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

[rogersix]

The biggest cock on the board turns up

!!!!!

Explain why people are bedwetters when we have not won a home league game yet and sit 92nd out of 92 for home record so far this season

stealth!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Potters post match interview. "It was not to be". Inspirational.

He is like a wet weekend

 

[GT49er]

rubbish. how can we only be one point behind. that means we were one point ahead before this game as that match was a win on the tracker.

How did you get on with your GCSE maths?

 

[Sheebo]

Do you know what it is, it's the predictability of the performance. We are almost like a very poor Manchester City.

A coach should recognise this and then work with what he has got. Our coach isn't doing that.

Yes, Trossard has let us down too many times and being hard, he should be dropped and not playing.

We need these points against a bottom side and yet Lallana can't get on; Tau stays benched when we need a goal and Propper is seen as the answer. This is not good coaching and not good judgement.

The commentators will just go through the same lines - played well, can't score. As a coach, if you keep seeing your system do this, you change it. GP seems slow in working out what to do.

Onwards and upwards (I hope)

I had got well in this position maybe 7 games ago - but then performances dropped and I was wayyyy more worried?! I’m just glad we’re back to playing well even tho the same issue of taking chances is still there - as I think it’s enough to stay up. We’ve not progressed as much as I thought / liked - but I’m keeping calm about it and think we will eventually. But let’s not let draws blind performances - in terms of a football match we were far superior tonight!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Yes, 3 wins in 20 this season and 4 wins in 23 in the second half of last season. And one of those was a dead rubber.

Fûck that’s bad! 7 in 43. I can’t get my head around that.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

This is not a good result - Brighton should have won the game comfortably - and ended up with more of a same - drawing when they should have won.

You cannot keep wasting chances like that and expect that everything will be okay.

The gap might be five points but Brighton play Spurs, Liverpool - while Fulham have WBA and Leicester (without Vardy). The Spurs game is now a 'must not lose' game.

Potter may not of been responsible for the players not scoring, but he was responsible for not using those on the bench who may of scored

How can you assert that those on the bench were more likely to score than those on the pitch. Football is unpredictable, you can't say that bring subs on will make things better, we've all seen the reverse on numerous occasions.

 

[Hamilton]

Its the definition of madness. Doing the same thing time and again and expecting a different result. I like Potter as a person, but I've yet to see any evidence of the lessons he tells us he's learning. 12 wins in 58 PL games tells the story.

Yes. I don't see lessons learned at all.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Fûck that’s bad! 7 in 43. I can’t get my head around that.

But mate we play lovely football and its not the fault off the coach who is paid loads to coach them how to put the ball in the net

We should be so happy we haven't won at home all season as our football is easy on the eye

 

[Albion Dan]

Fûck that’s bad! 7 in 43. I can’t get my head around that.

No it’s not. It’s fantastic. Haven’t you seen the possession stats?

 

[Motogull]

Next two games - Spurs and Liverpool

Piece of piss.

 

[mashman156]

Right now, which teams do you think we will beat in this division? Be honest.

I think we will beat...

Newcastle
Leeds
Burnley
West Brom

And sneak a couple more unexpectedly.

We may not, and if our strikers don't start firing we won't. But I dont put that blame on Potter and I like watching us play

Obviously some more wins would be useful and make the game less frustrating

 

[rogersix]

We still have the worst home record out of 92 clubs in the league.

Even the inept useless Potter can’t make us any worse

how's are away form?

Don't forget Fulham keeper was Man of the Match and played a blinder.

 

[kjgood]

He still has 5 years left on his contract , we can’t afford to pay him off

If I continuously failed at work I'd get called in warned, then called in again and be put on an improvement plan if the poor performance continued and then finally let go. I have a contract of employment but my employers as good as they are wouldn't put up with continuous poor performances. Why should we?

 

[Albion Dan]

How can you assert that those on the bench were more likely to score than those on the pitch. Football is unpredictable, you can't say that bring subs on will make things better, we've all seen the reverse on numerous occasions.

There are no guarantees other than they couldn’t be any worse at scoring than Trossard.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Here's a thing that gets me. Potter says he is happy with the players he has, which, we assume, includes Tau and Zeqiri. But he isn't happy enough to put them on in a game where we desperately need a goal. Connolly, maybe, wasn't fit. But why was he on the bench ahead of Khadra in that case?

 

[Dick Head]

At least we're not Manchester United.

We were more superior. Almost boringly superior. It's what makes it so frustrating

I don't think anyone is happy that we haven't won at home. There's an awful lot of misrepresentation going on by certain people.
