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

[Cheeky Monkey]

Are you Dwayne in drag?

Unreal isn't it? Nothing but relentless negative posting.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Hinshelwood my MOTM sorry Dwayne!

 

[BevBHA]

Not impressed with the new players, what a waste of Bloom’s money.

£73million on Rutter and Minteh

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Nothing changes.

[Deportivo Seagull]

Totally agree cracks starting to show on the recruitment front. You can lose key people like Sam Jewell and Winstanley and expect to carry on unearthing diamonds. Rutter is not a 40 mil player

Have you ever considered stand up? Butlins maybe?

 

[um bongo molongo]

today confirmed for me that Dunk and JPVH are not a great central defensive pairing, unfortunately

We really need some pace somewhere across the back. I don’t think the Dutch guy we are after is quick either

 

[oldboyroy]

So we drew at home to a side that beat Liverpool away in their last game. Booooo

And unbeaten so far

Seriously? I guess your one of those that were writing off Bissouma and Mac Allister ofter a few games too. Players take time to settle and grow into a team no matter what their price was. I'll be patient again.

Estupinians corners are shit

ALL our corners, and the majority of our crosses are shit.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Calm down everyone. It was an absolute stonewall penalty and there was nothing wrong with the ref. That was a decent performance. Too easily caught on the break albeit by a team that are very good at it, but thats the gamble of pushing forward. We were unlucky not to win for the second week running.

I'm not a fan.

 

[TottonSeagull]

The new players are very disappointing! Rutter, not sure what he does. Minteh, looks like he has just taken up the game - a poor mans LuaLua and Wieffer seems to spend most of his time giving the ball to the oppo! The coach needs to grow up on the line - ridiculous to be sent off today.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Don’t really put any stock in the ‘unbeaten’ thing. Surely better to win one and lose one of these last two matches than draw both?

 

[Seagull58]

Decent performance. Unlucky not to win this.

Forest are a decent enough team though, defended well with a good goal on the break, as per their game plan.

We need to get better at finishing teams off at home.

Still, we remain unbeaten this season and another point on the board. Don't know why some people are getting so pissed off.

I'm not sure about decent performance. We were very poor in the final third and completely open to the counter. They only had 4 goal attempts but still managed 1.27xG against our 0.84. We didn't create good chances despite 70% possession.

Yes, frustrating but not a bad point considering the fact that Forest are also unbeaten. We did have them on the rack for 15 minutes at the start of the second half and needed a third.
Need some pace at the back to assist with the counter attacks.

 

[Mike Small]

Horrible run coming up, needed to beat Ipswich and Forest. Decision making in final third is dire. Need to replace Dunk and Veltman who seem past it now and on the decline. What happened to the fast, direct tempo of Everton away? So slow to get anything going

Whisper it but the ball pretty much bounces of Welbeck in the final third.

We're Brighton. We always make it hard for ourselves. We'll beat one of the bigger teams to make up for the very poor 2 points from 2 easy home games.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

And this is when you realise the value of Billy Gilmour, and his ability to control the game and keep possession.

Billy wasn't averse to a hospital pass on occasion...

 

[Yoda]

Did Fergie even touch the ball after he came on?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Frustrating. On many fronts.

Not least of which is Forest only having two shots all game and scoring with both of them.

And Pascal.
