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

[GT49er]

It was written in the stars - our chance to move up the table and overtake Burnley and Newcastle. Never going to happen, was it.

Microcosm of the season that - nothing spectacular, occasional moments of excitement followed ultimately by disappointment.

Hmmmmm. Are you related to my wife?

So that will be 25 points thrown away from winning positions! Potter needs to somehow add some mental strength to this team!

I'm not having "thrown away". It's not like we've scored a dozen own goals.

 

[portslade seagull]

Good point, just wish we could hang on when infront

 

[Bry Nylon]

Our ability to stay switched on and concentrate for a full game is about on a par with my son's under 10s team.

They conceded once when an RAF Chinook flew fairly low over the pitch and they all stopped to wave at it. (Just to be clear, that was my son's team and not the Albion).

If Veltman or Lamptey were healthy, that right side would have produced goals, goals, goals... Gross not a RWB. I think Gross's only productive position is a holding mid next to Bissouma.

That's his forte too isn't it? Emotional intelligence and strength etc.

He had 4 big chances to score or assist and didn't manage it.

Maupay has the same every 45 minutes and doesn’t manage it.

 

[hoof hearted]

At least he was making the runs to get into those positions. Nothing much was happening on the other flank.

This.

We’re deservedly 17th. Better than the trash at the bottom, but with clear failings.

Rumours of our greatness, ridiculous.

 

[Si Gull]

Leeds and Newcastle, twice each

Yes, rarely.

 

[Skaville]

Sanchez’s positioning looked a bit questionable to me. Great strike though.

 

[Coxovi]

We play the top teams so well but throw away the points. Deeply frustrating but still very entertaining to watch. Always good to be Brighton, but never easy.

What would you say then?

 

[Mike Small]

Maupay has the same every 45 minutes and doesn’t manage it.

AGree. Maupay should be taken off more in games too.

Good point, great finish from Danny. West Ham must hate us, they never win

That was some finish from Benrahma though, oof. Sure we could have closed him down a bit but you don’t expect worldies like that. Well actually you do when watching us.

 

[boik]

Looks like we are finishing 17th then.

We're a point off 15th. Hardly anyone expected us to get a point against WHU. Keep the faith.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Need quality competition for Trossard.

Apparently! Not seen too much of that this season though.
