[Albion] ***Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth Official match thread***

[Pretty pink fairy]

This result is not entirely unexpected. It would have been nice if the lads had surprised us, but alas they aren't up to it.

This has been a very poor season, I can't wait for it to end.

where ?

We are light years from the prem Bournemouth have showed what it takes to play shite and win and good luck to them deserve to go up but they will come straight back down again

 

[Bognor Seagull]

Hopefully no one left at the end. The players don't deserve an applause. Overpaid cack of shite the lot of them.

 

[jimbob5]

well if they can't be bothered I'm sure I can't be!

 

[Stuart Munday]

Not good enough to even test a team that did not turn up.
Best should have scored and we should have had a penalty.
But this is a terrible performance, it is all very depressing.
Cannot wait to see what changes are made in the summer though (if any)

If we end up spending 2 million on another short striker then that's it from me

I'm not all that bothered. Cheaper in the third division if nothing else.

 

[Simster]

If your chairman sells your best players and tries to replace them on the cheap that's what you get. We are reaping the rewards of a complete f*** up by Bloom and his ridiculous recruitment system.

I'd love to hear him actually accept some responsibility for the shambles he has overseen this season.

Dislike if you want but we deserve to get relegated at this rate.

Hard to argue with either of these. We really are unbelieveably shite.

 

[The Rattler]

That has given me the right hump

 

[hitony]

Watching Tommy Elphick being interviewed he is so mature and professional.....shame he left us, a great pro..

 

[crookie]

I could accept being turned over by a team on fire at the top of the league. To be at home against that said team and for them to play absolute shite for 60mins and us fail to trouble their keeper in 90 mins is an absolute disgrace

 

[sjamesb3466]

Whilst I would never want us to be relegated I am honestly wondering if it is necessary to turn this squad around. When you look at the age and quality of the players in the squad I think most people would struggle to pick 6 players that they would keep. With that number of players needing replacing sometimes a complete clear out after a relegation can be the easiest way to go.

Either way I would have a complete clear out next season. Put Walton in goal, bring through Rea and keep Stephens, Ince and Kayal in the middle. I would even rather Fenelon up front than the current strikers as although he does not look like a Championship (or even League One player) I would hope he at least shows some hunger and passion for the shirt.

I may be talking shite after a few but I just can't see how next season is going to be much better as I can't see Bloom backing Hughton in the way we need him to.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Elphick summed it up " Brighton do things different, it's never going to be hard coming here". Cheers Tom

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Thank god I come back from holiday today with a stinking head cold and didn't feel up to going tonight, otherwise I'd really be spitting my dummy out about the sub standard loanees we have.
Can't wait for next season and automatic promotion

 

[SteveTheSeagull]

Seriously need to shake things up. Aswell as crap players who have no drive. The formation is wrong. We could have Messi, Ronaldo an Bale in this squad and they wouldn't score. Useless. #rantoverneedadrink

 

[GT49er]

Geez, there's some crap on here tonight! Hughton is Hyypia Mk.2? Oh, for heavens sake!

Yes, I'm disappointed tonight - didn't expect to get much against high-flying B'muff - but we weren't far from getting a draw. I'm disappointed with the season too, but at least we've got a manager in who knows his way around. He has (all but mathematically) kept us up - and that wasn't going to happen back in December! OK, he hasn't got everything right, but he doesn't have much to work with.

 

[warmleyseagull]

To be fair, Bmuff have won 5 and drawn 3 of last 8. They are on 80 points with 4 to play, an excellent side. They have so many goals orders

We competed for 65 minutes but with no cutting edge. This simply has put be resolved in the summer.

Makes Hyppia look not a lot worse than Hughton.

 

[nwgull]

Did anyone expect anything else? The reason it's so disappointing is because we held them for 70 mins. The positive is that we weren't stuffed and our good GD is more or less intact.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

Maybe the players should all leave a large dishy turd in the changing room. They have already left one on the pitch.

 

[portlock seagull]

Obvious I know..........but I have never seen a team need a striker as badly as we do........it really is dire....

Incredible isn't it. But it's a problem we've had for years. 1 striker at the club (I don't mean trade description ie CMS but someone who does score) isn't enough.
