[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

[BN41Albion]

Another frustrating afternoon ahead with Forest playing with everyone behind the ball, killing the game at every opportunity maybe hoofing the ball long to try and nick a goal and obviously feigning head injuries at any given moment.

Can't wait!

Just leaving for Nottingham.

Hopefully we don't do another Ipswich and put our chances away. Eager to see the team as some of the big hitter come back from injury. Hope to see pervis, Ferdi and Weiffer all in. That would really pull up our average age and seasoned pro levels.

Need to keep on the front foot but tidy up some of the defensive wobbles and that consistent period mid game of ceding possession and losing our rythm.

I can see either a comfortable win or another annoying hard fought draw. I think they have some good options on the break.

Or a loss then? Think you’ve got most bases covered now.

Really ?
History says we beat them both Home AND Away last season.

Where have I mentioned his record against Forest? I wouldn't have had Forest down as 'one of those teams' last season, they're much better organised defensively under Nuno and more likely to be able to pull the same trick as Ipswich did.

I'm referring to the teams that turn up hell-bent on getting a point and us having no answer. Burnley, Sheff U, Everton and the like.

They are no longer a bottom three side so the jinx doesn’t apply. If we turn up, with scoring boots on …. We will be ok

Bad omens this morning - our cat has puked over night all over my Brighton towel.

If we lose the game then the cat gets it!

Should be an easy tree points today.

If we win, you'll wash it and keep it for yourself?

 

[Blues Guitarist]

I’d be more than a little disappointed if any reds act up today, we supposed to have left that behaviour back in the 80’s.

Any mindless idiots don’t represent the rest of us .

 

[RandyWanger]

It’s going to be a wet one. not the best for tippy tippy vs park the bus and hoof it down the field ball

 

[Dick Head]

Should be an easy tree points today.

Did you log on just to say that?

 

[Hometownglory]

Not confident about this one. Hopefully we can be more clinical than last week and their keeper isn't on such top form!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I've got a feeling about this one

I've got....

 

[portslade seagull]

Hopefully a win today for my dear old Dad who passed away on Wednesday at the grand old of 90. He is the reason I love the albion due to introducing me when I was 6 even though he was spurs through and through

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Massive game for Fab, fail to win this and the pressure will be on him, couldn’t beat Ipswich and if we don’t beat forest too then we could be in a whole world of hurt. Lose then expect the experiment to be over and he will be gone by the morning.

I think if we score first, score early, we win. It will open up the pitch as they'll have to come out to score a goal. And I'm confident if we score first, we'll score another at some stage of the match.

But, as everyone on here knows, we ain't so hot against teams that play predominantly 'on the break' football.

See it being a 1-1 draw personally

Loads of tickets still available.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Not confident about this one. Hopefully we can be more clinical than last week and their keeper isn't on such top form!

I predict the following:

1. Forest play a low block.
2. Forest’s keeper has a worldie.
3. Forest score at least one.

Still think we’ll win though!
