOL LOL - 4 - 4 - 2 Away to Man City (The best team in the league who are battering teams for fun) with Chris in charge - Your havin a laugh

Geez a pint of what you've been on !

 

[el punal]

If we have basically the same team that stared against spuds, I would be fecking furious.

Would you still be fecking furious if we started with the same team that played spuds and won?

I would be over the moon,

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

3 goals or less in a defeat would be a good result.
Go with Andone up top to give ourselves a different option and have Muzza in the bench to give him a rest and refreshed for the games after this
