West Brom must be laughing their tits off taking 2.5m off us for BTA and going top of the league.

but hey our expectations are too high

They’ve had a big turnover in players, top of the league

top six should be the expectation and 5 points from 5 games is so far off it’s alarming

annoying how robins goes oh it’s what we do start slow and get into a groove, why is that just the norm/excuse that oh we’re cov city we always start slow

I’ve no doubt we’ll grow into the season. Just frustrating that we’ll have top 4 form 15 games onwards knowing it’ll just about push 6th

 

[Skybluekyle]

And I say Derby County's best left-back is Craig Forsyth!

Callum Elder!

Corberan is a really, really good manager. Probably the best in the league.

West Brom have a solid defence - don;t concede much - not sure that they have a lot of strength in depth though, so any injuries might be a problem for them as the season develops.

Sounds much like a certain losing playoff finalist a few seasons ago

Wonder how long it will take teams to start hacking Ohashi to pieces, Sakamoto style.

 

[Sbarcher]

Looks like Stoke are back on the hunt for a new manager.

They always seem to be on the lookout for a new manager, they should go for the West Brom manager

He's a bigger lad to be fair, looks really good

 

[fernandopartridge]

Jon Walters is Stoke's director of football and apparently made the decision. Reading the Stoke forum their fans are utterly deluded about what they are, they're a bit like we were by the time we appointed Chris Coleman.

I doubt he'd go there, why would he?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Money both personally and to spend

Eh? Not even mentioning the fact they are top of the league Albion are a miles bigger club than Stoke

Stoke who are backed by one of the richest families in the UK who don’t worry about spending a few quid against West Brom who had to sell their leading scorer last year to balance the books.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Losing to Stoke was such a shit result. They are a mess.

They spend money but they don't spend it well do they, Stoke are shite and a bit of a basket case he would be mad to jump ship to go there

So if they got the right man to spend it and who could set them up well they would be ok. West Brom are like a swan

Some racial stereotyping here.

What on Earth are you on about?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Glad you asked, I couldn't make that link either.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Worth noting that two years on the spin when an actually racist Sakamoto joke has been made, he’s been nowhere to be seen.

 

[Grendel]

Well you made the link as he’s Japanese I assume? He is 6 foot tall

 

[baldy]

Ermm no - he was referring to how Saka got hacked to pieces last season - no racist jibes whatsoever

That's some numbers for Mowatt!

Many of them are aren't they?

I made the link because Sakamoto impressed a lot for us last season and was clearly targeted by other teams.

I assume you will be withdrawing the ridiculous accusation of racism?

Ahead of us in the league though

so what are we?

Saka while not 6ft is 5ft 7 so it's not like he is in the Dembele/Gomes league of shortness.

 

[robbiethemole]

Or JDS and the Kelly-Evans’s

So if his name was Matty Godden you would have drawn the same conclusion?

You came to the conclusion as he was Japanese and associated the same attributes and limitations on our Japanese player. It’s not racism it is stereotyping

The nationality is a coincidence.

What wasn’t a coincidence was the racist joke repeated twice about Sakamoto-you chose not to comment on that but have pulled up on this.

What a surprise.
