Lost the passion?
- Thread starter Henfield One
- Start date
There's always a twinge of cringe inducing panic when there's a bounce like this, luckily, for once, I seemed to have dodged a bullet with this one.
It was a bad season. I get that some people had lost their mojo. I'm just surprised by how many here agreed.
I've just had a look through the thread - you came through with flying colours - a shining light in a sea of piss stained mattresses.

The original post just demonstrates the kind of negative mindset that many of us, if not all of us were in just a few short months ago. It also demonstrates how far we've come. I think it's a little unfair to drag this thread back up and put one person on the spot when there are hundreds of other similar threads from back then that we could just as easily do likewise with. I don't think any of us could see the turnaround in our clubs fortune coming this fast, and I for one would have most likely agreed with the OP back in April, obviously I don't now. Just shows how quickly things can change in football.

Aren't you confusing him with Lenny Rider?
We've hardly done much since April. Same chairman, same ceo, same manager, we've just had a good transfer window, a lack of injuries and a good start to the season. If those that agreed with the OP still feel the same way, then fair enough, each to their own. Those that have changed their mind surely appreciate how fickle and short sighted they were being (and I'm not saying that's the worst crime in the world, but get a grip people).
I don't think it puts one person on the spot, because so many agreed with him. I've nothing against the OP posting his thoughts, as you say, many others posted about their dissatisfaction.
We finished in the playoffs the two seasons before last, and we might not make it this year - we've only played 5 games, it's hardly a miracle.

Yes he is
PS will not change his view, apart from being a long time Albion fan he was a veteran of the fight against Belotti and Archer, the club has moved on but he hasn't imho!

Stupid IDIOT
And if we lose the next 5 matches this thread will be buried again
I did not post in this originally, but if I said my Albion mojo was not low at the end of last season, it would be a big fat lie. I hoped it was temporary.
Being at the top of the league is helping, but the biggest thing that has made me feel connected to the club again is the way it conducted itself during last weeks tragedy. The genuine hurt they felt, the compassion and help they gave to the local community was outstanding. "Together" I thought was just another marketing thing, but the club has shown they mean it. I know what ever happens going forward this season I am bloody proud of this club. I am really sad though that it took such a tragic and cruel thing to happen for me to see it.
I hope that when the club goes through a tough time again we remember and support them as they have the community.

How easy to be smug in hindsight
BTW we have played 5 games out of 46

No hindsight here. Called it as self-indulgent twaddle at the time. We had a bad season on the pitch - all the crap about the club going to the dogs was crap then and is crap now.

Yes I am Lord B. I realised that almost immediately after I'd posted it. Can't be arsed to change it now. I seem to remember he had similar feelings towards the current state of the club, or have I got that wrong, too?
