[Albion] Immensely proud

[Mr Putdown]

Here’s a reason to be proud. Reading today’s Telegraph report on your game against Newcastle and it said this:-

“Yet there is something more significant that defines the differences between the teams. Brighton are enjoying themselves. They have not been in this position before, and whatever the final destination, they intend to enjoy the journey.

For Newcastle, who go to Stoke City today, there is only bitterness and fear. They are a club who never believe they should be in this position, especially with a manager such as Rafa Benitez.”

Happy New Year to you all.

Indeed... enlightenment vs. entitlement.

I know which I prefer.

I'm actually loving it... Chris Hughton deserves the freedom of the universe and beyond, for setting up a team that can actually get Glenn Murray pushing double figures at 30 fricking 4 in the PL over the course of a season.

He was unlucky today (Chris), we'll get this back in spades against one of the big boys... just you wait and see.

As it was written it will be.

Believe.

I didn't quite get that impression, but i did get the impression that we are definitely interested and perhaps in talks. He certainly didnt deny it or even try to play it down like i would have expected.

Okay, so i played it up a bit but Chris's unemotional face looked to be cracking into a if only you knew smile!

It does indeed, two half’s make a pint

How many halfs in a whole though? None a hole is empty. Feeling remarkably upbeat today despite 2 points dropped to an extent

Exactly. If we can’t enjoy this season, and in particular being mid table, then when will we

This was the first game this season that I felt short changed by the side. I hold close to zero hope that we’ll sign a striker, maybe we’ll get an attacking midfielder on loan. I reckon we’re really going to have to see out this season with pretty much the squad we have.

I’m intrigued by this post.
What did you feel “short changed” by?
Sure, some of the decision making could have been better, and the ball should have been cleared before the 2nd equaliser,but I thought the whole team gave everything today. There were some very tired players at the final whistle. If they keep giving their all over the next four months we will be ok.
Whilst I am disappointed with the final result, I am not disheartened, and there is no way that I feel short changed.

Tbh I think they get paid well over the top for the job they do, that's soccer for you!

 

[ferring seagull]

Yes definitely but still hope we can strengthen in the transfer window cause I think we are not that far off !

Again; we were playing a team who are happy to spunk 50k a week (and the rest) giving Jemaine Defoe a decent retirement fund... I agree the manner of the second equaliser was comical at best, but we are doing very well to stay in the 'mixer' given the relative budgets of those around us and, and the fact the Bournemouth have done pretty well over recent seasons at this level.

In short; I don't feel short changed, gutted not to win yes, but I don't think our boys had much left in the tank in those closing stages.

Bournemouth have a far deeper squad to rotate in order to keep players fresh for the game.
