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

[Mo Gosfield]

6 wins in 28 PL games is appalling. Without the points deduction Everton would be finishing above us. Palace probably will. The decline is alarming.

 

[Albion my Albion]

How many more goals will B'muff score in the next 25 minutes plus?

 

[BevBHA]

Since the 4-1 win v palace In February we have scored one goal from open play welbeck against Liverpool that is shocking

I will add embarrassing to shocking

 

[jcdenton08]

Why not, if it deflects the spotlight away from themselves for that little bit longer. Won't stop the underlying rot of their buy-cheap-flip-fast-bank-the-profit business model tho

Utterly ridiculous

 

[Ethelwulf]

Still one shot on target all game

 

[Withdean11]

It’s the same problem as we have had all season. A bunch of players who can play in the small spaces, not a single player who can play in the large spaces.

Whoever is in charge of squad building (Weir?) has failed miserably.

I've waited too long now, Roberto De Zerbi.

 

[GT49er]

Gyokeres and (although not our fault in his case) Mwepu?

Add in Ostigard with his Champions League experience, and we could go:

Sanchez
White- Ostigard-Burn-Cucurella
Caicedo-Bissouma
Mwepu-Mac Allister-Trossard
Gyokeres​

........................and that, I think, would be a pretty competitive PL team!

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Utterly ridiculous

Yet somehow very very true

 

[oldboyroy]

Still trying to walk it in

Last few weeks we've had the whole Arsenal are world class, city are world class bollocks. Even though we turned over Arsenal regularly.
This is f***ing Bournemouth.
Who have had a hell of lot of Injuries too.
Second half they've gone from first to third gear and it's a training session.

Glenn Murray wanking himself off about Bournemouth is pissing me off

He just described us and Bournemouth as 2 small clubs. WTF

 

[London Irish]

Gilmour should have shot then rather than try 12 1-2s

 

[maltaseagull]

I'm not sure that I've ever cared less about an Albion result. Which is a worry.

My only worry once we went 1.0 down was that as we have stopped scoring, would my 0.3 predicted result come.
I can't believe how poor we have become in 2024.

 

[scooter1]

You were saying...

Yeah, sorry…..

 

[swindonseagull]

Can I go home yet, or do I have to stay to watch us huff and puff and not score? Again.

Nah u need to stay and clap the lads off.......regardless of how shite they have been.....

 

[Washie]

He just described us and Bournemouth as 2 small clubs. WTF

We are though, what trophies have we won?

 

[nwgull]

don’t know why people keep mentioning being ‘on the beach’ as if that’s some sort of excuse? completely unacceptable to be showing this little desire and fight at any point during the season. maybe if there had been a bit more effort shown there would be something to play for!

It’s bollocks, isn’t it? Two years ago we had nothing to play for other than table position with about 6-7 games to go, and we were f***ing brilliant.

At some point you must keep the players & pay them the going wage if you want to stay in the top 6 of the PL.

 

[One Love]

One goal scored by our players from open play in more than eleven hours of football. We've conceded 16 in that time.

I think something might be wrong.

A big pointer to this is Adingra. Comes back from an impressive Afcon, pretty good for one game then loses all form and doesn't look the same player.
