Brighton & Hove Albion vs Barnet *** Official Match Thread ***

[Dick Head]

Holibas sent off for Watford , misses Saturday's game

Who needs a left back anyway?

 

[TSB]

Here's clapped the whole ground when subbed. Last game in a blue and white shirt?

Don't think he'd have played tonight if that was the case.
But not impossible.

Well we are through, but seemed to make hard work of it.

Is anyone home yet

 

[wakeytom]

Yeah, Eleven.

Fair enough we (Sunderland) made 10 tonight and sounds like we scraped a win in similar fashion. I dont get managers trying to almost lose these games, one of my best memories as a fan was the League Cup final a few years back. Sort of thing and single day that either of us as fans will get often, I wish managers gave themselves a chance

 

[Wozza]

Let's hope we get a Premier League team in the nex... no wait, we play them every week now.

We won, some of the youngsters got a run out, Conner and Uwe were immense, Mollumby impressive and Knockhaert didn't get injured. Not too shabby.

Name ONE thing wrong with controlling the game and keeping posession? That is football. Keep the ball, they can't score and you control the game. If you are a goal up why not do that? If you do...you win. Which, if you had not noticed, is the aim of the game.

If you are a goal up yes. We were not for the first half. And when you are searching for a goal against a weaker side you attack them. We did not do that. So, you can have all the possession in the world, but if you are toothless there is little point.

I guess you had to be there to see it, then you'd agree I think.

And Tilley?

Oh yes; I nearly forgot, the new Peter Ward won the match for us.

Sweet.

I'm fingers crossed for Leeds United. It would be nice to put our reserves out against them and still win.

That, for me, would be the official moment The Albion become big time.

I don't give a shit about Sunderland ,so **** off FFS

Who did?

 

[Hamilton]

There is also nothing wrong with keeping the ball and probing the team and recycling the ball until a gap appears. Some people just want all out attack constantly.
Also, if you are toothless up front, like you think we are, why would you play to your weakness? If you keep the ball you can get 0-0.

There are players in our team that can hurt the opposition. There were too many times when we should have moved into the space in front of the goal. Instead we paid the opposition too much respect.

And, if you don't shoot, you don't score.

Bye bye Towell. Worst player on the pitch. Ince hasn't a future either. Barnet were drilled well, Molumby was exciting.

 

[portlock seagull]

Why should we be aiming for that score? I didn't realise goal difference was a thing in the cup!?
1-0, rested some 1st team players, kids got some valuable game time, job done. There is NOTHING to moan about.

Nurse nurse, he's out of bed again!

 

[Paris]

Anyone staying up for the draw on thursday morning? Might get the marigolds out.

Oh, stop crowing.

 

[Megazone]

And, if you don't shoot, you don't score.

Unless you head it.

 

[Hamilton]

If you force a ball you lose the ball. If you don't have the ball you are in trouble.

Who is talking about forcing when it is unwise to do so?

You had to be there I think.

Playing 4-5-1 at home to Barnet... Fair enough if you're getting the first team used to playing the formation but can't see the point in this instance.

From the club's Twitter team announcement:

BHAFC ️ ✔ ‎@OfficialBHAFC

#BHAFC team v #BFC: Maenpaa; Rosenior, Goldson, Huenemeier, Bong; Ince, Molumby; Knockaert, Towell, Skalak; Hemed.

- and looking where the semi-colons are placed, it would appear the intention was/is to play 4-2-3-1 rather than 4-5-1.

 

[Hamilton]

Ooooooo look at you! So, funny. It is much better to slay the team off for small errors instead of seeing the bigger picture.

Oh hang on. Yes you're right. They were absolutely amazing tonight. It was a scintillating performance. A 1-0 goal fest. I'm unworthy of giving any critical thoughts on that supreme performance I just witnessed.
