I was at both those games and would never demean them. However maintaining our Premier League status is bigger in my opinion.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Bissouma HAS to start on Saturday surely?

Bigger than dropping into oblivion and potentially not existing at all, or having to be reincarnated as AFC Brighton or something!?

I'd say being in existence is bigger than surviving a Prem season.

what looked like a hamstring injury so unlikely to be fit but if he is it will be interesting to see who CH starts with.

I don’t think we would ever have ‘not existed’ the fan base was too vast and too loyal to ever let that happen.

Mainly because we were a football league club.
Dropping out without a football stadium, no money and a trip to Gillingham every 2 weeks probably would've meant the end. We would have just kept on dropping, especially with the debts we had. Staying up meant everything.

If we get relegated, we drop into the Championship with a 45m parachute payment. I’d say that dropping into the Vauxhall Conference without a stadium may have had a greater long term effect.
There are 3 relegation spots each season, and we’ll be one of the 11-12 realistic candidates every year. I’d be astounded if the club management don’t have contingency plans.
Exactly, and with no home. Prospects would’ve been awful, the road back painful.

Bissouma is everywhere, and enthusiastic, and drives forward. But I'm not sure I've yet seen the pieces of skill and creativity to put him ahead of Gross. For all that Pascal can go missing and be ineffectual at times, he is still the best crosser of the ball, has one of the best eyes to create a chance - like the backheel to set up Murray yesterday. Its the same with Knocky, for all he can be frustrating, he can score goals and create chances. Ultimately thats what football is about.
You're utterly mad !
Quite. Not opposed to him starting, as he is very classy, but who does he replace?
Not Stephens as the defence needs some protection, and Bissouma is not disciplined enough.
Would you really drop Propper?
Perhaps Propper for Stephens but is he even disciplined enough shape wise?
That leaves Gross, last seasons PotY and arguably Murray’s best source of supply.
I also feel that Bissouma fades at an hour, so perhaps start for an hour and bring on Gross.
I do feel this is not as obvious as it seems all IMO of course....

Button is a disaster waiting to happen, see both FA cup games and West Ham away when he miskicked.
Burn I thought was poor vs Derby and IMO nowhere near as good as Dunk or Duffy, but is good cover.
Bruno and Bernardo - 100% agree.

Yes - but you know he won't
Firstly You didn’t go to Hereford. And there is no comparison to those games. We would be a reformed club without those 4 points in those two games.
Relegation isn’t the end of the world. Sky will make you believe it is but bring it on. We go down to a highly competitive and far more enjoyable division.
I’d rather stay up but rekegstion is not comparable to our near exit out of the football league.
Not sure. Playing in Gillingham in the Conference would have been a deadly blow. Plus the conference had more stringent rules on ground sharing and their stance was clear we couldn’t ground share with Gillingham. We may well have had to drop further down the football pyramid or challenge through the courts with **** all money.

Ok let’s keep playing propper and Stephens 2 goals between them in a season and a half that’ll work

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Bissouma and Propper should be our first-choice central midfield partnership.
