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

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

These injuries are getting really concerning.

I'm getting to the point where I just want the season to end so everyone can rest and get their health/fitness back. We can regroup over the summer and have a proper go next year.

I'd we don't win this we aren't going to get very many points beyond today. Could quite possibly see even Fulham catching us.
Need a massive reaction second half.

The guy is stealing a living.
There's absolutely no evidence he is doing his job properly. None.

 

[Weststander]

No.
But something isn't right.
It isn't just injuries- these players have played a lot together.
We are now in this mid ground of struggling both against better footballing teams and teams that low block. We seem so tentative. Bullied. Out fought.
Things that we simply weren't under RDZ last season. I know we are missing key players but it's a squad game so it's a big worry.
Edit. If it's literally all about Mitoma we are f***ed. You can't rely on one player, especially as a team who sells their best players.

Bullied.

Then it goes back to that old chestnut of a CM with pace, power, bite, relentless tackling.

We had that on steroids up to summer 23.

And someone argued that Gilmour is a brilliant DM’er

If we have a set piece coach they should be sacked in the summer.
Even the most myopic supporters can't deny our set pieces are absolutely woeful.

For all the number of hangers-on on the bench I don’t think any will be putting their hands up.

 

[Gabbafella]

Very poor game of football.
We look so slow, predictable, toothless. And this female commentator's whiny voice is making it even more painful.
Can't see how we change the game.

Why would we not have injuries next season? It's a fact that across the league teams are now experiencing more injuries. That won't stop.

He's been in the job since 2019 !

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Shockingly poor first half.
Everyone knows our dream of European football is over if e don't win this.
Lucky to not be 3-0 down.

RDZ needs to earn his salt.
And SORT IT OUT.

I wonder what is does psychologically to hear from your manager that your squad isn't good enough. Must batter your confidence.

This is exactly my point. Losing the dressing room is definitely a risk when you’re implying your squad isn’t good enough.

Lovely work if you can get it.

I’ve said it for ages, forget Dunk or Gross, Mitoma is our most important player. Without him we’re half the threat. Thanks god Joao Pedro is back mind you as his individual brilliance is our only other real threat.

RDZ really needs to find a way for us to play without Mitoma, we can’t be so one dimensional.

Anyone want to a pm a stream please?

He hasn't earned his salt for a number of weeks. Just pointed fingers at everyone else.

 

[brighton terra]

You’d be hard pressed to tell which of these two sides isn’t battling to avoid relegation!

 

[Exilegull]

Most exciting team in the league nonsense just watch us. Poor week after week

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

This season is dragging on.

I don't understand how we can't do a Brentford, who seemingly use their data analytics expertise to get one brilliant set piece coach after another (so good that their past one is at Arsenal and the current one is off to Chelsea).
