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

[Mustafa II]

Not a good performance at all despite the scoreline. Creating nothing and at risk of conceding from counters, we really need to start showing some urgency and stop passing it backwards so much

very frustrating so far. passing casual, final ball not been good enough and we seem to get very bogged down on the edge of the penalty box, not something new, i know. still, happy to be one up

Jesus Christ the expectations of some of our fans has become astronomically high.

We're not quite up there with Man City yet...

I think it’s because West Ham have been absolutely gash and it’s a bit eggy at 1-0. Just nerves

no but we can play and have played a lot better than that, quite often. realistically if we come out of second gear we could get past this lot 3/4 -0, and no i don’t think that’s me having unrealistic expectations, it’s just how good we are

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Has someone died? It’s like watching a game in a morgue staffed by librarians

We'd all fallen asleep

It was only the ref's whistle that woke everyone up.

 

[Gabbafella]

Not quite sure how people are saying we've not played well.
We've totally controlled the game all over the pitch, Steele hasn't had much to do but has made a couple of cracking saves when needed, good wing play, March has looked lively, caicedo and Mac dominating midfield, what more do people want?

 

[Si Gull]

We're playing like we don't believe they can score and it's only a matter of time before we get a second. Hope they're right and we don't get caught like we did vs Fulham.

 

[dolphins]

Solly back out for the second half. Good news.

 

[dangull]

West Ham did have 2 chances in one move which Steele saved well with his legs. Surprised Sanchez has been rested, but Steele has done ok so far.

If you have 76% of the ball and create one shot every ten minutes, its just not fabulous.

If this was 0-0 no one would say it was a good half

 

[Bodian]

Hoorah - a shot. Missed mind you - but a shot.

 

[The Fits]

We seem to have really lost that thrust we had under RDZ and have reverted to pre Caicedo Potter a little. Still, shouldn't really complain.

GOAL!! From a corner?

Another goal?

And there it is!

 

[Billy in Bristol]

GOAL!! From a corner?

Truly exceptional times we are witnessing

 

[The Fits]

Supersub!

 

[Si Gull]

Goal from a corner? Shirley not! 2-0

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Jeez that was so blinking easy…

 

[Red Squirrel]

terrible defending! Goal from the master of the dark arts.
