Hang on... at full time, there weren't even thousands of people booing. There was some booing, it would've been a hell of a lot louder if it was thousands. The atmosphere was not negative really, in the first half it was ok (for Withdean) because the performance was. In the second half it wasn't so much but it wasn't exactly negative, people weren't on the team's back. Even if they were the fact is that it is not the crowd who are responsible for the team's performances. To suggest we are 4 points from the relegation zone because of the crowd is blatant and complete nonsense.: Name me one better available manager? Maybe it's our thousands of negative booing fans, creating no form of atmosphere or encouragment for the players.
Bill Archer, David Bellend and Greg Stanley come to mind for leaving us playing in a shithole athletics track

Adams = Zamora 83 goals in 136 games = Promotion. Adams never got us promoted ! Zamora did .

Yeah and why didn't they make any changes in midfield today?
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
What was the club's last annual operating loss then?

What a ridiculous statement. What they did robbed us of valuable money which could be being spent on players and not repaying legal costs. The size of the crowd is pure guesswork as to whether it would have been better or not nobody does or can know but we do knoew we do not have the money to strengthen as we would wish.
With money we may well have been able to stay in the Championship last time and by now could be nearing the top of the Championship. Unfortunately that is an unknown that we will never know but we can still blame them with some confidence.

I can't work out how we finished Seventh last season, to a team who look like we're going totally backwards and heading towards a relegation scrap. The longer this continues, the longer MA has to go!

O Lads says PATIENCE -- Its approximately 11 years that Knight became Chairman and we are now in the relegation area of DIV 1.
Its not Adams or any other recent manager, including Wilkins who we can completely blame,they all had the same handicap,lack of cash from a board limited in not only cash but ideas.
Nothing is going to change whilst the same bunch remain in charge, and they will because so many supporters constantly state, its early things will improve,Im sure we will make the play offs,stop moaning!!!!!!!.This only encourages them not to go out and find people with unlimited finances,even QPR face a very bright future,Peterborough also are on the up.
This action should have been taken when we were in the Championship, it will be more difficult in our present position but it is the only hope we have.

Yes and in that 11 years, we are still further ahead than we were when Knight took over. Oh, and by the way, in case you weren't paying attention, we have planning permission for a new stadium too. Good isn't it?
And how the f*** do you know that they aren't out searching for investors every single day? You make it sound like they don't want to the club to be successful. Why do you think Knight is so trigger happy with the managers, because he wants success!! But he's human, and he has made mistakes like everybody else does. I personally don't think bringing back Adams was a mistake, and I think it time that will be proved, but my god, get some sense of perspective.
Are you also blaming Thatcher for the credit crunch?

Funny how Wilkins is having the last laugh. That 7th place (nearest the table's ever come to lying) is being used as a stick to beat Adams with. We'll never know for sure, but it's a fairly safe bet that we wouldn't have finished on anything like the same number of points this season under Wilkins as we did last season.
Why? Because you say so?
Personally I think we'd be having another season hovering around 6th or 7th place, with a settled side and players mostly playing in their correct positions and with a far smaller playing budget.
But I wouldn't be arrogant enough to suggest it was "a safe bet".

What he said.
My slight nervousness is that after around 15 games, the goal difference tends to be a pretty good indicator of a how a team is doing and where their "real" place in the table should be.
We're about where our goal differences suggests we should be. I thought we were unlucky on Saturday, but it's time to get a grip.
