Crewe Are The Joke Team Of This Division & The Albion MUST Take Full Advantage....

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Consider Crewe - with or without their spiritual leader the Dalai O'Grady...

Played: SIXTEEN
Goals For: TWENTY SEVEN
Goals Against: THIRTY FOOKIN SIX

These are CLOWN stats.

They score an average of between one and two goals a game.

They concede an average of two and a big bit goals per game.

No doubt that our defence is well and truly capable of soaking up what their attack has to offer. So... if the Albion score the usual solitary FreakyStunningWhereTheFuckDidThatOneComeFrom goal then that should be considered a piss-poor failure against a defence that fookin LEAKS goals. At which point a proper big bloke up front - even if he has the temerity to ask for wages of some sort - becomes a proper essential, rather than a nice-to-have. Watch closely on Saturday our season may well depend on it.

Been watching videos of last season's matches today.

Although Iwelumo was a bit of a donkey on occasions, we really miss his presence (or that of Benjamin) up front. Amazing to watch how much Leon fed off good knockdowns last season .... maybe time to give Molango a work out

 

[Yorkie]

Molango cannot head the ball.

Tom
Crewe didn't look like any joke team to me when we were at Gresty Rd. I wasn't laughing referee or no referee.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Molango cannot head the ball.

yep Yorkie but neither can Currie or Jake!!!

I wonder how long Virgo can hack it up front .... good as he has been, he is after all a trained and skilled defender

 

[Beach Hut]

We need 3 points Saturday, don't care how but it's a must

 

[Albion Down Under]

We need 3 points Saturday, don't care how but it's a must

Our survival in the Championship depends on picking up 3 points in games like this. Derby and Sunderland will both be vying for the Premiership next year and to play them away I would have been happy picking up a point from one of them it wasn't to be BUT we must pick up the 3 this week.

 

[mrhairy]

We played well at Crewe but they still put three past us and apart from JR nearly scoring at the end we never really took the game to them.

 

[mona]

The important thing is not to lose to them. Three points would be great. Lets hope that cheat Steve Jones doesn't con any free kicks on the edge of the box.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that Virgo has passed his sell by date as a striker and now offers no threat whatsoever as everybody is now used to him.

There is only one answer a loan striker but again NO MONEY

 

[Tighe11]

I thought we where good at Crewe and the result did not tell the true story about the game.
You should never underestimate your opponents or call them a joke of a team because Crewe must be doing something right to be in this League. But i do think we should beat them as they are one of the sides that are gonna be down there at the end of the season.

So we lose a couple and suddenly our season's hero Virgo is not up to it?

Virgo has been among our best players this season. Try and see if you can remember as far back as the Leeds game (tough, I know, it's been a couple of weeks) - he was about our best player that day too.

The loans signings will come but people will have to be patient.

QPR boss Ian Holloway gave an interview today saying that hardly any players were being released by Premiership clubs at the moment for loans.

As for Saturday's game being a "must win" - bollocks. The target is still 50 pts and even if we lose on Saturday, we'll be ahead of schedule.

Whilst at present we are ahead of schedule it is still a game we should be looking at all 3 points. It is a team that will be scrapping with us for survival and they have beaten us at there place now we must be looking at returning the favour. It is a big game for Brighton. We want to be aiming to stay ahead of schedule not on or around it.

Couched in those terms, I agree 100%.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

LI - It's probably Dick Knights fault that Virgo hasn't played very well in the last 2 games.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Totally disrespectful to Crewe.

They deservedly beat us up there a few weeks ago and have cheated the odds year on year by staying up.

Tomorrow is a massive game. Win and we stay on course for survival, lose and you've got to wonder where our next victory will come from.

Dead right - if we want to stay in this division it needs sorting sooner rather than later. Its been ok up to now but the next three home games Crewe Burnley and Rotherham will go a long way to deciding our fate

 

[lincs seagull]

MM has done well to get someone up with knight who can head the ball he has no money and sticking molango or jake or mcphee with knight will not work either.

Virgo is not the only option but at the moment is the best option.

We need a big guy up there how we get one is a different matter at the moment i never see us scoring more than one goal and against derby. the game was dead when derby scored number two.

if we think that crewe stats are a joke lets not look at ours

2 home wins buy an own goal and three away wins buy one nil and the odd draw

and i think only two games where we have scored more than one goal

 

[Marshy]

This isnt the type of thread i like to see on a friday....
Asking for trouble with threads like this we are.

Lets face it Crewe have been in this division for quite a while other than last season and will no doubt be thinking this is a great opportunity to get 3 points away from home after giving us a going over on there patch.

I thought I was the only one who thought we had a problem
-No goals = no points

After wednesday the thought that if they score a second we are f***ed i really am worried about the ability to score goals and create chances

the build up play is great but god finishing
