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

[Weststander]

Only positive is we won't slip into the relegation zone...

... woo.

The positive for me, the same as last time, I didn’t waste four hours of my life on a visit to The Amex.

Usual positivity.

Burnley came for the draw. They got the draw. They are going down, we’ll improve.

Will we?

 

[boik]

All you people calling that performance shite, I presume that if one of our myriad shots had been flukily deflected in youd have called it brilliant?

 

[Birdie Boy]

Just a few questions, any answers greatly appreciated?

1. Why is Alzate not playing at the moment?
Because Potter hasn't got a clue.
2. Why was the tactic tonight CLEARLY to get crosses in when we're playing two of the best heading defenders?
When our cruises are shit, which the commentators just mentioned, I have no idea.
3. Why wait until 82 minutes to make a change?
Because Potter doesn't have a clue.
4. What are our short corners all about?
Because we can't cross the ball.
5. What is going on in training that results in our inability to take chances?
Nothing, literally nothing going on in training by the looks of it.
6. When does playing 'well' but not getting points become a problem?
Already had.
7. Which three teams are worse than us?
Burnley, Fulham and WBA

I am not a Potter out but they need to change something surely. We can't keep saying it will come good.

I really feel for Potter. We should have won that game at a canter. I am not finger pointing at anyone, we just need some luck

Frustrating doesn’t cover it

Team Potter here all the way

In sport, IMO, you make your own luck.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

What is the point of Burnley?

The sooner they get relegated the better.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Played some very good football tonight. One or two outstanding performances.

Not sure at the problem is with these wins though. It's not like they don't create chances.

No we didn’t. Our football is passive, our corners bewildering, it’s shite

 

[Nixonator]

Maupay just doesn’t think quick enough. Painfully slow decision making on turnovers.

This is what we deserve for not signing a decent striker/s.

Most of the time I’m hoping the ball will take a deflection off one of their defenders and roll in, about as incisive as we get currently.

 

[doogie004]

Excellent performance.

Sooooooo frustrating not to win it.

Played well. Can’t score. All foreplay, no shag.

Lallana is class though.

We really need someone to put the ball in the net and problem solved.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Exactly, we have some very wet pants on here tonight.

 

[Sheebo]

Another game we’ve dominated. Another game we’ve looked a good side. Another game we’ve not been clinical. More points dropped. Don’t know what to think

 

[Mackenzie]

Well played lads I enjoyed that. Shame we couldn’t finish one of the chances, otherwise excellent.

 

[Shooting Star]

Not so concerned about points or relegation. More concerned that we started the season looking absolutely excellent but unlucky. We looked like we were moving in all the right directions, but somehow we're now reaching a stasis. My only concern with Potter is that I'm not sure he knows how to stop a slide. What stopped the run of poor results last time was lockdown - we won't have that benefit this time.

Clean sheet. Positive.
Welbeck 82mins. Positive.
Dominated the game, created chances. Positive.
Can't score. Negative.

It's just not quite coming together in the final third. Over playing it when we need a quick shot, underplaying it when we need a bit of composure. Just hasn't clicked up top.

Despite committing a lot of players forward, Burnley barely a sniff, and Ryan stood up to a really stern test under those crosses. We're a very good side just waiting to burst into life at some point.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

BDB's worst game in a long time tonight. Maybe could do with a rest next game. Looked shattered toward the end.

 

[Peteinblack]

Seriously, if we can't beat West Brom or Burnley, who are we going to get 3 points against?

I'm sick of our attacks fizzling out because our forwards spend too long on the ball on the edge of the opponent's penalty area, playing one touch or pass too many, instead of shooting. Every damn game.

I feel sorry for Lallana - he must be so frustrated with some of the players around him. He's in a different class.

Oh, and I bet Potter will trout out the usual corporate BS in his post-match interview about 'taking the positives'. I can't even be bothered to listen anymore.

We look incapable of winning football matches. No subs till last 10 minutes when it was clear as day we weren’t going to score with what was on the pitch. Potter is taking us down.

The stats according to BBC Sussex, say that we are 2 points AHEAD against the same sides, so far.

Need to calm down way too early for panicking.
