Previous It was Poyets first game I was there super day.
We owe them a 5-0 and I hope it comes today..
It certainly wasn't Poyet's first home game. That was an FA Cup game against Wycomble, we won 2-0. His first home League game was 3-0 defeat to Leeds.

The victory over Bournemouth was on 1st January 2008 when we beat them 3-2 at Withdean. Dean Wilkins was our manager.

Like Adams put the Orient hoodoo to bed I am expecting RDZ to do the same to Bournemouth today, with a thumping win.

What could possibly go wrong?

First away I do apologise.
No that was a 3-1 win over Southampton. I was there for that and it was a fantastic day.

Poyet took us over in the 09-10 season, Bournemouth weren't even in the same division as us. They were in League 2 where they finished runners up. Poyet did manage us against them the following season, we drew 1-1 at Withdean, and lost 1-0 away, one of only 7 league defeats that season.

Yes I did get those two mixed up.

As I have never abused or booed one of our players (ok Maybe Ashley Barnes when he kicked the ref at a Bolton), why would we not support him. Looks like this was the work of an agent, move on.

I love the way RDZ tells the fans what to do. There’s something about his mannerisms and charisma that allow him to do this. If Potter had said “The fans must follow me and do as I say” there would have been uproar. With RDZ it’s like the whole of Sussex says “Yes boss” and follows his orders. I love it.
I hadn't thought of this, but it's spot on. Guys like RDZ are the ones you naturally respect and follow, he's naturally confident, he doesn't need a uni degree to know he's a leader.
You get the feeling he'd never get defensive and snippy about a handful of fans booing like Potter did, he'd either not give a shit or properly go on the offensive if it pissed him off.

If you plotted it on a graph Potter would be closer to the incel section than the alpha!

He seemed a little bit niggly today, hopefully, he will settle down and not get any red cards for the rest of the season.
