[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Cardiff City *** Official Match Day Thread ***

I take you only watched 10 seconds of the game then.

Excellent goalkeeping performance with one error.

GK is unique - one error can has a massive effect on the result, and it can be clearcut their fault (i.e. not a catalogue of errors in play leading up to a goal).

 

[Mackenzie]

So gaining one point at home is a positive? One goal in four games- and that was from a defender!

Their keeper played a blinder. We played well.

zamora was in the programme today i think, maybe he's coming back

 

[Eeyore]

Tonight we took our chances, it's not our fault that Vincent Tan employed a hypnotherapist who has convinced Marshall that he is Pat Jennings.

 

[Gluteus Maximus]

Good performance, feared a lot worse, should have won. Yep need a dangerous striker but goals will come. Don't know what game some people are watching...

JFC is anonymous most games and offers sweet fa...That's clear to see pal

He'll be even more anonymous after picking up a 5th yellow tonight

 

[Weststander]

I'm with you, I think it's coming and Cardiff and no mugs yet we didn't really give them a sniff.

Didn't give them a sniff .... doesn't fit in with the blinding save and fantastic performance, which I've just been told that Stockdale gave tonight.

We need to sign this chap -

Agree he can be anonymous at times but I was commenting on tonight's performance where I thought he played some nice through balls and competed well. So what's clear to see is that many just can't judge players on their performance in that game.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I agree about the lack of goals with the chances we created, unfortunately most fell to JFC, shocking shooting display, at least one should have been a goal.
Cardiff were very well organised and defended with 9 and with Marshall in the goal he made the difference.
But another team that were there for the taking, Cardiff had no intention of attacking with any purpose and were happy to sit back, with their team that is pretty shocking, Noone, jones, Whittingham, they came for a point and got it through a goalkeeping error, very frustrating, again, but i thought that we looked good in the 2nd half.
I honestly do not think that Sammi knows his best team or formation yet, and i would like to know what has happened to Tex over the past few games.

 

[Hyperion]

I'll pick out a pointless stat.
I'll use bed wetter to make me look big
I'll be blindly sarcastic


It's a bloody results business. We ain't getting results. Our defence are scoring but can't defend. Our strikers can barely score at all.

Our manager insists in leaving people like Ince and McCourt on the bench. Blindly following his own weird ethos.

We can't score, when we do we can't defend. I could not care less about possession or shots.

It's goals and solid defending and quality on the pitch. We have none of that at present

Makes you wonder doesn't it.

Thought we played well. Unlucky. 2 points against teams with much bigger budgets.

You're quick to blame for a mistake yet you're not giving credit when dunk messed up and stockdale saved it in a situation where it would be a goal more often than not.

 

[Gazwag]

Why do we always get rubbish refs and keepers who play out of their skin

 

[nwgull]

If a keeper could have the kind of freak performance Marshall had tonight, every week, he'd be worth £80M ffs.

Not every game, but it'd be nice for him to have had at least one in the first 10. Our opposition's keepers seem to be annoyingly capable!

 

[TonyW]

Gifted them a goal though. If you're keeper makes errors like that, if wipes out everything else.

No it bloody doesn't.

A great keeper will always make the odd mistake.

I'm just glad ALL the other 21 players on the pitch are gifted miracle workers, and never do anything wrong, the lucky buggers.

We will hammer someone one day. Maybe.

Story of the season so far but bear in mind averaging a point a game can lead to relegation after 46 games.

Conceded 1 goal in 3 games, and that could well prove to be Dunk's fault.

Not too bad in my opinion.
