forever a red and white Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 That title will get the Brighton fans going again... Saturday is a big game. We need to really notch up an away win and if, IF, things go our way could be 8 points clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to really notch up an away win and if, IF, things go our way could be 8 points clear. Unfortunately Boro and Derby play each other so the most we can be ahead is 7 points if these two draw.

red&white56 Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 He's very consistent in his messaging and listening to him gives me confidence that he's the right man to take us back to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 Interesting comments about the value of the pre-season. So much for all those who say its unimportant and that there is no urgency to start preparations early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 So much for all those who say its unimportant and that there is no urgency to start preparations early. To be honest I can't remember anyone saying that. All I can remember is there being a debate around 'we haven't signed a big name yet' and another debate about how important the results are. The preseason under Pardew seemed pretty good at the time (lots of spin on OS) and I was quite happy at the time but once the season got started there were injuries and it seemed pre season was blamed for that. NA clearly has a better relationship with the physios (not surprising really given his background) and has a more measured interpretation of pushing the players hard in pre season - which started the same time as it did under Pardew. The evidence suggests he has got it right. We've learnt. We've moved on. We've got it right. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and hopefully it'll put to bed once and for all the notion that you have to work the players as hard as possible to get them fit. It always was ********, and we've finally had a successful pre-season which has shown that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 I must say, I wasn't exactly overwhelmed when be appointed Adkins but he really has proved any doubters wrong. I like everything about him and he seems the sort of man to have long term. Hope we see a return to the old days when managers stay for over 10 years. I would be delighted if Adkins is in charge for the foreseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 It's got to the stage now were I can pretty much second guess Nigels interviews. Just for once I'd like him to come out and say something like. "Course we can win the league! Did you see west sham the other night? Second best team in the league you're have'n a laugh bloody hoofball merchants. We're f ucking Southampton who f ucking want's some? .....................well maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 I love how they slightly twisted his words here; Southampton were always everyone's cup final and it is the same for us this season. He never actually said that. No wonder Brighton fans think he's arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"blue line" - check "hard working bunch" yep that's there.. "pulling together in the same direction" yep "not about 11 players.." check.. Radio Solent presenters but get very bored of his interviews.. Still think he comes out looking good as a result though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 They seem to not realise the 'cup final' comment was last season. This season he agreed with the reporter that we are there to be shot as, because we're top of the league.

Feck me, have you seen the quality of our football Gustavo? Not much hoofball in there matey. Is this is the Poyet that said people would remember Brighton won the league 1 title for years to come? yet reading the WHU forum before our match the other night a WHU fan said about saints... Also they have just come up and are running on the buzz of winning a lesser division, one blip and the confidence will drain. Very important game this evening Who's going down to the Amex to get our trophy back? Will break poor Poyet's heart that will people forgetting who one last seasons league title.
