That Was Absolute Shite

[Bluejuice]

No, I meant tenuous

I agree with the "crap performace" brigade. If Wednesday had had a half decent striker we would have lost 6-0. the amount of chances they created but didn't convert was ridiculous. At one point before I lost count, the sky stats showed 18-6 shots on goal.

Don't think so, that was total shots - shots on target was much closer and a truer reflection of the game. Wednesday did blaze a load of shots high wide and handsome from everywhere, that N Irish striker likes a dip as soon as he gets within 30 yard range!

Which kinda backs up my point, if they had had a half decent striker........

 

[London Irish]

If they'd have been more patient in their build-up play and tried to create better chances, they might not have got any shot in. I just think shots off target can be quite a misleading stat as times, a bit like our ABSOLUTE DOMINATION of corners

God I wish we would just WHIP one in

Did I dream this, but there was a time when Coppell was in charge just before Mcghee came on board (and just to add I think Mcghee is a miracle worker), when we used to play very low crosses in front of the defence that usually Knight would get hold of.

I was there. It was crap. But who cares - you can't beat the feeleing when a last min goal goes your way.
Have been to our last four games in Sheffield. Each had a decisive injury time goal. Two to us & two against.

Re: Re: That Was Absolute Shite

Did you go to Gillingham DTG? Come on man, it weren't that bad!

Every single game at Gillinham including the funny cup games!!

We were truly awful last night and mugged Wednesday.

I am at a loss why we play like we did against palace and Plymouth and then play like we did against Cardiff and Sheff Wed.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Totally, totally, totally agree Dwayne.

FFS, we're away from home. Best midfielder injured, home side resigned to shooting from outside the box, OK performance from us.

DtG, check the phrase underneath my name; 'against overreaction'.

If you think that was the worst game you've ever seen you never went to Gillingham or the last season at The Goldstone.

For Christ's sake man. get a f***ing grip.

Get a f***ing grip yourself wanker.

we are all allowed opinions and my opinion was that we were totally shite in the first half.

If you want someone to always agree with your views go and post on Brightonfans or something

Yep coz funnily enough leon is 4ft and he aint gonna outjump a 6ft 7 centre back.

Its called PLAYING TO YOUR STRENGTHS.

It's all in the mind, mate. I seriously think we need to get some kind of sports psychologist on board, cos when we're in the right frame of mind - ie Palace - we can play really well.

But I still disagree with your assertion that it was the worst you've ever seen the Albion play. You went to Priestfield, like me, and boy that was bad

 

[Da Man Clay]

last game on TV was Reading and that was truely woeful: long ball, knocked though our midfield with no resistance and hoofed back to their centre halfs.

I think Ipswich was our last game on tv.

I was basing it on the fact that in the first half, we couldn't put two passes together...in fact we struggled to put 1 pass in!

Oldham away was my worst game......5-1 or something like that on the artificial pitch. I seem to recall being so cold, my fingers almost froze with frostbite.

To be honest I have expunged most of the games at Gillingham out of my memory ( Millwall in the cup 6-1). Darlington 4-0 where it was a bring the kids for a £1 day....we should have paid them to come.

Truly terrible. As for the Donny 0-0, I think I actually fell asleep in that one!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Now you are reminding me


cardiff at home when my daughter was mascot.

She was supposed to meet Jeff Wood and the players after the game, but we were so shite, Jeff Wood would not let her near the changing rooms in case she vented her spleen at them - and she was only 8 at the time.


She never went again

LOL


BTW My wife said to me last night " No wonder you have gone grey...I would after watching that crap ...."

So last night's 1-1 draw away to Sheffield Wednesday (where we've never won a league game) was worse than:

27/8/96 Div 3 (A) Barnet - Lost 0-3
19/10/96 Div 3 (A) Doncaster Rovers - Lost 0-3
29/10/96 Div 3 (A) Rochdale - Lost 0-3

22/11/97 Div 3 (H) Cardiff City - Lost 0-1
6/1/98 AWS R2 (A) Walsall - Lost 0-5
7/2/98 Div 3 (H) Torquay United - Lost 1-4

6/4/98 Div 3 (H) Cambridge United - Lost 1-3

Just a touch of hyperbole being thrown around at the moment. I reckon you have to get through at least that lot before there can be any mention of "worst game ever".

Know exactly what she means. I'm 33 and bald. Hmm... go figure that one out

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

I've worked out that I saw 13 of those games I listed.

Dear God.

Why on earth I ever attended another match after witnessing just ONE of them is beyond my comprehension. And that's just games from the period 96 to 98. Reckon people with memories of the 60's could come up with even worse.

Losing at home to Workington in Division 4 anyone?
