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

[Nobby Cybergoat]

First time I’ve been able to get to the first match of the season in years. What a joyous performance, and what a weak pen awarded against us.

My daughter and son with me for the first time. My daughter is a convert, an amazing day. UTA

Just imagine if we'd had our shooting boots on!

A warm welcome to the Albion for your kids and well done for the indoctrination effort

Thought Luton did well to live with us but in the end they ran out of puff. We'd pulled them from pillar to post and or too it's toll. They won't be the last this season.

I’d keep quiet about that. If he sold it on StubHub, he’s touting.

Keep quiet about what ?

All my son did was put it on the exchange to sell as he couldn't go

You don't go via StubHub to use the exchange The exchange is the official route ... anything else isn't!

Good result.

Couldn’t watch the game today - who played in midfield and right back between Gross and Milner?

They job shared!

Mine sold on the exchange as I'm away for business, managed to catch the game, it's early morning here. I thought Luton played well to begin with, they had a plan, it didn't involve the ball much but when they had it, they weren't afraid to come forward. Quality and fitness shone through in the end, shame about the week penalty decision but a very good first game. Top of the league. Up the Albion

If only the Luton defence was as good as the workers keeping everyone out at Brighton station then they’d have won.

Nice start to the season, and thought Joao Pedro and Milner had particularly good games, but on the whole, apart from a bit of initial rustiness we showed our class.

Interesting to see the new internal signage with the changed name of the Amex - over the tunnel, on the newish TV studio bit, and above the East Stand were new signage for American Express Stadium. The one above the East was particularly nice. I've got a couple of poor quality phone pics if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Yes please.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Although we missed several decent chances it takes a few games before things get up to speed. When you also consider several new recruits I reckon 4-1 is a more than decent start against the new boys

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We are game of the day at 20.30 with the full 90 on Sky Sports PL

Bit mean. Happy to take 6 points off them but whatever they done to upset you? BTW I was born there but luckily my parents moved to Brighton when I was 1

Did you go with them

 

[dolphins]

Yes please.

Sorry this one is SUCH poor quality!

Are we ‘Game of the Day’ on sky? Can’t see why not…

Roberto De Zerbi

"I think we played well. In the first half we could move the ball faster. The first half was important to prepare the second half. We had a lot of chances to score in both halves. We have to improve to score more goals, especially for the attackers. They threatened from set pieces but for the rest I think we played well in defensive phase. If you ask me if it was one of the best games in my time I say no. We have lost three important players and we need to reach the same level. It is normal first game is difficult."

"Joao Pedro can play striker, can play winger, midfielder. He needs to improve his mentality to score goals. If he can score three goals in a game he needs to take them."

"We are building a stronger squad. We will play 60 games this season and we have to be ready to play every three days. It will not be a clear first XI. The most important thing is that all players feel inside of our idea and target."

On Moises Caicedo:

"He wants to leave. If Moises wants to leave then it is not on my focus. My focus is on my players and my work. What I can improve. If we win the next game, we will start very strong."

Via the club website though? StubHub is an external ticket seller.

If you’re saying he listed it through the club, but the Luton fan bought it from StubHub, then I suppose someone purchased it, then touted it.

Apparently so - looks to be 8:30pm start time on SkySportsPL.

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

We look so much more fluid when Billy G is on the pitch.

Which if you could read is what my son did. He listed the ticket on the ticket exchange however the Luton fan purchased via stubhub or so he claimed

Exactly my assumption
