[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Grimsby Town *** Official Match Thread ***

[brightn'ove]

Well, I guess we're not Man City. Too slow from us, yes we're in control but at 1-0 it's way too close. We do need the second to put this to bed. No way we want to be going into the last 15-20 min at 1-0.

Difference is burnley left acres of space for city to play in, Grimsby are playing extremely compact.

Lallana interviewed pitch side saying RDZ not happy with that. Good.

Hopefully could start the next half with a bit more energy, get a second goal and bring on some players that have more to prove.

Yep, I’d be absolutely apoplectic.

I’d be disinterested too, he’s been the obvious out ball from Pervis about 10 times and we’ve just gone backwards or narrow … March decent too and he’s trying, as is Dunk, but the rest need to UP it and put this to bed… massively underwhelming.

Oh I completely agree. Pervis is having a mare. Caicedo not great, loads of under the required level performances

RDZ half time talk is similar to this:

 

[OzMike]

2 more goals to us in the 2nd half to put it to bed please.

That was like watching a woodlouse struggle through a big pile of treacle.

Loving that.

 

[hart's shirt]

Very glad the riot act was read out by RDZ at half-time.

Looking forward to a better performance 2nd half with some clinical finishing.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Time for some South American flair?!

 

[Bodian]

Like nobody else has made any errors!

Yes - fair enough. It's just Webster's always stands out as he ends up putting someone through or similar.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Levi on for Pervis

 

[Grizz]

It's slow because Grimsby have made it slow. They've kept their shape, rarely out of position, double up on Mitoma and March when they get it. And even with all that, we've created two or three more good chances. You watch, as soon as Grimsby come out and open up, as they have to do to get anything out of this, we'll exploit the spaces.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Ooh Deniz, bit of a shocker

 

[GoingUp]

Oft!

 

[oldboyroy]

Oh Undav had to score

 

[WhingForPresident]

Grimsby supporting mate that's there just sent me this from Twitter. I'd be f***ing livid if that went against us:
