[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bridcutt]

HT 1-0.

Happy with that so far, hope we can get a second and also hope we don't get leggy as the game goes on which could happen

 

[perth seagull]

A comfortable first half, but need a second goal to secure the result.

 

[maltaseagull]

This is a worry in that we are only 1.0 up after dominating them.
Far too many chances missed.

 

[Si Gull]

not strong enough from Facu there. takes the yellow

Frustrating. He probably didn't need to make the foul as we had cover.

 

[Mustafa II]

Great start to the game. We were exceptional for the first 15-20 minutes.

Near the end of the half, we really took our foot off the pedal and became complacent, making silly mistakes, which would have gifted a goal to a better side.

Sheffield United are not very good. But they still have the potential to sting us. We need to kill this off early in the 2nd half - don't want to go into the final minutes only a goal better.

As a side note, for those watching streams, Glenn Murray has to be the most irritating co-commentator - just shut the f*** up for a minute, you don't need to give your opinion on EVERYTHING.

 

[The Fits]

Tough isn't it? Superb first 30, wonderful goal, but they've worn us down by their medicrocity, crowd gone a bit flat and now they're more in the game. Need to come out all guns blazing because we should win this very comfortably if we don't let off. They're awful.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Hmm. Look a bit like we are sleepwalking into conceding from a set piece atm.

 

[fruitnveg]

Facu has been decent without setting the world alight. Theres a player in there. He can look a bit desperate at times

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Hmmm, pleased to be winning but quite a frustrating half and the sort of half we’ve seen a lot at home over the past two/three seasons. Need to make some early changes to provide some impetus and avoid another Fulham.

Would like to see Buonanotte, Lallana and Gilmour come off ideally now or certainly soon for Mitoma, Pedro and Baleba.

 

[pb21]

Think de Zerbi will energise them at half time...

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

Just like the Fulham game, the way this half ended highlights the importance of the second goal for us. One mistake, set piece, or whatever and we could be back to square one. Scrappy last 15 minutes. Perhaps some changes will help us get control back.

 

[macbeth]

watching a stream where glenn murray is commentating, he mentioned that it did feel like it was starting to drift and become a bit scrappy, which suits sheffield u.

opening few minutes was brilliant but we need to get that free-flowing energy back in the second half or else we could come out of the game feeling hard done by

Leave our Glenn alone: club legend an all.

Yeah unfortunately Glenn is very poor and speaks a lot of nonsense. Doesn't have the voice for commentating too

 

[nsclurker]

It's a good job United are awful, as we barely bothered for last 20-25. Definitely need 1-2 more, to make up for our inevitable cock-up at the back.

North Stand have been good, first half, but a really flat atmosphere on and off the pitch generally.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

A few changes at half time please.

Pedro baleba and veltman for facu lallana and webby

Might get aa bit of moder and bbb if the game's safe with 15 to go

 

[Krafty]

Let's try to get a goal in the second half to turn this game into an Ajax rather than a Fulham.

 

[Weststander]

A fantastic welcome back for Moder.

Sloppy in that last 20 minutes, too many ACM cooks getting in each other’s way around the centre circle. Pedro for Lallana would be my first change.

Adingra’s unplayable.

Glenn Murray can do no wrong!!

Personally thought they'd missed the refs whistle at the end of the remembrance silence
