Blackpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[brightn'ove]

We are always so shit against the shit teams. Only exceptions I can remember us dominating a poor team was wolves who were basically already relegated and Barnsley a few years back

FK sake, we sounded absolutely gutless. What was the problem today, too cold.
End of the day it's up to the players isn't it. If they want to play League One football they are going the right way about it.

Would be just like us to wipe the floor with Forest next week. Just keep looking up the table rather than down, a setback but, shit pitch, shit weather and shit ref partly to blame.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Poor. Time for Kayal instead of JFC methinks.

 

[Icy Gull]

0-1 full time. Referee blows the whistle before having to give a penalty for handball

Be interesting to see what those who were there thought. Butters and Cantor sounded incredibly biased in the commentary, blaming the ref, the pitch and luck rather than what sounded like a really crap performance from the Albion.

The action on the pitch is about as frustrating as our transfer window inaction. The end of every window seems to be accompanied by an "is that it?" sensation.

Sigh!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Results generally have meant we stay in the same position in the league. 20th.

If only ...

They also said the handball was probably Dunk anyway.

I'm not slagging him off, by the sounds of what i've listened to and from comments on twitter he should have done better with the freekick. I agree he has done much better recently and we've had a run of clean sheets. He commands his area well and also on crosses, his distribution is good. But IMO!! His weakest part of his game is shot stopping and I base that on this whole season. I'm not putting this defeat down to Stocks, far from it. But when you aren't playing well and you need your keeper to pull off a save to keep you in it, I don't think Stockdale does it as often as he should do.

To be honest, I'd hate to see what happens if you do slag him off then. I can't see any comments blaming Stockdale but I'm sure you're right as there are some people who won't give him any credit despite him being brilliant in the last couple of months. In fact, I'd argue he has kept us in games with great saves recently but we'll ignore the Fulham away, Brentford home, Wolves away etc games as they don't suit your argument.

I have posted many times that he get's picked by the England U21 manager and by Hyypia and therefore must have something but now even Hughton picks him!But he does seem to be a regular input into a losing team.

That's because he contributes virtually nothing to the team. We have much better players not playing. Tex, unless ill, should have played.

 

[Marxo]

A sad day indeed
We'll do better, I know it!

 

[We're the Stripes]

Brighton never have a comfortable game no matter who we play.

Oh well, onto the next game.

Yep, even at our peak under Gus, we would have made very hard work of this sort of fixture. It's just what we do.

Next game can't come quick enough.

Wahaaay it's the refs fault again...ah well that is ok then

We have a bang average side but we haven't turned to shit because of one result. Look at Blackpool's recent home form, other teams have struggled to win there for one reason or another. Cue massive overreactions from some though.

Look again Grandad... 21st... only 2 points out of the drop zone.

Can't believe the team are flying back to Brighton! What a waste of money make them walk after that pile of manure!!

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Fence sitter Hughton, did anyone expect a win

He hardly went for what is a poor side, 3 big points lost.

 

[symyjym]

Blimey they are flying back, I would make them hitchhike.

 

[The Tactician]

We beat a better Blackpool side 6-1 a few years ago. And the '1' was anice own goal. FFS

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Typical Albion. We lose to the poor sides and beat the good sides.

Didn't we beat blackpool 6-1 once!?
