Just thinking out the bottom five two will survive after they’ve all been all awful this season, since the PL era began who’s the worse sides to survive in a season? My instant thoughts go to Bradford in 99/00, Albion 04/05 and Hull 08/09

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Us in 09/10.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Us in 09/10.

Were we that bad in 09/10. Sure 10/11 before the great capitulation but first season up we finished 15th and weren't dreadful from recollection. Admittedly I only did a handful of games in one of my lean periods so will defer to your judgement.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Elokobi played. Ouch.

 

[James]

Us in 09/10.

36 goals and performances that would mirror current Brighton. So would have to agree 100% with you

 

[Tony Towner]

Looking back that first half performance against Blackburn with everything that was riding on it was a disgrace

Us in 09/10.

Yep painful to watch towards the end I think West Ham were even worse that year tho

 

[White Wolf]

Did the job in 09/10 even if the football wasn't pretty, West Ham were worse than us that year and I didn't feel like we deserved to go down. Far worse teams than us that year - Hull and Burnley went down on 30 points!

I thought Wigan were utter rubbish in 2010/11, just had a strong run of form towards the end to keep themselves afloat. Pepe Mel's Albion were dire 13/14. Swansea 16/17 (points total really doesn't tell you how much of a mess they were that year), Huddersfield 17/18, Brighton last season

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Huddersfield one up. Please hang on for 86 minutes now.

Albion 1-0 down not great from Johnson

 

[Jack Regan]

Stears still as rash as always, very lucky to not concede a penalty.

 

[Tony Towner]

Albion score a goal that's about 3 yards offside

 

[Jack Regan]

1-1 clanger by Lossl, too busy staring at an offside Albion player to do his job properly.

He's obstructing his view

 

[YoungWolf]

Don’t think he’s near enough to be obstructing him really. Poor from keeper anyway

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Under VAR that doesn’t stand. Bloke in the eyeline is miles off but so is the scorer.

 

[Jack Regan]

He's obstructing his view

Nonsense! He's 12 yards away and makes no movement towards the ball at all. He's standing there before they even take the kick.

The goalscorer is offside though.

Glad you’re not running VAR. Clearly offside, and in line of sight.

He doesn't have to play the ball he needs to be in an offside position obstructing the keepers view which he is

If you watch the goalie’s movement, you can see he is expecting the offside player to touch it, then has to readjust when he doesn’t.
