I was at Withdean on Tuesday and the atmosphere was dire: negative, moaning, looking for mistakes. We seem to be in a downward spiral where we turn up to criticise rather than support. It must be difficult if you are a player to feel the crowd are on your back from the start looking for any...

We were overrun in the first half. Sat back too much and let them run at us. Their Chris Taylor did some dazzling runs and we were lucky to go in 0-1. One shot by Taylor hit the inside of the post and rolled along the line. Lynch looked out of sorts mis-cueing several headers whilst Tank got his...

And Albert is on the bench at Watford.

It's exactly what I would want him to be saying. It may be a remote possibility that we avoid the drop but we should go down fighting and I would want the manager to talk in those terms. It would give a bit of spice to the last few games if we started winning... Well, you can dream.

Don't post here often but look at the site regularly to keep up to date with the team. I agree with Cornholio. It's about supporting the team not abusing them. Who gets motivated by constant criticism?

"Skidrow United hopes to get £10m in grants to drive its bulldozers across the government's own countryside policy."

Page 15. Title "Seagull Droppings".

I see Private Eye for 9th December has us as "moronic fans" of Skidrow United. Sorry if this has been posted already. Just deciding whether to renew my annual subscription to Lord Gnome's Organ. Looks like I'll have to leave Neasden FC to Sid and Doris Bonkers.

I'm hoping to go to this one. Guess we won't hear until later. Where's the best place to look for updates?

Good to read a positive thread. Surely being an Albion supporter is about sticking with the team and manager through ups and downs and not panicking when the going gets tough. Of course, that can't be in all circumstances but there's no way we should be heading towards a Palace game with the...

I would agree with that report (apart from the fact that due to a nightmare journey up the motorways we missed the first 20 mins) Henderson 8 Reid 7 McShane 8 Butters 7 Mayo 5 Oatway 6 Hammond 7 Carole 6 Jarrett 8 Knight 7 Was CKR that anonymous? Second list to miss him out.

So what chance of an extended loan for McShane? How long before Hinshilwood returns?

Maybe our new found French connections mean we have a better chance of loaning some of Wenger's boys. They'd feel at home with the team communicating in franglais.

Just back from China. There were one or two people there. I was training teachers and had them chanting "seagulls" at the beginning of a session on "culture". The trip to Derby don't seem too bad after the 6000 fromShanghai.

Saw the 3-3 in January 61 as a little kid. Couldn't get into the ground so watched it from the garden of the houses above the chicken run! Burnley were a great side then and it was a fantastic result for us.

The danger is that we leave McCammon and Knight feeding on scraps and get deeper and deeper. Virgo has forced mistakes from defences and this can help to disrupt their flow. To be honest, I will just be happy if we take them on, whatever the formation, and threaten their goal a bit more than we...

First, shame on you Irish for starting a football thread. Last season, in the equivalent fixture, we were 3-1 up and folded to 3-3. I don't want to see us sitting back too much. They've got the players to score goals and we would have loved to have got Blackstock as an option.So I would go for a...

I think he's still giving us the once over as well as the other way round. Not committing himself.

He's in his late twenties and has played abroad. He's aiming to use us as a stepping stone back to the Premiership.

Argus has an interview with Shaaban. Having watched Yelldell at Cardiff, I'm worried about the defence for the next few games. Yelldell seemed jittery and it made the whole defence seem insecure. I could see us shipping a load of goals. Shaaban hasn't been playing but we need someone with...
