Yep, also just got three, minimum of fuss and plenty left

Hoping for 14-16, happy with Dalek, fear it will be 18-20 unless we do something about our defence

I think lower mid table (that's 11th to 15th btw) is perfectly feasible as long as most of our new signings come off. If Rickie and Adam can perform as well as I hope then even top half is possible. BUT its a fine line (just 2 or 3 wins) between comfort and being embroiled in the relegation battle.

Actually we weren't 'officially' promoted until the last game in 66, 78 and 11. Each time it would have needed a freak result to stop us going up. Hopefully we will make absolutely certain tomorrow. By the way I was there in 78 and 11. My brother was there in 66, does that count?

Lallana's always going to be the sort of player who is brilliant one minute, frustrating the next. As long as the brilliant bits keep coming that's fine by me. The really BIG failing is not scoring enough goals. He has/makes himself enough chances to score as many as Rickie and his failure to score in the last two home games may be the difference between being Champions and also rans this year.

Lots of names on this thread I agree were much better than expected, special mention to Case and Crouch but the all time winner has to be: Chrissie Marsden Football Genius

I thought the chant we shoulld have sung yesterday was "It'll be nice when it's finished" Outside it looked fine and they have done a good job at making it not too obtrusive against the South Downs but inside it does look poor and the raking is too shallow at the away end - to fit in hospitality boxes above I assume reading about their expansion plans in the programme. Generally I thought the stadium had been 'oversold', i.e. a vast improvement on the Withdean but not great (yet) and the themed colour scheme idea was a joke , it seemed to consist of 1 or 2 lights! Lastly there catering people were nice and friendly but not very efficient, I ordered a Steak and Ale pie and got a burger!

Luckily its half term so my wife and I can go, couldn't make it last year so a new one for us, and we're picking son up from Uni on the way!

I agree Saint Richmond that we were not playing well at the time County gave away the penalty but over the whole game up to then we had more possession and had played the better football. Our problem as usual was making it count. After the sending off there is no doubt about the better team. So (allowing for the fact I'm biased) I can see how a neutral might have rated the players pretty even but from the look of it those were the ratings of a Notts County fan
