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

[BevBHA]

If Wissa played for us and not them, we’d be 4-0 up

 

[Bodian]

The main difference is that when one of our attackers gets the ball, they have loads of players around them. We just don't seem to be able to play it to front players in actual space, or with a clear run on goal.

 

[WhingForPresident]

The irony of their 500 fans singing 'football in a library' on repeat when they've been silent and their home atmosphere is appalling.

 

[Flounce]

sub Enciso at half time pls, every chance falls to him but he’s f***ing it up every time. (I hope he scores now)

Why? He’s hit the post and we have been crying out for players to shoot not try and walk the ball into the net. First start this season, leave him on FFS

 

[Birdie Boy]

Can I have what you are on?

Moretti and a kit kat ice cream... he is clearly playing better than previously, surely?

 

[Steviewonder]

Maybe put Solly on for Mitoma after half time?

 

[AlbionBro]

Our attackers are so unconfident/wet aren't they.

Love that Damsgard takes on four of our players but not Veltman just then.

Brentford are poor but Wissa or Mbeumo won't f*** around if they get half the chance we've spurned.

You're dead right young man.
Where has their confidence to shoot gone? Did De Zerbi take it with him?

 

[Bombardier]

Well said

 

[Swegulls]

40 minutes and 8 shots later we're at 2 goals (both for Paraguay) in 96 shots. Can we get to 100?

You beat me to it, surely going for 100!

 

[Algernon]

Wayne Gretzky almost famously said "You miss 100%of the shots you don't take "
I.e. Fukken shoot and shoot some more.
And I agree.
However -
So far this evening the Enciso punchline writes itself.

 

[oldboyroy]

Super 1st half apart from the scoreline. Brentford can only improve 2nd half. Frank will lay into them. We have been so wasteful, it reminds me of that Palace robbery!

 

[macbeth]

absolutely abysmal defending from pervis there

Indeed. All the others are still looking to pass first, rather than shoot on sight.

 

[maltaseagull]

Rutter on for Enciso. Enciso to go out on loan or sold. Absolute rubbish

 

[Bodian]

And hopefully this is our 'poor half' given that we generally only have one good half.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Don’t matter how good you play or you can’t put the ball in the net would rather play shit and be 1-0 up then 0-0 and play ok

 

[US Seagull]

If we got points for style, we'd be out of sight already.

Unfortunately, it's only goals that count.

 

[Alex BH]

We’ve played really well, but we cannot finish. Several half chances, two real guilt edged chances. Sadly this has lockdown Potterball 80% possession 35 shots 1-0 defeat via a deflected own goal written all over it.

Julio will catch one right eventually

He needs to relax

and not listen to any of the fucktard melts posting here right now . . . . My guess is he doesn't have NSC on alert during the match, so that's a good start.

 

[Si Gull]

Brentford may be rubbish, but every time they break it feels like they're going to score. We're just too slow, still.
