[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Swansea City *** Official Match Thread ***

off Ryan's back and out - he is better than Stockdale!

Duffy's got to start getting some of these in.

Jangling nerves just got janglier. And yes we are sitting back and letting Swansea bring the game to us. This tactic has screwed us up many times this season.

Yes - my tongue was firmly in my cheek...

Well I apologise.

FFS Brown Ale 2-0 up at Smugmouth!

Swansea are not going to score today, even if we played until 4.45pm!

 

[Mellotron]

Got a bit sleepy there. Locadia on later might help us press higher up and stop those rare scary moments of them playing through us.

When Murray scores, Murphy scores

Free header from there he should be scoring. He never heads it downwards, I know it is not always possible but still. Duffy is always trying to destroy the ball with his head rather than place it in.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Need to try and push out more.

They are having waaaay to much of the ball

Well - if they get a few more, we'll go above Bournemouth. Bizarre league.

Hopefully bring one of the new boys on early in the second half and put the game to bed. Yeah, I know, it's not the CH way but please, just for once!

Decent game really. Swans are quite attacking but not really threatening IMO. Looks like Murray is in a bit of discomfort with his shoulder so wouldn’t be surprised to see a change 2nd half.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'll be surprised if this stays 1-0. Delighted but surprised.

Not too worried about that. Bournemouth almost looked safe two games ago, they have now conceded six goals in a game and a half to Huddersfield and Newcastle. I think all of us need to stop looking at the position of the team, and only look at the points. Bournemouth were 10th, but were actually only 5 points off the relegation zone before today. If a team was 16th and five points ahead of relegation you would think they were still bang in trouble.

We score a goal and then stop...................Why do we do that, what is the teams mental attitude once we score.

My team would be doing everything to get a 2nd not sitting back FFS.

That's what I thought too. It was from that soft penalty.

Agree very much, just perplexed that we couldn't even beat Smugmouth!

Lucky to be up, midfield just can't pass the ball as ever. If I was Kayal watching this I'd be pissed off. Relying too much on crafty Murray

 

[Bob'n'weave]

I'm always nervous when we soak up pressure after going ahead. Commentator on my stream was saying "its ok having possession but if you can't penetrate then something is not working". For all their possession we look far more likely to score when we go forward.

2-0 to the good guys. UTA
