Well done to Gus...........

[Northstander]

How has he fallen out with Forster, in effect he is telling the club I am not discussing contracts until I know where we will be as a club next season....common sense in my opinion.

Im happy to be corrected but I believe (and again I may be wrong), some players are not happy with this?

 

[fleet]

Yeah i am backing Gus! I am sure this is all part of his master plan! There is no way he could let the likes Tunnicliffe and Dickinson go out on loan without decent replacements planned... we will have another striker in before the Leeds game, 100%..............

99% or near offer

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Well I have to say you are all more optimistic than me. I do not think there is a plan, I do not think there is any money, I will be surprised if there is a striker of any proven ability that signs for the club and achieves. I feel that we are like a ship without a rudder. In a dozen games or so we will be points adrift at the bottom.

Gus' managerial inexperience has brought the Forster situation to a point where it is neither benefiting the striker or the football club. It is in his hands to solve and he must do this and quickly. He may have the moral high ground but he needs to be realistic and act in the best interests of the football club and get Forster playing. Goal scoring is a priceless art. Forster has it at this level, the others do not on a consistent basis.

Unless there is significant change we will start at Falmer at the lower end of Division 2. That is not what we deserve.

Yep - glass half full man just now - expecting great things of the Gus era.

In Gus We Trust

 

[Collar Feeler]

Poyet has had 15 league games in charge. Won 4, Drawn 4, Lost 7 - A pretty piss poor record so far by any standard. Still in the bottom 4 no better off than when he arrived, a team chopping and changing,some seemingly reasonable players shipped out on loan,a player publicly causing aggro re: contracts, second worst home record in the league, joint worst home goals scored. Yeah sounds like he's got it all well under control!

From where I'm sitting we are in exactly the same shite position as we have been since Wilkins left and I can't see how it is going to change despite all the good talk and bluster from Gus. I think he's going to take us down.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There is a fine line between bold and stupid. Which is Gus? Stupid as things stand.

Certainly seems a daft time to be shipping our, arguably, third-choice striker out on loan - when our first-choice striker is currently a non-starter.

Perhaps, just perhaps, he knows a little bit more than the average twat on here. God, some of you keyboard warriors, thinking you know so much about man management, tactics etcjust from playing football manager (or whatever stupid title it is) on your PC.

I have more confidence in Gus than any manager since Coppell. Yes, he's still learning, but he's proved what he can do as a player, and IMO was the reason behind the success at Leeds.

If he wants to kick some ego's and sort out the discipline for off field actics, then that's fine by me. If we lose some players in the fall-out; so f****ing what.

And guess what, I'm sure Gus realises that we're going to be exposed without Forster, Davies & Dickinson. No really, I do think he knows a little bit about football; don't know why, just a little hunch.

Oh I forgot one thing - Seb Carole :US:

It still doesn't change the fact that he isn't winning us games and that is all that counts.

 

[larus]

That's the problem with everything in life today, not just football. Everyone wants INSTANT success. It doesn't happen; it's gonna take time.

We're defending better (but still individuals are making mistakes).
The discipline is better.
The way we play is better.
He's clearing out the dross.
He's aiming to improve the squad, not just replace like for like.

OK, it's not as good as we'd like, but we nearly beat Norwich. Better than at the beginning of the season. It's a work in progress, but it takes time to get there.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

I really wish I could be as optomistic as some are on here but unfortunately I just cant see it.

If we were loaning out players when we at the right end of the league and picking up points I could understand that but loaning out players which are going to clubs higher up the league/leagues makes no sence when we are in the bottom 4 and not picking up points.

Telling players contracts will be discussed at the end of the season and then giving a new contract to one and not others was only ever going to cause problems, as a manager you need to take staff with you not pulling in other directions.

Seb Carole being on the payroll let alone getting match time is quite frankly taking the piss.

Gus please prove me wrong.

 

[Collar Feeler]

Well I just hope this work in progress doesn't end up with me sitting at a cold and shitty Withdean next season watch Albion v Morecambe because frankly that isn't progress.

Your blind faith is admirable. I seem to recall we got relegated with Coppell and then he left us. Would be intrigued to know why you think he was the success at Leeds and not Wise. Is that another of your hunches or do you have some evidence.

Nearly beating teams is crap. Instant success is not necessarily what people demand, just a home victory would be nice. Huddersfield were there for the taking and we played Carole. Well it was a gamble that didn't pay off. We got ourselves into a good position with Norwich and tactically threw it away.
So people are frustrated about home form and very soon we will be getting the envelopes through the front door asking for our support next season.

[Icy Gull]

I have faith but I can't imagine the Albion is a particularly happy ship at the moment so I won't be surprised if we continue to struggle on the pitch for a while yet.

And being based in Perth you are probably better equipped than most to comment on our performances this season, under both Slade and Poyet. Out of interest, how did you think Carole played on Tuesday against Huddersfield and did you think his performance merited a place on the bench against Norwich?

 

[narly101]

Having seen the dire performance of the goalless draw at Brentford where we had absolutely no passion at all, then witnessing the very poor 1-0 defeat to MK Dons, I must admit that in 2009 I was resigned to seeing us drop into League 2. I still haven't changed that opinion, but I will remain slightly pessimistic until I see the Charlton away game on the 23rd. I have sincere reason to have faith in Gus. Not everyone makes 100% perfect decisions, and Gus is no exception, but he appears to be making better decisions tactically (Seb Carole aside) than Russel Sdlae did.

In Gus I slightly trust.

Plus Gus knows exactly what is going on behind the scenes and no doubt making decisions based on that. Why do people on this site think they can make better decisions without being in possession of all the facts!!!!!
