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

[Simster]

Blimey, I know Percy hasn't been great. But he's new to the country, new to the team and only had limited time. People need to give him a chance before writing him off. Biss started pretty slowly and look at him now.

Very true. I guess we are hoping some of our new signings take a medium amount of time, like say Mac Allister

I seem to be absolutely alone in thinking that Tau did alright for us today. Yes, a lot of what he tried didn’t come off, but (and to me this is important) he tended to be facing and running in the right direction.

Except at corners. Why did we need two players to take a corner?

Imagine not being able to just write your thoughts on here and having an underlying agenda influencing every single post you make - can’t be fun can it!!?!? Waste of time I’d say. There’s a few I’m afraid. Literally love coming on here when we don’t perform well or lose yet when we win barely post - just bizarre.

It’s so bloody tedious, a bit unhealthy and a little bit sad. One thing that always pisses me off Is this board rarely if ever gives the opposition credit. They’ve done their homework, executed the game plan well and caused us problems at times. It’s the cup FFS!

I was almost swinging to Potter IN until those subs, he is a ****ing idiot, we have a massive game midweek.

It's to give them an easy run out, keep them mobile

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Bit strange to have Moder on the bench and not give him a run out.

He still might.

Agree except Biss looked absolute class from the first moment he walked on the pitch for us.

Zequiri needs to go out on loan to a league 1 team to find his level. Useless touch and crap finishing.

Champ, but agree. He looks a lot rawer than Gyorkeres (and a remarkably similar player).

 

[sydney]

You’re right Ali Mac is playing brilliantly. And that’s what we want to keep him fresh for Fulham which is a huge game.

probably would have scored with another 5 minutes.

 

[Seasidesage]

Really? Seem sensible to me. Try and make sure of the win and give a couple of kids a run out later in the half.

Maupay maybe. But I thought McAllister was just starting to get into the game and why risk March? He's so important to us currently...

 

[Albion Dan]

Why? They still might come on later.

Didn’t realise 5 subs. Regardless if we were comfortable they’d have likely come on already.

Early days I know but Tao and Zeqiri both looked shit.



Especially Tao. And Zeqiri.

I fear that you will still be saying that in 6 months time

 

[GT49er]

absolutely spot on... we look so much better with Mac Alister wanting to shoot/go forward.

........ so straightaway we take him off.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Alzate’s biggest contribution to the game.

Also, why out two people out to take the corner. Where Alexi Mac puts the ball down it’s clear he’s taking it as the corner flag cuts Tau out?

Makes the opposition set-up for the possibility of a short corner creating space for our target men? Pep uses this method but obviously doesn’t get the same grief as Potter.

Risking injury, the risk to reward is marginal..

Mystifying as usual from Potter

Why on earth is it mystifying.

Don’t get the comments re subs.

We have had a whole week off and he’s bringing on 3 of our best players to:

a. Make sure we win at home!
B. Give them a 30 min run out to make sure they are not too rusty come Wednesday.

 

[Swansman]

Should ban Trossard from playing in the FA Cup

Wasteful today IMO.

Think he’s okay though....

You’re not alone

Just the usual negativity from the usual suspects.

They tend to shout the loudest.
