Just tuned in to check out the threads. NSC feels like this...



Really guys. What did we all expect this season? We're stepping up into the Premier League, with no real track record at this level. We're not going to attract the signings we want early in the season, and yet with what we have and what we have attracted, we've managed to secure 13th spot.

Yes, we are on a lean run, but we are not being played off the park week in week out. We are not yet half way through the season, and against the bottom half sides we're showing that we can do what's required to stay up. Staying up is the objective for this season, and that involves not losing. It's not about playing like Barca.

Yes, we should be turning defence into attack faster; yes we should shoot when we have a sight of goal; yes, I'd like to see Chris make some changes earlier, but really, in the scheme of things, the world of BHAFC is not a disaster.

If we go down, then we'll have learned lots.

Well according to the bloke who sits behind me in the Family Stand it was one of the worst Brighton performances he's ever seen. Never stopped shouting and moaning with his idiot offspring all match. Murray was appalling, and then when he went off March was the worst player on the pitch. The guy has literally not stopped moaning since the day the Amex opened. It can be hard to enjoy games when you've got a constant running commentary in your earhole from someone who thinks they're a football expert and seems to dislike almost everything about what they're watching.

But I agree with you. Good positive play most of the game, we made Burnley look very ordinary and we had some bad luck.

Yup. We've got one of those in the row behind us in WSU. It really does detract from the enjoyment.

In what sense have we 'secured' 13th spot? That's where we are at the moment. I'd love to believe it's where we'll finish but there's nothing secure about it.
