[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[twickers]

Should have put it to bed first half, fully expected that outcome.
1 home win, so brittle.

It felt inevitable 5 mins after we scored. It's torture watching us this season knowing the script.

I agree with the notion that there is a psychological problem within the team, but isn't the psychological aspect literally supposed to be Potter's key defining attribute?

Yes, apparently. We could do with some "dick heads" in this team. We're a team of nice guys. There's not enough winners and that includes Potter.

 

[Surf's Up]

Sums us up doesn't it a post away from a 2 nil lead and 2 errors cost us the game. No bad luck this time we're just simply not good enough despite playing entertaining football

This. We were second to virtually every ball in the second half. Its not rocket science - it's obvious Leicester would come out stronger in the 2nd half and we just seemed to accept that this was the natural order and gave up. I am ****ing angry at that disgraceful 2nd half.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Of all my years supporting the Albion ... I have never known us to be so unlucky.

It would help if we put ourselves in positions where luck wasn't a factor - but we just don't have the players to score a 2nd goal.

I don't feel too hard done by as Leicester didn't not deserve to win, unlike our previous fixtures. Our performance dropped off in the 2nd half, and they're a really strong side despite their injuries.

and TBH I think Dunk's challenge on Vardy was probably a penalty.

Oh well... on to the next one.

Absolutely how I feel. Such a ****ing strange season.

What does Potter say or not say to the team at half-times ?

Once again a lacklustre second half turns a win into a defeat. We looked like the team that had a mid week fixture not Leicester - jaded and stopped closing down.

Really had enough of this season and this team - groundhog day once again !

 

[Weststander]

Leicester are not a big team by any stretch!! And what about Liverpool and the Spurs results? Very strange post on all levels.

Liverpool missing half the best 11, every decent CB missing, getting beat by almost everyone in recent months.

No shame in losing to Leicester. They are a good side. The keepers mistake will take the headlines, but over the season, the inability to score more than one goal a game is what might take us down. Another blank from the forward line. Puts so much pressure on the rest of the side. I think we will be OK but it's going to be close.

Leave a man on the post if the keeper goes ball hawking?

Deserved to lose. Potter has to go ASAP. Playing alzate at left wing back? Okay.

Players don’t seem to care either, would put that onto the most boring personality manager we have ever had. If my boss was boring at work I’d show no interest either.

Only 37% possession in the game and just 2 shots on target.

And with our front line, that's unlikely to motivate too many Premier League defences to go into extra training.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Probably a good idea. No matter how well they play they seem cursed this year.

No such thing as being cursed

No such thing as bad luck on this scale

I would love to know why the potter in crowd are the in crowd? Give me some reasons you think he should stay? 1 home win all season and 3 points off relegation.

Well firstly, it depends on who the 'Potter Out' crowd actually think we could bring in to replace him. Secondly, as far as I'm concerned, if we have to be in a relegation scrap, I'd rather see us playing the football we play now rather than the defeatist dirge that was served up under CH.

 

[Bry Nylon]

At least we didn’t lose ground to those below us. They are as shit as is thankfully atm.

Fulham haven't played yet. That result has just done Scott Parker's team talk for him.

 

[Sussexscots]

Relying on others being poorer than us. We're getting nowhere fast at the moment. So frustrating.

Season turns on the next two games, I feel.

 

[dstanman]

Sanchez was always going to make a howler at some point, just a shame it was in such a close game

 

[elwheelio]

Potter has fantastic tactics but refusing to drop players out of form (Trossard, Burn, Maupay at times) and not injecting pace into the team (Izzy, Tau) is really draining. His substitutes are very poor IMO but his game management recently has been even poorer. Really not enjoying football at the moment, we play good/alright most games but always find a way to disappoint.

He has fantastic tactics at the start of games sometimes but he's often slow to react to changes from the opposition.

 

[Icy Gull]

Starting to despair, we haven’t had any luck this season. Can’t tell you how gutted I am

 

[Higham Seagull Army]

"""" off potter,

 

[Birdie Boy]

If he thought Trossard was shite then surely he would have taken him off

I know, what is he thinking?

 

[The Fits]

Unfortunately Potter seems to be out thought in the 2nd half on too many occasions.

Isn't it so odd though?
He seems to get us set up pretty well almost every game. Often makes very subtle changes to fit the opposition and you can see we've trained on very specific things during the week.

He's like a comedian with an incredibly tight set who goes to total jelly the first time he is heckled.
