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

[Sheebo]

My observations from the first half.

Burn just isn’t good enough
Alzate looks like he hasn’t played, which he hasn’t
Veltman and Biss have looked quality
Tau looks promising
Zequiri is a bit of a headless chicken
Propper needs to show more urgency
We could lose this game

Can’t argue with any of them. Feel for Alzate as he’s out of position again and I don’t like this of Potter really. Think we’ll win it but need more urgency - dominating the game / ball very well as usual but need that cutting edge.

Can’t argue with any of that.

Potter needs to shake them up, there are quite a few strolling around....

With Tau, and I keep saying this, he isn't a striker. Whatever the South Africans say on Twitter, he isn't a goal machine. He isn't a natural finisher. He is a runner and a creater. Playing too high up the field and too central negates what he is best at.

You just have a way with being as negative as possible... Like there are no setbacks allowed and everything should always be plain sailing - not sure what you expect every single game, but your posts are pure negativity against the team and manager every time I unfortunately see them.

Ultimately what you wrote described exactly what I wrote. I see no difference. Negative against the manager much more than the team I think you’ll find.

I’m watching on Virgin. Go to BT sport 2 and press red button and you get choice of games.

I wouldn’t bother if I were you...

 

[Stato]

Are we blagging it hanging on in the EPL. Are we just a bang average team, or is it the managers system making us look average? We should be beating teams like Blackpool.

Please no. Nobody 'should be beating teams like'. We should be creating more, we should be defending better late in the half, we should have better quality in our passing. None of these have anything to do with the current rank of the opposition.

We won last week. Forgotten already?

Saying “Potter is a pillock” just makes you sound like a dumbass kid to be honest.

Fantastic, I really don’t care what you think to be honest!

Tau doesn't look promising on the channel I am watching.

Alzate doesn't look right (in the close of him) but still is moving ball forward.

Looks like we have someone who can take a decent corner, need to get someone who can head the ball in.

Potter will always be divisive amongst the fans when the team can’t finish sides off. Happens week in week out we go 1 up, and get pegged back. Pretty passing footie only gets you so far. And we’ve only had 1 shot on target ahpgainst a side two leagues below us. Bet Fulham aren’t shaking their boots

I Wouldn’t care about this game if the players are saving themselves for Fulham but if we play with that intensity and lack of quality going forward we won’t win what is arguably a massive game in our season

Before the Porter out brigade get all excited, can we wait until full time before all the insults and “Porter outs”.

We haven’t lost yet.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I am now thinking that this IS the Brighton Way. It's just the way we do things.

 

[Skaville]

One day The Pillock Potter may work out a way to get his players to concentrate for the full 45 mins plus injury time!

Definitely the managers fault that a Dutch international played a sloppy pass. Definitely.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Thought Tau looked useful and had made some good runs with decent distribution.

This...but I would like to see him get the ball and try to go past a few of these lower div players if only to get his mojo going

Could also win.. : )

I'm finding myself not really caring... quarter finals is when it starts to get a bit interesting. League games without seeing/hearing the crowd is one thing, cup games.. its pretty dull imo.

 

[SeagullinExile]

I see the usual bed wetters are about then.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Let's just win this with out playing extra-time.
Moder on for Propper, and Khadra on for Alazate.

 

[Albion Dan]

[emoji106] well said Sheebo.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Very easy to clear up how far out the goal was. We very handily cut the grass in 6 yard stripes so it was nigh on exactly 30 yards.

 

[Mackenzie]

Pretty much attack against defence. It’s not brilliant but I’m optimistic.
