    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    Fair enough. What was ironic about that game was, firstly it was played on Sunday - a rest day, secondly, the Good Man upstairs was most displeased. Had you noticed that when Millwall scored a storm of biblical proportions took place. When it was our turn the sun shone brightly on us righteous...

    I noticed that too. Could it be that Graham Potter has recognised that the strong characters we had in our promotion chasing years of 2015/16 and 2016/17 have gone and not been replaced?

    Well, yes, but we were shit for the first 87 minutes. :)

    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    I did go to the three “humiliating defeats” and after each one I thought - well, we can’t get any worse. There by hangs the tale (tail?) of the ever optimistic Albion fan. Pass me my glass that’s half full thank you. :drink:

    Defensive duties innit. He’s perfecting the “Duffy Block”.

    Trosshard? Your new nickname for him or are you in the Houghton spelling club?

    [Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

    I missed two home league games and went to nine away last season. For me the writing on the wall became apparent in the second half against Fulham away. Our confidence just evaporated and it was only gutsy defensive performances in the last few matches, and, Cardiff’s inability to take advantage...

    Please! No hold ups on the M25 and don’t tell anyone where Norwich is. :eek:

    Of course there are many legitimate reasons (as you’ve described) as to why these players were not selected. But, as a fan and a spectator, you look at it from a different perspective. The club make a big announcement that such and such a player has been signed, everyone’s excited, watch past...

    Good post. Much as I liked and admired Chris Hughton I found it so frustrating that when we brought in any “star” players they had to be bedded in to get used to our system. It would be months before we actually saw them play, and even then it would some cup tie or a cameo substitute performance...
