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

[London Irish]

Everyone raving about Baleba but he is not a clever footballer. He's pretty thick as well as being inexperienced. Massive potential but an idiot there. Crowd going wooahh as he does a nice turn on the half way. Not even needed as he could have side footed to a teammate.

What was JPVH doing there. Him and Pervis. Ridiculous. So disappointing.

I really hope Hurzelars changes our mindset. We are sloppy and get ahead of ourselves after a point at Arsenal. Fans and players alike. Was hoping we could 'challenge the establishment' like FH said when he joined. That won't happen until everything is more bedded in.

Lets hope we get back in this after the penalty. My best hope was 1-1 this morning. Obviously hope I'm wrong.

Fab has the same problems RDZ had, Pervis’s hit and miss technique and Baleba’s inexperience. The troubling thing is there is a quarter of a billion spending in between those

 

[Reddleman]

Team wrong. Mitoma off, Adribgra to left, Rutter right then Pedro central

 

[de la zouch]

Timewasting is going to intensify x10. No doubt this ref will do f*** all. 20 secs over every goal kick, 15 secs over every throw.

Conceded a sloppy goal, we can’t grumble about the inevitable result

 

[Coxovi]

Need to card them for time wasting or we are in for a long boring match.

 

[Weststander]

Ref will send off an Albion player.

 

[Gazwag]

Worst performance by the official I think I have ever seen and it's only 25 minutes

 

[Ethelwulf]

We don’t look very good do we

 

[oldboyroy]

Bang goes my 2 nil predication! Think this is going to be our 1st loss

 

[TottonSeagull]

Our defence looks so shaky, can see Forest getting a few today!

 

[KZNSeagull]

And now the Ref books Baleba for nothing.

I think that’s a bit harsh. I don’t know many people coping with moving to a new country, not speaking the language and adjusting at his age.

I think he’ll be excellent eventually but he just needs some time and experience, working on decision making etc. He just isn’t there yet.

 

[Casper18]

Harsh yellow card for Baleba

 

[Swegulls]

He will see red today, Baleba.

 

[BBassic]

Baleba needs to come off. Having a mare.

 

[Eeyore]

Baleba needs to get himself in check here. This match isn't going to get any less physical

 

[Normandy seagull]

Still not sure why we signed Rutter, he’s useless

 

[Normal Rob]

We are repeatedly being horribly exposed at the back. Need to tighten it right up or this could het unpleasant.
Baleba having a shocker.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Someone needs to keep an eye on Baleba before he does something stupid

 

[London Irish]

The problem with Baleba is that he’s 3 parts crowd-pleasing bravura and one part WTF

 

[TottonSeagull]

Baleba having an absolute mare!
