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

[Lower West Stander]

To be honest, I'm not too fussed about finishing between 9th and 15th, so I wasn't too disappointed.
In the last few years every point seemed to be vital in the annual survival battle.
The players just had a really bad day today. It happens, and Burnley were more up for it today for obvious reasons.

No point going to any more games then

Sitting on the coach after the game for a good half hour and for the life of me can’t get any reception on my phone or access the WiFi in the ground.

I’m on O2, is it notoriously rubbish at the Amex?

Wasn’t it £13m?

All for the sake of a measly 13m

North Stand has turned into the match thread quite toxic from a minority of fans, although they do seem to be new fans who aren't usually here

They disappeared with their 8 year old boy before half time and didn't come back so test was one area the improved

Today we got what we deserved Nothing. I will say no more other than this team can't play any worse. Must improve next week.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Did Duffy have a point?

 

[birthofanorange]

Yeah - thanks for sharing your dazzling intellectual insight with us. You realise that personal abuse is not allowed on this site - but if that's all you've got to offer I guess sympathy is in order.

I stand by my original comment and your sympathy is neither wanted nor needed, but thanks for sharing.

I wonder who you are....really.

Did Duffy have a point?

Maybe. None of us here really know, do we? What is clear is that there was a lack of communication between them just before that which needs looking at with steps to ensure no repeats.

Did Duffy have a point?

Yeah, he did.

I never like seeing a keeper charging to his 18 yard line into a group of players to try and make a punch, its always a recipe for disaster. I dunno what Sanchez was thinking, but he needs to get a grip of these brainfarts that are edging into his game.

If he called for the ball Duffy should have left it. Looked to me he’d have got there. Senior pros should have more control, I think that incident caused Sanchez to lose concentration. Never right to shove your own player because he has a moan at you. This is not park football.

Disappointing from Duffy imo, Sanchez often comes off his line for crosses, he gets there the danger is gone, he doesn’t he looks a mug. Think Grobelaar

 

[Weststander]

Burnley last played on Sunday, giving them extra rest and prep time.

I would guess that Dyche played on that, with an energised team from the off.

All adding up to a perfect storm for us.

You may not have noticed but we are discussing today's game against Burnley. 'Whataboutism' doesn't cut the mustard.

But your post wasn’t about just this game was it !

I don't care whether he called for it or not. Coming THAT far off your line into a group of players on the 18 yard line to attempt a punch is totally unnecessary IMO. Let your defenders deal with it. I didn't like Duffy making a public show of it one bit, but I could certainly see where he was coming from.

Just got back from the game, the worst potter performance I've seen. No one stood out and I don't even think they bothered to announce a MOTM. All 3s and 4s including Potter.

Still, I'd rather be in our position than theirs.

I’ll have to re watch, I thought he’d have caught it and if you get it right it kils the danger dead. What’s not to like when your defence is being bullied?

Disagree, Argie Mac had a great game

 

[portslade seagull]

After the 1st five minutes my son and me agreed it wasn't going to be our day. We were 3rd best to any 2nd balls. There was no energy in the team

The risk/reward is too great coming out that far, IMO. It obliges other players to drop back to stand on the line, playing everyone onside, and often leads to general SHODDINESS.

 

[Mancgull]

I agree can't understand why Caicedo wasn't given a run out- nothing to lose at 3-0 down

Agree with that. We were getting bossed in midfield so we send on a 17 year old forward.

My sympathies are always with the intellectually challenged - there seem to be so many on social media. Sad souls who have no reasoning abilities so resort to personal abuse. As to whether I'm a 'knob' or not you have no real way of knowing as you have never met me and know nothing about me. Long may that be the case.
