[Albion] At what point should we start worrying about our form?

[Jeremiah]

It is what it is. The club failed yet again to bring in what was missing. I certainly will not b losing any sleep over it.

Tis a mystery as to why the Club can't see it or maybe they do - lack of money ?

 

[prawnsarnies]

Time to get Maupay back starting and find a starting spot for Mac.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

We looked a better team last season. Now we have regressed to a more negative cautious side struggling to create chances. It worked for a while as we were grinding out undeserved results but the luck has run out now and it’s hard to see where the next win is coming from.

Cucurella apparently told to pass backwards at every opportunity!

 

[Binney on acid]

We needed to win at Norwich to avoid our annual relegation struggle. Thank god their striker was unable to put the ball into an open goal............

 

[Pavilionaire]

I don't think there much wrong. Mwepu for Moder and a striker for Gross or Lallana.

 

[Invicta]

A few weeks ago...

This!

 

[portlock seagull]

This season is only panning out how the others predict it should. We had our little purple patch early on that’s all.

Without stickers(s) it’s going to be more pass pass miss than ending with a goal. Which means we’ll be lower middle or higher relegation as normal. But what a normal that is! You’d have been sectioned for even thinking that 20 years ago.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

dont shoot me down but both Lallana and Bissouma are below last seasons standard. Biss in particular only seems to shine AFTER he loses possession as i witnessed at least three times today.

One thing today i worried about is we seemed to be playing with NO strikers!. Trossard in the first half was often playing behind the wingers.

 

[Right Back]

Mid November and our first away defeat. I don’t think now is the time to worry.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Four wins out of first 5 should be enough to avoid big R but it is fast reverting to type: inability to even compete against crap teams; possession with no cutting edge; slow, slow,......slow, slow slow in build up.

It can all change, but the warning sings were there at Norwich; other than a wonderful H2 performance at Liverpool, all been disappointingly predictable from then on.

Thanks, let me know when it is, cheers

 

[Lethargic]

I will get assassinate by the club lickers but we
h
masked the issue. We have been and are short of a decent striker.
Our current crop are decent support strikers but we don't have anyone to lead the line and other teams know it.

Told by who?

Where does the apparently come from?

Do we have to keep on about clearing dog poo and using jumpers for posts x years ago. Hundreds of millions have been invested in order to move on from that; the point is simply that we are showing no sign of moving on NOW not from an athletics stadium tenant - that's history we need not revisit.

We are already on the record of most consecutive seasons in bottom 6 without being relegated; four early wins should be enough to at least ensure a 5th, but cant we just FFS BEAT a crap team for once.

Pedantic bollox. From a flying wing-back to a Chris Hughtonesque performance in the space of 3 games. #What Gives?

 

[WATFORD zero]

I've started to worry again today

But after 50 odd years there's something quite reassuring about getting back to worrying again

*edit* Sorry, I hadn't seen your post when I replied

And I appreciate, it is frustrating

Not at all pedantic. You made it sound like you have inside info on what the players are told. Especially as it doesn't square with what's going on on the pitch.

The only one I saw getting balls into the box quickly today was Cucurella. Admittedly I only saw the first 40 mins or so as had a power cut. Listened to the rest on the radio.

In all games, Cucurella only ever seems to want to get forward and play balls forward to me. I can't understand why you've picked him out.

Now if you had said Lallana has been told to be completely anonymous. I'd have believed you.

I am now worried for the first time in over a year. We have zero belief once we get to the penalty area and we seem to be getting mugged too often.

So yeah I’m worried..no Welbeck, Maupay seems to have issues and Connolly has been binned. Who do we bring in?

We are now creating next to nothing, our free kicks and corners are shit and we get beat by every other shot on target

I know and you know our club dna, although Forget history at your peril, I must disagree with you there. Accusing the club of not moving on is a tough call. There must be a ceiling, realistically I mean? Unless we’re adopted by a totalitarian state that is! Perhaps that’s where we’re at? We’re in the highest league possible. Without any real history or pedigree at this level. And we all know you need billions to buy consistency at this level. Brighton have always been a club that does things the hard way. We’ll play the best and run them close or even beat them. Following week we can’t beat an egg. If there is a Brighton Way, that’s it. Gift horses regularly pop by, look us in the face, and then trot off to help someone else.
