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

[Gabbiano]

This is way worse than any time under CH or GP.
We are the second worst team in the league currently.

At the end of the season with CH we were the worst. Horrendous form, we were rescued by dubious refereeing against Cardiff in other matches robbing them of points.

This is worse than anything Potter served up though. With Potter we created chances, just couldn't finish them. With Potter we very rarely if ever got hammered, we've been hammered 4 or 5 times this season.

5 years ago in April, we were losing 0-5 to Bournemouth at the Amex.

One wonders whether this is going to be a defining fixture like the Bournemouth and Cardiff games at the Amex were.

Different circumstances certainly and we've had a great European adventure, but still this nagging feeling persists re the manager.

First game I ever left early, straight after the 4th went in.

Too fed up to leave early today.

 

[nwgull]

I'm pretty sure Hughton's teams were better than this.

At least when it started to go pear shaped for CH, he was pragmatic and got the team to defend as if their lives depended on it. That 0-0 at Wolves was a team really playing for their manager.

 

[GT49er]

Time to bring on Fati surely

What's the point? He's off for good in a couple of weeks, so let's give some of our own a bit of game time. In fact, we might as well pop him on a plane home now.

Now I really can't see us getting another point this season

This my concern.

 

[Stat Brother]

Now I really can't see us getting another point this season

Blimey i admire your commitment in getting to todays game.

 

[Ethelwulf]

This my concern.

I can’t see us scoring again

Pathetic

The 0-0 with Cardiff was the big one, Cardiff going hammer and tong, but the players stood firm, same with the Newcastle draw.

 

[Hiheidi]

Get rid of him now. Seasons dead already, no need to ruin the atmosphere further. Wave good bye and get Amorim NOW

Fonseca

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Scoreline fully deserved today. Can't see where the next point is coming from.

 

[jimhigham]

They won't sack him.

I'm not so sure. Bloom knows his numbers and ours are woeful right now. I'll not be surprised if he's at least checking the password for his "potential managers" spreadsheet.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Boooooooo that was a f***ing disgrace . Sorry but RDZ needs to go

 

[Hamilton]

The whole ‘injuries’ thing is a red herring. These players are good enough to win games, but our manager is not playing with what he has got.

I don’t believe Bloom will sack him, but he really should look at that form and ask whether he’s allowing or the Europa stuff to camouflage the truth.

 

[the wanderbus]

When you have as many injuries as we’ve had all season you need to be able to grind out results and that’s something that no De Zerbi side will ever do. We should’ve been playing Hughton- esque football for the last two months . We’d definitely have more points and probably a better goal difference . Continue to play the De Zerbi way and we won’t get another point.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I know everyone likes putting the boot into RDZ at the moment but the players need to have a long hard look at themsleves.

There are some things that are entirely on them:

Effort
Decision making
Quality on the ball

All three have been really poor from the team. Two or three have at least looked like they're trying but the rest have sleep walked their way through the game.

Sooner this season is put in the history books the better. Then when we look back we'll only remember being top for a week, smacking palace 4-1 and playing in Europe. The final third of the season will be forgotten. But f*** me gutless performances annoy me, there's zero excuse for them.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Scoreline fully deserved today. Can't see where the next point is coming from.

I can’t see where the next goal is going to come from. We are creating so little.

 

[birthofanorange]

I'm 100% hoping that RDZ is still at the helm next season, along with most (if not all) of our injured players back. Couple that with a few decent signings and this end to the season will be forgotten.
Shit happens, and it's happened to us - finally.
We're still in the PL and I really didn't think we'd last for more than a couple of seasons, when we were promoted.

 

[Hamilton]

Statistically I think we are third or fourth bottom, form wise. But clearly Luton are better given they have basically a league one squad.

Third bottom.
