[Albion] The Chelsea wins.....and reactions to them.

[Zeberdi]

That was utterly brilliant.

For us absolutely- we ALL needed that - (and against Chelsea too!) - the fans, the squad and the manager.

It wasn't ‘utterly brilliant’ football though despite the win -a poor first half against a pedestrian side - good second half but we are still vulnerable in transition and our tempo and communication is off at times. Many areas improved though from that awful performance against Forest.

I tend to take the wins and losses in my stride tbh without getting to excited or too depressed or thinking back or forward too much. The process is never linear.

I have maintained all season that this season will be about breaking in a young manager with young players - so not expected anything other than a midtable finish but so good to see players like Hinsh, Rutter and Minteh becoming significant players in Hürzeler’s starting eleven.

Definitely - it was a very welcome win tonight - it was needed to silence some of the ground swell building in the NSC fan base against Hürzeler but I doubt the first half performance and conceding a needless own goal has silenced everyone.

More F*** off calling fellow supporters 'bedwetters'. Just a shit way of having nothing better to say.

 

[Driver8]

Palace in the last 16 . It’s coming

Forest away.

I don’t see what is wrong with people being upset losing 7-0. Going on social media and having go directly at players, manager or the club is a big no no, but being unhappy and having a rant to yourself is ok. Does not mean you can’t enjoy tonight.

 

[Deadly Danson]

It's funny - certain posters had posted about 50 times just an hour after last week's loss and haven't stopped all week with their relentless negativity. Seems a lot quieter from those posters tonight - almost as though they prefer it when we lose....

In Diiiixons

Can you write the same thread when we fail to beat Southampton in a couple of weeks please.

This 'bedwetters' phrase makes no sense and is as embarrassing for the people who use it as it is to the overreactions to getting thrashed by Forest.

Be a bit weird if people who wanted him out changed their entire thought process based on this one result.

I personally have been utterly unconvinced by Hurzeler all season and remain that way.

Bloody glad we’re through but that one game doesn’t change anything for me

 

[Iggle Piggle]

He can say 'trust the process' as many times as he likes - his team has just beaten Chelsea and responded in the perfect way to last week.

Maybe trusting the process actually works?

We will see. The team responded perfectly from last week, tonight was thoroughly enjoyable and some. Me and my lad haven't missed many this season but that was one of them. We would have loved to have been there.

Tonight was our cup final. Arguably it was Fabs.Not sure it was for Chelsea or Enzo. I suspect next Friday will be more difficult. Let's hope I'm wrong.

 

[Bodian]

Tonight was our cup final.

We won. So, is the next round our 'Super-Cup Final'?

We don't know the opposition or date yet but it will be on the weekend of the 29th March

 

[AZ Gull]

We beat Chelsea in the cup for the first time ever.
...

Why are people saying that? It was tweeted out as well:-



We beat Chelsea in the FA Cup in 1933.

 

[A1X]

Incredible.

A week ago this club was the worst run club in all of Europe. We were adrift and heading squarely for the Championship, our recruitment was shite and every player we’d signed in the last 18 months was barely better than a pub player. We had a PE teacher as a manager who couldn’t command the respect of his own houseplants.

What a turnaround in a week, eh?

 

[Deadly Danson]

We don't know the opposition or date yet but it will be on the weekend of the 29th March

Have we got a bye into the quarters? Great. (next round is 1st March weekend)

 

[Hugo Rune]

Unlike some clubs we know it's not always wise to sack a manager after one shocking result

Or take the stinking pile of cash for Mitoma.

Yes, but that was before Sky invented the Premier League, so it doesn't count. Right?

Whoops

I'm not sure it was. I don't think defeat would've changed much with the hierarchy because they 'trust the process'. There are going to be ups and downs with this manager and young squad, all of whom are learning. I'm happy to stick with the current setup and not get too high or too low.
