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

[-gully-]

We need a half like Fulham where everything they hit went in

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

That elbow in the back of Murrays head was a red all day long. Way before the ball got there and was making no effort to jump. Deliberate elbow to the head but seen by the ref who decided not even a yellow.

The lack of consistency is shocking.

Presumably it will be a 3 match suspension like for Andone.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

A Lewis Dunk slip is all that has made the difference.
Not much quality but we have created more chances, Heaton keeps them in it and a clearance of the line and we should have had a penalty.
All the negativity is shameful.
Burnley are very strong and direct, if we attack at pace they cannot handle it, except for Heaton.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Right then, back from a social soiree.
What have I missed?

 

[Bodian]

I only got in after the goal, but we seem to have been all over them. March scaring them.

But, Andone gets a 3 game suspension for an elbow that only just connected. That elbow by Tarkowski was far worse - elbows in the back of the neck that you can't see coming can be pretty dangerous. But, won't get done as ref saw it.

 

[Mackenzie]

Very flat all round. Burnley look like they want it more. Fight Brighton.

 

[BrickTamland]

As much as Hughton must take some blame, we really aren’t getting the run of the green are we?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Luckily we signed those "players for the future" before the deadline to improve the side for the relegation scrap.

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Barnes is completely dominating dunk and Duffy in the air.

But he only scores penalties (which don't count)

 

[Steve in Japan]

Give over.

2 slots are filled and we will finish above Southampton

I want to agree but we really need to start finding some points somewhere.

It’s been a while since a similar standing side has outplayed us at home I’m quite concerned about this game unless we can get hold of the game in midfield. We’ve been unlucky not to score and we need that to end quite quickly in the 2nd half

Of course!

we cant keep saying at least we are hitting the target its just they have great keepers ...... but what else to say ... they wanted it more from the start , they were first to every second ball & they have been biting at out ankles with tackles ... it is not pretty but they are Burnley so what else would we expect.

We need to up our game thats for sure and be quicker about getting the ball from back to front , we are pedestrian with little idea of what to do other than a hoof forward ... the midfield is M.I.A. for most the first half ... but the positives are Gross and March are putting in a good shift .... not a lot else to be positive about as they pack 10 players into their penalty box making scoring an improbability ...

Oh and we should have had a penalty but thats our first half performance summed up .... should have but didnt

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Still amounts to Brighton nil.

No dispute with that but we've been a little unlucky that Heaton's on fire.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Need Bissouma on for Stephens at half time.

 

[Bwian]

We'll be balls deep in a relegation battle in a few weeks if we keep playing like this

In a few weeks? 3 points outside the bottom 3 suggests we are already balls deep. Factor in our manager-we're in trouble.

The big worry for me is the transition from defence to midfield; it's simply non-existent. Pass along the back for about a minute then hoof. Yes we've created chances, and shouldnt be behind, but the lack of options and movement when the back four have the ball is painful to watch

Spot on.

Crowd need to get behind the team in the second half. Battered them for the last 20 minutes and a good start in the second half and Burnley could start rocking.

This BT coverage is shockingly bias. Actually have a Burnley fan as a pundit?!
