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

[Eric the meek]

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.

That's probably my most favourite quote of all time.
And you are dead right with the 'however' about Enciso.
He isn't the one. He's not a team player.

 

[Mackenzie]

He may not have scored but at least Enciso is prepared to have a go and gets in the right positions.

Definitely having a go, as I said earlier he’ll catch one right eventually

 

[Vin]

will be an utter travesty if we don’t go on to win, which is so obviously what’s going to happen

Just like Palace a few years ago and Benteke

 

[chrisg]

You're right there isn't any tactics, Mitoma or Gruda need to find a yard and shoot like Mbeumo did.

Gruda goes on l

you can see technically gruda is a superstar in the making. or at least, i can. needs to hit the gym and put on a bit of weight

And learn to shoot and use his right foot

[Paulie Gualtieri]

absolutely abysmal defending from pervis there

Very lucky to get away with that
Really surprised we are prepared to loan Barco, Pervis hasn’t been great for months

 

[Littlemo]

We say that about all our players. I’d wish some of them were less in the making and a bit more fully made. We’d maybe score then!

 

[Springal]

No other fucker looks like scoring but let’s slag off the one guy who is actually trying to score. Unbeleivable

If his name was Neal Maupay or Ashley Barnes and he was wasting as many chances you’d not be sticking up for him. Very wasteful

 

[Krafty]

Lacking the confidence to score a goal at the moment. The fact that Brentford are the only team to have put the ball in the net speaks volumes about our lack of attacking threat.

 

[Machiavelli]

I thought Veltman.

You haven't witnessed his attempts at heading

 

[fruitnveg]

Need someone to grab the game and take some responsibility. At the moment only Enciso has had the bollocks to do it, regardless of how poor the results have been

 

[US Seagull]

Of Enciso gets one, I predict he'll go on and score a hattrick.

 

[Alex BH]

Can we please stop trying to walk the ball into the net? Instead, can we…

FH take note show the players this at HT

 

[Machiavelli]

Good first half, just lacking a cool finish. Enciso needs to relax and he's a goal away from going back to the player he was a season or so ago. Loving Gruda and O'Riley tonight.

Yeah. MOR has been very good

 

[A1X]

 

[Weststander]

The age old transfer question (going back to the Potter days) …. is there a decent striker available? When we thought we were amazing in the autumn, any injury to Welbeck was the main concern.

The difference between 6th and 11th, possibly.

 

[birthofanorange]

Despite our failure to score 1st half, I predict a 2 -0 win.
(And I don't care if it's 3 - 0)

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Good first half, deseve to be ahead and would be if Enciso was as good as he thinks he is. Shocking misses and decision making, hoping he starts making the right calls in the second half and one goes in for him. Positive he is getting in the right positions.

Really impressed with Gruda tonight, get him on the ball more. Baleba, O’Riley and Mitoma also looking good.

Hopefully we’ll get the goal we deserve early on in the second half.

 

[AlbionBro]

I hope to see the real Pedro on in the second half, he is way to deep.

 

[aolstudios]

Just like Palace a few years ago and Benteke

Thanks for the reminder

 

[Weststander]

By a mile.
Sadly he can't cover the whole defence

The greatest Albion FB ever.

Better than Stevens, Gregory, Bruno.

Bridge was great, but too short an Albion career.
