[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

[Wokeworrier]

Forest are a mess of a team, certs for relegation. If we can't beat this lot then I have no idea where our next win will arrive No excuses .. home win.

RDZ was quite critical of our finishing / final passes last Friday, I’d expect some significant changes in the starting eleven tonight to freshen things up.

Although having watched the Albion for a number of decades, I fear I already know how this will go. Saying that I’ve sold my tickets tonight so there’s an enhanced chance of a win simply as I won’t be there in person to witness it

Tonight is apparently our 200th Premier League game, 100th Premier League game at the Amex, and could be our 100th top flight win...

I've an idea it might be Wolves or Villa which are only a few weeks time. And given that we've beaten United (twice), Spurs (twice), Arsenal (twice), City, and L:iverpool in the last 2 years and scored 3 goals at Anfield - two weeks ago - with much of the same players - is it that much of a shock if we get something out of City or Chelsea ?

Quick reminder it's 7:30 KO.
Almost a sell out with a few individual seats plus 3K from up north joining us. Let's party.

 

[sydney]

ffs were loose....almost guaranteed , biggest set up since gone with the wind.

Still over 550 tickets on sale? No sell out for us tonight. Here’s hoping for a comfortable home win (bugger, we never do comfortable).

I uncategorically want De Zerbi to be a success but at home, on a midweek game [we haven't won one in 8 attempts] against a team bottom of the league so am already chalking this one up to 'experience' and expecting nothing.

Every ticket is sold for the match. Hence "Sell out". Which is pretty good for a midweek game v Forest. (some season ticket holders though , can't make it and are hoping other people will buy their ticket off them)

We should win this game, but nothing is for certain and were we to not get result tonight then will will we find that the pressure will start to mount upon the players, someone said tome yesterday it’s a must win game, is it?

I hope you are correct but, In the last couple of years, we've also had long runs without winning. We eventually turned this round under the previous manager but no guarantee the new guy can do the same. Forest are easily the poorest team in the league from the games I have seen, a team of strangers who can't press or defend properly, low on confidence. No better chance to secure that first morale boosting win.

Yeah I get the ”sell-out” bit, but the point I was trying to make is that there will still be a lot of empty seats around tonight (550+) which is a shame.

Blimey but we're all a bit downbeat about this one, aren't we?
If it's any consolation, so are this lot...

Adam Lallana to the rescue

 

[Klaas]

75% of the posts on this thread are along the lines of, bottom of the league at home, were loose.

Add me to the pile.

 

[Monkey Man]

On paper we should win but if it turns out to be one of those games where we dominate possession, over-elaborate around the Forest penalty area, miss some nailed-on chances and concede at least one goal from an isolated counter-attack or cheaply conceded set piece, I don't imagine many of us would respond with "well, nobody could have seen that coming".

Five seasons in the Premier League have not altered by fundamental fatalism as a Brighton fan ...

They seem to think we're winless in 4, and a suggestion that GP was sacked, which is why we're "plummeting down the table".

Still, good to see they are just as pessimistic about this game!

I'm sure the pre match light show between 720 and 726 will fire us up to a great win
