To be fair, this is the type of game we can learn a lot from.

Very rarely do we play teams who park the bus against us... but next season, particularly if we are doing well, we will come across it more often... and it will be down to us to find the creativity to break them down.

Let's see how Potter and his players react to this frustrating opposition in the 2nd half.

They need to pass it about much more quickly, especially considering there's very little pace except for Lamptey. Not sure why Potter leaves Mac Allister on the bench, he's seems the player best suited for potterball.

Also shows as much as ever that we need a big centre forward, having Maupay alongside Trossard or Connolly doesn't really work.

Neat and tidy but devoid of any invention whatsoever

 

[Weststander]

NU will win this 1-0.

Both teams are shite, but they have more goal threats in their eleven - Gayle, Ritchie. Maximin, Shelvey and Almiron.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Can't imagine there's that many neutrals still watching this

 

[AlbionBro]

Half the job done.

 

[WATFORD zero]

So, first half,

who has been so brilliant and will never stay with a team like Brighton

and who is so shit, you'll drive him there yourself ?

Don't forget the rules, no fence sitting

To be fair, i'll let you know in 45 mins

Absolutely this, so so poor. Basically three players who all do the same thing on Gross Mooy and Trossard. No one will commit a man and take it past him.

I often feel Trossard has the quick feet to do it, but seems to never have the desire or momentum to try...

Snoozefest. Literally so boring. None of the players look interested or bothered at all. I know we’re safe and this is a mid table clash but this must be so mind numbing for any other teams fans watching this game.

 

[portslade seagull]

Well that was pretty dismal from both sides

 

[Gabbafella]

The girthy sea pickle I did at work earlier was less painful than this.

 

[Reddleman]

Hopeless,

No width, no urgency, no pace, no bravery.

You can’t play 4222 with one full back who simply will
Not play the ball forward. Dunk and Webster have no options on the ball.

I’m raging.

 

[Gabbiano]

This feels a lot like the away game. Dominate possession, no cutting edge.

Time to give up this shit conga line corner routine, we never win the ball because all the players are too close to each other and easy to defend against.

 

[Saunders]

This is mainly down to Newcastle. Why are they parking the bus? What have they got to lose?

A few million from Mike Ashleys christmas fund.

 

[T soprano]

A wob a bob bob

 

[TheWhiteRoseLUFC]

I'd rather spend another 16 years in the Championship than have to watch that every week.

 

[portlock seagull]

Gross has been anonymous, apart from wilfully refusing to beat the first man at corners - awful performance so far

Ha ha, you can’t pick him out especially. They’ve all been dreadful with exception of Ryan who’s had nothing to do. Maupay and Mooy suddenly can’t trap. Burn looks like the lanky science kid who got picked last at school
because of his two left feet etc etc. Nobody is winning awards out there tonight.

those other fans should get a life

 

[Icy Gull]

Overall OK but why are such an absolute joke from corners. Been pathetic for a long time now.

I don’t remember a single corner that ended up as even an attempt on goal since we came back

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

MacAlister on for Mooy in the middle for me
