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

[Icy Gull]

I'm not so sure. West Ham were going to be happy with 0-0, I doubt Newcastle will be. The game will be more open from the start which should help us.

I think that we will be bullied and over run like we have not been …since the last time we played them at St James Park. Let me be wrong.

When Burn scores and celebrates like he just won the league, I hope he gets a good booing

Them singing "Champions of Europe" was very tinpot wasn't it, unless they were being ironic?

They were being ironic

Poor mistake from Webster, no need to play a blind pass like that. After the first mistake he seemed to lose confidence and started to stand off the attackers and was at fault for two more goals by standing off. We didn’t really play particularly badly at all, just got punished for some poor defending. Moyes ball is depressing though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team 3-0 up wasting time playing in the corner with 15 minutes to go. Very unnecessary. Those plastic cockneys from Essex can keep their Moyes ball. I’m still confident we can have a positive season again.

Thought Gilmour played well, will get better with a run in the team.

We created enough to win but looked toothless frankly, would have liked to see Pedro instead of Welbeck at the start.

Webster was appalling, looked like he'd won a bet, never in the same post code as a West Ham player, embarrassing!

 

[Munchkin]

Bad day at the office. We will play worse this season and win.

Their goalkeeper was excellent and they took their chances.

Onwards and upwards.

Average 2 points a game all season then we’ll finish in the CL positions

 

[Icy Gull]

Come on if we won it we'd absolutely sing it!

Of course we would, hard to begrudge them some joy, we have turned them over in exactly the same way on a few occasions.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Well that showed why we still need a DM. W ham were not great but broke thru us

Individual errors cost us today, nothing more.

The hype/buzz around us is generally justified, but we'll lose plenty of games that we 'expect' to win, and win a few that we are 'expected' to lose.
We ain't *that* great, but by Harry, we're far, far better than I ever expected us to be.
I can't be downbeat over a single loss - it happens.
My mojo remains strong, for this season.

There are a few players resting on their reputations right now, I don’t think Milner, Solly or Wellbeck deserve their status as starters.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Annoyingly Dear Friend, were did loose

 

[Diablo]

A game we mainly dominated but fiddled about to much, seemed scared to shoot . Reminds me of couple of seasons ago when we couldn`t score.
They on the other hand hand few chances but looked very dangerous attacking and put away their chances.!!! Did anyone look good today ??
Looking forward to Newcastle !!

It struck me how limited our right back options are, if only we could clone Pervis

Harsh on Solly

 

[Dick Head]

Absolutely, they're not champions of Europe though, are they?

No, Leeds are.

We all know we’ll have results like this don’t we, it‘s the downside of DeZerbi ball when teams do their homework and get the bounce of the ball coupled with errors by our defenders

Veltman would've been fine. Dominated West Ham previously

Are you mental? Solly’s been sensational this season. Milner too in the first two games. Welbz had an off day.

NSC bed wetting at it’s finest!

Solly definitely does imo at the moment

This is my greatest surprise with our recruitment. Lamptey is sadly never fit, and beyond him we don’t have a ‘proper’ right back on the books. I’d play Veltman over Milner but even he (or Gross) aren’t full backs in the way that Pervis is.

Harsh on Solly

Nah, 3 goals in 3 games. Time to get rid.
