Why do we lack the killer instinct?

[Lifelong Supporter]

I am not sure we sit back at all. When home teams are behind they tend to push on and look to score. We are having good stats for shots and shots on target.

We are taking the lead and have done in all games to date. Enjoy it whilst you can, it will not last. This is football !!!!

Fantastic start to the season and 99% of fans will be happy (maybe 79% on NSC.) This is a tough division and only one team scored twice in the championship tonight. Bobby to come and Murphy to bed in are positives to look forward too and Uwe has made a solid start. Think there will be one more major signing possibly two if Dunk goes. We have character through out the team and the signs are that we will have a much better season than last year. There will be ups and downs but enjoy the buzz of a good start.

I don't mean to be negative. It's a great start, and the signs are there that we could have a great season. When we are playing against decent opposition and we're away from home, I am always happy with a draw, but I don't think we should have settled for a draw tonight, that's all.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Without decent strikers we will struggle again this season one goal a game in open play is not good enough, relying on COG as a sub to change the game is a joke he was shit last season why do the club think he will be any better this time around. When will Tony wake up and smell the coffee

We have Zamora and Harper both to come in......

 

[Mutts Nuts]

The time will come when we will be able to sore again to take a 2 goal lead, patience Rome wasnt built in a day.

Rome was not built in a day? How long have we been at Falmer and we still have not replaced the prolific goal scorer that got us promoted. If Tony thinks promotion can be achieved without decent strikers then he should stick to throwing his money at the game of Poker

 

[StonehamPark]

Not good enough. We should be on 12 points with at least +4 GD.
Why hasn't Zamora scored yet?! What are we paying him for?!

 

[Rod Marsh]

7 from 9 , two of those away with an incomplete squad.

I'd have taken that

As would any team in the division. Great start to build on. Far better than I had imagined.

 

[The Wookiee]

Lua Lua definitely was going for it when he was brought down in the 93rd minute at Fulham, he was also not so shy in stoppage time at Southend ! I'd say we were hardly sitting back playing for the draw !!

You really are superb. What do you think Tony should do? What would you do that he has so far been unable to? Tell us, we're all ears.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Chelski, ManU, Arse and Citeh often have trouble 'finishing off' teams - it ain't always that simple!

And they have strikers

Sign a striker that can score on a regular basis would be a start

Genius idea. Do you think he's thought of that?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Not that I really think think he is available, but signing Vydra on a season loan would probably address this.

An important 2 weeks for the albion before the window slams shut.

 

[jimbob5]

If we win all of our homes and draw the aways....Happy Days.

IF! We don't though do we.

 

[jimbob5]

Genius idea. Do you think he's thought of that?

Or don't sell/give away the ones who DO score on a regular basis.

 

[TottonSeagull]

I'm very happy at where we are currently, but when you play against teams like Huddersfield, and they are there for the taking, we need to be more aggressive and try and win the game. Maybe you were happy sitting at the bottom of the table fighting for our lives, but I would rather we were pushing for promotion like the previous two seasons! Finishing off teams when you're ahead is the difference between success and failure. Why would you want to fail? Why would you be happy with a draw?

I don't mean to be negative. It's a great start, and the signs are there that we could have a great season. When we are playing against decent opposition and we're away from home, I am always happy with a draw, but I don't think we should have settled for a draw tonight, that's all.

So I am asked if I am happy with a draw and asked why would you want to fail, yet you state that you are always happy with a draw? What a strange individual you are!

Look, I said pre-season 16th would be good. I'm on the crest of a wave here..........

Would you have turned down TEN MILLION POUNDS for Ulloa?

 

[GT49er]

I agree, it was so much better than last season, when we always seemed to concede straight after scoring. But I would still like us to hold on to a lead better. If Hughton is happy with winning each game with a single goal, he needs to shaw up the midfield as soon as we score. Personally I'd like us to go out and try and score a second and put the game out of sight.

I would be happy winning every game by a single goal - but if you score early on, you can't realistically expect to defend for the next 70, 80 or 90 minutes. I don't know what's so difficult about carrying on the same way as got you a one goal lead in the first place, but then again, I don't have Chris Hughton's job!

I agree 16th would be OK but I'm getting pelters for telling peeps to calm down.

Obviously not we have signed a pensioner and a trainee , neither of which the club deem good enough to play 1st team football. Nice to see you continue to resort to childish bullying posts to get your point across, grow up you left school along time ago
