[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Easy 10]

2 week international break coming up. No need to rest both our CBs tonight. I hope it's worth it come 6pm Saturday.

Clearly a case of protecting them from injury/suspension. If Balogun or Duffy had got crocked or sent off, then we'd be right up shit creek for Saturday.

As fishing posts go that’s pretty poor !!

Must try harder

Agreed. Transparent and only the dimmest of dimwits (or nicest of nice supportive Albion fans) would be taken in or respond. Very pathetic.

Thanks Sheebo.

How's Ali doing?

Didn’t see enough of the ball tbh. Was worth going just to watch Bissouma tbh. We had 4 u23s on at the end I think and they out on Redmond & Austin. Hughes looked desperate for a win tbh. Not too down - did well considering I guess. Locadia good first half but faded.

This.

The prize money is also bollox.

The FA have increased the money for the FA cup. Worth a cup run.

Seriously?
The prize money?
You do know we've NEVER won a major cup right?
We never will with this attitude to the one comp we might have an outside chance in.

 

[spence]

Leicester,Wolves,Palace, West Ham, Bournemouth, Stains all won. Only other Prem team to lose was Huddersfield. Edit and Cardiff !
Strength in depth?

Disappointed that Locadia failed to score again. Have we got a wrongun here?

Told you this months ago and yet you continue to stalk me defending Locadia and asking why Hughton doesn't play him. Unbelievable. Penny dropped eh ?

 

[Sheebo]

Ps - ignore Dwayne - he’s on a wind up clearly. We did well against a much stronger choice of side!

 

[Milano]

You obviously don't understand player conditioning or risking injuries. We have already lost Dunk and White. Do you understand football ?

How did we ever get promoted then? 2 games a week for most of the season. Seemed to cope.
Don't patronise me you prick.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Locadia is dire. Awful signing.

....he's had long enough now to prove himself. He's just not a premier league footballer. Shame but that's life. I suspect alireza is a dud as well. Should steer well clear of the Dutch league....

Only just come online but I really think you should stop being such a miserable **** and piss off to support Liverpool/Chelsea/Man City. If you are not fishing and genuinely think a player that we have tracked for a couple of years can be written off after about 120 minutes of football in an unfamiliar country then your opinion on football is garbage.

Happy with that tonight. Hopefully no injuries, that’s the only thing that matters really. Glad to be out of this cup. Also don’t give a toss about the FA Cup. It’s all about the PL, baby

Think his point is valid even if the way it came across was wrong.

Don’t think it was about ‘resting’ more protecting them as they are our only fit CB’s and an injury or suspension in a relatively unimportant game wasn’t really worth the risk.

They made 10 changes and so did we

How many of there reserves were making there debuts ?

 

[amexer]

How many changes did Fulham make

It's irrelevant. The point is they have a stronger squad and they are one of the faves for the drop.

Fair enough but why risk any of them then? Why risk Gross? It used to be about trying to win something. Sky have won.

It isn't irrelevant. Thought even you would grasp that.

Insults aside.

The PL is so fast that players for the 'lesser' teams have to work incredibly hard to get results against teams full of internationals, and so are at great risk of soft tissue injuries. This has been explained by sports doctors.

CH is giving our first 11 all the rest it can get.

There’s a big difference between picking 3 u23s to make their debut and playing JWP, Romeu, Yoshida, Gabbiadini etc and then brining in Redmond and Austin. We weren’t as bothered as them - Hughes was clearly desperate for a win as they need to kick start their league campaign.

We would have had Izzy, Balogun, Schelotto etc playing if it wasn’t for a mini injury crisis etc. They kicked it through their main prem striker - take it on the chin and be grateful you saw Bissouma play like that as he bossed it.

 

[blockhseagull]

Because if Gross was injured he has players who can replace him (Bissouma/Propper) ... we really are down to the bare bones at experienced CB

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Pretty poor start to the season then. 3 losses out of 4. And only a win coming against comedy united

Give me strength

Wondering if you might be thinking about standing for election....council....parliament....we had another bloke on here....you seem to have the right phenotype.
