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

[A1X]

Feels a much more important game than it looked like feeling a few weeks ago, badly need a result here IMHO just for the confidence and the home atmosphere

 

[Brian Fantana]

RDZ REALLY needs a win, and especially a home win, to get properly settled in. He's definitely benefitted from the points cushion left by GP, but that's not going to last forever as a safety blanket.

What are the chances of it being our 200th PL game and the 100th at the Amex? Must be a million to one. Put the players wages up and increase the ticket prices in honour of this fact.

Bottom of the league.
Haven't won since August.

We all know what's going to happen.

Forest keeper plays a blinder.

Were loose.

Must score first. Or score at all would be nice.

 

[RandyWanger]

Nice early goal to get the Amex bouncing and were wine.

Er... home and away? It was only going to be about 50/50.

 

[Mackenzie]

Any win would be a big boost for all of us, not least RDZ.

The list of players purchased by forest is worthy of a huge shopping trip,trouble is they went to Lidl where you do get some absolute bargains but in the main it's all tatt,I suppose Cooper will hit on the right combination sooner or later for them to start picking up a few points but not tonight please.

Trossard to score first and last but not 1 nil

Looking forward to going, intrigued as too how we are going to approach this game, all out attack would be refreshing, Forest will be no push overs though and we have to be mindful they will probably put 10 behind the ball, and look to catch us on the break.
My main concern is we always under perform against teams that we really should be beating, but we all know what the Albion are like.....

Please not one of those nights tonight, I have had a terrible past two weeks, and could do with a brief rest bite and a smile.

 

[dstanman]

Don't care how many we win by, just want the 3 points tonight

 

[BNthree]

Bet365 seem pretty sure Undav and Welbeck will score tonight.

Condidering Friday was reminiscent of 18 months ago - all prettiness and no end result; I'd be fancying nicking it 0-1 if I were Forest. Go back early this season I'd fancy us to win by 3 or 4. Nervous now.

 

[wunt be druv]

I hate these games, I have been supporting the Albion for long enough to know we never do things the easy way! We are going to lose of course, 99% possession, 40 goal attempts only for Forest to have 1 chance 1% of the ball and score...it's the Albion way...then we go up to Citeh on Saturday and come away with 3 points..Hope for the best but expect the worst.

 

[scooter1]

I do wonder if they'll set up to take a point, or even nick one away from home.
Stick 10 behind the ball and stifle, then counter attack. And then back to 10 behind the ball.
If we can't get through them, move to a back 4 and stick Dunk up front. Plenty of crosses, eventually you'd hope that one(or more) go in

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We all know how this one goes, would feel more confident about us getting a result at City.

Thing is , Albion don't win many games. I think we've only won 4 times in the last 5 seasons at home to subsequently relegated teams. Watford, Norwich, Huddersfield, Swansea being the miserable roll call.
