Will we get to the Prem with Gus as manager?

[detsknil]

You misread my question. It's not CAN we, it's WILL we?

Then YES is the answer!

 

[severnside gull]

It's a "yes" from me

[One Love]

Jury's out for me.

Love the football been played in the last 2 games but look what happened the game before. Gus has to work out how his team of flair plays football on northern muddy ploughed fields.

i want to trust in Gus, but find my faith wavering. not enough goals, too few wins at home. something isn't right and im not sure Gus knows what it is or knows how to fix it.

Gus cant be blamed for us not taking our chances, we are doing more than enough to win 75% of our home games, Gus certainly is not letting us down in any way in my opinion.

 

[Surf's Up]

Hasn't Gus said numerous times that it would have to be something really, really, really special for him to leave? i.e. Real Madrid, Barca, Zaragoza, Uruguay, Chelsea or Spurs?

This, and he will need to prove himself in the premier league and Europe before any of these with the exception of Zaragoza come calling. He will do this over the next 4 years with one club and they are called Brighton & Hove Albion!

I was also going to say, he has emphasised many, many, many, many times that Brighton is a long term project, and his involvement with the training centre hints towards this way of thinking too.

Think this is my take on things also. Am sure our new striker is going to be alright eventually but we needed a Kevin Phillips type to start getting goals immediately.

 

[beorhthelm]

... we are doing more than enough to win 75% of our home games

not sure what your counting (since his appointment? Amex?) but this season is 6 wins from 16 home game in the league, or 37%. lowest in the top half. highest home draws in league (7) and reasonable away (5 wins, 6 draws from 15) have made up the points. i dont want to say it, but its not enough (evidently)

 

[pork pie]

I voted no, but not for the suggested reason. My reason is that he is not pragmatic enough to win matches at this level, given the budget we can afford. That is why he keeps bleating on about the lack of money he gets. He does not have the ability to make the most of what money he gets.

Eh? Weren't they signed about the same time and each of them has one goal to their name? Simplifying it a bit because you said that 'type' of player, but I don't think it will be long before it clicks with Ulloa.

Interesting piece in Sport magazine (the iPad edition, at least) this week about young European managers set for top jobs, including De Boer, Solskjaer and Klopp, followed by three to watch who are the UK (Gus, Howe and Robinson). Makes you think that while his stock is quite high, there are a lot of other options out there.

I voted yes – I think he will stay and finish the job he started.

Hopefully with us(Gus in the top flight). I still don't understand the whole Karl Robinson fascination. He's achieved F all so far. Currently managing a mid-table team in League 1. He's had so many chances to get them promoted. On the other hand Howe looks like a real prospect. He's doing a fine job along the coast with the Cherries.

Howe is totally Cherrycentric

[blue2]

It's a project a long term project I say yes

 

[upthealbion1970]

He does not have the ability to make the most of what money he gets.

Team in the top half with a bottom half budget suggests he's doing well.

Big fat yes from me

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Yes

But it will have to be a mix of the glorious (at home every week PLEASE and none of this defensive shit at home, more team/set up against Blackburn than Brum) and the defensive AWAY from home.

 

[Giraffe]

Yep next season we will win the championship

 

[ees complicated no?]

We will do a swansea - get promotion - he will have 1 good season - move to Chelsea or Spurs - He will be shit - we will be good still.

Thats my prediction

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Gus is still a rookie so no big club is gonna come knocking just yet. Clubs will be comparing him and Zola, alongside each other and at the moment, Zola is winning more brownie points.

 

[BearwoodSeagull]

Yep...no doubt.
