Brighton & Hove Albion vs Bristol City *** Official Match Thread ***

[ferring seagull]

I agree JS needs to be taken off but I can't believe that first half or, hang on, perhaps I can.

Boots and ars-- need to be brought together in the dressing room at HT

I wonder how much emotionally promotion has taken out of us? After last year we've been really focused on doing it this year maybe the Wigan game was a huge emotional release and now we're struggling to find the required intensity. This game and the norwich one we've looked like a midtable team with their minds elsewhere.

Still, we've come from behind a number of times this season so no reason why we won't here.

Come on the albion!

Yep - he's been awful

He actually started quite well imo

The negative effect of bottling the title after being 7 points clear with 3 to go is not to be underestimated.

We want to end the season on a high, not a whimper.

I think we should bring March on for Skalak second half. Bristol City have a record of losing points after being a goal or even two, or sometimes three up, so it's not over yet, but we need to be much better than that.

Jesus Christ.

We can lose today and still win the title. It's still within our hands. I despair at some of the comments on here and dread what it will be like on here next season.

If ever there was a game we should have been well up for it's this one.

If ever there was a game to look inspired and want to show the world you belong in the PL it's this one.

We've not even looked anything like inspired by the occasion.

 

[Motogull]

We're still in this.

At least none of our fans have lobbed anything at an opposition player unlike those spastics up the A23.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Can't believe he's starting ahead of March and Murphy....Unreal

I know someone people love him on here but he's usually pss poor , and on top of that he's a liability .

Can someone explain to me wtf he was doing with that first lunge on their player in our box, for which he should have been booked.

 

[Si Gull]

To be fair, BC look well up for it and their quick movement is causing us some problems. March/Murphy on for Skalak and hope AK channels his frustration into a couple of goals or assists.

 

[Icy Gull]

Just be grateful we're not having to go through the playoffs, the disappointment of being a bit shit today is nothing to how that would have ended again.

There's really only one salt...and that's Hughton's salt. Best served cold and dry.

Why on earth is skalak anywhere near the pitch when we have the directness of murphy and the quality of march. It beggers belief

The regularity with which both him and Hemed throw themselves to the ground because they don't have the technique to trap a ball or ride a challenge is amazing

 

[topbanana36]

Come on

 

[KZNSeagull]

Solly on for Jiri.

 

[OzMike]

Why are we so aggresive in these must win games.

 

[carteater]

Skalak off March on. Could that be his last appearance at the AMEX for us? He was dross in the first 45.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Is that CH's first unenforced half time substitution of the season?

 

[hart's shirt]

There's few things in football so irrelevant as a halftime score.

45 minutes to turn it around and get that trophy.

Time to prove that we're true Champions.

Get behind the lads wherever you are.

Up The Albion!

True

Well this will teach everyone for being so cocky about winning the league. You think some people would have seen enough to not take it for granted.

Some of us haven't taken it for granted, and won't unless or until it actually happens. Still hoping, though - and worried at the same time!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We are down 0-1, if we don't go full out attack then i'll be pissed right off.
