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

[Weststander]

I actually enjoyed our performance, seems I am in the minority.

Same here.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Correct call by the ref who’s having a. Alright game so far

Standard Albion 1st half, too slow in the build up allowing Brentford to organise themselves.

Players need to move and find space / angles

We need to be careful as this has counter attack conceeder all over it

Wissa not watching the ball grabs Dunk. Happens all the time but I would argue Dunk can do what he needs to to get away and actually attempt to play the ball. If the referee sees the Dunk foul it would be interesting to ask him what he thinks Wissa was doing.

What’s the alternative? Dunk just stands there, unable to move with two hands wrapped round his waste? Pushing off entirely proportionate, he’s got a corner to get on the end of. Quite clearly didn’t start it.

 

[The Fits]

Yes, Welbeck has to be playing as much as his body will allow it at the moment.

 

[Swimboy64]

Slow build up, let them get everyone back and then send in a weak floated cross or a lame effort on goal… Brentford fans booing because we’re so boring?

Accurate description of Albion’s first half
It’s been going on for months
Ultra Boring and not a chance of scoring like that

 

[jordanseagull]

They allow those. In the same incident, a player did that to Igor the entire time.

The dumb rationale is always “Well, if they gave penalties for that, there’d be penalties every ten minutes”.

Agree, it’s not a penalty by itself. Dunk’s also allowed to shove him off, which he did, before being dragged to the ground. Do you think Dunk acted disproportionately to the situation?

 

[AlbionBro]

RDZ in the refs ear coming out of the tunnel, yellow coming for him later!

 

[METALMICKY]

Sorry but with regards the VAR decision there's some serious levels of over analysis skewed by blue and white tinted specs!

 

[AlbionBro]

Defenders shot from Veltman.

 

[Weststander]

Two pen claims by them in seconds, the first a blatant dive. Instructions by Frank to cheat.

 

[Si Gull]

Oh Velts, good chance.

No.

Why did the Little Hilter march 50 yards to tell Dunk off?

 

[HangletonGull]

Everything going through Belabe playing really well

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Game's switched up a gear hurrah

 

[Bodian]

Hope not - they're a better team/club than that - they don't need to.

 

[Si Gull]

Great interception by Dunk.

 

[Bodian]

No.

Why did the Little Hilter march 50 yards to tell Dunk off?

I think he went to explain his decision to Dunk rather than tell him off. Not sure why the Brentford players were calling for him to booked though.

 

[Marxo]

Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

Not much analysis needed, did Wissa have his hands wrapped around Dunk who then shoved him off or not lol? If he did it’s a clear pen

 

[Hendrax]

jesus, that passage was so poor.
