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

[Mike Small]

He was clearly shoved in the shoulder meaning he missed the header where the ball went through where he was standing to force the OG

Not from the one viewing I had. Maybe I need to see more. It's hardly a non-contact sport is it though. Defending corners. He offers very little nowadays bar dissent.

And trying to be a comedian during Buzz's Bootroom.

Now is the Winter of our discontent...

Maybe we'll be better in the Spring?!!

Beware the ides of March

Watch it again, the shove changes the outcome

I think the annoying thing is Dunk got punished for a push earlier and then, when pushed himself, doesn't see the same outcome.

If a push is a push in one part of the pitch then it's a push everywhere.

But whatever it's done

Wouldn’t have mattered we were beat anyway.

That was embarrassing manager out of his depth with this squad

Nob.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We played well and lost.

Shit happens.

We are not Real Madrid. Who knew?

(And our keeper isn't going to Real Madrid )

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Frustrating, but not a bad performance. Today the fine margins went against us.

I'm as clear as I can be that 3 at the back does not suit us and had Veltman been fit, I think there's every chance the outcome would have been different. Though I don't blame the manager for it, our right back pecking order is something like ....

Veltman
Kadioglu
Hinsh
Lamptey
Solly
Milner

None of them are fit, (Lamptey clearly being heavily managed). So the manager feels like he has to change it. He might be right.

Don't worry about results like this. It's always a tough away game. It's Southampton, Ipswich, Wolves type games which are killing our chances of achieving the crazy dreams which we're dreaming

 

[Whitechapel]

Giving £200 mil to this guy is tragic! Imagine what RDZ would have done with that sort of money!

Why is there always at least one moron who decides to make some ludicrous OTT display of hating our current manager their personality trait?

It really is quite perplexing.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Well technically if a free kick was given the rest of the game how it was, wouldn’t have actually existed

 

[oldboyroy]

Gaffer has got this badly wrong tonight- probably our worst performance of the season so far

You see, I don't think it was. Yes, we got done by errors but overall thought we were the better side. Think Fab has to take some blame for not being proactive with the subs. Fulham made theirs and changed the dynamics whereas we left ours too late. A few players had stinkers which cost us the goals but we battered them at times without having that killer finish.

Can we please stop singing about the f***ing champions league please

Apart from Wieffer, Baleba and Igor none of them were up for it today.

Despite the rotation they looked leggy and disorganised, tactically we got it wrong. 3 at the back didn’t work. To be fair to Fab, he learned about the high line quickly, earlier in the season and hope this lesson comes at the same speed.

That assist from Pedro was quality and the fool subbed him

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Where’s an international break when you need one

Until the goal I thought Baleba was poor.

 

[Kosh]

Trust the process

I’m not sure the players (or all of them anyway) know the process let alone trust it… okay, we’ve been really good at times this season - well done Fabs in that regard… but at times we’ve looked near on calamitous… it’s really odd… although Roberto, GP all had terrible games too…

I’m going to say it.

It is what it is.

 

[raymondo]

Dropping too many points at this rate. We won’t be getting Champions League by the looks of things.

I've given up beating Liverpool to the title this year

 

[nsclurker]

We. Need. To. Make. Some. Subs.

Now.

Too late. Again.

 

[P.C. Beard]

Some seriously childish over-reactions in this thread.

 

[Mike Small]

No one goes above us. Fulham 1 point behind.

Shame. It would have given us the kick up the arse. As it is, it will be 'oh we're 5th' why are you so enititled. Bla bla, bla.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Actually to be fair you are right, “sloppy”

Also what it’s it with the squad wide tactic of winning the ball back in or around our box and rather than getting rid of it, try out walk it out
