Just looking at our next four away games in the league, we've got Bournemouth (4th), Norwich (6th), Derby (1st) and Wolves (3rd). Anything we get out of those games would be a bonus so we have to start winning our home games, not holding on for a point against bottom half teams!
If that doesn't...
Slightly off the topic of new manager, I was wondering the other day how many of the players who started against Palace will be starting the first game of next season (assuming they are fit). Obviously will depend on the new manager but interested to get people's views.
As a reminder, teams...
Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but why was James Tunnicliffe dropped yesterday. I missed the Hartlepool game but from the sound of it Elphick and El Abd were at fault for the goals, yet Tunnicliffe gets dropped. Given the way the central defence played yesterday, surely he must play at...
The next meeting of Seagulls over London is on Wednesday 23 September at the Royal Oak pub in Borough. The meeting starts at 7:30pm.
Dick Knight has agreed to attend (subject to any last minute issues) so it should be a good night. All are welcome.
It was apparently mentioned on Sky last night (and Insider has confirmed it when asked in Ask the Club) that the penalty shootout end was decided by the police. Am I the only one who thinks that is ludicrous.
On what grounds have they decided to do that (I know they will say safety but in...
Sorry if this has been said already but I am not sure tonight is as bad a result as it seems. It was definitely a poor performance but we play better away from home, Luton will have to attack more leaving them more open at the back and we will have a stronger side with players back from injury...
A hypothetical question to the Adams out brigade. I am personally a bit unsure about whether he should go or not. I am far from convinced by him but I am not sure that paying off his wages will do us much good with 2 and a half years left on his contract.
We clearly have x amount available to...
I know it has been said many times before but this season it seems to have got worst. An obvious reason for us struggling at home and being so good away is the crowd. Away from home the fans get behind the team and support them almost whatever the result. I have rarely heard boos away from home...
Are we now trying to go for a record as the club with the most former managers on their books. With Barry Lloyd and Martin Hinshelwood at the club, they are now also hoping that Dean Wilkins will stay on as coach. Even our new manager is a former manager.
Can't be many clubs with a backroom...
Not sure if there has been a thread already, but Walsall manager Richard Money has resigned. Bit of a surprise.
BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Walsall | Money resigns as Walsall manager
Not seen it anywhere else but it says on the bbc website that Chris Coleman is going to Coventry. Good appointment in my view, he did well at Fulham and was turning it around at Sociedad until the new President came in.
Link...
I am not sure if it is just our fans who are fickle or is every football fan like this?
The ridiculous calls for Micky Adams to return as manager are a classic example. Mark McGhee was sacked, apparently, due to a fans revolt. Ignoring the rights or wrongs of it, Dean Wilkins was put in charge...
While many of you are delighted this morning, I really fear for the future of this club. Who are we going to attract as a new manager with the Falmer situation looking worst than ever. If we appoint from inside where are the guarantees that they will do any better than Wood and Hinshelwood...
I must admit that last night for the first time I began to get frustrated with Knight and McGhee. However, why have we forgotten who is really to blame. Archer, Stanley, Bellotti, Lewes District Council, Baker etc have all attacked this club over recent years. We have come through that and we...
Not sure if this has been mentioned before but:
There is a very real danger that Cristiano Ronaldo will be voted the fans' best young player at the World Cup despite his pouting, diving, pretty boy antics designed mainly to get himself a lucrative transfer to Real Madrid and thus avoid the...
So how many of you McGhee out people were supporting Albion when we were half an hour from going out of the league. Not many judging by your reactions. People forget how far we have come in the last nine years and if I had been told then of the seasons we would have had at Withdean I would not...
It amazes me that some of the selections put forward if Mark McGhee were to go. Everybody suggesting Phil Parkinson, Martin Allen etc should take a reality check. No manager in charge of a team on the up will come to us as we are going nowhere until Falmer. There is no guarantee that they would...
It is so irritating listening to morons on here criticising Mark McGhee. Yes, he is not perfect but nobody has ever said he is. He works with one of the lowest budgets in the league. Look at Coventry's bench at the weekend and you will have seen players like Don Hutchison, Richard Shaw and Andy...
