AFC Bournemouth vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[trueblue]

Cheated FFP and clearly now cheat Football Fair play. I haven't seen a game in the last 20 years when a team continued attacking when a player was down injured.

It's the referee's decision. Players are not supposed to kick the ball out, and haven't in the Premier League for several seasons.

You haven't seen much top flight football then. Happens in most games and referee has no obligation to stop the match unless it's a head injury

Not the referee decision it's the players.

Just seen highlights, great team goal, then two gifted soft goals.
It's games like this that we have to learn from quickly.
If this was against a top team, we would have been buried.
Roll on Newcastle and a win.

We would do the same and rightly so

We didn't play like that last season.

Not at Huddersfield and Norwich

Let's not over-analyse this. For 60 minutes we were superb. Disciplined, professional, kept our shape. Fantastic goal. Ibe turned the entire game in two moments. It all changed in an instant, very surreal to watch. That's the harsh reality of the Premier League. Not sure there's much we could have done.

Proud of the boys tonight, deserved at least a point from that.

Pretty much this. Couple of mistakes and sitting a bit too deep perhaps but not too disheartened after that.

Stephens had by far his best game of the season too.

Is that right. Haven't watched Premier league for years. Probably a good rule to be fair

Sky presenter asks Hughton if Tuesday is an opportunity for revenge. What kind of a stupid question is that?

Possibly not a rhetorical one?

Bit of a worry we lost to two struggling teams away from home. Can't see us picking up to many points away from home.

I think we did in many games. Keep it tight first half but then have a go in the second. We hardly trounced many teams away from home last season.

Please don't let Rosenior near a football pitch again.

He was the wrk link today. Constantly blaming AK when he was the one creating the channel for Daniels with his poor positioning. Then several poor clearances / passes one of which led to the first goal.

If I'm honest, i can't fault them for it. Trying to stop or slow down a game by feigning injury is so widespread (absolutely not saying Gross was) that I agree that the game should be allowed to continue.

We defended well and did deserve a point, but other teams will realise that our strength is in being organised and defending crosses, and what they need to beat us is a bit of clever movement and a through ball. Then I fear we'll struggle, whilst allowing the opposition so much possession.

No?





Really?

Bang on. Thread closed. Re-group and go again - let the toy throwers have their own forum.

I thought this was a forum for everyone? Maybe I'm wrong. You tell us sheebo

 

[Bry Nylon]

Hugely frustrating. I hope we give it a real good go this season and don't just 'do a 'Boro,'

Fortune favours the Brave.

Looked like a standard away performance by us based on last season. Keep it solid at the back, and try to win games by producing moments of quality with counter attacks. The difference is, in the Premier League, it's harder to defend because of better players, and it's harder to go forward, again due to better players. So obviously, we had less chances and conceded more.

Agreed, but it's what we have to do, get points where we can to guarantee our survival in PL for next season.
Like I said we have to learn quickly.
