I certainly did not think he would go like that! FWIW as a non Brighton fan, of course he has done well for you, but everything was on his side...it was yhe best time in your history to become Manager and he owes you a lot for that chance. Your Leadership have their heads screwed on and look...

Thanks. It got largely slated when I posted it at the time but I could understand that.

Wrote this today about the summer window, many themes that I see from browsing about on here. http://betweenthelinesuk.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/transfer-window-madness-2013/ My Poyet blog from a few months ago also makes an interesting read with the benefit of hindsight...

Fair enough. To be honest Adkins record is unlikely to be something he can keep up over the course of a career as 4 promotions in 7 seasons (at least 3 automatic) is very, very good and currently is far superior to what Poyet has achieved, albeit over a longer time period.

Very clever not to include Adkins stats from his two L1 promotions with Scunthorpe whose budget was miniscule. He also kept 5k Scunny up once which was a great achivevement and then took Saints up with successive promotions. I think he has 4 promotions in 7 seasons (4/6 if you discount the...

No stats needed, Adkins record as a Manager is better than Poyets.

Re: Poyet to Reading thread, massively odds on, (maybe) in talks with them [merged] Im not a Brighton fan and clearly Poyet won't be leaving to join Reading.

Results largely suggest otherwise.

Interesting Gus comment in todays paper: "Maybe people like to play ugly and win, so then you need a different manager." I think people just like to win, and its certainly possible to win playing nice football. Comments like this are always funny because nobody asks anyone to start playing...

I think he would have expected at the start of the season (as many did here) to be doing a little better. He has been well supported in the transfer market but there always seems to be another piece required in the jigsaw before promotion is a realistic ambition.

Because its not the popular opinion so it must be trolling.... End of the day if you dont like the article fair enough, but enough fans here have said they agreed with parts of it so its hardly that outrageous!

Nobody knows really. Depends what his target was at the start of the season.

You are so wrong.

It's up to you what you think. I said in the OP that I'm not a Brighton fan but live in the City which is true. I have written an article that has generated various opinions, some agree, some dont which is fair enough - I can understand all opinions. I think it's decent and well researched...

As I said I live in Hove and am a big football fan so am well aware of how my local team is doing, have been to 3 league games this season at the Amex and have watched all the TV games. Seeing as most of the comments have said the blog is fair enough then it would be pretty dull wind up! The...

Mackail-Smith certainly is better running onto balls than he is with the slower build up. His best attribute is the initial burst of pace and his energy to run all game. It doesnt suit the style because the opposition have time to bring lots of men behind the ball and the space disappears. I...

Who are the mainstays of the team though? The ones that earn the points over the season? Out of interest who would you say is the last Poyet signing to be a unanimous success over a decent period of time ie half a season or so?

Most teams would miss three key players! Even Man Utd or Barcelona. As for the problem, its hard to pin down. Last season I think some of the passing in your own half caused more problems than it was worth but the games I've seen this season it seems the ball is perhaps played forwards a bit...

Fair enough, and good signing. But midfield and attacking options must be right up there with anyone.
