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

He's doing a great job at Villa...

I appreciate that, but it doesn't mean he did a bad job here.

 

[Mackenzie]

Come on Brighton, get into them.

 

[Bob'n'weave]

Why sign Akpom and then not give him a decent run-out? Looked lively enough when he came on v Huddersfield. This timidity in team selection will be the undoing of us. Sake!

This.

Sounds like we are playing well despite the score. Keep it tight, nick one for half time and bring on Chuba. Please.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Go all out to get Robbie Keane in if we can.... Experienced head and goal scorer. Will add some much needed grit. Shit or bust time. Are we about to do a Derby of 2 seasons ago?

Had talks but he wanted too much apparently, might be worth speculating now though.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Too much White Flag waving on NSC these days.

Yes and no. I normally try to keep balance - we had a spell of 5 League games last season without even scoring but went on to achieve 89 points so it can all change but conceding 7 goals in just over 200 mnutes in last week really worries me. We are nowhere near acceptable form for top half of the table, let alone promotion.

I just really thought, after Thursday, we'd at least show a bit more effort and bottle today.
Bring on the homes games.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

In the last 1 1/2 games.

Guess we've been riding our luck and a blip was overdue. Tho not a complete collapse.

 

[boik]

If we continue playing like this all feb, Which seems more and more likely.
You can kiss that nonsense goodbye and look forward to trying to get into play offs again!.

Or alternatively we might win our next 2 and things will be OK. Or is that not actually what you want? Just asking.

By the way, we could still actually get something from this match, but too many people don't seem to want that to happen. UTA!!!!

Get one back before half time and we'll all have a chuba.

 

[Wilko]

Come on fellas, we are allowed a little worry and concern, if people want to let off a little steam after the last few away games then let them, it is just passion.

 

[El Turi]

Even if we lose today (which is obviously now we likely) we are still in a strong position with two winnable home games coming up. The key thing is getting Bong, Stephens and Baldock back fit asap.

We don't want to get back to the days of lickers vs bedwetters...

8 goals

To all the happy clappy viewers - this IS a crisis. We have been lucky thistseason and our luck has run out. And we haven't sufficiently strengthened in January and other teams have. This isn't a blip. And knoackaert off form is also disastrous . We lean on him more than we think

 

[neilbard]

On the bright side Albion women are leading 0-3 at HT

 

[Triggaaar]

Isn't the Championship great. Let's do it again next season.

says Brentford are playing 4-3-3. This might give us options unless they change at HT.
