[Albion] We won't be qualifying for Europe again this season

[Vicar!]

We gave up on that with our summer transfer dealings.

 

[tigertim68]

Playing in Europe for a club our size seems to affect league performances for obvious reasons.
Performances against bottom 6 sides may improve without this distraction next season.
12th and one of the Cups still available will be fine for me.

What has today’s match got to do with playing in Europe

 

[tigertim68]

We have been short of a defensive midfielder all season , plus 2 fullbacks ,
we have not replaced the players we have lost in the last year

 

[Doonhamer7]

might not through league but I’m still confident we’ll win Europa League (beating Liverpool on penalties in Klipty Klopps last game, Solly March scoring winning penalty). Then we’re in the big boys European Football nexi season

 

[HeaviestTed]

I've come to terms with it.

Have you?

No more Marseille broom man?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Qualifying in the league is looking distinctly unlikely.

We really needed to get a couple of loans in, to cover our winger situation, whilst we still have some winnable games.
We have looked really toothless in the league for a while ( unless we play a team as kamikaze as us).

There are still two other routes into Europe and hopefully we can take one of them.

 

[saafend_seagull]

EErrr have you looked at the table, still every chance, particularly with injuries coming back.

None of them are back until sheffield United so lose v palace and spurs and league is over.

I’d say loans are almost pointless in the short term. By the time they’ve learned the De Zerbi way to play, the established players should be back.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Tbh I didn't think we would anyway before the injuries and everything else. That one sticks in the craw today, but ultimately, 10th-14th and a couple of good cup runs would be decent going.

Maybe - but we still have 5 winnable games before those players are likely to be back to full fitness.
I would say it was worth rolling the dice.

We haven’t qualified for Europe for 47 out of the 48 seasons I’ve been going so another one won’t fuckin kill me

Quite.

And I think, in all due respect, anyone that expects us to finish in top 6 this season is a little bit delusional.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Our group, whilst basking in the result at the Amsterdam arena, all agreed that it might be as good as it ever gets. I think that might prove to be the case, and I’m absolutely fine with that.

Loser mentality. And Ajax are absolutely pitiful this season, that was like beating a championship team.

We will be back.... once the injured players are back

I hope you're right, but fear you might not be. 17 points from 16 games suggests we are actually quite mediocre and have been for three months. And literally around half the league has had injury problems comparable to ours.

If we sell more than one of our best players this summer I will probably agree.

It’s not really loser mentality to think that doing something we’ve not done in the previous 120-odd years of existence might not easily happen again.

 

[mile oak]

Have some fans forgotten we could win a trophy this season and qualify? We remain in Europe AND the FA Cup

 

[Baldseagull]

Not expecting it, but we have 3 separate routes to get to be playing European Football next season, I am still hopeful.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I've come to terms with it.

Have you?

You think that after one result, ONE!
