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

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Well f me - I obviously went to a different match not the one reading all the negative comments here that make it sounds like we lost 4-0, yes it was frustrating to lose a game we dominated but we weren’t that bad. didn’t think our new players were that bad

Er, yes, you apparently did

(was it good?)

Yeah, you definitely went to a different match if you think we lost

Two average sides, very few chances, amazed to see 4 goals. Must admit, very disappointed. Can't see us getting anywhere near Europe unless Hurzeler works out how to get our wide players in behind.

 

[Doonhamer7]

That was a very bad typo! Meant draw

 

[Justice]

Teams like Ipswich....

I get that although TB has said he wants Europe this season. If we can’t win at home that ain’t gonna happen

 

[chrisg]

So exciting in attack we created one real chance second half.

This. 1st half was dull. Same as Ipswich game.
2nd half improved , but inability to pass or cross perfectly to our own actual player cost them again. And Welbz not digging it over the keeper from 2 yards was always going to haunt us.

We should have closed out the game by scoring our third in those 10 minutes after half-time when Forest looked ready to collapse. However, like so many Amex matches in the past we didn't and got caught and let an inferior team leave with points they didn't deserve. It's Groundhog day whichever manager we have in charge.

 

[Seagull58]

So fab got a rd card for stepping a yard onto the pitch and straight off again….MADNESS by officials

And Arteta spends several minutes on the pitch coaching his players while Raya is down (not) injured without the officials taking any action.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Not one of our summer signings started the game, in fact neither O’reilly, Garuda, weiffer or Ferdi have started a league game. So in reality we are unbeaten without major contributions from 4 of our major summer signings …..

 

[Han Solo]

What a game and what a day of football... the things I'd do for a kebabpizza right now..

O'Riley didn't start either. Did Adringa play? Bring back Houghton.

 

[Zeus]

That's a good point. Post match Welbz said that fans will criticize the back line...but it's our forwards that lost the ball.
Still, that being said, something is not right. Forwards will OFTEN lose the ball to a good defense, so we maybe need to keep another back in midfield to help break up opponent's transition.

It’s been happening since the 2019/20 season under Potter. Thought FH’s more direct approach might be the answer but appears not.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Still confused by Sky picking this one for TV. Even as a season ticket holder I can barely be arsed to get out of bed on a Sunday for it.

Or to put it more succinctly, "I know nothing about football." I hope some neutrals did tune in for today's entertainment.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Went to get the beers in on 40mins, missed both goals ffs

Not yet anyway

 

[PlayMoran]

Positives:

• Held an in form Forest team to just 3 shots outside of the penalty
• Hinshelwood played very well at CM
• Estupiñán looked sharper
• Minteh suited an impact sub role
• Two great goals from a technical POV
• Still unbeaten

Negatives:

• Conceded 2 goals from just 4 shots
• Poor defensive organisation for the 2nd Forest goal
• Adingra was quiet as a starter

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Atmosphere absolutely wank again.

Rutter wants a private word

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Has anyone mentioned Notts Forest’s Murillo looked more shorts than man today?

I can only assume he turned up late and the only pair left in the kit bag was the size XXXXL.

 

[Napper]

Atmosphere absolutely wank again.

Absolutely dreadful

Few moments it got going but those last 20 when the players needed us was up there with some real shit we’ve produced as fans

This season as a fan base in the stadium we are shit house . Worst since we’ve been at the Amex . Spoilt middle class ?
