I think you have not been to Albania. If you had, you would not make your comment. Massive corruption, virtually no welfare or health system, woman treated worse than dogs. I think people are not happy because they have unrealistic expectations of life. They feel down so they spend, this leads to debt so they feel more down and turn to other things. I think as a society we need to be realistic about our lives. If there is a problem and you can fix it do so. If not accept and learn to take pleasure from the simple things around you.

What would be common sense for this matter out of interest?

Would like to see him in place of Dasilva

When will be bring back he's one of our own for some of our kids from the under 21's always gets some volume

Surely that's why they have a family section. If you don't sit there it's probably because of a lack of atmosphere. to have atmosphere you need noise and yes sometimes there is a bit of swaering. I guess nothing worse than the avearge kid hears in the playground each day.

I think if NP knew how good the other forwards would be this year, he would not have got another year. Hindsight is a wonderful think. On the positive side, for his wage we should be able to attract a decent out of contract player next year.

Why are we surprised by the standard of refereeing? Go to any junior game and the ref gets abuse from the parents all game. Move up to youth and players feel free to treat the referee in a way that if it occurred in the work place they would be fired on the spot. Move to adult football and the ref gets verbal abuse and often the threat of physical abuse. Why would anybody take up refereeing? Far less do nowadays and so we have a smaller pool. No surprise that the quality is low. I think we need a major change from the top to the bottom. Only captains can talk to the ref. Any abuse from players is not tolerated, any abuse from the parents of spectators at amateur level and the game is abandoned and if the abuse is repeated the club is suspended for a year. Nobody in any walk of life should have to put up with the treatment referees get. They are human. They turn out at the weekend to get some exercise and enjoy being part of the game they love and get paid almost nothing. If we want better referees we need more, to get more we have to treat them in a better way. End of rant.

I think Max is far superior dealing with crosses, distributes the ball far better and the back line seems more calm in front of him. Considering the difference in wage,for me Max is the future and Bentley should be off in Jan or the end of the season as his wage could be better spent elsewhere in the team.

I think as long as we stay up we are building. This team reminds me of the team in the 70's that got us into Division 1. The talent is raw at the moment and we need some more experience but the team spirit is great. NP has changed the culture and if we are patient I think good things will come. Priority for me it making crosses more productive both by the quality of delivery and the positioning of players in the box.

From the team he picked and the way they played perhaps mentally he is still with Brighton?

When we leave a fast player up the pitch most times the opposition mark him with 2 players. I would like to see us leave 2 up the field standing on half way on each touch line. I think the opposition would bring at least 3 back and each time Max catches the ball a break is on.

Teach them how to beat their man when 1 on 1 and actually cross to someone. It drives me crazy when DaSilva finds himself 1 on 1 and still passes inside. If he can't beat a man and cross why is he in the side?

I think there are 2 main factors a) Teams have worked us out and don't leave any space in behind. They know when we have a lot of possession with no spaces to run into, we become frustrated and negative. At this point we are easy to take on the break or we lose the ball in our half. b) Conway has lost his zip, either because is tired or he thinks he has arrived and so runs less.

I think we went to zonal marking because NP said we had too many unreliable markers

If you want more people to sing it make the song simpler. I don't really want to buy a lyrics sheet to be able to join in

Clearly he is a total hand full with a great shot in both feet. I hope our coaches can help him to close down without getting so many fouls awarded against him and improve his first touch when the ball is played to him with his back to goal. Sounds picky but with a bit of polishing he could be prem quality easily.

No offence taken

I think Bentley has 2 weak points. a) coming off of his line to claim or punch crosses b) distribution. Clearly he far more comfortable to hit it long that play a shorter ball. I thought as per last season the defence looks more confident in front of Max. Having said that Bentley is a great shot stopper and great with one on ones. I think his dropping sent the right message to the team and Max should stay in until his form drops

I had the same. I called and got the seat I wanted no problems

Frankly I am not too interested in spending a bunch of money to improve the experience of away supporters at that end. I would rather see us hang onto our young stars and make a meaningful promotion challenge

When Kalas is back why not play him as defensive midfielder

What a mess if they go down!!

I think the Queen was a "carry on with life" type person. For me I am very sad that this great person has left us but better to celebrate her life than mourn her loss. I would think it would be great if each game could start 10 mins later and use those 10 mins via the big screen or P.A system to remember her life ending with the national anthem and 1 minutes perfectly respected silence. I would hope than even the most indifferent fans would respect the occasion and take part or just keep quiet.

We improved massively in this area when Max was included last year

Firstly if we don't sell Scott and Semenyo now we will be forced to sell them for a discount when they get closer to the end of their contract. So let's say we do sell, how would we attract some quality players within our wage structure considering we are a struggling team close to the bottom of the table. My fear is that we would make a snap decision and end up with yet another journeyman looking for a retirement plan.
