Sorry so what you are saying is that under Poyet we achieved, did we get to the PL then?

Promotion to the Championship and fourth place? Yes, I'd call that achievement.

 

[Stat Brother]

Promotion to the Championship and fourth place? Yes, I'd call that achievement.

With a team built on a solid defense, no consistent and creditable pace & poor goal shy strikers, supplemented by even poorer loanees.

Thank god lessons have been learned and improvements have been implemented...




...oh wait.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Guinness?

Obviously

It's shit like this that makes me more and more annoyed at the club LICKERS on this board.

SB is absolutely bang on the money with this one.

 

[symyjym]

If you pay the money then you attract the best players if you try and do everything on the CHEAP then expect the WORST

That's not strictly true. Players can also be attracted by the style and brand of football the manager promotes, and Eddie Howe's Bournemouth is a good example without spending the mega bucks of QPR. Our problem at the moment is we don't have a recognisable style or brand of football yet.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

So name the quality players that are available and affordable

Hopefully we have a scouting team that are dealing with that...

Best place to be after reading some of the comments on here.

They don't although I'm not sure not having enough players of the required quality is anything but a major worry. We are dragging our feet again having been told we were working on doing business early this year. Still the club have their 20 k season tickets so all's well.

Did you guys who are having a moan about today go to a different game to CH, he has expressed himself quite pleased except he would have liked a goal.

Must have done. Seriously, until the kids came on for the last 20, the desire was lacking, there was absolutely nothing in terms of fluid passing and the movement was lacking. I really believe Hughton deserves a run as manager, and the second string or not, a Brighton team (second string or not), needs to show a lot more.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I remember a couple of years ago we beat Chelsea 3-1 in a preseason friendly. They seemed to have quite a good season even though they lost to us. Preseason games mean nothing and are no indicator of the season ahead. We need to be patient and wait and see how they do against Forest. And even that game won't mean that much, the first month in the championship is always unpredictable - that said we were rubbish at the start of last season and nothing changed - but give a team a chance. I'm sure we'll get more signings yet anyway. Looking forward to the season

Think you'll find we made the play-off's and they didn't do as well as hoped sacking Di-Matteo, so I disagree, they can be a pointer for the season ahead.

Under Hyypia we were shocking vs Soton and it didn't improve!

 

[TSB]

And I thought people said 4-4-2 was the cure to the problems and goals would flow

We're gonna get torn apart next season

We won't but won't score the goals required to make it an interesting season

Yet the excuses about how tough everything is will no doubt be trotted out again as we underachieve due to the club being unable to sell itself to ambitious players. We are spending more than ever whilst failing to attract quality players too apparently.

Sidenote: All of The Viper's pre-season rants were very amusing.

To be fair Boro did tear us apart

Rookie's an odd one. Always used to value his input, generally spoke a lot of sense, but for whatever reason really seemed quite opposed to 4-4-2/Hughton and appears to have just completely stopped posting this season.

Yup.
Maybe he lost the passion.
