Who would be your targets ?
Mitrovic ?
Nasty midfielder ? (I quite fancy Grealish)
Will Ashworth deliver any ex Eng u20/21s etc ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Assuming we survive, is CH the right man for 19/20?

I've experienced a fair number of ups and downs in supporting the Albion since my first match in 1963 and I no longer get as het up as I used to in my younger day, win or lose.
It is an age thing with me!
That's about the same time as me, although two years earlier.

Many of us pay nothing like £600 a year. There are concessions.

I do not understand why so many are suggesting Mitrovic to replace Murray then suggesting we change our style of play the two do not equate which each other. Many want Andone and or Locadia to start and both are different to Murray.

I’m as bored by the losing football as much as anyone else, but I think the club will maintain its supporter base with ease. Gates generally in foootball are far higher now than 35 years ago, 10,000’s appear to love the whole matchday thing of a trip to the Amex and meeting up with mates, we have the bulk of a £1.6m catchment area (Sussex) to ourselves, and people seem so optimistic before each home match.
Some supporters may give up the ghost, but others will take their place, in my opinion.

The club said in the programme on Saturday they had a 94% ST renewal rate for next season - effectively same as last 2 seasons. (95 and 95) Ie: a fairly normal turnover rate. Club say it’s change of circumstances, people moving away - that type of thing. Didn’t mention how many cited being “numbed into bored silence” .
So i guess if the question is how long will they put up with this ? Then I’d say it’s for quite a bit longer.

That is the truth as we have missed Gross more than most could imagine, This raises the question about the players we signed in January and loaned back.

I think the 'fan experience' in terms of stadia and facilities means that the attendance is far less dependent upon results than it used to be, and fans are more realistic about what is and isn't possible. Back then you had Liverpool and pretty much everyone else was beatable on your day - nowadays the Top 6 are so far out of sight. Similarly, Leicester, Everton and West Ham are spending big and look like locking up 3 of the remaining top 10 spots.
For the other 11 sides the Prem is all about surviving and - preferably - surviving with style. And - it has to be said - the relegation dogfight is enthralling, I'm not worn down by it at all and whilst I like to aspire to the mid-table 'ennui' the reality is that once this season is done the likes of Watford, Bournemouth, Palace will be worrying about relegation just as much as ever, with 3 new teams to slot into the lower division tussle. That said, Wolves have certainly broken the mould by jumping from Championship straight into the Top Ten and raised expectations for clubs like us.
For me I don't mind a bit of defence - I love watching Duffy and Dunk together - but I'd love part of our identity to relate to our attack. Last season it was Murray and Gross, this season it is only Murray and the worry is neither of them will be major contributors next season, so what next?
Plus almost 8,000 on the ST waiting list.

Surely the number of season ticket holders is secondary to the TV money so having a full ground means nothing. If we were seriously looking like being relegated then the board will look elsewhere. I know people think that we are in a relegation fight but without being arrogant we have not been in danger this season as per Huddersfield, Burnley, Fulham and Cardiff. Had we not had that lucky set of 3 wins when we were being hammered we probably would have had a new manager.

Different time. 17th for 10 years running and the stadium will still be full.
It's a results game.
We were only replying to someone who felt that crowds would plummet if we continue to not be entertained.

I like Tom Davies at Everton and Cheikh Kouyate up the road who doesn’t seem to be part of Roy’s plans. He was fantastic at times for West Ham.
That made me laugh after having just enjoyed your jet-lag post!!
