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

[maltaseagull]

Who the f*** is Chas? Have you invented a new player or something?

Chas and Dave?

 

[Normandy seagull]

Lamptey’s not the same player as before his injury- can’t speed past his man, his best attribute.

 

[The Fits]

What is this passing through the middle stuff when they have eleven men behind the ball? Who decides that's sensible? And make some proper changes.

 

[hart's shirt]

Not exactly 5 shots of espresso tonight.

More like a stiff drink needed.

 

[peterward]

Awful second half of football.

No intensity second half. Like an exhibition game. Poncing about. Need to move ball much quicker.

 

[figgis]

It really is time for bloom to reinvest in a striker or face the consequences

I think that's been the answer for 4 or 5 years

 

[razer]

Very frustrating. Again.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

What’s Happened to the team that beat Leicester 5-2

Quite a lot of them have left

Gutting isn't it? He was decent on the ball but he's so much slower now. Poor kid. Surprised he's playing for Ghana, he looks way off to me.

 

[-gully-]

Lamptey doesn’t look as quick as he was

 

[twickers]

How have we started playing like Brighton again? Did Potter press the 'play like Brighton' switch on his way out?

 

[The Wookiee]

Too much emphasis on playing out from the back, beating the press - yes we are good at that - but need to work on what we do with it in the final third - totally clueless

 

[Luke93]

Very similar to our play under Potter .

Which is a good!

 

[Marxo]

Let's all pretend we scored a goal.

 

[jabba]

Really hope we don't have to wait until Boxing Day again for a win.

 

[brightn'ove]

Very frustrating, but I seem to remember this being exactly the same as all of our other games v bottom 6 sides under Potter… it’s never been our strong suit.

 

[jcdenton08]

Changes came far too late tonight. We are still desperate for a striker. Welbeck needs dropping, but we have nobody to replace him with.

I’d like us to change shape now, it is clear that Potterball MK2 isn’t going to work for us with the weaker squad De Zerbi has inherited.

Very disappointed with that second half tonight, but in truth even when we were dominating in the first half I had this nagging doubt about our ability to actually score.

 

[Normandy seagull]

I’d love to know what they’ve been training so hard on- loads of club admin on twitter about it- made feck all difference!

 

[The Fits]

How have we started playing like Brighton again? Did Potter press the 'play like Brighton' switch on his way out?

The players know. Surely? They know the changes Potter made. It must be very frustrating for them.

 

[BBassic]

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

Yeah but Potter's beard was better.
