Poyet "right place right time"

[Goring Gull]

I am starting to wonder wether he was lucky to join us when he did - I believe almost any boss would have managed what he did, It was "our moment" new stadium on the way etc that proppelled us on, destiny so to speak. Has the situation made many think he is actually better than he is?
Say he joined us now we have the new stadium and are mid table would he have a similar impact.

He joined us a year and a half before we moved stadiums with us in the bottom 4 of League 1. I genuinely don't understand the need to belittle Poyet's achievements to justify wanting him out now.

 

[Goring Gull]

I don't want him out, as i have no idea who would come in and replace him, i just feel it was always going to happen with the new stadium on the way back then.

If any manager could have done it, why didn't slade?

No, it wasn't something that was nothing to do with poyet. He had the necessary skills to do what he did. Are there otherswho also had those skills? Almost certainly. Does that detract from Poyet's achievements? Absolutely not.

Nope. We could easily gave gone the other way, and have a half-empty new stadium in division 4

Spot on.

Poyet completely transformed the playing side. Look at El Abd. Who honestly thought that we would see him regularly starting and playing well in a Championship side who have serious promotion aspirations? The general consensus was that he was a league 1 or 2 clogger at best. How many other managers could have done that?

We're going through another rough patch at the moment and the negativity is as bad as ever. It will turn around and we'll be good again, and then guess what, we'll go through another rough patch and all the negativity will be back again. But we'll still finish no lower than we did last year, I don't understand why people can't see it. Are all the moaners this negative about everything in their lives? It must be a pretty miserable existence.

Late contender for bad post of the year. Some stiff competition in the last few hours and , whilst this is good, it may not be quite stupid enough. I suggest a repost early in the New Year.

I'll keep it in mind

You never win a league championship by luck especially the margin we won by and the fact we hit top spot in October and stayed there throughout.

Quite. They must spend so much time slitting their wrists, it's amazing they have any blood left.

Sit back and enjoy the ride, whatever happens - it's football.

When you look back the 2010/11 side contained players of a calibre far above League 1 standard, Bennett, Noone, Murray etc so no wonder we bossed that league along with Southampton. A bit like the Mickey Adams side with Zamora which won League 2 back in 2001, that contained players like Zamora that were far too good for that league

good one

 

[Chesney Christ]

Yes, you are SO right.

Having spent the previous season and a half constantly in the bottom six, to come in and secure us a comfortable mid-table position followed by us walking the league the next season without spending much money is the LEAST we should have expected. If anything, we should have actually come HIGHER than first and at least won either the FA Cup or League Cup. Piss poor, Gus. Piss poor.

Its a terrible post, but you cannot honestly say this is worse than the guy who suggested Kuzszack is the problem?

Pragmatic and rational.

Well done that man!

Worst was the caller on radio yesterday who suggested its going to be another wasted season (under poyet)...eh?

Unbelievable.

We're not very good at the moment. But we're not very bad either. And, in context compared to seasons gone by - not just at Withdean - we're still very decent indeed.

Something does need freshening up because we've gone from being a hair's breadth of battering teams to deserving to lose the last 2 games (albeit without our best player yesterday)...but it'll turn around.

Some Brighton fans have an annoying habit of re-writing history when a player leaves or a manager starts having a bad patch.

Gus is going through a bat patch and he is still on a learning curb.Yes he as made some blunders but that is all part of it.The one that should go from the club before he distroys it,is PAUL BARBER
bad news where ever he goes,England Spurs,Vancouver nothing much to show from any of them.
