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

[Bakero]

Their recent form has been streets ahead of us.

Has it? 4 points from the past 4 games for both sides, isn't it? Looking at the past 6, ours is better.

You go back to the beginning of November you can see they've been building quite nicely.

No not at all, it doesn't matter who scores?

Average Premier League goal time is around 26 minutes any goal around this time and the odds will drop to 1.8

This is one of many statistical models that I use.

I know that - I was taking the mick basically saying, 'I cant see us scoring .... etc'

Fulham should come out on top tonight> It all seems to be coming together for them, while we look low on confidence and ideas. If we can stop Lookman maybe we can get a result.

............. and how many goals did Liverpool beat us by?

Yeah get what your saying.

Tonight could be, whatever you do don't lose, expect a bore draw then.

Think we need to come out of the blocks quicker than Fulham otherwise it could be a tough old night, hopefully Lallana and Lamptey will be playing as well..

if they get a pen, hopefully Lookman will take it

if they get a pen, hopefully Lookman will take it

If we get a pen, hopefully Gross will take it

 

[Uh_huh_him]

absolutely gutted we cant go, easily the best away game with up to 6000 Brighton behind the goal

This!

 

[RandyWanger]

Hopefully we'll go 0-2 up in the first twenty minutes, then we can all relax and enjoy it............

............ yep, they'd never come back from that ..................

4-2 to Fulham again?

I'm not sure I could relax if we were 4 up our defense is so sloppy at the moment.

it was a terrible night. Not been to an away game since.

1-0 to the good guys

Dear Brighton players,

Please take the two very gettable early chances we will inevitably have in this game. Concentrate at set pieces and go in 2-0 up. Score a third on the break as they seek a consolation goal. Then come home.

Please thank you

Agree there needs to be a lookout posted on Lookman but a close eye must also be kept on Cheeky-Loftus.

I fear our zonal marking will allow both of them too much time and space - we'll be two down with 20 to go and Mitrovic will come on for his customary goal against us.

Yet if we can put away the opportunities we know we can create - could make for a 3-3 - I'd take a point, would love all three, but a loss may just become the first nail in our coffin

Genius! Someone send this to Potter ASAP!

 

[Guinness Boy]

I agree with others, we need to put away an early chance.

Their defence is woeful but they will create chances themselves. Two goal cushion needed. Although I am oddly confident and hoping the team selection will be the other side of the "gaming the Christmas fixture pile up" coin from the one seen at Leicester.

Again, as with others, absolutely gutted to be missing the best away day in the league. Bloody Covid

No. I remember the last time we went in 2-0 up at HT at Craven Cottage...

 

[portslade seagull]

100% this.

No one would be happier than me if Ryan delivers a big FU to his critics and puts in a match winning performance tonight.

But I’m sorry I don’t have much faith in the bloke at the moment. I can’t remember the last time he didn’t let a decent effort on goal in. And if I were Fulham I’d absolutely be targeting him with some high balls and crunching headers.

Anything into the corners from outside the area normally suffices

Ain’t that the truth

 

[macbeth]

interestingly, it's the same referee tonight who reffed that west ham vs fulham game....

 

[neilbard]

Win tonight lads and it's back on the fence for me. It's the Potter "hokey cokey"
