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

[Ethelwulf]

A fair result unlike against Wolves and Ipswich were we should have won. Positives are up
To 2nd and didn’t lose
Still unbeaten at home this season.

So Brighton to beat Spurs , both Manchester clubs at home
Yet draw to Forest , Wolves , Ipswich and Saints it’s madness

We are 2nd

We are 2nd due to better head to head with Manchester City

 

[US Seagull]

At least we're still second for tonight, at least. We won't be by the end of the weekend, unfortunately.

 

[Bodian]

Poor performance, nervy crowd, very fortunate not to lose with an extremely harsh offside going their way.

Onto the next one and hugely improved performance.

It wasn't harsh - the guy was clearly interfering with play and miles offside.

 

[kjgood]

Just not good enough tonight.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

I guess at least we all expected it. It's the hope that kills you.

 

[One Love]

One team looked bottom of the table in the second half and it wasn't Southampton.

Terrible attitude that revisits every time we play a relegation team at home.

And that ref can do one too.

We are 2nd due to better head to head with Manchester City

I think it's alphabetical.

Good luck getting home everyone.

We'll wait for the thread in due course.

It wasn't harsh - the guy was clearly interfering with play and miles offside.

I think it was very, very harsh. He flicked out a leg behind him, after the ball had passed him. I think we’d be absolutely livid to see that given against us

 

[Marxo]

Bad start to the weekend very underwhelming.

 

[Mackenzie]

Flat.

 

[Mancgull]

Doesn’t look good for Mitoma that. Really poor tackle and Karou looks like he’s got a nasty knock.
Southampton deserved the draw but our attacking play in the send half evaporated.
At least we have Baleba back and Dunk looked decent when he came on.
We missed general leadership in the second half.

 

[Bodian]

I think it was very, very harsh. He flicked out a leg behind him, after the ball had passed him. I think we’d be absolutely livid to see that given against us

Even if he hadn't flicked out his leg he was clearly interfering with play in that position.

 

[razer]

We are 2nd

Joint second. It ain't the same.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Last Friday anf four points from the next two games we'd have been happy, we just did the usual arse over backwards way of achieving it. Poor second half.

 

[Bodian]

Bad start to the weekend very underwhelming.

I think I'll avoid looking at the scores over the next few days just so I don't keep thinking 'what if...'

 

[Soton Seagull]

Crap against the crap. Again.

Shambles of a 2nd half.

 

[jimhigham]

Well if you can’t win three games on the spin, at least get the draw on the third match.

Second in the table due to the joy of the alphabet and still unbeaten at home. I could moan but really? What’s the point?

It’s just a game…

…and I’m going to keep telling myself that until I believe it.

SInce VAR helped us, I can't believe how flat we were. Passing not crisp. When it was, we've kicked it out for a goal kick. Gave away SO many needless soft fouls. Weiffer heads a free header into the air/backwards. Ferguson plods along. So slow in mind. Dunk made Ryan Fraser loo like Vinicious Junior. Ayari falling over at every opportunity.

Losing against Man City after 70 minutes. No problem. 3 points.
2-0 down at half time against a rampant Spurs. No problem 3 points.
1-0 up after an hour against the whipping boys of the league.....

So frustrating and needless. Actually relieved we've got a point. We don't have the mentality.

Oh well. 34 years of supporting the Albion. It's what we do, Even if we are SECOND!
