[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

[Weststander]

It very much feels like relegation form.

Tonight genuinely reminded me of this, with Traore for Mendez-Laing.



From the 35th minute boys against men, powderpuff, physically lightweight and slow Albion players, pacey gifted opponents.

Frighteningly Bloom has created this toothless squad over 9 transfer windows.

Unfortunately not. But with our lack of goals and a weak side, I am not sure many were expecting a goalfest.......if they are honest, so we shouldn't be to disappointed. Long way to go yet.

True, a very weakened side playing a team that were unlucky to lose their last two games against top 3 teams, let’s not get the pitchforks out.

Not sure what people really want. It was disappointing result but at no point did Wolves look a goal better than us.
+ Emotionally = - Rationality

GP is still a good (I would Say Great but maybe I am biased)Manager

We have the best premiership players we have ever had and we are 4 games in hand on points per game


AAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDD Its Christmas ........F@ck1ing cheer up!!!!

Sorry but did you see them hit the post, crossbar AND miss two clear cut chances in that second half?

Wolves did a number on us because we're easy to play against and have been for a while.

 

[The Wookiee]

Factoring in missing players....hmmmmm.....no better or worse than most of them.

Only nine points between us and bottom 3.

I put a tenner on us to go down a couple of weeks ago, with generous odds.

So we won't go down.

But it is likely to be torture again

without the leadership of Dunk, no Webster surging forward and having to play Connelly all contributed to a very poor performance, can’t think of a worst one this season.

 

[The Fits]

Awful, but not our worst of the season. Everton at home was far worse. This was dreadful, yes, but not our worst.

Which is a worry in itself. For it to even be a debate shows how odd our league position has been. We’ve hardly played well all season. Definitely not for 90 minutes.

that's why people are frustrated , they were a very poor team and we could not beat them and it was predictable.

Time to move on and hope we get man united on an off day and Ferguson plays and shows us he is brilliant. To be fair I would also have Tolaj in the squad.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

What we need is one of those people that can put it in the net. The thing that is held up by two sticks and the other stick across the top.

Tired of this. Last time was when we signed CMS. What a marquee signing - remember dancing a jig.......... Finally we had signed a recognised goal scorer..........

We soon converted him to shitehouse, and have done to every other "striker" since.

(Just ranting - ignore me)

 

[DJ NOBO]

Right, I’m all set to watch us dominate for a bit longer. Miss a few chances.
Then concede just before half time.
Then watch a painful second half. Miss a few more chances.
Possibly watch Traore smash in another. .
Swear a bit, cup of tea, then off to bed.

Update:
There was plenty of swearing.
Tea now finished.
Off to bed.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Some of our corners tonight were picked straight from the league 1 Withdean handbook.

Was quite a nice change actually.

 

[Weststander]

Awful, but not our worst of the season. Everton at home was far worse. This was dreadful, yes, but not our worst.

And Newcastle second half.

Since our night at the opera vs Liverpool, yes, I’d say we’re around about Jazz era Queen.

We are going to be bang in trouble again. If you don’t win football matches, you are going to be near the bottom. Squad looks weak in terms of quality and physicality.The lack of striker is really killing us now. The top ten was fun while it lasted but we are slowly dropping to our rightful place. Where is the progress?

 

[Mancgull]

Poor tonight against a team that tactically outdid us. We really miss Dunk and Webster for their defending and leadership, and it will be good to have Welbeck and Maupay back. Goes without saying that we need a win as soon as possible to give us a lift.
We certainly seemed to lack confidence tonight, perhaps due to the lack of key players, but even so.
What is worrying is Potter's seemingly passive behaviour. I know that ranting and raving isn't his style but compare the animated Wolves manager to Potter and you do wonder.
It is only our 4th defeat this season but we need a win to get ourselves back on track. Old Trafford Saturday?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Could have won that game though. Two awful misses by Mwepu.

 

[Mellotron]

Who knew that signing **** all strikers would backfire?!

 

[1066familyman]

Not sure I agree. Everton were pretty good in that game. They simply outclassed us.

Wolves weren't that impressive tonight. We were just woeful, to a man, bar Sanchez.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Bissouma missing Man Utd match is a disaster also.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Piss poor tonight.

Set pieces desperate. Substitutions desperate

Slow, slow, slow in our build up play. Didn't trouble them at all

A lovely goal by Wolves, but this is the PL you'll concede good goals, you have to create chances of your own.

Forget our league position. We're in a relegation fight

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Bissouma missing Man Utd match is a disaster also.

Not on his current form it isn't. MacAllister did alright. Play him there.

I agree, but I am a 1970's supporter and I look for the positives and not the negatives.

We were the better group of players but their game plan worked. There will be days like this and days like Stains.

I think that we, The Albion, are on the cusp of the Tony Bloom vision and a little patience is required.
