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

I don't understand why Baleba was taken off..

 

[HangletonGull]

The frustration of the result has been overshadowed by the Wolves fans walking up and down near the queue for the park & ride singing homophobic songs.

I’ve no doubt that there were other incidents like that during the game as I saw something going on in the East stand partyway through the second half as well.

Some police eventually corralled them but it didn’t look like they were getting much of a telling off.

I’m queer myself and seeing such brazen behaviour at our home, out in the open, unopposed and unpunished, has left me feeling strangely emotional and uncomfortable.

A rotten end to a disappointing day.

Was in the que with my daughter and nephew

Just imagine this squad in the hands of an average manager.

 

[Oh_aye]

I don't understand why Baleba was taken off..

He was Donald ducked. He regularly is breathing out of his arse at 65+ mins.

Didn’t his game unravel? Repeatedly giving the ball away 30 yards out, trying to be too smart.

 

[Munchkin]

Here's one: Throwing away 2 points having a 2 - 0 lead, at home, against the bottom club, with a few minutes remaining.
Still, if you think otherwise, fill yer boots.

First half was our most dominant performances of the season.

Welbeck scored AGAIN

Baleba was outstanding

Igor is proving himself as an able replacement should JPVH or Dunky get injured.

Ferguson off the mark with an excellent finish.

Ayari superb and has come on leaps and bounds.

Estupinian finally looks back to his best.

But keep focusing on those negatives 2 mins if it makes you feel better.

Eh?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

There must have been 7 or 8 passes in the final third that were a couple of feet too short or too long.

It was a recurring theme.
We should have smashed them.

It stings right now, but also it bodes well.

 

[Cotton Socks]

I was sitting at a bar watching it and punched the marble bar on their second goal! Luckily I slowed my punch enough to not hurt too badly!

Is that a way of saying you drink in posh pubs? I wouldn't punch my desk as it would disintegrate, not from the force of my punch but it's from Argos.

 

[Washie]

A draw is a fair result but I don't give a shit about fairness.
No way should a professional footballer f*** up a 4 v1 like that.
And people saying players are knackered after 9 games, they can f*** right off!

I said Baleba was knackered

Recency bias means people be mad. I am mad, that was underwear-on-head stupid from Weiffer. It overshadows the good things because of the magnitude of the f*** up, what it cost us and the recency of it. Nothing good came after it except the final whistle.

Haha! Keep ignoring the fact that we threw away a TWO goal lead, with minutes remaining and focus on those positives.
(I do realise that we did a lot 'right', but f*** me....throwing that lead away....within minutes...against a crap side?)

We have an average manager.

 

[BN41Albion]

The 'you know what you are' song was apparently aimed at us in that respect, according to a Wolves fan I know (she was disgusted).

Unfortunately not a surprise- Wolverhampton isn't the most forward thinking town to say the least

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

That’s because our new manager’s system leaves him totally isolated and trying to run the midfield all on his own. Quite frankly, he’s been ridiculously good considering the pressure the system puts on him.

 

[maltaseagull]

Sometimes a result is down to one player f**king up big time. Nothing Weiffer has done so far indicates he's anywhere near good enough at this level.

Looking like a poor decision to sign him so far

Lol, i do but not this time! I'm in a hot country so bars can be marble...

Yep. In the cold light of day tomorrow yeah maybe I'll appreciate some of the first half performances. Right now... nahhh f*** it

 

[Cordwainer]

Not sure what the feck that second half was about but everything that was done well in the first just didn’t materialise aside from the first 5 mins or so. Ferdi was putting some delicious balls into the box in the first and Baleba was magnificent but the whole team seemed to lose all intensity and focus in the second allowing Wolves to build up a real head of steam. Fantastic goal from Evan and hopefully will give him the confidence to get back to his old self. Gruda should not have been bought on and the less said about fouronone gate the better. Can’t help but think if Dunk and Welbeck had been on the pitch then those last 10 mins may have played out differently. Extremely frustrating result.
