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

[Shooting Star]

Not too worried. Potter was still serving up games like that 1.5 years into his tenure.

Highlights to me how small our squad is. PL allows 5 subs but we really don’t have alternative options to what we’ve got on the pitch since Maupay and Cucu were sold and Mwepu retired. Really hoping Uncle Tony allows De Zerbi to open the war chest in January.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

How can such a dominant team make scoring a goal look so hard?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Everything but a goal. Once they got it to 0-0 at half time the writing was on the wall. Oh for a goalscorer. Perhaps he should try the under 23s as they couldn’t do any worse.

 

[Bridcutt]

I do not understand why there seems to be no investment towards a striker. We have money, do I expect all of the sum from White/Cucurella/Potter/Bissouma to go to a striker? No but at least invest 20/30m on someone

 

[peterward]

It’s like we’re playing against a Hughton team to be fair BUT this was a chance to gather a little confidence prior to two ROCK hard matches :/

It’s all a bit dreary.

The outlook is a bit bleak ... we’ll probably beat one of City or Chelsea and Roberto will be a genius... that’s football and entirely us.

No we'll lose both on this form..be looking down rather than up and the pressure on RDZ will increase.

This was very poor, hoping for best, slow, ponderous, passing across the back which is usesless possession stat, no cutting edge.. Its not working.

 

[nicko31]

Just not taking our chances, confidence draining away, now 2 really tough games. Will we have the fight?

The positive is that deflection didn't go in at the end

 

[macbeth]

that was really disappointing. can't really lay the blame at de zerbi's door, we've created plenty, but the club have persistently failed to sign players who are quality finishers. there's a variety of reasons for this, but this is ultimately what cost us tonight and against brentford

 

[chickens]

Sake. (thats my contribution)

Congratulations, you’re ahead of Welbz for contribution tonight.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Confidence draining away- players losing faith in RDZ. Tactically poor, decision making poor. Trossard and Gross please feck off to Chelsea now.

 

[raymondo]

Terrible performance, really awful. I don't understand why no one drives forward with the ball, we look so predictable

We needed Mitoma...

 

[DanR]

This was very difficult to watch but we need to keep positive.

 

[Tommy11]

It doesn’t matter who the blinking manager is- Bloom does not want to buy a decent striker so it’s going to be the same story over and over again. Why he can’t see this just amazes me. Undav is a joke of a player

 

[BN41Albion]

We've gone to shit, the country's gone to shit, the world's gone to shit...

f*** it

 

[swindonseagull]

Im glad I didnt waste my time, money and effort going down for that....I feel sorry for the people who bought my seats.

 

[Javeaseagull]

On the bright side, had a cracking picture with Amazon.

 

[Justice]

RDZ hasn’t got a clue at this level, cheap option no buy out clause I guess.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Can't wait for Naylor to tell us it's not as simple as just buying a goal scorer for the millionth time when it's clearly what we need to invest in

 

[Reddleman]

Very disappointing. It’s actually insulting that the likes of Potter, RDZ, Naylor et al keep telling us we don’t need a striker. It’s so obvious it’s ridiculous.

And before the usual suspects start asking me who that should be that is why we have a recruitment department and you know what, 10 games into the season and our strikers have scored ZERO league goals I think someone new might be worth a punt.

 

[DJ NOBO]

That one’s on whoever thought it was a good idea to go into the season with one half decent striker.

 

[boik]

Minutes left to play and we were still fuckarsing around, playing passes across the back.

How much would it cost to get Potter back?

You do realise that that was a mirror image of dozens of Potters games?
