Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread *** (merged)

JC and WA seem to think so. I bloody hope not as Norwood and Sidwell is a terrifying thought.

Ta for reply

 

[Mackenzie]

Oh well its a point but at a cost. What midfield pairing for Saturday now

One thing for sure, no way will we play 4-4-2 on Saturday.

 

[Eeyore]

Stephens situation has potential to become toxic. Doesn't want to be here and when made to play he contrives to get himself sent off and suspended.

Get rid.

I thought he played rather well Saturday.

 

[Bry Nylon]

I know we are all upset, but this isn't true is it?

He's on a yellow and he takes a player out from behind by lunging in from 2 yards away in the centre circle in front of the ref. He gave the ref no choice but to send him off.

 

[RandyWanger]

A yellow for applauding the ref?

 

[neilbard]

We will be back to 7th on Saturday

That's just silly, and not true. He can't be sold until January, in any case.

Finger in the wind

Shame about Stephens but a point none the less, Wednesday away might be a frightening experience so good thing Mrs Hut is coming

What a T**t

 

[Seasidesage]

Played shit, finished with 10 men and got a point at a tough place to go. God knows what some of you ***** will be like if we get beat...

He did, but it looks like some fans want to put the boot in.

People always talk cr@p on here when things don' t go our way. Always have to blame someone.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Decent point

This.

Still just 2 points behind the "Win at home, draw away = 92 point" finish.

Get rid.

Wasn't he also in the side that played very well at home to Barnsley also ? - We rarely lose when he plays and you want to get rid of him.............CONFUSED ?

You sure about that?

Mick McCarthy did his homework on us, and knew how to stifle us.

Bry what are you talking about? Everything I have seen Stephens do since the window shut has said I am a Brighton player. On Saturday he was superb.

He is not a Brightonian (evidently he is from oop North) but I have not the slightest doubt about him wanting to play football for us this season.

It's the dire performance I'd guess and lack of attacking options and losing the midfield...People can hack defeat as long as it's sort of entertaining.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Clearly gets the ball first but unfortunately that is irrelevant

.....So lets replay this; Stephens sees the player then thinks I am on a yellow let him run on by .... is that what people want? had he done that we would have had people on here would be saying where is his commitment etc....

The issue is the ref got it wrong and you cannot change the way you play thinking the ref will always get it wrong.
