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

[Felpham Seagull]

I can see Cardiff beating Palace and if Chelsea beat Man Utd Sunday I think Cardiff might beat them I hope I,m wrong

 

[DavePage]

Why don't we play with the same passion for the full 90?

same reason Cardiff went all in for the last 10 minutes, relegation mentality

 

[portlock seagull]

Where the hell was that second half performance in the first?! Or in any number of games this season. Hopefully that's enough to keep us up.

I can't remember ever wanting a season to end so much before. A lot of changes need to be made over the summer.

This. I’m embarrassed to be a Brighton fan at the moment. Never ever felt this way in nearly 40 years support. At least half the team and all the coaching staff must go. We need a fresh start.

 

[Kosh]

I think we're all unashamedly Palace fans for the day.

However knowing that lot up the road, they'll probably put in a stinker and hand it to Cardiff.

We just need to beat Arsenal, simple really.



I reckon CH will be breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. He needs to reassess his tactics and fast.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

We do it every single game, 100% defense 1st half and then only look to play in the 2nd (often only IF we're behind). We can play with 13 teams in this league if we just actually TRY! For 90 minutes though please at least against the non top 6.

These fans look traumatised rather than delighted!!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I am firmly....and I don't say this lightly(or sober)in the out camp. We need a Jones or a (gulp) wagner type person(but not wagner, maybe jokovic) to give us back our Albion

 

[marlowe]

.....Great point and maybe enough , dare I say we need Palace to do us a favour and thrash Cardiff.

We only need them to draw which is the preferable option.

 

[djentist]

That should probably do it for survival now. Second half was better and in the end a draw was probably fair. But by god have we laboured to the finish line in such dreary and listless fashion, when even two months ago we looked good for 40+ points with some favourable home fixtures, from which we have earned one point. 17th for a second season in the prem on face value is fine, but nothing inspires me with any confidence that any progression will be made next season under this regime, which is a perfectly reasonable expectation

These fans look traumatised rather than delighted!!

It's the same look when people from Norfolk see an aircraft in the sky

 

[Sussex Nomad]

These fans look traumatised rather than delighted!!

I can feel their pain, been there so many times.

 

[peterward]

For the first time this season, CH urged his players forward.

Nah, he thought he was still managing Newcastle and was urging them back to the 18 yard line!

Touchline ban awaiting for that behaviour.

 

[Bridcutt]

Hughton out at the end of the season

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Yep that's us as good as done now, even if we bag a draw somehow in one of next 2, still means Cardiff need to win twice. If they win next week it really will be squeeky bum time.

What's worse, is for 90 mins we're all palace fans.

Go on wilf, fling yourself, con that ref.

No, never. I'd take relegation over that(and a change of management)

 

[willow147]

Did Duffy just say on BT that "Maybe be tried too hard in the first half", is he serious?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Touchline ban awaiting for that behaviour.

You watch Gillette will be asking him if they can sponsor him................

 

[Icy Gull]

No excuse for that first half performance and one shot on target in a must win game is not good enough. Hughton Out or upstairs at the end of the season

 

[Coldeanseagull]

If I've lost it, he's lost the most important part of the club.........the fans

 

[Napier]

Did Duffy just say on BT that "Maybe be tried too hard in the first half", is he serious?

Michael Owen picked up on that and said it looked like we were not trying at all.
