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

[Cotton Socks]

I have positives!
We played well against the low block, Welbeck is intact, Evan scored a goal & we have another point.

But FFS, I've gone from scaring the dog with my 'yes!' when Evan scored, to him coming back 15 mins later as I'm banging my head on the desk!
For clarity I haven't been banging my head on the desk, the dog just woke up with a jump & he hasn't come over to show empathy.
That feels like a loss.

Really! 2 of the subs got us our second goal. Sure Weiffer defended brilliantly against us, but there was nothing wrong with the others.

You're right of course.

....and now I just feel sad.


And I'm in a perfectly good pub.


But sad.

Two unexpected wins and then drop points against a team at the bottom, how very us
To be fair though they almost took a point from City last week so think they are tougher than their position shows.

Poor game management at the end. So frustrating to throw it away like that. Wolves really went at us second half and let's be honest, are in a false position.

Baleba had dropped off in the 10 minutes before he was subbed. I get it.

That pass though. Facking hell.

 

[seagurl]

Me too. I was joint top!

He is clearly struggling to adapt to the pace of this league, compared to the Dutch
league.
It is way too early to write him off though.

Is it though? He needs to show something - anything that gives a hint that there might be a player there. There just isnt.

We have 2 games against Liverpool next week - taking off Baleba against a side that was getting increasingly aggressive and desperate probably wasn’t a bad idea tbh - and he was box to box throughout!

Would have been a good idea if we'd had Wee Billy to bring on (who we sold for less than half of what we paid for W****er).

We're not achieving anything this season, Hurzeler is too naive and is learning on the job. We might get there eventually, not this season though.

 

[Zeberdi]

Edited post - I lost the stream a few minutes from final whistle so the final score came as a complete shock!

How the heck did we manage to lose a 2-0 cushion in a few minutes? - I thought the Premier League Table had a typo error in it ffs

Edit - thank you mods for deleting my thread - what an idiot to assume we had won two minutes to the end with a 2 goal cushion.

If we are serious about winning the league then we should be smashing Wolves out of sight

That's the title gone

Draw written all over it

No real surprise there!

Wieffer has always been a bit gormless.

 

[jimhigham]

Aaaaargh! This one really stings. That’s the mindset we need to change to really kick on. Teams that finish in the high places win stretches of matches and close games out. Two in a row seems to be our limit.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in the dressing room this afternoon.

Nadgers! I’m going to buy some wine.

Brighton & Hove Albion the team that constantly gifts bottom 6 teams with points #thatbrightonway

I agree. He‘s not just inoffensively bad, he’s a liability too. it’s not a Locadia situation yet though.

 

[DJ NOBO]

All we had to do was see out the game against a crap side….and this happens

 

[Cotton Socks]

What am I missing? It's probably very obvious but I've been busy banging my head on my desk!
