Christ almighty, haven't really been on NSC much for a month or so but I can't believe the negativity of some people on here. We are still 10th in the league at the start of this game and whilst we don't sound good tonight, a win will take us up to 7th in the league! I think some people just have ridiculous expectations for this season and actually think we SHOULD be challenging for promotion this season. I think we have some quality players and if we do have a good season we have the potential to finish in the top six but seriously, people seem to think that our current position isn't good enough!

If anyone doesn't think that a mid-table finish would be a great result on what is a work in progress under Gus Poyet, you need your head checking!

Good post that man

Why does Salaoko (excuse spelling ) always look like a ten year old dressed in adult clothing?

 

[Uncle C]

There's more to it than meets the eye,,,,,don't get me wrong I am firmly in Gus's camp. But that does not mean he is above any sort of reproach. It's not only most the player's who have not a lot of experence at this level. Neither has Poyet, but don't anyone dare say it ffs.

Why not save your depressing comments till after the game, or are you not a supporter?

Exactly fella
Pre gus we would be 3/4 down tonight. 0-0 at half time is NOT bad. I wish some fans would have more faith in the overall plan for our club rather than overnight success.

How many subs have we actually used?

 

[sjamesb3466]

another sensible post

Apologies, I will revert to form very soon!

Where is the cat btw? We need her support to spur us on!

Drawing with an established Championship team, away from home, whilst on a winless Run, missing half a team through injury.

Yeah, what a CRISIS of a match.

F**king idiots, some people.

One.

 

[Rugrat]

I am firmly in Gus's camp.

So am I as long as we can get some results. I'm a B&HA supporter and will be so a long time after Gus has gone ... so we're 10th or could be 7th or whatever, but surely we should be putting teams like this away

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

9 shots for Watford to our 2. Very very poor. I am gonna stick my neck out, we have absolutely no chance of 3 points tonight. Taricco on for Bridcutt, totally bizarre decsion

Painter might be carrying a knock from early in the 1st half , Bridders would have been the sacrificial Pawn with Tanno coming on as a Rook.

one

 

[kevtherev]

Some people like conspiracy theories

and some people are blind to the obvious. Are we so good in defence that we can "rest" a player who is being touted by top clubs and just been called up on stand by for the under 21's

Glad your here Matt. I'm begining to think I'm on my own!!

Gus will give a brilliant team talk and we'll see how we react. I think we'll need a Harley freekick to break the deadlock.

 

[bardo]

How many subs have we actually used?

One, I believe, and despite all the Brighton injuries it seems the substitution was for "tactical" reasons not for an injury

Uncle C, people on NSC can say what they want, but by being on here, during a game, we are not supporting the team. We're just following a match. Negative comments on here, during a game, have absolutely no effect on the teams performance. Poyet is hardly likely to be shouting out quotes during the game (although the way he is behaving at the moment...). I've never said anything negative about the Albion whilst at a game, but i'm entitled to say what i want here.
And, whilst i'm at it, negative comments after the game are far more detrimental. This thread gets lost down the page but moaners after the game have a presence for hours and days.

Have you ever tried listening to yourself?

That BBC BREAKfast presenter THEY're playing A CLIP from on PLAYer has a BLOODY weird WAY of SPEAKing.
