My thoughts exactly. I understand people will come back with 'we pay, so we can moan' jibes, but booing OUR players at half time will do anything BUT good. We need to get behind the team, not get on their backs. On the other hand, this isn't an excuse post, we were terrible today, and deserves criticism. But jeers at half time? no.

I think Gus made too much of the issue at half time and during the post match interview. Of course the booing is disappointing but it was a minority of idiotic fans that don't need the attention. Why not focus on accepting we weren't at our best today and the reasons for that. My worry is what happens next season when we are at Falmer with even more fickle fans booing because we don't win each week or when he does move to a 'bigger club' who expect to win each week.

Having said that - he doesn't have a problem with booing AFTER the game and I would imagine actively encourages it
In his interview this evening on Seagulls World. He said he will only accept booing if deserved at the end of the last game of the season.

Offended by a bit of booing? Blimey. I heard some of the most malicious, vile chanting I've ever heard at Charlton towards the Barnet manager, Mark Stimson in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago, right in front of women and children too. It shocked even me and fans were rowing with each other most of the night.
I was in H block today and enjoyed most of the match but I'm used to watching far worse than that at Barnet.

Well I was going to go but if Gus can't be bothered then neither can I.

Poyet needs to grow a thicker skin. He will get grief when things go badly whether he's in charge of a League 1, or a Premier League side.
He has gambled on playing a weakened side in the FAC, and it has backfired -twice. He cant deflect the blame for that onto the fans.

Then............just guessing,like,.........we get a new manager.
Possibly one who doesn't say how great the FA cup is,then put out a team which wouldn't have a chance in the sweet f.a. cup.

to be fair as soon as I read it I was expecting a thread like this and a thread backing Gus to the hilt
I didn't boo , but not surprised - since the Woking home game we've looked poor and the style of play we mastered at the start looks a distant memory
we have players scared to shoot , half attempted passing and nothing major down the flanks. a mere lightyear away from what we were capable of a month ago !!
that said I'm still fully aboard the Gus bus , although I'm now back to the paranoid state I was for the start of the season

Poyet has been a revelation since he arrived but he has shown naiveness in the cups this season.
Naiveness in team selection and tactics against non league opposition.
We were woefull in front of goal today. They were there for taking and we should have been much more direct against them rather than playing triangles in our own half.
I totaly agree with Gus and not wanting to play 50/50 football but against the likes of Woking and FC United it would be more like 70/30.
Not sure what reaction they were expecting after a 1-1 draw against a bunch of amateurs following on from a poor 1st round performance.
Gus you are doing a great job but you have to take the flack as well as the admiration and thinly veiled threats are going to do you no good.

My Hair is like his hair
Look at it this way ..if Gus was a top chef and he served up a batch of cold peas some customers would send the whole meal back while others would just enjoy the meal served up.......would gus the chef berate the customers who complained and tell them not bother coming to his restaurant again? He would be a fool if he bit the hand that feeds him*

People who pay to watch a football match go to it knowing that it may not be the greatest spectacle on earth but hope that their team will win. Anyone who goes expecting a win is an idiot. Generally players will always try their hardest and yes they do have off days like most of us do in our daily job. I can never recall booing my team Brighton and Hove Albion because I love them come rain or shine and through thick and thin.
Football has changed and the gap between good and average has narrowed and most sides outside, and sometimes inside, the premiership will struggle against lower opposition for a number of reasons not least of all the lower league teams desire to prove themselves.
We are riding higher in the league than probably anyone had hoped for and we have a manager who has introduced a structure, team ethics, tactics etc that will hold us in good stead in the coming years. It's time the moaners sat back and took a look at the progress this football club has made under the stewardship of the current management team and enjoyed the current situation we find ourselves in and the future before us.

The club is bigger than Poyet.
Better managers than Poyet have left & the club has survived. He is not the best thing to have happened to the Albion & if he can't take the heat from a few hundred disgruntled fans then his tenure here will not be long term.

But that probably won't endear them to Gus.
