Booooo - really wanted West Ham. Our midfielder Alan Judge's reaction to that draw:

zzzzzzzzzz
Whenever I watch the draw live and we're still in the hat when teams like Rotherham and Scunthorpe are drawn out at home, I get incredibly dismayed knowing that our number is going to follow them!
Me too... As soon as Derby were drawn at home I shouted out 'oh ffs!'.. Then again with Millwall, and Rotherham
Very boring to draw a team from your division but as I said, don't mind in this case, in fact it works out perfectly for me!
Good stuff - you going to go?

Boro are too inconsistent in the final third to win the Championship (It's more when we go behind, when do we ever come back and win? It's rare we're doing that at home, let alone away. We seem to want to grind out results especially away. But then we get the Millwall result, and it's far from the norm, a cracking 5-1 Win. Hopefully Vossen's No1 for now, and maybe he'll smash the goals in), that said. All teams drop points, a win against Derby on Saturday and points dropped by others, and it's first place Boro.
Derby I can see getting promoted, likely to be the winners of the league to be honest, or at least second place.

I really hope so. I've got nothing against him, but his record speaks for itself. He is so tactically clueless.
Tonight is what I have been watching all season. Being outplayed by really poor teams that in the last 2 seasons we would have brushed aside. At no point in tonight's game did we look even remotely like scoring. Texeiera looks ok in flashes, but has no end-product, Darren Bent is Darren Bent...Give him service and he'll bang them in, but we basically just bang it up to him and hope he will score! The midfield is incredibly lightweight.
If Sami stays, which I think he will unless he resigns as we are trying very hard to not be a sacking club, I think we are certainties to go down. I don't look at any opponent and say 'yeah, we'll beat them'.
Honestly, I'd have Rosler for the rest of the season, even though he messed up at Wigan...Hope that Wigan was the anomaly on his CV, and not Brentford!(most talk is of Pulis, but no chance of that, he go to a Premiership club)
I'd advise against Rosler. He's a nice guy and approaches everything with a respectable honesty, but he's not the manager to save a team from relegation. He changes winning teams just for the sake of it, and has trouble inspiring players. Wigan was a good move for him, as his family are based up there, but a move to BHA would see him only spending some of the time on the south coast whilst heading back home to Manchester 2-3 days a week. It's essential for a manager to be based locally, and he told us he'd move his family down to London but decided to keep them up there.
He's a manager that needs a huge support platform underneath him in order to perform, and also is woefully unconnected in footballing circles, meaning that he has trouble sourcing and signing players based in the UK. His three big summer signings in Delort, Forshaw and Riera have delivered zip so far this season, but cost around £10m between them!
For BHA I'd go for an established Championship manager who can get the best out of players, a motivator whom can also play effective football. But no one comes to mind!
Looking forward to my trip down there next month, not been to the stadium before, but I'm sure it'll be a damn sight better than the Withdean!
