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

[Steve in Japan]

Dunkie off, Webster coming on

 

[The Rivet]

Cucu makes me think of a sausage dog crossed with a poodle!
!

 

[RandyWanger]

Seems okay for now….

And off

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Honestly think we should make Minteh a full back rather than a winger.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Dunkie off, Webster coming on

Not yet, Dunkie back on. Seems a matter of time tho

Is this Dunk’s last season?

The decline in his performance and fitness over the past 18 months has been quite marked.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

He doesn't need to leave, he just needs a break to sort his head out.

He’s es a very good young player going through a rough patch, it happens.

He reminds me of Meslier at Leeds. I think there’s an excellent keeper in there, but he needs to be taken out of the firing line at the moment. I know Rushworth couldn’t play tonight, but I’d be tempted to start him on Friday in the league.

Doesn’t help that our defence is dreadful, and often get very little protection from the midfield. But he’s starting to get Steeleitis and isn’t even making basic saves at times.

 

[Si Gull]

Famous last words, but Lamptey playing well so far.

 

[BadFish]

are my expectations too high or are we both dull and quite ineffective.

Well he seems to do more and more covering for Veltman these days, that's for sure.

 

[The Wookiee]

WTF is Sidwell talking about, saying Cuckoo is getting forward for Chelski, but was more of a fullback for us? He was always bombing forward for us.

Isn’t it Adam Virgo not Sidwell co commentator on ITV4 ?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Great work from Georginio Proper work that.

 

[RandyWanger]

Minte needed to put the burners on there

agreed.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Yep. He is ducking average at best but I’d say he’s poor. Makes Sanchez look good. People are blinded because we’ve had 2 of the worst PL keepers in quick succession. There are many better out there and we need to get one!

He looks the part though, As long as he doesn’t do anything too calamitous in a Dutch shirt we could end up the winners when he moves.

Whoever plays RW always seems to spend so much time covering Veltman. It’s strange how far back they’ve all played this season.

 

[el_ciddy]

It's a cold night.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

How did no one read that…?

 

[Steve in Japan]

For a big lad, Van Hecke ain't convincing in the air is he?

 

[Si Gull]

Only 3 minutes?
