Do we go into some games expecting to lose?

[R. Slicker]

A lot of posters on here seem to now accept we are going to lose to teams like Peterborough or Leeds, What kind of negative attitude is that?
I dont, at the start of the season I expected us to beat every team & even now I do not accept that there is a team that we cannot match with the squad we have available. You may say Peterborough are a good side, I say we should not let 4 in at home to anyone in our league, For christ's sake, micky seems to have the same attitude, last night he said" With respect to Carlisle, We are playing Carlisle utd saturday not Peterborough utd." Suggesting we should beat Carlisle.
That should be enough to motivate them

I hate this attitude, Micky started it with Leeds, and now the fans are accepting losing at home conceeding four.

We have played 14 home games, lost 7, conceeded 4 three times, and won just 3 times.

But because we are playing Peterborough (4th division team last season) it is OK to lose and lose by conceeding 4.

How far we have fallen....

Our "performance" at Carlisle in November is probably one of the worst I've seen from an Albion team in 48 years, both on the pitch and from the dugout, and I doubt that anyone who witnessed that clueless, inept display is going to be taken in by this drivel from the manager.
Sorry DK et al but I'm off to the rugby in Cardiff on Saturday to watch a better class of hoofing (from one side anyway).

I thought we were MILES better last night. You can't expect a team to gel perfectly in the first game. Peterborough are flying and I can honestly say I didn't mind losing because for the first time almost all season.. we actually looked like scoring!

Well, that is something that Adams is accepting of. "we are going to play Carlisle next - and they are no Peterborough United"
and he said basically the same things about Leeds United.

You are right - we rarely score TWO whole goals - even at home!

More to the point our opponents used to come to Withdean hoping to get a draw now they come expecting to win.

Agreed!

Davies and McNulty played very well. Plenty of positives to be taken from last night.
