Dicker admits Albion were simply not good enough (From The Argus)

Our home record is better than Reading’s away record, so we should be able to go in to the game with some confidence knowing we are unbeaten at the Amex this year.

What is needed is self beief not self pity. Pull yourself together and get on with it. There are five games to go

Disappointed by some fans' reaction. We are still there with a chance and you can be sure the lads will give it their all on Tuesday. I would suggest that some people take a few reality pills but given the distance we have travelled in the last couple of years with Gus I'm still rubbing my eyes in disbelief...........
.....

Don't care if we win or lose, just turn on the style and enjoy your football. Forget about Burnley, forget about promotion, just go out and play the beautiful game the 'sexy' (south american) way.

I think Gus has learnt a massive amount this season, his idea we can play with 7 players who are not strong types has been found out, however the fact he has rebuilt the side this season, while trying to gain promotion is fantastic.. we have seen the club trying to play the "right way" and that if you can remember two and a bit years ago, we had the worst coaching staff in the country.. No scouting network and no stadium.. For gods sake win tomo and things will look mighty differently.. I dont think we are top 6 with the set up as it is.. next year will be a lot better.

Well that's it now. We will not win another game this season and looking at the remaining fixtures I can't see us even scoring another point.
Get real everybody, if we can't beat Burnley who have NOTHING to play for we have no chance against Reading, West Ham etc who have got something to play for.
Better luck next year.

Didn't like the look of the side with our 3 wingers on the bench. Attack is the best means of defence, albeit with some caution. We need to be positive against Reading and the fans will have to be at their most patient too. 3 points on Tuesday, yes.

3 points on Tuesday? You must be mad. More like the biggest loss of the season, probably 5 or 6-0. Get real WE ARE RUBBISH!!

I am so proud of everything we have achieved this season. TB, GP, MT and the entire squad have done a fantastic job. We have come along long way TOGETHER and if we stay together who knows what we can achieve. There is no pressure on us, lets go out and play our game without fear and enjoy the last five of the Season, I still fancy us for a play off place. I cannot wait for Tuesday night, lets make it an electric atmosphere!!

Did someone gorge themselves on Easter eggs resulting in a chocolate rush of ****ocks?

Shame that the Man City loanees ESP Razak hasn't worked out - could have made the difference.

Idiot,stick to pruning your box hedging!
That said, I agree with Mark BTS, we are not quite good enough for the play offs this time around. We are a very good side but play off sides have that extra strength and and are more clinical in front of goal. If we do not make it (and with the Albion, who knows) then it will be because of our quality in front of goal all season which has been the stumbling block. Either way, a great season and one to be proud of, just fed up it has to end soon!!

hi agree in that forget promotion, the Amex faithfull never get on their backs so there really isnt any pressure, only that which the players put on themselves. Enjoy it give 100% and at the worst look forward to being a top four side going for promotion next year. We are all very proud of you you have superceeded 99% of peoples expectations already. Gus will be learning a lot about himself and the division over the next few weeks and will be better prepared, as would the club as a whole to challenge for automatic promotion. Downside? Stains getting promotion but hey whats the betting we are swapping places with them next year if we dont quite make it this. Come on Albion, you deserve to enjoy these last few games and teams already relegated play much better when they can enjoy it.

I agree with most comments--except Hove park etc. But if we cannot beat Burnley and convincingly, then to go up to the Premier Div and come up against man U Man City Liverpool etc and try and beat them, is a tall ask this time around. Consider this, we were never expecting to be this high up in this league and to get to where we are IS a real achievment. Lets build on this--as I am sure Gus and co feel, and try and get in one or two CLASS players in preparation for a real push next season. Rome was not built in a day, but when it was, what a beautiful place it was. Similarly, if we continue to build for the future we can then really compete in the Top League. I think BHA players, although tinged with a little disappointment if they do not get into the play-offs, can hold their heads up high and be proud of their first season at The Amex. Onwards and upwards lads.

You did read the article right? He says at the end they can't sit around and feel sorry for themselves, they have to win on Tuesday. I don't think self-pity has come into it.

Sorry Seagulls fans but obviously the truth hurts.

I think you must be the sad act if you can't see the obvious. Brighton fans really are a bit simple aren't they.

So why didn't West Ham beat Burnley two weeks ago??

No... you are a sad person with too much time on your hands.

Man up, say what team you support and then get a better hobby.

bad luck to the team going down at burnley. When you need it most things don't seem to go your way. Just forget it and give the next 5 games your all. Us fans are right behind you and willing you on even from far away. You can still pull it off.
Fingers crossed for you boys
Your south african fan.
