When did it start to go wrong?

[ROSM]

There possibly is some accuracy that things changed when Paul Barber was appointed. There was history between the two and there was only going to be one winner given the state of the profit and loss account.

Please note I've used the phrase 'changed' rather than 'gone wrong'

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

But Albion had lost about 20 of Bailey's last 30 games in charge. Something had to be done, albeit not bringing in Melia.

Fair enough - I just didn't remember the results as being that poor under Bailey. The appointment of Melia still puzzles me.

Yes, but in that 1981/82 season (which was our highest finish), we lost 10 of our last 14 games.

Then, in 1982/83, we lost 10 out of the opening 19 games before it was bye bye, Bailey.

What was the turning point for the Albion,which factor started the events that has led us to the brink of disaster

Best fishing I've seen in a long time. Some very unexpected bites, well done rev

Poogate.

If only the culprit had realized the consequences that turd would come to have.

It's probably one of the most significant poos in footballing history.

We still haven't recoved from those 2 Zaha goals and the ensuing fall out.

Refelcting we were one of the best 2 sides in the league that season, we really should have gone up automatically.

The question now is. "When on Earth will it start to go right"

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It's fine taking a chance on a manager like Sami.

Where it all went wrong was in sticking with him too long.

So for me it all went wrong after the Rotherham game, when he should have been dismissed instantly.

Good bounce! Quite a lot of sense on here, wasn't there.

When we gave Glenn our leading goal scorer to the scum, you could not make it up, One club no ambition

I haven't read the thread answers,.... but my view is at the very moment we capitulated to Palace in the play-off.

Poyet failed to put out an exciting team in the Championship and most performances were boring.

You have obviously never watched any of the games under Garcia or Hyppia!!!

Poyet's team played the best football I ever witnessed in a Brighton side - and I've following them for over 40 years! Possession football with flair. The only people who objected to it were those neanderthals who wanted us to lump it forward at every opportunity. Look at the players we had that season compared to what we have now.

Taken out of context. I also said : "Loads of posts complained about our lack of shots on goal and sideways football."

I think it's true to say League 1 Poyets's team were great to watch but in the championship he was much more defensive and cautious.

Play Off Semi's last year wasn't too bad.

The wheels fell off during the summer, pre-season was a joke, sold our best players, replaced them with average players and appointed the wrong manager.

Not getting Murray back when we had the chance

Not backing Oscar in the January transfer window

When we took our eye off the ball - literally! i.e. Actual football 2nd to commercials.
