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

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Happens almost every time he plays. Always lacklustre when it comes to defensive duties.

I have struggled for some time to see what he does to deserve a slot in the team. Think he's spent too many days in his youth in brown cafe's

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.

Why are you always so desperate to set the rules of engagement on threads? Really tiresome.

 

[Sheebo]

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

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.

 

[Icy Gull]

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.

We NEED to win, we only just getting some confidence back. Another defeat would hit us hard

 

[The Fits]

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.

Treatment of Alzate seems unfair.
He's massively gone backwards since the start of last season.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I sit here and hope for so much more............

Shout out to the genius playing “Give It Away” over the stadium PA at half time

I use a Fire Stick with VPN and IPTV Smarters - gives me most of what I need - can you suggest who is showing "Notorious" tonight that's not PPV?

If you download Kodi on it then add Rising tides addon to Kodi all should be good in the world. [emoji106]

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

Agreed but why hasn't Alzate played? Baffled at blooding him so much last season and discarding him so much this

Our defence always looks too static, it's our real achilles heel

 

[neilbard]

If we lose this I will have to cancel my Tangerine Dream night..

 

[kjgood]

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

We seem to have turned 'The Lion' into a typical Brighton player already, incapable of controlling the ball, frightened to take players on and forgetting where the goal is.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Much better still.

 

[Sheebo]

Not a bad first half.

Bissouma & Veltman both looking leagues above, which of course they literally are. Worldie by Biss, albeit took 3 attempts!

Poor defending for the goal. Switched off. They were mentally at half time already. Need to learn from this... at least it's not a Premier League game.

Zequiri not looking ready for the first team unfortunately. Too many chances squandered, although getting in good positions.

Looking very dangerous from corners - but need to get them on target!!

Reckon we'll win this, although it might be long and drawn out like Newport was.

Don’t think we’ve played well but we are certainly looking like the prem football team which often doesn’t happen in these cup games. Even when nowhere near top gear we still dominate the game which is a nice change from decades gone by eh!

Obviously its preferable to win but whatever happens I think the players will have the Leeds game in their back rather than this one when they go to face Fulham. But yes a win would be nice, not least to **** over that Amex ghost a bit.

 

[sydney]

He is a Dutch international but that doesn't mean much these days. Dominic Solanke is an England International.

He's played 19 games. Hardly the Dutch Beckham.

oh what the **** ever .....propper is a whopper and ...well .....he's a bit of a ponce.

Perhaps he’s played at this level in training......

Very poor

Add to that ... Blackpool have the best striker on the pitch.

Sport like life isn't fair. It's about different opinions on players. Potter stands or falls by results and so he picks who he thinks will get the best result. What is fair on any individual player won't come into it. Agree tho, it does seem strange after a good season last year what has happened to him. Only person who can do anything to change the managers mind is however himself.

I see the usual bed wetters are about then.

I see the usual apologists are also well represented!
