5-1 drubbing or purging?

[twickers]

If our worst is a baseline for what we need to improve on then actually McGhee isn't at all far off.

It feels great to get this 5-1 drubbing out of the system. It's been amazing the performances, draws and low scores against us so far this season with what we've got and only one real drubbing away against the team at the top. Big deal. It's like getting a big dry pooh finally out...painful, but at the same time a purging releif. It can't get worse, indeed get it out the way before the New Year and the striker Santa is delivering us.

If you've been a Brighton fan you'll remember away drubbings when they wern't surprises. I'll take one every 5 months and stay in the Championship versus those days. Some of the miserable fecks on here want to cheer up.

Exactly what I think, it's not like we get pile drived week in week out.

 

[El Presidente]

Hull and Millwall were always going to be far bigger games than Reading. It is now down to McGhee to lift the squad up and ensure we get 4 points from those two games at least, and then a point from one of Saints or Luton

It's the point I tried (clearly very badly) to put across on another thread. It's really not that bad this season - very rarely been outplayed - but some people only look at the headlines.

... or listen to the radio.

We always seem to get one drubbing a year, usually at Brentford, but I'd much rather get walloped by a team at the top 17 points clear of 3rd place than one down the bottom.

5-1 to fellow relegation strugglers Plymouth was the bassline for McGhee.

We shouldn't be even giving today a second thought given the circumstances of the game, the unusual selection by McGhee, the dismissal, the comedy penalty, etc.

It gets serious now with these series of winnable home games, we need a couple of wins by the new year.

Sound sensible comments on this thread.
I thought Gary Elphick did well against skilful and strong players.
Paul Taylor has been a poor referee for a long time. He makes a lot of good decisions but then makes one or two very bad decisions that can affect the result.
Tommy Elphick could be the next Virgs but don't tell some of the clowns on here or they'll treat him as they did Dan Harding.

Or Jake Robinson, or in fact any emerging player who doesn't deliver within half a dozen games.

Funny you should say that, I was reminding a freind tonight of the god awful game at Brentford that I thought couldn't get any worse until that girl came running from the Brentford end, after another Brentford goal, in the second half to Brighton away, pulled down her pants to bare her arse at us and to top it off flipped us all the bird between her legs.

 

[Yorkie]

That Plymouth game last season was awful, far worse than today. We didn't even get one point that month.

 

[twickers]

I do remember that and getting irritated by Micky Evans hair cut. It was one of those matches.

Actually today I would have been happy for any experiment by McGhee. I wouldn't care if the team came out wearing FA approved soft antlers. Today of all days was the day to experiment.

 

[dougdeep]

We need to be beating the teams in the lower half of the league. It makes sense to shuffle the pack against the ones we have no chance of catching.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Ouch! A 5-1 drubbing always hurts but actually I've never felt less bruised by such a big defeat.

We push on from here.

you are excepting that shit? mcghee cost brighton any chance in that game with his disney formation

Phew - I thought I was losing my love for the team - I felt so un-down after the game. Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

Any chance of what? They weren't relegation rivals like Plymouth were last season.
If we had lost like that to Millwall or Coventry then I would feel a lot more despondent.
We were outclassed yesterday. You buy class and we haven't got that luxury.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

But it's always handy if you don't handicap yourself with a joke formation. Reading, of all teams, don't need McGhee's clowning help.

 

[Beach Hut]

Still at least McGhee can file this type of formation in the "doesn't work" file and we will never see it again.

On another thread I predicted 5-0 i`m gutted you scored!!!!!
