[Albion] AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Icy Gull]

@Icy ... every cloud and all that. If we drop, I’ll go to all 23 home games with pleasure, I’d look forward to us having a bloody good chance of actually winning.

Would you feel the same?

The PL hype and obsession is a bit ridiculous at times.

Only Bloom will pay the price for this.

I’ll be there if we drop three divisions!

 

[portlock seagull]

I'd take relegation.

I wouldn't. Took 34 years to get back and we're going down without so much of a whimper. If someone can keep us up, I'd take it tomorrow. Sams a specialist in this scenario. Potter most certainly isn't.

 

[DavidRyder]

As it stands, we’re through on away goals...god I’m fed up

 

[GingerBeerMan]

We can't make four substitutions.

We can if it goes to extra time

 

[Weststander]

At least the 15/8 Bournemouth win softens they blow

I forgot to do my regular insurance bet, sod it.

Fans showing emotion?

Heaven ****ing forbid..

Yes, but we do have another 14 matches to play yet and some are pissing, pooing and screaming until they are sick.

Post match bingo:

"we weren't our best"
"got to look at the positives"
"we need to take our chances"

The problem is pace, pace and more pace.We must be the slowest team in the EPL.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Why is potter blindsided by Webster? And what has Murray done to his wife ffs

People who don’t understand fans getting emotional after a result like this don’t understand football.

Absolutely. I'm trying so hard not to get pissed off at its so classicly Brighton, but its bloody hard not to throw toys out of the pram. Absolutely everyone in the build ups (talksport, stelling and co etc) were saying how absolute pony bournemouth have been. Howe even said the other day he doesn't even know what's going wrong. We've just conceded 3 against them in terrible fashion. That is absolutely desperate stuff.

They were a very good team

Gotta be something to do with the £20m price tag.

Bristol must be laughing all the way to the bank..

Yeh, we've not had anyone since Izquierdo got that injury in the World Cup.

 

[Nixonator]

Abysmal. Utterly abysmal.

 

[vagabond]

Sack him and get Big Sam in tomorrow and we've have a chance of retaining our PL status. Apart from Ghostbusters, who else can we call? We need a proven PL manager with nouse and the ability to get the best out of these players. I reckon Murray would start shooting us out of trouble under such a manager. Propper and Stephens meanwhile would be on their way out. Got to act now though.

Is it Potters fault that he’s got such a mediocre squad of dross tho?

We have a specialist recruitment department and we’re stuck with 36 year old Murray backing up a Championship striker. I like Maupay but that’s the harsh truth. I don’t entirely blame the manager for this.

Potter and his team selections getting some flack on NSC tonight. But what about Dan Ashworth? - I'm curious as to his influence on our 'progress' (or not).

He’s the root of the problem IMO. Never been a fan of ‘consultants’

 

[RandyWanger]

***** Kev didn't need to send one of ours off tonight. With Propper and Stevens playing together it's like being a man down, they just don't play well together.

I honestly don't know what he brings to the table. I've seen no improvement. Another bloke being paid a bloody huge wage for a Championship club.

 

[portlock seagull]

Starting to wonder if we might benefit from going down. We can then have a clear out of Stephens, Bong, Montoya and Webster. Get Knocky back too.

Just like Stoke? Bolton? Huddersfield? Cardiff? Sunderland? Yeah, clubs always come good after they've had a chance to clear out the deadwood. It helps being in the Championship because all the best players want to play there...

 

[Weststander]

I wouldn't. Took 34 years to get back and we're going down without so much of a whimper. If someone can keep us up, I'd take it tomorrow. Sams a specialist in this scenario. Potter most certainly isn't.

He always insists on spending big on proven players in the Jan window, he did that when he kept Smellhurst up.

Just days left in the window.

It’s a non starter.
