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

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Propper and Stephens off, Kayal and Andone on please. 4-4-2 with Gross dropping back alongside Kayal.

His unwavering faith in both Stephens and Propper is costing him, us and the club as a whole.

Whilst I totally agree about Stephens and Propper who have been dreadful, I’m not sure about Gross in there as it looks to me like we’ve rushed him back. He doesn’t look fit, looks even slower than usual.

The really saddening thing is if/when we are relegated we won’t be missed. We were everybody’s good news story when we came up but since then we’ve played such stodgy, unadventurous stuff they’ll be glad to see us go.

And then there’s the Nigels. Oh, the shame of it all!

I’m sorry, but our reaction, after the Bournemouth game is quite simply embarrassingly.

This isn't on Hughton. The player's just aren't playing well enough.

Who selects them? Who trains them? Who coaches them? Who motivates them? The f.ucking tealady? Of course it's down to Hughton and his coaches..

Stephens and AJ are shit. Thank god we have Knocky on the bench..... oh wait!

 

[hart's shirt]

Stephens needs to have a serious look at himself in the mirror at halftime and sort himself out before he's subbed.

The promised reaction hasn't happened.

It needs to.

Now.

Shot to bits on confidence can't see it changing but live in hope

Simply not good enough, we look every bit the relegated team already.
Absolute disaster

Every player bar Bruno is having a stinker.

Bruno for the manager then.

Cocky NSC’ers in the autumn laughing at the relegation in waiting of CP and Burnley.

Who’s laughing now?

 

[Happy Exile]

We've had more possession, more passes, more accurate passing, more corners and more shots according to the stats...It's not a great performance, but the goal aside it's better than Cardiff. Yes, I know it's the goal that *actually* matters and makes all the difference, but it suggests if we can find a way to hit the barn door with the proverbial just once then we might scratch out a draw. Glass half full here still, but only just.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Blatent penalty early as we all knew. Shocking.

Gonna cost us and keeps happening all season.

I don't think it is. We have got back many of the thing we were missing against Bournemouth, like effort and determination. It's just that Cardiff have even more of it - and we are not able to pass round them, mainly because we don't seem to know where our players are.

That is - we've got the effort back, but not the quality.

 

[London Irish]

Cardiff now have us right where they want, their cheap squad looks miles pacier than ours. Hughton has to do something

 

[Hugo Rune]

Huge chorus of boo’s at half-time, probably the loudest I’ve heard aimed at our players for a home game

Those booing will have to take their share of the blame if we lose this. They’ve just made our task tougher FFS. We’re only 1-0 down and we’ve not been too bad.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Stephens and Proper both need to come off, they won’t.

Take off proper and put on biss, even with gross on there’s a massive gap in any creative play.

Has to be 1 off at half time and try something different ffs

Pretty even first half, great goal from Cardiff.

No pace is hurting us at times, especially as the passing is pretty wayward. Perhaps get Jahanbakhsh off who has disappeared and throw on Andone to give Glenn a hand.

It’s not over.

A bit of positivity but it's hard to see a win. Maybe scraping a draw is the best we can hope for. Andone HAS to come on at the beginning of the second half.

There is only so much he can do. I'm not pretending he's faultless, but he's gone away after Bournemouth, looked at the team, made changes. The players, on the other hand, just don't look like they can be arsed. They're grown adults, they shouldn't need Hughton to spoon-feed them encouragement. They know how big this game is, and they're playing like they'd rather be at home playing FIFA. I for one, am not gonna hold that over Chris' head

 

[Weststander]

Bruno for the manager then.

Why not?

If TB allows him to get rid of the substandard players.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Both poor so far, Stephens found it hard to pass to one of ours for the most part.

Finds it hard to stay with a man on the edge of the box as well, actually ran back past him
