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

[Cowfold Seagull]

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

This.

It was an absolutely dire performance and result, but we will quickly bounce back. We haven't become a bad team overnight.

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.

If we ever won a cup we would be back in Europe

was always very unlikely after who we sold etc

More than happy with where we are at . Tonight shit but bounce back Saturday v scum

Have extra beers Saturday . The players need us to step up !

The players need to step up last night was a disgrace.

 

[Simster]

You think that after one result, ONE!

One? It's now 17 points from our last 16 games. He's hardly being knee jerk or controversial.

Whether it's injuries or our best players being sold, we are not as good as we were, but 16 games is not a blip.

If palace keep olise and eze fit they could easily
finish above us. That's my insurance bet out the way.

Yep, fully agree with the view from the Garden Office.

Albion v23/24 is a completely different beast to Albion v22/23, for various and obvious reasons; but for people to keep saying, “just a bad day at the office” is ignoring the fact that we are about 60% of the team we were last season.

Oh, and the FA Cup? So far we’ve beaten Stoke and Sheffield Utd. I doubt many open-top bus companies in Sussex have received any tentative bookings just yet.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

I've come to terms with it.

Have you?

I'm almost certain you said something similar last season just before your epic flounce?

You were wrong then, you might just be wrong now. Throw enough shit around and all that...

Yeah, fair enough.

15 points from our first six games, lets say it all comes together when the silky players are fit again and we get 15 points from our last six games, with a point a game from the 26 in between like we're currently rolling with, that's 56 points. Got 62 last year, 56 would have got 9th/10th.

Sounds about right. The cup runs are what its about.

(not long ago we were poring over trackers to get 40 points. we can live with this)

Overachieved by miles last season, qualifying again this season would be a fantastic achievement. I don’t need to ‘come to terms’ with not qualifying if it doesn’t happen, because in my mind we don’t have an entitlement to do so.

If we get into Europe occasionally we’re punching way above our weight.

Quite. If it felt like this was our only opportunity with this squad, it would probably be more frustrating. But its really just the beginning with this bunch, and the recruitment of talented youngsters continues a pace. Its hard to see future seasons without us challenging at all.

Too soon?

 

[um bongo molongo]

I think the Top 5 will be the top 5. But beyond that it’s anyone’s
