[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[zefarelly]

Imagine having a young talented, pacy, fullback in your team.
Then imagine having Bruno Saltor on your coachig staff to mentor him...

too good to be true?

No, a pleasant reality.

A rarity these days

Very happy with a point, no point dwelling on the missed penalty as you never know, it could have inspired Leicester to score 2 and we'd have come away with nothing, 4 points from our first 2 games back is a brilliant return. A week to rest and train before our next game is a welcome bonus, blooded the new boys as well, literally in Lamptey's case, which is decent.

Lamptey MOTM for me, to see him nick the ball off of Vardy and then get away from him caused an argument with the missus as she's trying to get the baby to sleep.

Yeah this, exactly. We would have been penned all game you just know it!

We were fantastic until Bissouma went off. Understandably he was shattered so had to go off but it’s no coincidence our performance tailed off a bit when he went off.

Fast becoming our most important player.

blimey; you've cheeeeered up

Genuine

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Guessing you missed Potter saying Bernardo and Ali J would be involved tonight

Or not.

Can't believe Potter did that to me, but all's well that ends well

Quick browse on Foxes Talk suggests the Lesta fans aren't a happy bunch. They were pretty shocking though to be fair considering their position and having Europe to play for

Not quite the euphoria of Saturday, but happy enough with how it turned out.

Just a calm feeling of satisfaction, after a very reassuring and unlikely 4 points.

Now watching some awful football from Spuds and West Ham. What a contrast to the effective GP style earlier.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Very, very happy with that. Should probably have won, a poor pen for me but hey ho.

Dropped too deep in 2nd half, around 60 to 80 mins, which was worrying. Not going to trouble their defence if the whole team is camped in our own third.

Stephens and Mooy looked shagged out. Loved Lamptey and Macalister.

All in all, a top effort.

The t*ssers “countdown to our relegation“ thread has gone eerily quiet. We’ve ruined their summer.

[Uh_huh_him]

I agree he does an ok job defending, but we need more from a winger than just being a good defender. The problem is when he comes on you know we are not trying to score.

Got to take offence to that.

Millwall FA Cup he changed the game.
Arsenal 3 days ago, his corner ad subsequent cross get us back into the game.
Very strong defensively, decent going forward.

He gets way too much egative comment because he isn't tearing teas apart 1 in 4 like Knocky did.
But he is way, more cosistent (without hitting the heights)

 

[Sorrel]

And now we get a week off - an almost unheard of luxury for these matches.

 

[Seasidesage]

Suddenly it all looks like its coming together. We have successfully integrated a number of good young players into the squad and the summer should see 2 or 3 more coming into play. Results have been getting better and I think we are only a couple of players from being a very good side...

To get a performance like that out of such a young side bodes well for the future

He's fast become a very importnat player, but so have others . . . . . Or, what we're starting to see ( I hope) is the fruition of Potterball .. . . New players integrating with existing old and new players . . .we have a squad . . . I quite like that we don't have a guaranteed 1st team, and that predictability, but a 20+ squad you can pick a competitive team of almost any formation/style from.

After the last 2 games I almost expect to see something different against Manure . . . Give Ole a headache. Can't wait

First half we played them off the park.

 

[Change at Barnham]

And no booking for Dunk.
Are his previous 9 bookings now wiped clean?

Doesn’t dive, get petulant and stand there waving his arms about when things don’t go his way and hasn’t ruined a game and the next 3 by flying in recklessly either......

In many ways would rather have the reliability of a solid 6.5/7 pretty much every game than anything from a 4 to a 10. If Knocky had Solly’s temperament or Solly had Knocky’s mercurial skill either would be 30m players.
