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

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looking forward to some happy-clapper simpleton starting a thread after the match trying to rally the troops and urging everybody to Get A Grip

To be fair to the lads most of them are on the beach now and are looking at the holidays rather than the footy.

Well then let's not be fair. They're paid professionals who've been on the beach for at least a third of a season?

But then change the tactics to make us more defensive. A draw is better than a loss. Our defence is always exposed.

I don’t think we’d learn much from stacking the team with Webster and other defenders and trying to grind a 0-0. Chances are that would give Bournemouth all the ball and we’d concede anyway. We’re midtable - we’ll finish midtable - better to learn about some of these young players. Yes it’s a bloody tough watch I can’t disagree with you there but we are where we are. Let’s build a better squad next season

Offiah is looking decent.

 

[portslade seagull]

Oh Well at least we are winning the possession stat again but going nowhere with it

 

[Gabbiano]

Jesus. Should be 2, let off.

 

[SeagullDubai]

That was dreadful from Igor. Offiah 10/10 for effort

 

[RandyWanger]

This is going well

 

[Blue3]

Igor what are you doing !!!!!!!! He missed thank goodness

 

[Bridcutt]

We just don't create any chances anymore because our play is so f***ing slow. No slick passing at all

Not me !!

 

[London Irish]

Should have been 2-0 - Igor mistake

 

[Krafty]

How long can we make the injuries excuse? Every other team has injuries!

 

[US Seagull]

Lucky not to be two down

Playing the youngsters is fine, but maybe change the way we play to at least stop every attack coming through and destroying the confidence of our younger players.

I've written half of it already

And defensively we’ve actually been pretty fortunate with injuries - Pervis aside

 

[DJ NOBO]

No good blaming RDZ - He isn’t on the pitch. We need to defend these corners and Bart should have been quicker to move.

Amazing - if Steele was playing it would have been his fault we are 0:1 down but he’s not - 20 mins in and it’s all RDZs fault

Neither of them have been anything special this season.
The difference is Bart is at an age where he’s likely to improve.
Rushworth should be in the mix next season, or Beadle.

 

[B-right-on]

Can't blame the offcials, we are maganing to screw ourselves enough without their help

 

[Washie]

Bournemouth have six first teamers out today
