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

[bhafc99]

From the BBC, it sounds a lot like Thursday:

"Brentford are getting about their business really well today. They're playing with a really high level of energy that Brighton can not match at the moment."

 

[GreersElbow]

Why do people keep repeating this fallacy. Couple of defeats and people switch their brains off.

Don't say anything, you'll be called a troll

Holy shit, Bloom needs to liquidate the squad.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring

Same as Huddersfield did

4 points isn't it?

With the Newcastle match as insurance - at home.

 

[Mancgull]

We need to score before h/t

Still plus 9 if it stays 2-0

And if you lose two and win two, pretty much equates the goal difference.

Hughton needs to show his SALT at HT.

No Stephens and Baldock = no energy in our play.

 

[Gully Forever]

Of course, keep this up and we're going DOWN.

He doesn't mean that. He means we look like a shite team that is fighting to stay up.

Christ, I was wondering where all the miserable ****ers hung out when things went well...it's the match day threads.

I don't mind what people call me, but I do wish they'd support the team.

Massive, ridiculous over reaction. Every side has a dip, we've still lost less than Newcastle and we're at home to Burton and Ipswich next so things could look very different again in 10 days time.

Calm the F down!

Big fat this. Some of the comments on this thread make it sound as if we're in the bottom three fighting for our lives.

Current live table: We're 2nd, 4 points clear of 3rd with a game in hand. What a disaster.

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!

That's crossed my mind too

Our passing just 71%. Better than against Huddersfield when it was only 61%.

I predicted 2-3. Wishful thinking, I expect.

 

[My Name Is Gully]

How bizarre that sitting in SECOND spot some people have us as season over - what a resilient bunch !

 

[ferring seagull]

Missed an opportunity, 2 Premier League youngsters in on loan is not what we should have been getting in but tried and tested quality

Yeah but will they even feature at any time or are they just there for show ?
I agree it seems it was just assumed that we would progress as in the first half of the season without strengthening in the window whilst teams like Brentford and Barnsley sell their top players and don't even miss a beat !
