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

[Deleted member 2719]

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

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

 

[The Fits]

Just a few questions, any answers greatly appreciated?

1. Why is Alzate not playing at the moment?
2. Why was the tactic tonight CLEARLY to get crosses in when we're playing two of the best heading defenders?
3. Why wait until 82 minutes to make a change?
4. What are our short corners all about?
5. What is going on in training that results in our inability to take chances?
6. When does playing 'well' but not getting points become a problem?
7. Which three teams are worse than us?

 

[Dick Head]

What a load of old shit!

 

[Lindfield23]

Shades of England 0-0 Algeria at the World Cup a few years back - one side sitting back, playing for a draw, the other spunking away chance after chance through poorly-hit crosses and miscued shots

 

[Driver8]

It’s OK, GP is happy with with the forwards he has.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Poor finishing? Check.

Shit crosses? Check

Another two points dropped at home? Check

Stupid set pieces? Check

Total waste of 15 quid? Check

Going down? Check again

Lovely performance though

Shocking. We could have played for five hours and wouldn’t have scored. Did Pope even make a save second half?

 

[The Wizard]

Maupay was shocking today, didn’t look hungry for it like he usually does. Clearly the beef isn’t buried totally, his lack of conviction and willingness to pass when his teammates were in better positions for a shot than him was very disappointing.

Defensively we were good.

 

[Eeyore]

Booooooooo Potter is having a mare

Not sure what more he could have done really. I don't think managers are allowed to run on and try and take shots.

Wonder how all those that used to say "I'd rather loose 2-3 than watch the Houghton anti football"...where we actually used to win and score sometimes feel now.

 

[Thompson720]

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

... woo.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Come on then Ali, show us what you have.

Unfortunately he did exactly that. We'd all love him to do well, but he's got nothing at this level.

 

[Icy Gull]

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

8. Yes.

Poor tactics, poor substitutions and poor tactics. Sorry they need a shake up. Potter is in the last chance saloon.

 

[jcdenton08]

Alarm bells.

Hehe. Snigger. A joke about bed wetting. Grow up.

He could have taken the totally inept maupay and gross off for starters

 

[portslade seagull]

Waiting for Potless to come on and suck a load of air through his teeth, tell us that Burnley are a good side and we will need to learn from this. Then blame the fans as we expect to win everything!

Burnley are a good team will definitely be said. The only good thing is the clean sheet. The inability to sign the striker we needed now biting us

 

[Mike Small]

WHAT is the ****ing poor in bringing on Jahanbaksh when he crosses it into the arms of their 7 foot goalkeeper twice within a minute. Twice. We accept mediocrity and mehness. This come from the Potter Imho. Ok today 1 point. Fine but I’m still reeling from WBA second half performance. Unforgivable. DAN BURN is not a wing back! That cross when he could have driven it into the area and then crossed it but simply kicked it out. What is the ****ing point. See what I’ve done there?
