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

[maltaseagull]

What for? Holla, Bennett, Bruno and Gardner all smashed good chances over the bar whilst CMS was anonymous. Whilst I have no real support either way for JFC and try to judge players on their game by game performance however JFC is becoming the new Barnes with people picking up on every mistake he makes but never credit him when he deserves it or others make similar mistakes.

I think, once again we have to accept that the manager knows more than we do.Virgo was saying he played well tonight. Another ex pro who probably knows more than we do?

The team could do with Ulloa upfront and Kuszczak in goal.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

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.

I put the word "really" in for a reason. And there was only one good save that was necessary that I remember and the performance was solid apart from that in my opinion

 

[Da Man Clay]

Thought it was a good performance. Marshall was exceptional. Another day we would have won that comfortably. Much more entertaining to watch than last year and results aren't far away IMO.

 

[Invicta]

Thought we played well today - just need a bit of luck and an opposition keeper who doesn't have a blinder. Keep the faith .

 

[Mackenzie]

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

Yes, but I saw enough there to convince me that the team is improving. We are lacking a finisher though.

We don't need either.

We will start to win a lot of games very soon playing like that.

Have a quick glance at the table, we are 10 points off the lead.

That's 10 points, a little over 3 wins.

A decent run (which we WILL have) and we are knocking on the door very quickly.

Correction - WILL lead to relegation after 46 games! Let's hope it doesn't happen..........

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

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

So's Christmas- the only question is which comes first.

 

[Monkey Man]

We were positive throughout, won most of the 50-50s, worked hard, played decent passing football at a good pace ... everything except win the game.

As others have said, their keeper deserves a lot of credit.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

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

All part of following The Albion

Could not agree with you more. Shame more don't agree

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

That is true but I'm quite optimistic at the moment

 

[sir albion]

Yep it's blatantly clear we're lacking in one area and we're playing well

 

[neilbard]

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

So overall then what your saying is that were not quite up to the job

 

[Mackenzie]

Lets hope Baldock proves to be the man. Looks like CMS will be missing for a while with a hamstring injury, so it'll give Baldock a run of games to show us what he can do.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Averaging 1 point per game- keep it up and we should avoid relegation! #1club1ambition

Deep down I share your optimism, but I lost 500 Vbet cash today. Hyypia out!

Mmmmm I am hinting at it.

Some co** will no doubt pull some ridiculous stat to say otherwise.

18th, that's THE stat that counts

Hmm I don't know, last season a lot of people were complaining / moaning etc. but it seemed to me Brighton were playing good entertaining solid football and I couldn't understand how people could feel differently.

So far this season it seems to me that Brighton are all over the place and the football isn't as good, but I suppose it 6 of one and 12 of the other!
