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

[The Fifth Column]

Based on that performance it seems the Championship has got better but we haven't.

Another thought, there's no point in singling players out today. Everybody had a bad game. It's impossible for every player to turn bad overnight so the only possible explanation is the system has changed and it's not working.

A horrible, horrible performance. Did have some concerns that they may have been a hangover from last season and I hope this is what it is. But we certainly haven't helped ourselves with what I would describe as an average transfer window. Personally I would have sold Stephens and got the striker we absolutely need. Hemed and Murray cant play together, neither has pace to go in behind making easy for teams to defend against us and neither Bladock or Elvis are up to it. I admit to being concerned.

I disagree, we've got much worse. Last years team would've won 5-0 against today's Albion.

It was a bad day at the office, like Cardiff last season. The question is how Hughton, the players and the fans respond on Tuesday.

The team I saw play against Middeseboriugh and Burnley would have probably drawn.

We are the equivalent of 2 pts worse off this time. Last time we lost 0-2 to Cambridge United who finished mid-table like I expect Brentford to do.

Stranger defending in the PL this afternoon.

Pretty good. Do you go to away games?.

Yes.
