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

[Normandy seagull]

Like we did at Fulham

Bit different- that was away and not against the bottom of the table team, in woeful form

 

[maltaseagull]

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

True. But to win, you need to SCORE MORE THAN THE OPPOSING TEAM! We don't score any more.

 

[Justice]

How much did Liverpool pay for Nunez?
How many has he scored?

Is that an argument never to buy a striker? I see it a lot and it makes no sense at all.

 

[Eric the meek]

That drop in form happened often under Potter too

Without checking last year's results, wasn't it around the same time of year?

 

[jessiejames]

Absolutely terrible , De Zerbi isn’t even close to Potter tactically.
We’ve regressed an entire season within a matter of weeks.

Really.

 

[figgis]

Ok, can you buy the player we need?

Will your investment allow it?

Goodness me the rant at Tony Bloom, how much should he spend? And what will you contribute?

I will contribute the fact that we have nearly 60 shots in three games and can't score a goal what don't you understand about that.

 

[Bodian]

True. But to win, you need to SCORE MORE THAN THE OPPOSING TEAM! We don't score any more.

20 0-0 draws will see us home...

 

[upthealbion1970]

Frustrated with the result, but we are making chances. Just got to accept it’s going to take some time for RDZ to get the boys more consistent. Not going to fog out any individuals, we just have to be patient

 

[jessiejames]

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

Who then. We buy strikers they just dont score.

 

[Shooting Star]

People need to remember that if we had a manager that post-Leicester was “good enough for Chelsea”, then of course we weren’t going to get a like for like replacement as those types of managers would be looking at a Chelsea-type vacancy, not a Brighton one.

The way I see it, De Zerbi is a surer bet than Potter was when we hired him (8th place Serie A and Shakthar v Ostersunds and Swansea). I’m actually quite excited by the continuity De Zerbi has managed to get out of the team in terms of how Albion play, as he hasn’t even brought in any of his own players. January could be good.

It's the same as it was under Potter

 

[The Wookiee]

Bit different- that was away and not against the bottom of the table team, in woeful form

Was it ?? We were playing a newly promoted team and in my opinion it was one of the worst performances under Potter - Yes we were away, but under Potter wasn’t our away form on a par with our home form ??

Potter has gone, but he had many a game similar if not worse that us tonight

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Zaha scored of course!

My FPL Captain was a choice between Zaha and Trossard, glad I went with the head rather than heart

Too predictable

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

What we need is 3 strikers who'll score up to 20 goals between them. At the moment we have 3 strikers who'll score up to 0 goals between them.

 

[amexer]

What is point in buying Belgium leading scorer and in 3 games we are desperate for a goal leave it to last 5 mins to bring him on.

 

[figgis]

and...

It's staring you in the face Son. Why give soppy excuses.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Henderson got a 9.3 rating on Sofascore - next highest were Gross and Veltman with 7.4.

He made 7 saves tonight - it was a Team of the Week performance.

Disagree. Neither Henderson or the Brentford keeper made a save that I wouldn't expect them to save. Many of our chances shouldn't have given the keeper a chance.

 

[kentgully]

There is a lot of doughnuts on here tonight who don't understand real football... ie Potter out

 

[jessiejames]

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.
