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

[maltaseagull]

In no way are we too good to go down. We try hard to but even the biggest blue and white specs can see we aren't good enough.

Against top 6 teams maybe. We are competing with bottom 9 which is a totally different situation.

 

[the right footed denilson]

We're in big, big trouble. Can't score and have totally forgotten how to defend. We've looked better in parts today but if you can't score and you don't defend you're ****ed.

On another day we would have won this fixture...

There are not many games you can win after going 2 down in 6 mins. For the chances and penalties we may have had they had a few too.

 

[Mike Small]

That was another pathetic goal ��. Wish Hemed or Scheletto had that composure.

 

[Si Gull]

There's going to be so much pressure on Locadia.

 

[SeagullDubai]

They've buried their chances we haven't.

The good news is that none of the goals came from set pieces

we could be 3-2 up or 8-0 down. One of those games. At least we attacked, just need someone on the end of it I'd rather lose 3 or 4 nil and push for a win the lads played alright today but it wasnt fruitful. Not stressing TBH. New formation, bit of risk, areas to work on but hey. Scheloto for bruno now thank you very much, he
s playing like a taller Ashley Cole as the opposite wing back. Our central defence needs to get their act back together

Not humiliating... The team gave it a go.. Went down fighting... Performances like this convince me we are too good to go down.

I agree. Chelsea have some classy skilful players. They are not champions for no reason. This was always going to be a tough test for us. It was how we responded that mattered, and despite the scoreline, I think we have played well enough to deserve more. We had some tough decisions go against us, but playing like we have today, we would have beaten some of the lesser teams. So you have to take heart from our performance!

Good job Locadia signed yesterday. To move from PSV to relegation dogfight. Well who would?

There's going to be so much pressure on Locadia.

Not to get in the team though.

Ref is an embarrassment, EPL can’t argue to be the best league with refereeing like this. And no support from the Lino. Takes us out of the match

Drop Duffy.

Since the Murray and Kayal subs we have looked poor, there was no gain, was it just wishful thinking on Hughtons part

 

[miffy6]

Reminiscent of Boro last season, can't score for toffee.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Look at all the deflections during the game. Look how many DON'T fall to us. Watch games against the supposed top six. Watch the deflections, that's what makes you a top side....luck.
Our players haven't gone from good to shit overnight. They've just come up against that stupid bitch lady luck

 

[Brok]

I really, really hope Palace get stuffed today.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Ball of the baggeries. Disheartening to an eventually battling performance hand us a battering. Hope we get ourselves in order and nab a couple of wins in the coming weeks, knowing what we can do.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Little kid with a sign asking for Hazards shirt in the Albion end. Father should do one

 

[BevBHA]

We are the new Middlesbrough, starting to look enivitable now unless things change. Ultimately, if you can't score you don't win. (Also doesn't help if you can't defend either)

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Embarrassing, humiliating and depressing, off to bed.

Nothing changed, shit, shit, shit.
