Brighton & Hove Albion vs Preston North End *** Official Match Thread ***

Only one of them will make it, and we will take second place. It is our turn this time.

If we can keep in touch and get another striker /creative no 10 in January maybe.

 

[Stuart Munday]

We only turned up for the second half and even then should have finished them off , we don't seem to do well after the international breaks I really really hate them.

Hope you're right but both have big squads full of quality and both have more than 3 strikers

Time will tell and we have the January window still....

Norwich and Newcastle will piss it too promotion and we'll be in and around the playoffs

Usually i would say far too early to say that, anyone can beat anyone etc etc but those 2 are obviously very strong and we need to at least match their results and beat them when we play them. They will slip up, but then so will we, like today and that is why today is very frustrating, usually i would be unhappy but not too concerned.
The rest is the usual Championship.

I have to say, I admire your optimism!

That's a killer blow again. Newcastle and Norwich top 2. I guess play off lottery for us again this season.

Let's give up with 34 games still to play and 3 points off automatics then.

 

[StonehamPark]

Chris, please don't settle for the draw.

Don't take a striker off at 65-70 minutes.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Two poorly conceded goals today, they scored from their only 2 real opportunities. We should have wrapped the game up with another couple of goals by the time they equalised. Hey ho can put it all right on Tues night.

That was f**king shit. It was shit even when we'd snuck into the lead.

Sadly, of course, it can't be put " all right " on Tuesday night as today was two points lost which can't be recovered. Three points on Tuesday would help today's disappointment !

The first half was comical from us. Much better second half and we should've buried them with the pressure we had. 2 bits of dreadful defending cost us. The international break has killed our momentum

Doesn't it always.

What does Hughton do to them over the break?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Just back - the team have no backbone --- good night

 

[Nixonator]

Small positive - at least the swathes of utter twats who left on 84' didn't experience the goal. They'll be chuffed.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Positives - Murray and Sidwell

Negatives - rest of team starting at half time. Team not knowing how to hold on to the ball. That should have been 4 minutes of passing back and forth across the back line.

Why was Hemed not on the bench?

Should have brought Elvis on as the 10 free kicks for offside would have run the clock down nicely.

Thought Murray was excellent today. He is the 'cleverest' and most canny player we have IMO.

 

[El Turi]

Controlled the game so very frustrating to throw away the 3 points. Especially as Newcastle and Norwich are going to be hard to keep up with (parachute payments really are a joke).

 

[Seasider78]

Defence out of character today normally solid but looked shaky against a team who offered almost nothing in attack. Sure just a blip and we move on
