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

[Deleted member 2719]

The stats say nothing in it.
VAR wins the game.

Come on guys - we may have lost but we are seeing some of the best football we've ever seen from an Albion team...

... so I'm told.

Poor game today. Never finish teams off with our chances

 

[Marxo]

That was very disheartening to say the least.

White is a quality player so he will always do a job there but we can’t play him there anymore. He’s a defender, that’s it.

Totally ruins the balance of our side and means Gross pushes further forward where he is really ineffectual and slows our play down. Particularly annoying when Gross has been so good starting deeper.

This is one of the big issues for me.
White is very talented so can blag it at CM but if you compare him to Biss, Alzate or even Gross you see his limitations. He needs to play, so he should be playing at CB. IMHO he should be playing instead of Webster. I don't dislike Webster, on his day he is great, but he makes a HUGE amount of silly mistakes.
White, Veltman and Dunk should be at the back.
Gross, Alzate or Molumby should play alongside Biss. Nobody, surely, can argue with that.

That, plus our set pieces, plus game management, are the pressing issues at the moment. Potter, i truly believe, is making things harder for himself than they should be. Which is such a shame because we play lovely football at times, and he is clearly a great coach.

We are also much worse against weaker teams, which is the sign of a team in trouble.

I'm starting to doubt potters man management and leadership skills.

He hasn't got any

How many pens against us that had been a joke this year? I make that 3, and all in games that it made a difference to the result.

The ref put his spray down a good yard outside the box. What a load of arse.

 

[Solid at the back]

We need to have a serious look at what's going on at home. Some serious questions have to be asked of Potter after this shit show & Burnley & West Brom. These results are a disgrace. Why doesn't he motivate the players to get anything at home? Our form is only going to get worse now that fans are allowed in.

Dreadful to watch, how many fouls does March want to give away this season? Fuming!

Lamptey has been sussed. A busted flush in the second half.

Totally outplayed and outwitted

Do behave re Lamptey. He had a quiet game, as did most of the team. Disappointing but the reaction of some on here is embarrassing. Some people shouldn't be up this late on a school night

 

[StonehamPark]

Load of crap. Another waste of time watching.

 

[pasty]

Can’t complain (other than the pen)

We deserved nothing from the game.

This. Lets not let the farcical penalty award cover over how poor we were second half. Think we probably have lost that without VAR intervention.

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

Something's got to change cos that was really poor.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Ffs get Alzate back in the team
Just like AJ last season...banished to the naughty step for being good

 

[Napier]

Lamptey has been sussed. A busted flush in the second half.

Totally outplayed and outwitted

Not his best game, he was very quiet tonight. However, he has been great up until now and shouldn't be written off after one below par performance.

Just repeating what Aspinall said.

F**k off! And f**k off Bozza’s incoming ‘Was it a Penalty’ f**king thread.

4 minutes extra time? Who comes up with this shit. It’s like the numbers 3,4 and 5 are in a bag and it’s lucky dip. It was nearly 4 mins for the VAR decision.

We could've played 45 more mins and wouldn't have tested their keeper

 

[Invicta]

We weren't very good! Glad Im in tier 3.

 

[junior]

But he did score a goal this season, so the useless average championship player deserves his spot in the side week in week out.

Glad people are starting to realise this.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Anyway, we look poor and relegation is a very real possibility.

Isn't this why Graham Potter was given a long contract.
In case we are relegated, his style of footy in the Champs, would get us back into the PL.
