Brighton fan engagement efforts in a nutshell

For sure, just thought the stats were somewhat encouraging. There's room for improvement but it's not a terrible place to be.

Worth noting we have faced the joint-fifth fewest shots this season, 21 - as many as Villa. Only Liverpool (19), Spurs (19), City (17), and Forest (17) have faced fewer. The issue at the moment is that we've conceded 8 goals, or 38% of shots faced, about as many as Villa (9) but more than...

Not trying to encourage a pile-on here, but Kami Doyle - who is only a year younger than Enciso and has no known relationship with Caicedo or anyone else at Chelsea except possibly Lavia - has liked at least three Chelsea players' posts celebrating Saturday's result and isn't catching anywhere...

It can't help that as far as I recall Baleba had less license to make marauding runs into the final third under RDZ, so EA probably had less to go off of when it came to calculating his pace. But I might be ignorant of how they come up with these figures.

The paciest CBs in the game are: St. Juste at Sporting (93), Bombito at Nice (91), Magloire at Northampton (90), Haliti at Jagiellonia (89), Blackmon at Whitecaps (88), Lacroix at Palarse (88), Van de Ven (88 as stated), Neumann at Hannover (87), Balker at Huddersfield (87), and Coulibaly at...

That's almost always the case in my experience.

See above. For reference, Boscagli's pace score is 67, which makes him as pacy as Igor.

FWIW the new FIFA gives our CBs the following pace scores: 67 for Igor, 59 for Ed Turns, 55 for JPVH, 54 for Veltman (can play RCB), 54 for Webster, and 41 for Dunk. https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/ratings?gender=0&team=1808&orderBy=pac:desc Webster's pace score has fallen by 15, Veltman's...

Like I said, you'll probably get another chance to buy a ticket closer to matchday so provided you're able to leave it late just keep an eye on the tickets page and/or this thread.

Where tickets for an away game are likely to sell out within minutes of going on sale to your tier, "select best available" is your best bet. FWIW I found out the hard way, too! I wouldn't despair, though, you'll be eligible to buy any tickets that become available between now and matchday and...

At least he overlapped with Caicedo. Kami Doyle didn’t! http://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/kamari-doyle.406011/post-11309764

He was told to kill himself?

Absolutely brilliant start and I hope he features every week. But he’d do well to stop giving away cheap penalties!

So is Doyle a Chelsea fan? Because he’s liked Palmer and Sancho’s Instagram posts hailing yesterday’s result. (Edit: Make that three posts.)

OK, I’ve now listened to Fabi’s post match interview, and he doesn’t think this was one to change his tactics for. Just that we should have executed the high line better. :shrug: I’d like a bit more tactical flexibility but again it could just be that the team is not familiar enough with his...

Indeed, but given they were, in both instances. No doubt he’ll learn from it, but we are taking enough risks as it is, no need to give away cheap penalties as well.

Haven’t read or posted in the match thread so apologies if this point has been made to death but Palmer’s first goal looked a certainty as soon as Dunk decided he’d rather retreat to our goal and attempt a goal line clearance than keep marking his man. Palmer was given so much space (and time...

No, and he has been excellent in attack, but surely someone on Fabi’s team is planning to have a word with him about giving away penalties. When was the last time the same Albion player conceded penalties in back to back matches?

What confuses me is, Fabi built a reputation at St Pauli for being adaptable tactically, knowing when to play one way and when to play another way depending on the opposition. We’ve not really seen this yet at Brighton, and hopefully it comes through sooner rather than later — not because the...
