B+
Top ten finish, two Premiership scalps, signings a mixed bag.
+ Finished 10th
+ Enjoyable cup runs & beating Premiership opposition
+ Played great football all season & stuck to our ethics
+ Got even more out of our league one players
+ Not a single bad signing
+ Vicente
- Some poor team selections
- Failed to seal the play offs when it was in our hands
- Occasionally poor media handling
- Failed to get the most out of CMS
I make that a B+
Solid B from me. Weird selections (IMO) some games. Kaz not used at much as i would have liked. Vicente was a master-stroke but was it all smoke and mirrors as we seemed to lose form when he was playing full-time. Never seemed to have a Plan B but having said that nor have Barcelona, but they are slightly better than us.
If you compared Gus with say Brian McDermott, Gus is more of a loose cannon and does put his foot in it from time to time, BM gets on with the job and acknowledges other teams merits/position achievements, Gus seems to be more ambitious for himself before the club. Only my opinion Gus is a brilliant manager and i love him here but sometimes i wonder if he feels the same way about this club as say BM does Reading and he thinks he has a divine right to manage at a higher level.
His P.R needs work IMO
Spot on with all that matey but i would just add he would only get a C+ from me as just 2 points above mid table average spend and a zero goal difference = Average to me.
What i would say is that i would give TB and MP an A+ for giving us a great home and therefore making sure we had a nailed on good home record in our first season at the AMEX.
Awaits flaming...................but you know i'm right.

Where as Wilkins would have got an A+?
How quickly we forget.
A- from me. Raising Brightons profile and giving us a team that can compete. Slight minus point for not using Kaz enough.

Did you take into account it's the first season in the Championship after promotion? If similar position next season I may agree with it, not that marks from any of us actually matter of course. Carry on.
