Brighton & Hove Albion vs Watford ***** Official Match Thread *****

[sir albion]

Not a surprise we're getting beat as the line-up is poor,painter and dicker again tells you gus is not interested in the playoffs,no creativity in the middle again.Just ashame we,ve blown up so badly and in no uncertain terms gone out on a massive wimper.

Barnes sounds like he is having a shocker in every respect and ought to come off but with no out and out striker on the bench that seems unlikely. Vicente surely has to come on but for who? Dicker?

Barnes played up front on his own on Saturday so take him off and play CMS on his own and take Dicker off now!

Come on Albion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Muzzy]

This result will hurt more than Saturday's if things stay as they are (which I think they will)...... How much do goals actually cost these days

 

[NMH]

With Buckley and Lua Lua on the pitch we should be giving Watford a torrid time.
I don't get it

Painter off - Vincelot on - not sure on that myself

 

[brakespear]

Vincelot on for Painter. OK.

 

[saafend_seagull]

vincelot for painter - think that is the end of his brighton career.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Vincelot on , Painter off , cheers from the Albion crowd.

Tactics and selection. f***ing shocking.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

...gus is not interested in the playoffs

Really? You reckon Gus is throwing in the towel and doesn't want us to reach the playoffs?

Gus OUT if that is the case.

Vincelot on , Painter off , cheers from the Albion crowd.

Poor chap. I wouldn't feel particularly enamoured by our home support if that was the reaction.

 

[sir albion]

Assulin should be on and vicente grrrrrr

Gus OUT if that is the case.

Do you reckon Gus hasn't thrown in the towel? Why else put in a keeper who hasn't even been good enough for the bench so far?

 

[brunswick]

gus is obviously looking at players to make the supreme judgement on them.......bit naughty to do it in a league game, but hey-ho up to him.

i would rather painter and dicker play today if it means we get rid of them, more than if we kept them and they let us down next season.

these games are like pre-season really - gus knows that......but no-one can tell the paying fans.

Were they ironic cheers based on the frankly dull substitution?

Spot on.
Many on NSC identified Painter & Dicker (and others) as NOT Championship class many moons ago.
Hopefully Gus will make the hard decisions this Summer in getting rid of the players that will prevent progression. No room for sentiment.

The Dicker-loyal comments "but he's a good passer of the ball", mean nothing against the pacey & powerful midfields at the top 2 divisions. Only someone of Vicente's class can get away with less pace.

Gus OUT if that is the case.

You would have be be daft to think that's not happening,why would you play dicker and painter at such an important part of the season,gus was hoping they would be good i guess?Most of us are sure he's just experimenting for a good clear-out.
