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

[Exilegull]

Optimistic but they are better than the position they´re in

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The last time De Zerbi lost 2 Prem games in a row was away to Brentford on October 14th 2022.

 

[BBassic]

I'm feeling unusually optimistic... 1-2 I reckon.

Pedro at the double.

 

[Gabbiano]

Given our run in, 3 points today would really be big in the chase for a European spot. Come on lads!

 

[Acker79]

Always nervous when we face them. I'm sure the stats don't back me up, but I always feel like they are a bogey team. Coupled with my usual pessimism, I'm expecting the worst.

 

[GT49er]

Last night's results were generally pretty favourable to us - but only if we can take advantage by taking three points. Don't care how we do it - but if I don't have to spend the last 20 minutes with my eyes shut tight, hiding behind the sofa, It'd be most grateful!

Come on lads!

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

All quiet down at Ashton Gate . Guess Im a bit early.

W 3 D1 L1 so far in the premier league, so based on stats the chances are we'll get at least a point.

Saying that I share your nerves, their squad feels much stronger than the season they are having so far would suggest

That’s because we’re at home. Very quiet here at the Amex though - should be a huge game this afternoon. Mitoma hat-trick.

 

[Official Old Man]

Oh no, he's Tier 2, in the binfest with all the others at 9am

Rumour has it that TBMBE didn't get a ticket, but his security guard did. Watch out for the small guy trying to squeeze through the gates, or the big guy with a pair of legs hanging out his jacket pocket.
Who wants to be the one who checks TB's ticket to make sure it's got his name on it?

 

[The Mole]

It's got nil-all written all over it

Not if Toney is playing unfortunately with his record against us!

 

[Is it PotG?]

I hope he/she fares better than the hapless soul checking Dick Knight's that evening.

 

[Si Gull]

Not if Toney is playing unfortunately with his record against us!

Indeed.....six league games without scoring, when do we think he'll score his next goal?

• Ivan Toney has scored three goals in his past two top-flight games against Brighton. However, he has gone six league appearances without a goal.

Only 2.5hrs to kick off. I'm sure it'll start picking up soon!
