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

[Bodian]

On the plus side - Sheffield didn't annoy me like Fulham, and to a degree Everton. No head injuries or messing around. Just not all that good.

I find it interesting that SUFC was wearing yellow & red & we got both kinds of cards today. Coincidence, maybe, maybe not.

Woeful 2nd half performance. 2 points dropped.

Ref was shocking, but so were we. Lost our heads, shape and ability to pass the ball. Our goal was a moment of greatness, all downhill from there.

 

[Mancgull]

How frustrating! Throwing away opportunities.
We missed Dunk more than anyone in that second half due to his leadership.
Some mitigating factors such as tiredness from Thursday and injuries, but we should still be beating teams like Sheffield United.
Their first away point of the season.

The blessing for me is he won’t get picked for 3 games.

Clearly you don't like him.

Donkey of a challenge (it wasn't) a blessing he won't play for 3 games (it's not).

 

[Originunknown]

Sure the game changed massively once he got sent off but equally we hadn’t done enough to be out of sight, one goal is never enough for us

Yes should have had 2 first half but completely changed the game as you say, course it did. Absent minded lazy and tired challenge, pathetic stuff which put us right under it

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Disappointing.

Architects of our own downfall there. What on earth Dahoud was thinking is beyond me. He's got some making up to do.

Well, that went tits-up. We looked so good for the first 30 mins or so, but our inability to kill a game off is our undoing...again. Along with most others, it was inevitable that we need that second goal to steady things and too many chances to do that went begging.
I'm almost glad we held on to a point, at the end, but FFS....giving Sheffield their first away point is just so 'us'.

Ffs

Ref was shocking

? - didn't think he did much wrong?

 

[brighton_tom]

Not ideal. But some people love to stick the boot in. We are playing twice a week, loads of injuries, and down a man for 30 mins.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

My god, some of our fans are entitled crybabies.

I look forward to your post explaining why that’s a good result and why we should be satisfied.

 

[dwayne]

Am I allowed to say "why do we play crap against teams at the bottom" now? Or will I get my head bitten off again...just checking first before I say it...

Meg. The only games we've played well this season are Luton , wolves , man u and Newcastle I think. So not really a fact.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Did we not learn from AEK Athens? We showed no respect to our opponents, and Sheffield United capitalised on it.

Big thumbs up. Never think of your opponent as bottom of the table when all sides were once top of the table at some time.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Oh well the Ladies won

Does anyone actually care

 

[Krafty]

Couldn't beat bottom of the league.

Put that Europe tracker in the bin

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

That’s all on Dahoud. They would never have scored 11v11.

 

[Napper]

Even with11 that was going badly downhill

Dahoud brain fart !!

 

[fruitnveg]

That was total shit. The blades are awful., atrocious and we gave them a point in a weak performnce totally lacking (ironically) any steel. Fuming after having to endure that second half horror show and their fu*king cringey songs about not being bottom anymore. Should have buried them deeper than wednesday.

 

[miffy6]

Dahoud just handed me £50.

Until the red card, imho Pedro and Mitoma were tearing them inside out. At the very least they were pegged back at our end.

Like printing money when we went down to 10, it was so obvious.
