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

[TottonSeagull]

What did we do to upset ultra depressing Virgo?

Two squads of similar cost, Virgo heaping praise on the one with home advantage for their defence, scathing of us.

Rightly so because we have been shite and thats the norm for the past few weeks!

 

[Bridcutt]

We don't look threatening at all, struggle to remember a game recently where we tested the opposing keeper lots. What's happened?

 

[Steve in Japan]

Good try with the ref blame, but I'm not buying it. I'd prefer to blame our lack of moving the ball quick enough to create space. There is still chance to grab the three points.

Not blaming him really, we've been very pedestrian

 

[Weststander]

True enough but look at the season as a whole. The shots per game has definitely tailed off. We might still play keep ball but the pace and incision has fallen away. Injuries are definitely a factor but that iron clad team spirit of last season feels a little more made of tin.

And I sincerely hope we score, the players are lost in a group bundle and RDZ orchestrates the away support with some full blast air punching.

- World class Caicedo and Macca.
- Macca was wonderfully creative.
- Mitoma unplayable.
- Solly is a brilliant PL footballer, driving us forward and under RDZ vital goals.
- Ferguson caught the PL by storm.

It wasn’t a different team spirit, it was brilliant first XI.

That was better

Something just woke me up. What happened?

"It came off Dunk" - surely he meant a "Calculated head back to the keeper by Dunk"?

No because they followed up by implying he REALLY didn't mean it!!

 

[swindonseagull]

Christ this is a poor game.

Its not that good.

 

[Swegulls]

Welbz, best chance so far!

 

[zefarelly]

My gut feeling is Frank wants to let us run ourselves down, then catch us late

Hopefully we defend as well as sunday

I broke wind. Sorry.

It's not a great advert for Championship football

I’ve started doing the crossword. Let me know if something interesting happens

Maybe the injuries is due to the manager?

it occurs to me that Undav seems injury free and scoring!?

Both sets of fans… directed at anyone choosing to watch this on the tele

 

[RandyWanger]

We love that ball into a congested area while our player has his back to goal

 

[Zeberdi]

1. Run down the wings.
2. Check the run.
3. Cut back, allowing the opponent to regain their defensive solidity.

Cross it first time while they’re running back towards their own goal. Please.

Yeah we know how it’s supposed to work in principle but in practice we’re wading in mud and completely lack any clinical finishing - terrible game whatever the final score.Should have brought Welbeck on earlier - waste of space having Lallana up front.

The ITK posters here said Undav insisted on playing back in Germany.

91st minute winner?

 

[dolphins]

Three minutes more of this.
