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

[Simster]

Based on our form and performances over the past few months I am quietly confident that we will lose and fail to score. I'm now almost resigned to finishing below Palace. My hopes (and dreams) are now focused on next season with all our injured players back.

This.

I don't think I've ever been as ambivalent as this towards an Albion game in the Amex era.

 

[Bry Nylon]

One team will look slick, full of vigour and inventive. The other will lumber around looking over-coached and scared to make their own decisions.

Home win.

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Wonder if Iraola will repeat that thing of telling his players to just stand there like statues and refuse to engage with Verbruggen rolling the ball out under his foot. Hope so, it was hilarious

I've just put my flippers and snorkel in the car so I can safely navigate the car park by the ground

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Amazing that only weeks ago Europe was on and now the salient objective is finishing above Palace

Bloody football

 

[Stat Brother]

The only ray of sunshine today is the fact Groß Welbz and The Lana all played on Thursday, so we won't have to endure that special kind of shitshow today.

Europe most definitely wasn't on WEEKS ago.

If we draw a blank today then our only goal in April will have been the own goal scored by Burnley

Harsh SB, hope tongue in cheek because we'll miss Gross when he goes and we'd be in a worse position without Welbeck

Last away day for me in a special season but we do need something today

Hughtons last couple of months - but at that point we had low expectations generally.

Now we apparently we have a world class manager and an ‘exciting young team’ - but it’s been anything but for months now

 

[worthingweird]

With the right attitude and big balls, we can win all our remaining games...
WBG is back...

Not tongue in cheek at all.
When those 3 players all start we are universally shitehouse.

I'll happily take any permutation of 1 or 2 of them, but all 3 together is the sign of a clueless desperate team selection.

But it wasn’t really ambivalence then as we needed points to stay up. With our current situation we could lose all our remaining games without scoring and it wouldn’t really matter.

So says The Optimist.

LIVE commentary on BBCR5SX if it helps anyone.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Hoping for a nice afternoon so I can go for a walk and see the bluebells.

 

[GJN1]

• Brighton have won just six of their last 27 Premier League games (D11, L10) - since the start of this spell in September, only Burnley, Nottingham Forest, and Sheffield United have won fewer.

Lord, this stat is depressing.

 

[Krafty]

I don't care if we lose today, I want the players to show some grit and determination. It feels like they have given up, same as the coach, which has resulted in the fans giving up too.

 

[Gabbiano]

Eventually we have to win again right?
