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

[Weststander]

Pitch looks smaller for intricate movement. Maybe its the camera angle

The main camera is on their top row of seats, 8 Lego blocks up.

Incredibly short memories.

Erasing 28 mins, because Plucky were good for a later 17.

Yeah - can't believe some of the comments! We're far too spoilt - certainly not at our best and sloppy spell but still some very, very slick, quick passing - it's a joy to watch. It's been a great game!

Bmuff have set a trap for us with Veltman.

Allowing him to advance 60 yards upfield over and over (never seen him so high up), then counter attacking with a speed merchant waiting on their left at the half way line.

Interesting to see if RDZ has noticed and is bothered.

Agreed. It looked quite obvious so I’m sure he will do something. I wonder if he’ll drop Gross back in there as he seems a fan of his at RB. Guess it will all depend on Mac Allister’s injury. If he goes off and with no Lallana, we suddenly look a bit lightweight in centre midfield.

Only listening on the radio here, but the impression I’m getting from the commentators is that we’re sloppy in possession. They singled Veltman out, but from reading here it sounds like our midfield are equally culpable.

Hoping we can regroup, put the game to bed early and “ole” our way to the final whistle.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Good to mix it up but too many long balls in that half.

 

[dolphins]

Ali Mac back out for the second half. Good news.

 

[oldboyroy]

Get a 2nd and reckon we'll win at a canter

 

[Triggaaar]

I wish solly when having a shot on goal actually hits it harder than a 6 year old would

Yeah, that boy never scores

Always the way - people remember the later part of the game/half.
Like when a team get absolutely hammered in the first half but have the better of the second, everybody comes away saying they deserved to win.

Everyone keeps saying that, Radio Sussex have given a false impression. Caicedo, Dunk and Gross kept passing to Bmuff players in that last 17 mins.

Well spotted.

I really hope RDZ has a fix. I think the game is bypassing Groß for some reason. Perhaps he is expendable but Veltman needs to be deeper.

 

[maltaseagull]

Great move and Ferguson nearly finished it.

 

[Si Gull]

Ferguson close!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Fergie close

They’ve done an awful lot of running. They won’t be able to keep up this pressure after 70mins. I just hope we keep them out until them. They were good at the Amex and they’re good tonight.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Exactly - who cares if it’s messy - results, results, results

managed to get a stream too just as we scored -

As long as we keep winning, I'm happy for us to save all our quality for Forest away.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

So sloppy from Mitoma

 

[GT49er]

Get a 2nd and reckon we'll win at a canter

Yeh ....................... like that always happens!

Yeh ....................... like that always happens!

Only ever works like that if we're playing West Ham.

 

[Si Gull]

Couple of close ones for them. Nervy.
