[Albion] Your Albion Christmas/ New Year wish

[The_Viper]

To be in the PL next August.

This. 100%.

 

[BensGrandad]

To be in the PL next August.

I didnt include that as I can see no logical reason why we shouldn't be if CH was more proactive.

 

[andy1980]

To finish higher than 15th and somehow celebrate Tony Blooms' 10th anniversary in charge in style.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Double the current points tally by the end of February

agree, then let the young guns loose (Connolly and Gyokeres in particular).

[Stat Brother]

Mine would be for people to not constantly think they know more about football than the bestest manager the Albion have ever had.

 

[maltaseagull]

To see us beat Liverpool!

Plus to have 40+ points several games before the end of season and really have a go at teams.

 

[Seasidesage]

Stay up and have a real go at the FA cup.

it is not about people thinking that they know more but opinions and wishes however impractical they may be.

Mine would be that CH makes substitutions to influence a game rather than consolidate or hold on to it even at half time if it is needed.

My hope is that CH resists the clamour to throw caution to the wind and instead to continue with his current methods that is until we have gained enough points that ensures safety or that the fear of relegation is such that desperate needs must

I do think we could have won or drawn a few more games but playing the laws of averages is the way CH operates

 

[chaileyjem]

One of Hughton's faults is he is happy to say he's disappointed in post game interviews but you don't very often see him pointing out his teams failing from the sideline

I sit overlooking Hughton. He barely does anything else throughout a game.

Were you at the Palace Game BG ?

 

[Change at Barnham]

To continue to consolidate our PL status by strengthening our squad each transfer window with a couple of good signings.
And to win more games than we lose.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I agree with that. You can see him waving his arms about & shouting, even from the north stand.

Yep I sat in WSU for first time on boxing day, and it was like a live-action version of nsc. Manager and critics everywhere. As nice as the view was, think I'll stick downstairs in future

 

[BensGrandad]

Were you at the Palace Game BG ?

Yes as I have been at every home game for as long as I can remember although I must admit to stopping going to away games about 5 years ago. You are trying to highlight 1 game but there are many when his caution has failed to get us points... I think that he is a good manager and knows what he is doing it is just that I would like to see him be more pro active. As an example I would have taken GM off when he collected his card against Arsenal as being on a yellow card inhibits his natural aggressive instinct.

That's why they can't see him then, give him some space.

 

[chaileyjem]

Has his substitutions, tactics or selections or experiences as a manager ever gained us points do you think ? (sticking with Glenn Murray, picking Locadia v Arsenal, the subs at Palace, assists from Solly March who others would have dropped, defending those 1-0 leads ? )

 

[amexer]

Have enough points to have a look at our best young players.
Would also like to see Hughton improve his touchline conduct

 

[Bodian]

More away games up north...
