Cordoba vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

By all accounts this seems like a good result, Cordoba were similarly challenging for promotion to La Liga last season and just missed out.

20/1 to be relegated may well be a decent bet if we don't get a new striker soon

Pathetic comment

I think you'll need to be a bit more subtle than that.

I'll agree with that. I like hearing about our physicality and Vicente's input. Can't wait for the first proper game.

I'm happy with that. Good run out for Bridge, another 75 mins for Vicente and gave Bruno some more playing time with his new team mates.
Opposition are roughly the same level as us, pushing for top tier. We played at their place without our in-form strikers and come out 0-0.
Happy.

Poyet out!!

PRE season is IN dissaray AND I dread to THINK what the SCORE may BE next Saturday AGHAINST Chelsea and I can ONLY hope ANDRE Villas Boas DECLARES if the SCORE gets too BIG. Poyet SHOULD have been HERE getting some NEW strikers and BIG lads in the TEAM instead of FANNYING about on the COSTA del Sol.

From the OS 88: Ryan Harley connects with a sweet strike on the edge of the Cordoba box but Garcia gets down quickly to make a smart save.:

Finished 0-0 between #bhafc and Cordoba with both clubs saying it was a good test. Cordoba reporting "a very physical and demanding match"

Sounds about right. Given that there are 24 teams in the division, statistically there is a 1:8 chance of going down or 12.5% chance. That the bookies are offering 20/1 shows that they think we won't go down!

Cordoba are the equivalent of a top 6 Championship side.

 

[Barn Door Billy]

Out of interest, when do the team get back from Spain?

Poyet is a poor manager when it comes down to finding & securing attacking scorers. This I think is his biggest weakness. We are not going to attract a decent scorer this year & will have to rely on the headless chicken & Barnes. Lower mid table I suspect.

You've got a point. If Drogba is up for it, we'll get mullered.

Cheerio for this evening , as the has started.

Don't be stupid, Barnes is the new Peter Ward.
Apparently.

Schools out.
