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

[BadFish]

Different perspectives maybe but that's partly my point. I've really enjoyed the game from seeing initial team selection to where we're at now. With the obvious comedy error at start. Done well since. How about you?

I've been a but frustrated with so much backwards football, i dont see the point of pressing high and then playing backwards.

I shouldn't complain though we are winning and we can score goals.

won't stop me though.

I wonder if Dunk injured himself chesting the ball back to Verbruggan as he was holding his chest/ribcage when he was bent over

I said in an earlier post I’m pretty sure he said he thought he was gonna be sick.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

better luck next time

Super Sub so bet carries over to Webster getting a card

 

[Solid at the back]

We need to finish this game off. Chelsea have been terrible, but still look dangerous in the counter.

Ref has had a shocker.

Quite clear now that Hinsh is our best player. We've really missed him

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Ref's having a good game

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Sanchez beginning to get erratic

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

It'll never catch on.

We’ve also shot on target today, which has led to goals.

But I don’t see that catching on either.

 

[Seagull's Return]

Jack off Gomez on

Now to arrange the words into a sentence…

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Lucky for us we can bring on... Er... Someone else up top?

Fergu… oh wait.

 

[GT49er]

Eric Gill is still available.

Happily still going at 94. Better than Moseley, Digweed, Roberts, Sanchez though? Hmmm......

Actually a very big hmmmm.

 

[Gabbiano]

Baleba off for Ayari, now watch us completely lose control of midfield.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Great performance from Georginio

And fair to say, his performance tonight will not have put Chelsea off Baleba! What a player.

 

[US Seagull]

Baleba off. Not loving that. Rutter too.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Baleba and Georginio off for Joao Pedro and Ayari.

Not sure I would've taken Baleba off

 

[Marty McFly]

Lucky for us we can bring on... Er... Someone else up top?

Webster, obvs.

 

[portlock seagull]

Odd game this. We’re winning. Just not sure how. Chelsea poor, but we’ve not exactly been on fire either.

 

[Justice]

Fergu… oh wait.

Worst decision of the window

 

[nsclurker]

Why have we just taken our two best players off?

 

[Seagull58]

Baleba off, Ayari on. Proves beyond any possible doubt that they had a ruck before the Forest match and can no longer be on the pitch together.

 

[Mike Small]

Really wouldn't be taking Carlos off now. We are so much stronger with him on the pitch. This is arguably a bigger game than next Friday so would rather he stayed on. Maybe he's still not 100% but he's vital.
