[Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[CaptainDaveUK]

At the game today. Second half we looked good. Even first half we were ok but Burnley were better and had a couple of very good chances and were unlucky. But remember last season we didn’t win any games against bottom six, so to do it first time of asking, away from home is an absolutely massive result. UTA.

It was a really good result - and everyone should rightly enjoy it - but it is only realistic to acknowledge that Brighton were lucky - and sometimes in football you need a bit of luck.

There are 37 games to go and I suspect the team will need a lot more luck. There is no evidence on today’s performance that they have made progress from last season and there is a £50million hole in the centre of the defence. Here is hoping there will be many more good results and the soft underbelly from last season isn’t repeated.

No need to get carried away of course - it’s Burnley (A) and we struggled in the first half. But some good evidence - Potter changed tactics and team to win a game and Dyche couldn’t respond , we beat Burnley which we failed to do last season, we came from behind to win a match - which we did only once last season, and we did it without Veltman, Welbeck, Burn, Lamptey but that showed off depth of squad (Moder, Alzate and Mac A)

But yep. Long way to go and also with some of our best players to come back within weeks and at least 2 key signings likely within 2 weeks ! - wrong to pass verdict just yet !

It goes both ways. Last season we were very unlucky but today we weren’t. We have made progress because we would have lost this game in previous seasons but we turned a gash first half into an excellent second half.

£50 million hole in the defence … really! I think not based upon Ben white’s performance yesterday.

Ben White is used to playing and doing well in a much better defence!

Considering the amount of players we have out and hopefully some re-enforcements to come in, it's comforting to know a mismatch Brighton team can still dominate the ball and win games against fellow decent prem sides. We took control of the game from the 60th minute, before that we were second best. However, overall we deserved the win.

We lost the first half, but won the second. We came away with 3 points. Burnley came away with 0.

You make your own luck. We played really well at times last year and came away with nothing. If all we improve this year is the fine margins, that’s a massive step in the right direction.

Happy Birthday to Neal Maupay and happy birthday to me. Thank you Albion for three points.

Many happy returns, TB....and Mr. Maupay.

Good result - but being realistic, it was a lucky result. Burnley should have been out of sight in the first half. The second half was a lot better - but there are still some serious questions about the squad.

you are tedious, the most enigmatic thing about you is "why are you still here?"

Needed one more card for this to pay £353 ******* ref

He is indeed but it’s still not a £50m hole. A crass statement.

Still cannot score

Still no new Striker

Barber out!!!

Lol

 

[B-right-on]

Sanchez looked shakey in the first half but it is his first PL game with away fans in the stadium, so can give him some slack.

Making good time, at Oxford services now, the first 60 minutes reminded me of when Danny Shitu (of all people) owned us at the AMEX.

The last 30 minutes reminded me why I love the Albion.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

xG 1.76, goals 2!!

Perhaps we've started converting our xG this season!

 

[WATFORD zero]

I appreciate Sanchez had a shaky first half but massive credit to him for the last 10/15 minutes. Those claims he made fron crosses were massive, gave me so much confidence we’d hold out so it must have been the same for the defence.

I expected some real scares in the last few minutes but they just didn’t come, largely thanks to him.

I think all the greatest keepers make horrendous mistakes like all other keepers but have Nicklas Bendtner levels of confidence and consequently, it has no effect on them whatsoever and they go straight back to being great.

Whisper it, but I think we may have one

Mac can be the player to get us a decent goal haul from midfield.

Bloody hell - next the idiot will be telling us that Rodriguez was really in favour of taking the knee!

Bunch of racist thugs, so pleased they have the hump about being turned over. I have lost count of the number of times that we have undeservedly lost or drawn with those *****.

A team of anti footballers who got their comeuppance, love it!

I bet Bong had a smirk too

Jesus Christ, not allowed to say we were unlucky in so many games last season, we get a decent result away from home and it’s lucky. Honestly, who makes this shit up!!??
