Let's just say we're not a top 6 side.

[smudge]

So what? Staying in the Championship is ok by me. Eventually we will get a decent side together to maybe make a push again, but until then, I'm quite happy with the league we're in.

We were spoilt for a couple of years & had a great team that played some of the best football I've seen from the Albion. It's ups & downs though, so I'm sort of resigning myself that this year may not be a vintage one. It may even be a fair while till we see anything similar, who knows?

Managing my expectations reduces my Albion stress levels! My prediction this season; gloomy outlook with the odd bright spell.

I agree but these are not the noises put out by the club. PLR and all that...

Sensible outlook. Although, at the beginning of last season I felt the same way, and we managed the play offs.

Who knows?? I just hope Sami isn't a total flop.

The other issue is if we are struggling to compete with 23,000 STH paying the most in the division how will it work when we are down to 17 / 18k in a couple of years.

It's are really difficult balancing act for Bloom et al. Rather them than me.

 

[Icy Gull]

Just entertain me, that is all I ask. Win some, lose some, draw some, score some good goals, have a decent shots per game tally and try not to get relegated. That'll do for me.

There were times over the last two seasons where I nearly fell asleep we were so dull, so I'll take a 4-5 or a 5-4 rather than a 1-0 or a 0-1.

 

[essbee]

I'm sorry - but I go to watch the Albion with hope that we may do something in this league.
If we try and fail I don't mind - but we have to try at least.

 

[Surf's Up]

Lets just say that at this stage of a season not yet begun we haven't got a clue whether, come May 2015, we'll be a to 6 side or not!!!

If you're going to use nautical lingo Das, it's batten down the hatches...me hearty!

 

[carteater]

Oh my god shut up we all know this, bitching about it isn't going to change the facts because we all know....

 

[Ernest]

Can't see us retaining 20k season ticket holders if we finish well down the table without threatening the Top 6, no matter how nice the stadium if the team is no good then wave goodbye to the fickle thousands

Don't worry, we'll make the money bar on the Harveys!

 

[Steve Foster]

Could be an interesting season for the Score Predictor!
Most fans predict an Albion win every game

 

[London Irish]

Don't worry, we'll make the money bar on the Harveys!

I sense we're all going to need to be a lot drunker this season

 

[Dan Aitch]

We're currently 7th so I guess you're right.

It might be a 'hip flask' season..

 

[brightonmark1234]

i said at the start of last season we would finish mid table and we finished in the play offs and i am saying the same about this season

 

[Bob!]

You were wrong last Season though!

 

[BensGrandad]

Every season I think we will get promoted so I will be right again 1 year hopefully this, lets wait to see who we sign before?doom and gloom and relegation threatens.
