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

[Peteinblack]

Ah well, my first Score Predictor point of the season!

 

[birthofanorange]

I think that must be the most boring match we've played, this season. I didn't even get a semi at any point.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Two mistakes. Poor back pass from Baleba, poor decision from Verbruggen.

Can’t blame Verbruggen for that.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Can't see anything but losses and 1 or 2 draws 'til the end of the season.

I've correctly predicted the score 3 weeks running, though. If only I were a betting man...

For all Lallanas skill, he's a waste of a player unless we're playing championship pace.

oh, my mistake.

 

[Hugo Rune]

My head is in the transfer window and next season now. Europe conceded today.

The club must sort this horrific injury issue and provide RDZ with the required backup for next season. We need a midfield overhaul. Without Gilmour, we look so clueless.

 

[Weststander]

The poor Albion souls who travelled.

How many actually bothered?

Brentford was worse!

 

[Deadly Danson]

Can’t blame Verbruggen for that.

You absolutely can. Awful keeping. I'm happy with Bart starting and think he's a good keeper but if Steele had made the howler Bart did at Liverpool and then today we'd never stop hearing about it.

 

[Hometownglory]

Terrible performance. These players are either on the beach or not playing for RDZ. Albion mojo on the low side after watching that. We look like a team with no belief at all. I'd personally hold off on RDZ contract extension talks.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Rest of the season will be the same. Season is over so let's look forward to next season.

 

[Zeberdi]

He shouldn't have to. Baleba was the one who made a mistake

Yes, he should have to because he was in possession - Baleba made a mistake but when the GK is the then last man between his goal and an opposition player, and in possession of the ball then the buck stops with only him if he’s made a poor attempt at clearance and hits it right into the path of a charging attacker - he could have played it wide.

I don’t want to single out Bart - if Adingra, Welbeck and Pedro et al had converted a string of chances, Bart’s minor error wouldn’t have been so costly.

 

[Weststander]

Can’t blame Verbruggen for that.

It was Steele’s fault anyway, he distracted him.

 

[SlickHenry]

Very tepid performance. We really are struggling to create anything of note at the moment and really miss Gilmour. I can't see us getting many more points if I am honest. I thought Baleba was good again but overall very uninspiring.

 

[Marxo]

I have to say, I didn't enjoy that.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The game was practically ignored on Soccer Saturday and pundit Kris Boyd even missed the first goal because he was watching the Citeh match .

It was the sort of game that would have suited Gilmour. He would have got us playing just like Lallana did near the end.

 

[raymondo]

Technically, Verbruggen's assist as he kicked it against him...

So it was an intricate team goal again... nice

 

[fly high]

And we still haven't scored.
