[Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[southstandandy]

A decent point away against a bunch of thugs.

Every point is hard won and today was no different. Not the best from us by a country mile but Well Done Lads. Ground out a decent point and Sanchez was immense.

hard fought indeed .....Burnley are thugs and the ref was a cop out ....Westwood done a beautiful swinging elbow into Macallisters face, Barnes in on Sanchesz twice , completely missed by the ref....then he goes and gives a soft free for them and gunnarsson gets MOM ffs , glad thats over .

 

[origigull]

Well done lads a hard fought 1-1 and the players are obviously shattered after three tough games.

This. People moan about Potter chopping and changing personnel but today many of our players looked absolutely knackered. Maybe Potter should have rested a couple of players today.

 

[Pembury]

We will be the more satisfied of the sides (minus the Webster injury)

 

[Hugo Rune]

Just saw a replay of the Burnley goal. Bissouma is dozing.

Bissouma & his partner Groß looked exhausted for most of the match.

 

[The Fits]

Be good to see the Poles play in the cup. Could do with both contributing a little of the rest of the season.
In fact, we could really do with Clarke and Molumby.

 

[Motogull]

Ah well. Burnley will see that as two points lost.

Well hung on in there.

Now. Come on you Irons.

 

[BNthree]

Would have taken a point before the game so fine with taking one at final whistle. Glad we denied them 3 points.

Hard fought point that. We seemed a yard off the pace and a touch jaded today, especially on the second ball. We would of lost that last season.

Well played.

 

[Bodian]

When did he have one ruled out?

His turn and shot against Bournemouth.

Anyway - wasn't to be today!

would rather rest players in the cup game than the league.

 

[portslade seagull]

Definitely jaded after their efforts at Liverpool. Still a good pt at the up and under merchant's. Sanchez MOM for me

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It hurt my neck a bit with the amount of time the ball was in the air but I would have taken a point(I think) before kick off.
With the games coming round every other day, or so it seems, I think they're entitled to look a little knackered

 

[mashman156]

Thought the whole midfield and attack looked jaded second half. Never looked like getting the second and it seemed it was inevitable they'd get one eventually. Good to hold on and keep the unbeaten run going. Rest some ready for Villa next week.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Sanchez man of the match. Kept the score down

 

[Nameless]

Team clearly knackered, lots of injuries, we were not very good to be honest. But any point away at Burnley is good.

Not a good game or performance but a point is ok. Very disappointed with a few individual performances today, Gross and Bissouma were poor for pretty much 90 minutes and Welbeck spent 30 minutes on the pitch hiding, expect more from someone with his experience.

Hopefully Webster is ok, starting to looking a bit thin in defense.

I think that’s a bit too negative overall.

This was always going to be a tough game coming off the back of the efforts, physical and mental, plus the euphoria of those two games. Burnley are always difficult to play against anyway. I thought we showed real guts and resilience.

Harsh on the three individuals you’ve highlighted also, thought they all did ok. If any players to be criticised for performance then I would say Maupay and Connolly.

Clearly we missed March today but also Trossard. Mac Allister and Gross really missed his intelligence. Connolly not in the same league.

Second best today so happy to take the point. Not going to slate anyone after the last few games, bit of a dip hardly a surprise. Looked much more solid when Potter changed to 4 at the back.

 

[neilbard]

Not good second half against the turgid thug cloggers who throw elbows and studs around for fun and shout at the officials constantly until they influence them - hate them. But good point, take it. Looked leggy - understandably...

Turgid bully boy football from the northerners, tough match but that's what it's all about, let us not forget they did beat Liverpool 0-1 at Anfield.

 

[Steve in Japan]

We dug in for that point, real character. Looked drained at the end.

And hope Webster is OK.
