Did we bottle it today?.....

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Or am I being harsh?

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

No you're not being harsh and yes I think we probably did.

 

[spence]

It certainly got to the players i feel today

 

[Weststander]

Most players were too uptight. It showed - going for the same balls, giving them space, pointless fouls, balls out of touch. Stephens stood out as a cool giant in midfield, the exception.

 

[sparkie]

Yes, but we easily move on.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

No we just lost, it happens from time to time, we're just not used to it.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Perhaps not bottle but off the pace for,second game. Promo,trumps the title it seems

Would you disagree with the promotion over champions? I agree we could have wrapped it up, but at the end of the day would you be THAT disappointed?

We lost today
Who gives a ****
We're Brighton and Hove Albion
And we're going up

Exactly.

I am as p1$$ed off as everyone else today (not sure about the fairy) but FFS man up guys. We can still nick the title at Villa next week.

At the very least. makes next week on here interesting.

 

[theboybilly]

Maybe a few questions answered today too?

 

[dangull]

They played a very good defensive game. We couldn't break them down.

Shit happens. Villa are where they are because they are not great. Lets hope we win that one, but we are going up anyway.

 

[BrianWade4]

YES
I really want to win the league

 

[gripper stebson]

These players have had TWO SEASONS of continuous high pressure games.

If they have slightly relaxed for these three final games I think they can be forgiven.

We've had similar games to tonight where chances didn't fall and opponent defended and countered.

We play really well on the flip side of that and will be fine next season.

When we bottled it was more the Norwich game I reckon........ now we have our cup final away at Villa and hopefully the players show some urgancy in the last 5-10 minutes

 

[sydney]

Exactly.

26,000 paying "customers" probably.........huge opportunity to go into next season with a massive buzz at the Amex ......given away by a weak performance...(from what i was told by people at the game) we know we lose the ones we should win and win the ones we should lose....probably go and beat villa now in front of the 4/5000 hardcore away fans ....hope so , can't really see it though.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I blame Opera Woman.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I wouldn't say we bottled it, but our intensity has dropped following achieving promotion. The emotion of it all has effected that intensity that saw us through games when we weren't playing well.

I'm still confident they'll pull a rabbit out of the hat next week. It ain't over yet!!

 

[Bry Nylon]

I blame Opera Woman.

Me too.

In fact, in hindsight Villa away may be easier task with none of the peripheral celebratory / commemorative stuff that surrounded the game yesterday. For Villa, the squad can get away a day before and go through their normal routines and treat in like a 'normal' away fixture. Yesterday - what with poetry on the pitch, bloody opera singers, streamers, thousands of balloons and flags and huge expectations - the match had a cup final feel.

Hopefully next week we can just quietly do our own thing and piss on Villa's end of season, just as Bristol City pissed on ours yesterday. And in the process, collect the title.

Of course, I write this more in hope than expectation...
