Brighton & Hove Albion - Watford FC *** Official Match Thread ***

Why do you bother ?[/QUOTE

Look at our fixtures for the next two months. We are slipping down the table, no goals being scored,looking shaky in defence plus the midfield lacks creation. People are now really beginning to get worried. One place above relegation will be a great result.

Really hope Lita can play the full second half

 

[Marxo]

I thought we did ok, the goal was extremely unlucky, if we had Ulloa, Bridcutt and Orlandi we'd be out of sight at HT.

garcia out his depth

 

[R. Slicker]

A lot of easily pleased people on here if they think that's a good performance.
Dire.

 

[Albion Dan]

Bruno is terrible - our worst player

The fact he is getting in over Calde is disgusting. In fact you can trace the start of our bad run to the point Garcia started insisting Bruno be in the first 11 be it midfield of lb.

 

[JTR938]

Bruno needs to get off, he's a complete liability.

Couldn't agree more! How is that clown ahead of Calde in the team??
His passing ability is shocking!

 

[Ernest]

Very uninspiring, injuries no excuse for that performance

 

[maltaseagull]

Doing well with what we got. shame about the deflection.

Agreed, but we need to be more clinical in the pen area (Lita 2nd half?). I think that Bruno hasn't been that bad as some are saying, but where is our Midfield? Hardly seen Crofts or Forster Caskey.

no way you get relegated. there are a lot worse teams and there is always the january window

 

[Mancgull]

We're playing well, but the lack of willing to take a pop is a bit worrying - little flicks and dinks but no attempts to have a crack.

Been disappointed with Bruno. Two changes at HT: Calde for Bruno and Ince for JFC - to release Crofts and Andrews to go further forward.

Completely agree with this. We are playing ok but I agree with the proposed changes

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

garcia out his depth

How? Besides a flukey deflection we've been the better team.

 

[easynow]

Keep the ball in their half and I'm sure we can equalise or perhaps even win.

Only Bruno and Buckley creating anything

 

[vulture]

forstercaskey,bruno,greer and andrews poor so far.Buckley looks our only threat.

 

[HoveSaint]

when you signed Bruno I remember he played in the pre-season game at the Dripping Pan and I was chatting to some of you lot and heard nothing but praise and amazement that you had landed him. Has he really not turned out the catch you thought or is it just this game?

 

[um bongo molongo]

Playing ok and very unlucky to be behind but we do look a bit lacking in quality/threat. Ward and Conway is unfortunately a lot less threatening than bridge and lua lua/orlandi, and neither Andrews or Forster Caskey seems able to break forward like Hammond last year alongside bridders. We just aren't as strong this year unfortunately, especially with the injuries. Can't fault the effort though. Worried Bruno's going to get sent off.

 

[Normandy seagull]

agree we don't deserve to be 1 down. A good performance first half but nothing up front. What a waste of space Barnes is. I threw the cat at the TV when he played that flicky flicky shit pass at the end of the first half. Now it hisses everytime he touches the ball!

 

[glasfryn]

Well, after reading all the doom and gloom on this board for the last few weeks ......

That was nothing like as bad as I thought it was going to be. In fact, it was a hell of a lot better than the last time we played them! Keeping possession, creating more chances than Watford are, faster getting forward. Dunno what the fuss is about - frankly, all we need is two bloody goals and our season will take off.

altered to make our season take off
