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

[SEWDONIM]

Neither if we play like that again...

Sorry to break it to you, but you don't have a choice.

A win is a win, we're now on a run and that's all that really matters; given Zeqiri, Tau, Propper, Walton and Alzate have barely featured this season for various reasons - I think a 2-1 win against a side with nothing to lose is a great result.

 

[vagabond]

Yes. Today it was Tau & Zeqiri followed by March, Maupay, Trossard, Pröpper & Groß with Webster and Dunk a few inches over the crossbar again with headers from corners.

I really don’t know what the answer is.

It’s just lack of quality isn’t it.

I do think Tau will get better, Zequiri is complete raw and needs to go out on loan to play more. Maupay will score 1 in 5 good chances. Aaron will score the odd goal for us, but seems injury prone. Welbeck is basically a sick note.

It’s frustrating as it’s so clear we’re lacking real quality up front. I’m not saying it’s easy for recruitment to solve, but it’s clearly an issue that needs to be addressed.

 

[Swansman]

BT not bother to interview the managers or players?

oh no my saturday is ruined

 

[Skaville]

Er....
I am talking about Bia, a player who will cost £12 million. I've never mentioned Nunez. Why on earth would I?
We need a striker. If you can't see that you are in utter denial. That's not to say we stop signing young players.
But we need a striker.

We need the right player at the right price within the wage structure. Other clubs interested and the agent seems a dick. It’s really not that simple.

Why are you having to patronise other posters and say nothing but doom and gloom when the Albion just won?! Really? I feel for you as somethings not right. I’m sorry we won and you’re annoyed but most of us support the team BHAFC so are happy when we win games or draw certain games. Have a lovely evening!

You called me directly out so don’t get upset when it comes back your way. It’s only a football match Sheebo. It’s really not that important to me at all. Don’t let it or what anyone says about it on a silly Internet forum upset you so much. It’s only a game. Let it go. Hope my DMs are safe.

Next up Leicester away, cup exit coming on strong..

That’ll be an enjoyable night for you then, as you seem to have a lot of fun when we’re not doing very well.

 

[London Irish]

Who do we fancy more?

Brentford who are fighting for a place in the play-offs, or Leicester who need to maintain form to keep their top 4 spot..

Both our opponent's have a lot at stake if they go on a long FA Cup run.

Intriguingly the Brighton lad Fin Stevens led their midfield in the last cup game

 

[Icy Gull]

In retrospect after just a few minutes, we won, that’s all that really matters, Onwards and upwards

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Job done, good result. Useful training exercise.

Now to focus on Fulham.

 

[SEWDONIM]

You are right but the frustration levels at how many sitters we miss is now starting to wear

It's absurd how every single one of our strikers shoot at the goalkeeper rather than to the sides, this can really be resolved by us getting in some kind of specialist coach for Maupay, Connolly and Trossard. It's like if we just increase their conversion rate by 50% we'd see a handful more goals.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

The job got done but the positivity I was feeling after the Leeds result and performance has largely evaporated after watching that. Lacking composure and quality in the final third yet again, big improvement needed to get the result against Fulham.

 

[neilbard]

Yes I agree.

I’m more frustrated at the rubbish we’ve bought under Hughton and Potter.

More under Potter, Maupay for one

Oh I’m not upset one bit - but thanks for telling me how I’m feeling I hope you find the happiness and fulfilment you’re missing in life soon Wouldn’t DM you ever - you’re a bit of a **** it seems Bye

Bright side is that we got a deflection that won us a game rather than a deflection (off Webster of course) costing us a win or meaning we lost. Always look on the bright side of life!!

Oh damn. I forgot that we're expected to win the FA Cup this year.

How stupid of me.

 

[London Irish]

I think he should go and get a job as a manager, then he’ll see it’s not as simplistic as he makes it sound. Adds nothing to commentary imo (apart from annoying me )

Mind you I know you’d annoy me as a pundit too

Great shame we don't have a version of Arsenal Fan TV just for you!

My insinuation is that we are likely to and need to which will ultimately cost more.

Yeah I know, most of this season has been a blast for me...

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Brighton won

Pompey lost

I've got a beer on the go

All is good

Potter seems to feel we can win it, with the team and subs he put out today..
