Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Sheebo]

Hard to feel good after conceding so late but you're right. We don't have to play many good teams now and just have to concentrate on us. Chris needs a reaction at forest, go for the jugular.

Not feeling good - feeling ok - and strangely positive... Just read that team cost £65m - puts even more perspective on it. Horrible way to lose but think the lads were also very knackered after the shift pressing Reading on Sat & what they gave tonight. Lady Luck shined on them for the first goal too - 99% of the time that mishit shot doesn't result in a goal..!

Flukiest goal I've seen at the Amex in a while, didn't think Newcastle looked like scoring up to that point.

I really rarely get proper hacked off with the football but right now i'm just devastated. Really truly gutted!

yes there's perspective and yes there really are positives but that was soul destroying.

a 1-0 result could have led to a 12 point advantage over 3rd come Saturday night and now look at it! We simply lost our bottle in the 2nd half and couldn't keep hold of the frigging thing!

3 points a must at Nottingham sat

Bad day at the office. Couldn't pass the ball, couldn't hold on to it and as the game went on, it got more and more obvious that they would score. Never seen the defence so poor really.

Forget about it and move on...forest now becomes a big game if hudds beat Newcastle on Saturday!

time to start looking over our shoulders ? , as I've said some people getting way ahead of themselves

Have we suddenly gone from hoping Newcastle get stuffed in the next couple to hoping they absolutely smash the other sides now and we settle for 2nd?

YES

 

[BensGrandad]

Think we will go down 2 -1

This was based on the fact that when we scored Newcastle upped their game and we sat back as if the result was a foregone conclusion without us trying. For most of the game we were 2nd best in every department. The good point could be that we usually bounce back so looking towards 3 points at Forest. irrespective of what happens between Huddersfield and Newcastle.

Why oh why, did CH not bring on Hemed on for murray.

I believe we let them come at us through his defensive approach just like Derby last year, let's hope it doesn't cost us again.

 

[brightn'ove]

1st half, gash - albeit limited gash.
2nd half, he made approximately 6 tackles/interceptions, passed 2 of them to Albion players and 4 went to the opposition.
He dragged Dunk wide and Murphy back. No one wanted to pass to him.

Yeah as I said, improved

 

[Wellesley]

We will go up this year. This team has been immense this season and I really believe this is our year. We could well have gone 2 or 3 three up tonight and all Sky kept going on about was their chance before half time. As Micky Adams said "Keep the faith." (Then he got sacked.)

 

[Questions]

I felt a lack of belief after 35 mins. Maybe I'm doing the Geordies a disssrvice but I thought we didnt really believe we were going to win it. I level this at our forward line btw , certainly not our boys at the back.

 

[Claretnblue]

Burnley fan here u were massively unlucky tonight . Ur well clear of Huddersfield , u will be up come may !

 

[RandyWanger]

Wasn't our best performance. Held on for as long as we could, some dodgy defending along the way. Newcastle were picking up every ball and got the luck of the bounce a lot and a very fluky goal got them right fired up. Massive shame to lose it then. Brush it off and smash forest on the weekend. UTA.

 

[Wellesley]

This team, this manager, this chairman are on the verge of taking us to the top division for the first time since 1983! This is no time for negativity of any kind. We deserve to go up and we ARE going up THIS year.

 

[essbee]

We are going up. Everyone else can f****** off.

 

[Claretnblue]

Do have to play rovers yet? Please smash em ��

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I know this is a rather radical point-of-view, but I thought we did ok tonight. Yes, there were some heart-stopping misplaced passes, but we looked dangerous when going forward and outplayed them at times. They are the best (other) side in the league by a country mile and we matched them at least.

Newcastle fans on train back saying they thought we were better team.

However two of them left early and missed both their goals.

 

[Lush]

If only there hadn't been that foul on Baldock. I really think he would have scored.
