Flew in to Birmingham after a family visit to Amsterdam. Landed 7.15pm. Ran to the airport car park then blitzed it up the M6 and parked to get to the ground just after the third goal went in. f***...f***....f***.

I know we've had injury problems and suspensions, but I feel that we have too many loan players in the squad at the moment. As soon as our own players are fit we should send them back, we need to have continuity within the team. I know weve had some good loanees in the past, but some have been here for the wrong reasons imo. If they can't make it in there own teams are they playing for us hoping to get back to their own clubs after putting in a good performance. I just don't see the point in playing 5 loan players all at once when we have our own players coming back. We need players like Gary Hart and even although I hate to say it Kerry Mayo who will give everything for the club, they can't be any worse than what we've got. It's time for the Manager to start playing players who put in good performaces and dropping the ones that don't. I say give our boys a chance and let the loanees sit on the bench or go back to where you came from.:annoyed:

This mess started a few games into the season. Adams brought in mumerous players to play midfield or he would shoehorn players into positions i.e Virgo RB or RW. We have never had a team. On paper we had a decent squad, but not a team.

That was down to Adams. Yes, the players have by and large let us down, but Adams is very much to blame for this.

Next season, whereever we are, we need a settled side, with players playing in the normal positions. Plus, we really need to sort out our midfield.

Finance wise, playing in league 2 wont be so bad. Certainly season tickets will be down, but if we can start winning games at home and have a good season, then fans will come back to Withdean. Strangely enough finance might actually goes up

It was awful last night but there was one ray of hope. They certainly came out better at the start of the 2nd half which at least shows that Slade gave them a rocket and I expect to see better at Scunthorpe.

Walsall were fired up - They wanted to reverse thier 5-0 on Sat. We on the other hand thought we had won before we started.
 


i hope the board and fans have can find even more cash to keep us away from administration.

Come on Slade in for a Penny.

Why on earth would we even get anywhere near going into administration? Clubs that go into administration do so by bad financial management, not playing crap football.

Even if we go down I would be 100% sure we would not go into administration. The Albion are one of the best run clubs financially in the whole of football - they have to be, otherwise we would have gone bust years ago.

Paying above the odds for players and putting them on stupid contracts is what puts a club into administration. Even if we go down we won't do that, even though some on here will no doubt say we should spend above our means.

The only reason we looked better in the second half was because Wallsall sat back job done. I really hope they are better at Scunthorpe

I totally agreed in the first half of the season with the silly one month loans but let's be honest the ire at the moment is not targetting Heath, Bangura and Owusu... it does seem its the long -term players who are letting us down.

Maybe but under Adams we had a habit of coming out worse. I did see a difference that the manager made which hasn't been the case at others games I've seen.

I have a funny feeling we will get something at Scunny.
