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

[Washie]

No injuries really is key. I hated the line up and it has gone as expected - but it’s really not the end of the world. Again, no injuries is critical.

March, Mitoma, Pedro and Hinshelwood. If we're falling apart due to only 4 injuries, thats a massive problem

 

[schmunk]

2-0 is a dangerous scoreline at half-time. Could 4-0 by full-time!

Or 2-3...

 

[WhingForPresident]

So f***ed off that I don't think anything I have to say could be considered rational.

It's all just so predictable.

 

[Bob!]

Fati and Adingra warming up on the pitch

How did Baleba get a yellow early on yet Fulham keep fouling and nothing is given to them.

 

[Insel affe]

Gross for Webster.
Wellbeck for Ferguson.
Buannotte for Lallana

I actually wouldn’t bother, I think most folks have made there peace with a defeat including staff, save them for Thursday because we could get an embarrassing hiding on this performance in Rome.

 

[Justice]

I'm not sure why anyone's surprised – most people predicted a defeat and it's a depleted squad with a load of players who aren't used to playing alongside each other.

People should just chill out and enjoy the ride...

Yeh we're not playing well, that's tough to watch, but hardly end of world stuff.
I'm not exactly happy about it, but all the time we're playing, Albions history is still being made from that manic Hereford day, where it could've gone either way.

I wish all could just take their blinkers off and look where we are.

We are mid table

 

[zefarelly]

We have our biggest game ever and the most important this century on thursday,

We should have just stayed at home and gifted Fulham the 3 points.

 

[dazzer6666]

Not surprised given the lineup. Adingra and Fati coming on I think.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Or 2-3...

Here' hoping

Hooper is a bellend. I suspect VAR have been in his ear to tell him as much, which is why he has been more lenient since.

 

[Tarpon]

Ferguson not only ineffective, but just looks defeated. I don't know what they need to do with him, but it's not working.

Ferguson thrives off penetrative wing play. We haven’t got any atm.

 

[Jeremiah]

Ferguson not only ineffective, but just looks defeated. I don't know what they need to do with him, but it's not working.

That's harsh - he's got nothing to work with. Lallana didn't play him in when he made the run.

 

[birthofanorange]

We really do look dreadfully poor and I very much doubt that we can turn it around. No idea what's gone wrong, really - is it simply injuries? It just seems that we've become so lacklustre, recently, and that's mirrored in RDZ....although it could be the other way around.
f*** knows, but we're no longer setting the Prem on fire, that's for sure.

You are missing my point. I am saying if another key player were to get injured ahead of Thursday, such as Groß, Dunk, or Welbeck, it would be very bad news indeed. I hope RDZ is sensible enough not to chase a game by taking risks with players who are crucial to our European campaign.

Lexden Road Fish and Chips. You'd never go in Trawlers again. Best chippy in East Sussex.

Trawlers in Willingdon gets a hearty recommendation from me. Also does lovely kebabs.

 

[Wes Tupper]

To be fair, Fulham are making the most of their eleven man advantage.

 

[Weststander]

Ajax are a mid table championship side this season. Akpom upfront.

I was joking re the Ajax cleaning product.

On to the football, it literally was the worst Ajax squad in 60 to 65 years. But for a club with all our sh1t post Bamber, it was the pinnacle.

 

[Justice]

This is probably the weakest starting 11 RDZ has put out since he joined the club.

Yes he needs to get sacked to get the Barca job they can’t afford the buy out.

 

[portlock seagull]

Ferguson not only ineffective, but just looks defeated. I don't know what they need to do with him, but it's not working.

Another Connolly…?
