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

[BN41Albion]

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

Come on, its shit but ffs

We could have done with Bereton-Diaz , he was available to buy and we missed out as I see a top 6 club will come in for him.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Win Saturday and we’re back on track.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Too many players that were bang on it at the start of the season not at it under RDZ.
Gross
Welbeck
Mac
Trossard
Webster

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Just remember, it will only be a very few people booing after this. A very few, almost insurmountable. Basically nobody.

Probably because there’s hardly anyone left here.

Hopefully the forest fans will drown them out, still getting over last time

 

[twickers]

I think the changes will eventually show through. We looked impotent went Potter started his changes.

 

[perseus]

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.

That was a shade boring: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1...r-League-2022-2023-Brighton-Nottingham-Forest

At least we only need 20 more points, what's that - 5 wins, a few draws and we have 28 games to get them.

 

[Munchkin]

I agree - we’ve regressed massively on the back of losing GP plain and simple... one simply doesn’t just go out a replace a coach/manager of the quality of GP... we’ve got an untried and untested PL manager and it’s showing... I don’t blame Roberto, but his appointment is starting to look a bit ‘rushed’ and possibly a bit ‘wishful’ in expecting him to take the PL by storm. . . I’m trying to remain positive and (yes) City and Chelsea will most likely be defeats... the truth is I got a sinking feeling the day GP walked and now I’m certain - if we stay up we’ll have done very, very well.

I presume you remember the similar dross we turned out under Potter well into his tenure?

 

[raymondo]

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

He's not, you're right, but I don't think his strength is against a packed defence

 

[figgis]

Very similar to our play under Potter .

Which is a good!

Great miss 17 shots. Idiot.

 

[ROBS BROTHER]

the team we put out tonight with the exception of the enforced change due to the retirement of Mwepo was exactly the same as the team that thumped Leicester 5-2 Don't ask me to explain it because I'm lost

Maybe some on there that would prefer playing elsewhere. With performances like that they won’t be going far.

Useless with subs always to late, Welbeck was having a shocker why not give Undav 30 minutes. Moving March to a 10 really?

 

[Normandy seagull]

If Potter hadn’t of gone- we’d have won that game fact

Hard to win if you can't score though

 

[Weststander]

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.

Opinions.

I thought we were too obsessed with wing play, making us predictable second half.

Trossard and Lamptey receiving the ball with a standing start at the centre line. No runners.

There was a beautiful Amex goal in Aug/Sept where Caicedo grabbed the ball (and game) by the scruff of the neck. Simply charging forward down the middle, creating chaos, panicking opponents, creating space.

Great teams mix tactics mid game.

 

[figgis]

We are pathetic. More so in the second half. De Zerbi smiling as he walks on. f*** off. You have better players than dire Forest and we barely created a clear cut chance.

Gross has been stealing a living since RDZ after being so good before.
What has happened to Welbeck? Looks devoid of confidence. Comes short instead of getting in the box all the time.
Trossard playing with ideas above his station.
March is March but weirdly shows more endeavour than above.
Macallister and Caicedo fine.
Poor passing by Dunk.

Early days but cannot see where RDZ gravitas will come from let alone a win. Small time histrionics on the touchline in his gilet. His only answer was to bring on Lamptey against a packed defence. Weird and devoid tactically. Not convinced at all. Felt after Spurs our best chance of a win would be in the emotion of Potters return.

League placing is brilliant but no way we'll finish there. Palace will easily finish above us at this rate for example.

Gutting we've lost Cucu, Bissouma, Maupay, Mwepu and our coaching team but we should still beat those mugs.

Careful giving an honest assessment you may get accused of being Palace.

 

[AmexRuislip]

The realism is that we're only going to be a mid table side, bordering on pushing for a Euro berth.
I'm guessing a lot of fans started gushing because the Albion were drinking Moet with the big boys, whilst sat in 4th place.
Whereas truthfully it was really us drinking Aldi plonk.
We have to get real, RDZ will get this right, as did GP.
But it won't happen overnight.
I grant you its frustrating as **** to watch, but, we got a point

 

[nwgull]

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

You're right. This was similar to games like 0-0 v Norwich, or 1-1 v Palace when their only touch in the box was a penalty. RDZ has had 4 games; this is still Potter's team.
