The real deal

Bozza · Dec 12, 2015

Speeding South on the Albion Express, it would be easy to feel disappointed that we have just the one point in our back pocket.

Not so.

We went into the den of probably the best team in this division. Ane we went there with injuries to key players.

In games like this you expect to be massively pressured for 15-20 minutes and see Greer, Dunk and Stockdale lunging to keep us in the game.

Not so.

This was a massively impressive from Albion and marks us as real promotion contenders.

We have no nothing to fear.

We went into the den of probably the second best team in this division. Ane we went there with injuries to key players.

Yeah but that'll all change when we play a decent team.

it will take a massive capitulation now to not even make the playoffs, the albion in the premiership next year you say?? *mastabates furiously*

The Birdman · Dec 12, 2015

It's great just a bit worried about mounting injurys that's all but looking forward to Tuesday Night.

S'hampton Seagull · Dec 12, 2015

March's injury is a real concern. RVLP and Murphy will have to start the rest of the December games, KLL needed ASAP. Will we sign another winger in January?

Ernest · Dec 12, 2015

We haven't played a team at the top yet

samtheseagull · Dec 12, 2015

Injuries is only thing that may halt us a bit. We should be a fair bit clear at the top really but the way we play is better than any team ive seen in the league this year.

Seasider78 · Dec 12, 2015

We are going straight up there I said it

This team is simply incredible and the team spirit and togetherness is there for all to see. We have injuries to key players and I still think there is more to come from this squad

A simply astounding turnaround from last season and enjoying every kick of this season

lol yes, and quite honestly the play-offs won't be good enough, I want automatic promotion.

Am I getting a tad greedy? Seriously though, is there any reason why we can't do a Bournemouth?

Napier's Knee · Dec 12, 2015

Few weeks ago we were worried about our lack of goals. No team in the division has scored more than us!

We haven't played a team at the top. Because we ARE THE TEAM AT THE TOP.

Hampster Gull · Dec 12, 2015

Womder if we are still being underestimated now

chucky1973 · Dec 12, 2015

Over the moon. But worry about injuries mounting up. When are the first of the 'long term' due back?

Agree with most of that but there were moments when Greer, Dunk and others were lunging in with vital tackles. Overall we matched them and possibly/probably should have won. It was also good to hear a big cheer from the Albion contingent at the final whistle no sign of disappointment at the late equalizer as you say just appreciation of another excellent performance.

Chant/song of the match ... 'Bobby Zamora he's coming for you' to a deathly silent 29000 home contingent ... you could feel their pain

Yes, what a team! But as you write, the injury situation is serious, if, as seems so, Solly will also be out for a time. It is probably also unprecedented in terms of now 5 regulars being out for so long. But even with a few regulars out, we did not lose at Derby, as (be honest) many of us thought might happen, and so we can hopefully get through December with continued success until they all return in the New Year and the squad is further bolstered by hopefully quality reinforcements . # gets hanky out#
