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

[The Fits]

Exactly what Hughton did and got pilloried for not changing it enough. As a manager I’m convinced you can’t win.

Hughton got pillored for playing the most defensive football i've seen any club play.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

For me it's two many changes

How many?

 

[Mike Small]

Does Potter read NSC? I like this team. Pleased Bissouma has got some help in there. He will need to stop Lookman and Loftus- Cheek who have been impressive. Stop them and we’ll Win imo.

 

[MattBackHome]

They've officially raised my hopes now the utter ********.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Potter starts to become under pressure, suddenly reverts away from experimentation and strange formations.
Just a thought.

thinking the same. maybe if we get beat heavily he could argue he was trying something new as the key players have been underperforming - thereby buying himself another game or 2! (of course in reality i think it would take a LOT for Potter to be given the boot - maybe being bottom , adrift of safety and 10 defeats in 12 games MIGHT make the chairman think again)

 

[KZNSeagull]

We will win.

But for the record I hope I am very wrong

Which two?

 

[figgis]

Alzate, yes!!

Very pleased with that starting 11 overall.

What has Alzate ever done to suggest that he is nothing better than the new Dale Jasper.

Lots of pace going forward with Welbeck, Lamptey, March & Trossard with the ultra mobile Alzate & Bissouma holding the midfield and the genius of Lallana to knit it all together.

Exciting line-up with Maupay & Connolly available to run against their defence of need be.

[GT49er]

If he's not even in the squad then he's either injured or there's been a bust up

Whether Sanchez or Ryan has played, Steele is always the reserve GK on the bench.

 

[Chinman3000]

For me Ryan and Maupay have been the worst performers this season and I’m glad to see them dropped.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Because unlike Steele Sanchez plays regularly for the U23s and is therefore match ready. Plus again it shows if you perform at that level then there is a pathway to the first XI.

I don’t feel we owe Steele a chance ahead of youthful talent.

Also GK is no different to any other position these days - statistical analysis may show Sanchez’s skills befit the opponent better than Steele’s.

I believe Sanchez has only played 3 times for the U23s this season. Carl Rushworth seems to be first choice at that level. Sanchez wouldn’t be risked for most U23s games due to being next in line to step into the PL squad if Ryan or Steele picked up any late injuries, he’d have travelled to most PL games for that reason even if he didn’t make the 18.

 

[Stat Brother]

Tough on Veltman too.

But having 5 outfield players pretty much unburdened by 72 hours ago, ought to be good news.
While (I assume) Fulham are going pretty much the same again, having chased Liverpool around the pitch.

 

[The Wizard]

What normally happens when we are all happy with the line up?

We play shit

 

[LamieRobertson]

Very happy with that team. Tonight I stand with Potter. Hope the boys can deliver.

I hope you’ll be socially distancing

We play shit

I didn't want to be the one who mentioned it first

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lol...has to be

 

[Napier]

It is refreshing to have the pre-match chat about the teams about to play, rather than about any of the top 6 who played yesterday.

 

[RandyWanger]

Amazon 'pundits' are lazy. They don't even know half our players names.
