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

[banjo]

We’re ****ing shit. Down to 4th now. Potter out.

 

[nwgull]

Get in there.

Would have lost this last season, fluke goal on the break. Team has a different feel this season.

Wasn’t really a fluke; it was a class finish!

(Also wasn’t on the break)

In our promotion season, he is pictured going mad in the away end when we scored late for a 3-3 draw at the game at Brentford. We had fought back from 2 nil down and we then saved a penalty, went onto equalise only for Brentford to seemingly and heartbreakingly snatch a win deep into injury time. We scored in the 4th minute of injury time to level up. Happy times!

I nominate BW2 as the ideal person to sit beside him

 

[Rambo]

Does this mean we're not last on MOTD?

Come on we all know that MOTD will be the Ronaldo show tonight. Nothing else will matter.

This makes no sense at all. I was SLAMMED for suggesting midfielders scoring more was the same as a striker scoring more.

Winners from Mac Allister and Trossard on our travels this year.

Apparently, Tony Bloom has a beef with one of the directors of Brentford Matthew Benham a former colleague in the sports gambling industry with whom he no longer wishes to associate, so, he rejected the director’s box and went and sat with the fans in the cheap seats. Wouldn't that be brilliant if you found yourself sat next to Tony for the match.

Indeed it would.

Albion match report says it’s the first time in our history, we’ve played ten international players. Only Maupay that hasn’t been capped as a full international.

I remember as a child how amazed and proud I felt when Willie Irvine was called for the Northern Ireland squad that we had an international player.
Now we have 10

Happy days.

It was a follow up to a reply to my match review post, where I identified Duffy as a weak link today and this season.

I'm buzzing about the result and the season so far, but I am also concerned as we haven't been as good going forward as last season, but bizarrely we've been a lot more clinical hence 3 great results.... I have just identified Duffy as a problem and a key factor why we're weaker going forward this season.

Yeah those clean sheets and goals are really holding the team back.
Certainly what I'd be highlighting after doing the things that most, dare I say including you, were critical of last season.

 

[Mackenzie]

Scrappy game, good win, hope Webster isn’t too badly injured

 

[Weststander]

Wow! What a great finish!

The early strike did it I think, the goalie was expecting an extra touch.

Muzza often did that in his first spell with us, goalies beaten before they realised it.

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

No shame in losing against a top 3 team.

At least this season (at the moment) we can say we have beaten teams below us!

 

[Baldseagull]

Disagree strongly.

I think losing White for Duffy has had a huge impact on our prowess going forward this season. Afterall, there are 11 players and Duffy is our weak link on the offense. Last year White, Dunk and Webster were all very effective and moving the ball forward.

But the team missed Duffys aerial ability, the reception is so much better on the dressing room TV now.

He means we would've lost it to a fluke goal on the break

 

[Bakero]

Sadly in this day and age yes

These days if you can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese you get arrested and thrown in jail.

BW2 would abandon the moaning and arse lick for two hours.

Easy. Thickness of noodles.

We already had big John Napier as well.

 

[Baldseagull]

Pleasing today to get the points without looking the best, a reverse of last seasons pattern. Cucurella looked ok for a first outing, and should get better, Webster injury is a worry but could be an opportunity for Roberts?

"Apparently" ! It very well documented, it was one of his employees that went rogue, he has done this several time at Brentford, always refused to go in to the directors box.

I don't know. I've read almost the entire internet and I can't remember a single time someone has been called a racist for not being able to tell foreign languages apart. Can I challenge you to provide one single link to where it's happened?

Or could it be a wild over exaggeration to score cheap points, which also feels very out of place in a football thread that right now is celebrating a fantastic win for BHA?
