[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Bromwich Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Why do you only ever come out when things go poorly?

And here’s one of them! I must come out a lot then!

 

[London Irish]

On the upside, great to see the Albion players and Potter join the campaign against PPV

 

[durrington gull]

Absolutely woeful

Considering how shit we played after scoring, it's probably just as well we didn't score earlier. If we'd had another 2 or 3 minutes of stoppage time there I wouldn't bet against WBA taking all the points.

 

[Lethargic]

2 points dropped.

Bottom 3 mate with Potter

Ok... like last season?

Again. where do you think we SHOULD finish?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Truly dire 2nd half.

West Brom passed the ball out of play 7 times in the first hslf.
As bad a team as we have played at the Amex.and yet again we fail to capitalise,


Maupay pointless and wasteful surprised he stayed on.

 

[twickers]

It was the fans leaving early that did it...oh wait a minute.

 

[Tory Boy]

Sadly we are a team of defenders.

TB

The local food banks are going to be well off with that showing...

I get the Ben White experiment away or against a top 6 side but playing 4 CB's leaves us devoid of pace and creativity. Why did we go to a back 4 of Veltman, Webster, Burn & White to leave a midfield of Lamptey, Gross and Bissouma - totally lost our shape and all confidence. Playing 3 centre backs is ok but we need creativity imho....

 

[neilbard]

Appalling, Hughton in, Potter out, absolute crap. We have certainly progressed. ffs!!

 

[The Wizard]

As predicted, Cue the bed wetting in 1-2-3...

To be fair the bedwetters after Everton were embarrassing but after that performance? It’s kind of understandable to be honest.

Very poor second half against a team who will struggle to get points against anyone this season. No intensity at all in that second half and again sleep walked into more dropped points.

 

[cheesy77]

A good point I guess, these are a good side!

Shocking second half and lucky to hold on for a point. It will be a long season if we play like that too often. West Brom were there for the taking in the first half, but we could not capitalise. So frustrating!

 

[HP Seagull]

Embarrassing. Potter has to take total responsibility for the team that ended the match. Alzate up front (Why, when we were desperate to get hold of the ball in midfield?), Lamptey right wing and Gross in midfield. As soon as Lallana and Trossard went off we lost our way and had zero pace with the exception of Lamptey.

Connolly or Welbeck had to come on to play with Maupay and push West Brom back. Absolutely pathetic from Potter tonight, and from the players second half.

 

[Stat Brother]

Nice to be playing a side that hit the outside of the post and shoot just over.

Would have lost that by a glut if their shooting was of the standard we've become used too.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

enlighten me. Hes a luxury player, exactly the opposite of what this game needed

Work-rate wise hardly a luxury player.

Personally I think the sub was wrong, but I certainly wouldn’t single Gross out as a problem based on tonight.

Unless March was injured he should never have been taken off

Good first half, clueless second. We were lucky to get a point.

A lot went wrong 2nd half. Good first half, should have scored more than a solitary goal. Plenty to work on going forwards.
