Brighton V Norwich "Official" Match Thread...

[Notters' Dad]

Just a thought - can Virgo go in goal?

Give him the chance, it'll make his full set of playing positions!

Rushden also winning 2-0, at Cambridge. It's looking ominous for Saturday.

I thought it was still active because every post is taking ages to go through , its so SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW.

Narwich just had a goal disallowed.

 

[glasfryn]

disallowed........................still 2-0

 

[Steve Foster]

Our defenders should do a Wigan & collectively refund the Albion fans for tonights performance

 

[fleet]

Thankfully disallowed - still the words Smith and saved fail to appear in the same sentence

Cox went into very late and appeared to kick out after the two fell to the ground. They have the benefit of a TV replay in the press box and according to them both he is very lucky to still be on the pitch.

 

[Kosh]

I'm with Looney on this.

Get behind the team FFS.

Albion.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Can someone {sensible} explain what Cox did? Thanks.

From what i can digest from the radio, Cox made an awful challenge, victim retaliated, everybody piled in (apart from Elphick they noted) Cox, Crofts and one (not sure) of their players got a booking

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Sort it out Albion.

 

[Foolg]

I second that

Keep getting updates from the game, and apparently Cox should have been sent off no question! Was a late challenge from behind, and then a blatant stamp/retaliation on there player, which was right infront of the albion fans. If our own fan thought it was a blatant red, then we must be very luck to get away with a yellow!

As for slagging off smith, the first goal was apparently his fault! And i have seen him play many times, and not once in any of those games has he made what i remember as a GREAT save, which Kuipers often does!

How long before the penny drops?

MANAGERS DO NOT WIN OR LOSE MATCHES. PLAYERS DO.

Assuming we make it to half time without conceding another Smith will have let in 19 goals in 516 minutes, approximately a goal every 27 minutes, so averaging just over three goals a game. And that's despite an easy clean sheet in the second half against Wycombe.

It can't just be a coincidence.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Oh dear. Looks like Three Goal Smith is going to live up to his nickname again.

 

[Gerbil]

Oh FFS.

Nice one Coxy.

bit hypocritical that?

you moan at everyone for blamin the jock , but then you go and do exactly the same about cox.

 

[sam86]

Thanks for your responses about Cox getting into a "scuffle". But, I was under the impression Cox was also at fault for their second goal? If this is the case, what did he do?

 

[perseus]

What odds to win now?

I can't get Bet 365 to come up on my computer. I am not a member.

 

[perseus]

See if Gus Poyet to get the tactics sorted out a half-time. No accounting for silly mistakes though.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Maybe we should have a new fanzine. How about

and Smith must let them score!
