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

[Alex BH]

2 minutes added time signalled and then play stopped for 2 minutes for the nose bleed, so 4 minutes, right? No, 2 plus 2 equals 2 1/2 in Bankes' mind.

Yeah there was at least 4 or 5 minutes of stoppages in that first half. Officials useless at keeping time as ever!

 

[Mackenzie]

Bit of a mess really. Perhaps it’s time to go to a back 4 and not try and shoehorn Dunk in the team, which is what it feels like.

 

[Weststander]

Only Stains have worse stats on errors leading to goals.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We look very vulnerable at the back

 

[BBassic]

Apart from the goal I think we've been fine. Mostly.

Think we're missing Rutter and Danny.

 

[slimes]

It's like putting a square peg into a round hole... Adingra is a left winger..

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

2 Dutchmen under Par, 1 above Par, net result a bogey.

Come Brighton.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We are playing like absolute dogshit again.

 

[bristo]

A few thoughts

1. 3 at the back suggests bottling dropping Igor or Dunk.
2. Someone gag the co-comms at half time. Kin hell.
3. Playing alright but could just as easily concede one in the break
4. If Ferguson doesn't start tonight then when?

No. 2 please, PLEASE!

 

[Steve in Japan]

It was a decent first half. We were by far the better team, although Fulham mostly defending well.

Shame about Verbruggen's error - but Igor's poor pass started the dangerous situation. Both can be forgiven, these things happen when playing out from the back.

We're playing good football, and creating some chances, Adringa's should have been put away really.

That first goal might cost us the game. Can't see Fulham changing the way they play. They're going to be really hard to break down.

...but we CAN do it. We need to be quick and brilliant. We are able to score something out of nothing. There is always a risk of them scoring on a break, or capitalise on an error though.

Really don't know how this one will end up. An early goal for us would really open up the rest of the game.

I think we've had one gilt-edged chance where we should have scored, Fulham have had 2 for Iwobi plus a couple of headers from Muniz. I just say that for balance, we've played OK but end product has been lacking. Defensively, we look shaky.

 

[aolstudios]

What has happened? We looked good for a while but last couple of games, nothing working.

It starts with the back 4 (or lack of, since Veltman's injury). When the defence is ropey we're absolutely lost

 

[Weststander]

We look very vulnerable

Second half against Stains, by far the worst team in the PL had a field evening.

 

[Mustafa II]

Reading through some of these comments, a lot of our fans really are entitled twats - Sorry, but you really are. Please change.

We're playing really well away at a decent side. Unlucky to be down because of an error from our young starlet goalkeeper.

No wonder the atmosphere at the Amex is so wank when we're not playing well, if you entitled miserable fuckwits make up so much of the crowd.

I think we're playing really well and we can win this.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Mediocre again!
Doesn't help that the Boy Wonder got himself banned from the touchline!
Fulham looked poor and we didn't look like scoring.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

2 Dutchmen under Par, 1 above Par, net result a bogey.

Come Brighton.

As per usual, we’re 3 putting everything…

 

[jcdenton08]

Should really be level. Dreadful Southampton-esque mistake for the goal, but that aside we’ve looked vulnerable defensively. But we aren’t taking our chances and have had the better of the half in my view.

 

[Mike Small]

In what way is it like £600 a ticket?

It's called sarcasm. Season tickets are up to £3k though and some seats cost £150.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Apart from the goal I think we've been fine. Mostly.

Think we're missing Rutter and Danny.

Yeah, I think we're playing pretty well. Certainly should be at least level. Fulham now all behind the ball which is making it harder.

 

[portlock seagull]

Not enjoying the commentary, awful. May need to turn off second half.

 

[FamilyGuy]

Fulham now feigning head injuries. Quelle surprise!

He did get smacked in the face from close range on a shot on goal and he is bleeding, that’s pretty drastic feigning.
