Brighton & Hove Albion Vs Wolverhampton Wanderers ***Official Match Thread***

[Dick Head]

Any news on why Bruno came off?

Sounds like groin but waiting for CH post match interview.

Edit: Maybe a little bit of fatigue - CH

Very good win indeed and the only concern is more players missing for the next game....seems to be growing that list.

 

[GT49er]

Hunemeier and Goldson I would think

Why? Why not play a right back at right back - I don't hold too much with this playing out of position stuff. Hunt in for Bruno if needed, Goldson at CD. Goldson only came on for Bruno because we didn't have Hunt - or an other right backs - on the bench.
Anyway, I've got a good feeling about young Hunt - think he might turn out OK.

Should have won that by more than 1 goal IMO.

Goal difference could be very important again and there was a significant period where they looked very poor, but we didn't capitalise.

Still, could have been much worse!

Wolves must have had many shots late on tonight as we sat back....very dangerous game and thankfully paid off tonight

I just think Hughton will go for experience...

Late goal ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[El Turi]

Made hard work of it in the end but we were the better side overall. Usual diabolical refereeing from Stroud. Why did he add on 7 minutes when he only signalled 4?

Not keen on goldson in centre midfield

Slow substitutions and that's why subs in injury time are not always a good thing

OK. Corrected!

I think Stockdale had to have hands like Kenny Everett to keep them out!

 

[GT49er]

It is if you are under pressure as it destroys the flow of the game.

Yep, always works fine for us, and soothes my nerves, every time!

Goldson has played a lot of his career at right back. He'll do a cracking job there if needed. As will the BFG in the centre. But if Bruno is suffering from fatigue, then he ought to be OK for Saturday. I'd be amazed if Bruno can get through 46 games this season. There will be niggles, and he'll need protecting. Until Liam's back playing again, I suspect it'll be Goldson that covers for him, rather than Hunt.

All true - can't deny any of that. It would still be Hunt and Goldson for me in that scenario though. Guess we'll find out on Saturday.

We will find out on Saturday.

 

[Machiavelli]

In injury time if he hasnt got a yellow already Dunk should kick the ball away to get a yellow and miss Wigan rather than Norwich.

You clairvoyant, BG.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

The hanging on at the end is not good for the old ticker. I don't understand why we leave absolutely nobody up for those corners. Leave one of the shorter, quicker players up or, no matter how effectively you may clear a corner, the ball's coming back at you because there's absolutely nobody to apply even faint pressure on the man in possession. Giving the ball back to the oppos and leaving the man in possession with all day to pick his ball in cost us two points on Saturday and could easily have cost us again last night, four potential dropped points which could have come to define our season. As it's turned out it was a potentially huge three points but that is not enjoyable watching at the end of what feels like every game.

 

[Albion 4ever]

If he could wouldn't he have come on for Bruno tonight?

On B&HAFC website, it says Bong has got 5 booking as well?
