[Albion] So how do we survive next season?

[Cheshire Cat]

Now that is all over, how do we avoid a car crash next season.

We can't rely on three teams being an even greater stench in this league every year, nor all the promoted sides from the Championship being routine cannon fodder for everyone-else.

So how do we get out of jail next year, and who will be even worse than us?

 

[Beach Hut]

Good question, if we are to change how we play the manager has to be replaced, if that is the case the decision should have already been made.

 

[LowKarate]

Score as many goals as we can.

 

[Skaville]

1. Trust the defence to defend
2. Give the midfield a licence to get forward
3. Have a go sometimes rather than set out with damage limitation in mind
4. Sign a striker, a right back, a defensive midfielder and a left winger
5. Replace Hughton if he can’t commit to points 1-3

5. Replace Hughton if he can’t commit to points 1-3

So in other words you want Hughton out.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Score as many goals as we can.

Especially score more than our opponents on a regular basis.

 

[Albion Dan]

We need AT LEAST five new players who are better than what we currently have in the positions they will be coming in. Two strikers, two centre mids, right back. I'd also argue a better winger. Without that reckon we'll be praying there are 3 worse again and not sure we'll get so lucky.

 

[banjo]

Get some of City’s players on the cheap.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Buy some cheap foreign imports that nobody has heard of and set them alight on the PL then sell them for Zillions, making us right to buy by a multi Zillionaire, we then bring in the best players from all over the world, thrash Manchester City and Liverpool, win the Champions League and then go on to lift the World Cup.

 

[Kitcatt]

Play like we did in the first half hour today (and for the 90 mins at Arsenal last week) and we’ll be fine. All in the tactics. We have the players (on the whole), just need to approach the games in the right way/frame of mind

 

[moggy]

First stop in the transfer market is two pacey midfielders who can get up and support the striker/strikers

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The same as we did this season. Win some games, draw some and try our best. We didn't survive because there were three teams worse than us, we survived because we won more points than them, despite injuries to key players, some terrible ref decisions, and being pragmatic where we had to be pragmatic.
Hopefully we can sign a few good players to boost our squad.

 

[tigertim68]

How about going into matches trying to win the match as opposed to trying not to lose

 

[Albion Dan]

We have the players (on the whole),

We definitely dont. Far far too many players that are too slow or take too long on the ball.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So in other words you want Hughton out.

If the (new) new singings don't get game time and it is same old approach, horse shoe formation even against the lesser sides, like for like subs at 64 minutes, and a points return worse than this season by late September, then he will be out.

Probably.

Shirley?

 

[Justice]

Stop making stupid mistakes they have killed us so many times this season. Get the basics right and we will be ok.

How do we get the current players out of the rot that has set in?

3. Have a go sometimes rather than set out with damage limitation in mind
4. Sign a striker, a right back, a defensive midfielder and a left winger
5. Replace Hughton if he can’t commit to points 1-3

All of the above plus an AM.

And Eurovision. Don't forget Eurovision.
