[Albion] Is FH really performing that badly?

[Dick Swiveller]

Young manager with a young squad and injuries. Hasn't set me alight like de Zerbi but our record against top teams is mightily impressive. I wouldn't be heartbroken if Bloom decides to move on but give him strength in depth with defenders and we could be challenging again next season.

….or just give him the current defenders fully fit.

We need an additional CB with pace.
Webster can do the job but his injury record is cause for concern.

The attendance yesterday may be a cause for concern for those in the high towers still a chance of Europe and people don’t trust Hurzelers football.

You don't need to keep searching for negatives. You can still want him sacked while admitting that yesterday was a good result. It's fine. No-one will think any less of you.

I’ve already said it was nice to win

Nice, some positivity.

How did it feel?

Next one won’t be the same, Europe is potentially back on track. Positivity will be back, long time since I’ve seen NSC so negative about a game pre match yesterday. With good reason in fairness. Yesterday is one of those days that will live long in the memory, well it will in mine anyway.

He's doing quite well in the grand scheme of things. Its just this disastrous drop off in form at the wrong time, as well as 2 injuries in a settled side that's made it look bad. Our hopes of an excellent season and possible champions league spot and Fa cup glory dashed within 4 weeks! For a newbie, 1st season in an unforgiving Premier league, overall, its been good but nothing more than expected with the investment made last summer. Compare that to the likes of Amorin, big Ange, I think Fab is doing pretty well.

Conflicted I presume.

Game had sold out, plus there was some dollar made on the exchange PLUS there were queues outside the Terrqce before the game had even ended….I dont think Barber will be too concerned.

Or play to the strengths of what you have at your disposal?

I loved RDZ but it's easy to overlook how amazing the squad was in that first season. Caicedo, MacAllister, Trossard etc with Colwill, Mitoma and Ferguson breaking through etc. Stick Caicedo and Mac in any team and it's going to look decent. I think Fab is doing ok - certainly too soon to write him off.

He's not performing awful sack 'im levels but with the extra spend and deeper squad I think he should be doing a little bit better - and it's aggravated somewhat that his style of football looks more haphazard and hence uglier. But the next two games will clarify things on this count I reckon, has to get at least one win otherwise the broader mood is going to darken again

I’ve been so disappointed with our fan base this year, or at least those on NSC. We used to be respected because we knew our history and appreciated the journey travelled. We had a sense of still being proper fans not glory chasers. Now we are becoming self-entitled dickheads. And not just the newbies. Some who really really have forgotten where we have been and what we’ve achieved - reminds me of the likes of Tottenham and Leeds. Really disappointing

Oh I will, I think he's a bit of a **** and just wants Brighton to fail WHOEVER is in charge, so he can be edgy. All just a bit 'look at me' really!

And Pascal Gross, who, incidentally, was at the game, watching.

I'm honestly more disappointed when Brighton fans call other Brighton fans dickheads just for having different views about our football

Hindsight is a lovely thing. Many of the players you’ve mentioned improved immeasurably under him.
