[Albion] Ipswich Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[chickens]

Loads of possession? Check.
Dominating the game? Check.
Conceding a goal on the counter? Not yet, but it feels like it’s coming.

Come on Brighton.

At the moment we have all the incisiveness and urgency of a rock. It usually means that the second half will be “the good half”, but it would be nice to string two of them together.

 

[nsclurker]

Is O'Riley playing?
Oh he just got fouled.

Not as yet...

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Agree with Virgo there.

Pedro wasted in the 9 position.

 

[HangletonGull]

Calling it now another draw

 

[Brian Munich]

We need this to be our shit half.

 

[razer]

This game is very dull.

 

[portlock seagull]

He's never been spectacular in my opinion, just a pleasant surprise at how well he has kept things ticking over as I don't think anyone expected much of him. He's not playing particularly well today though, must be said.

Should an established PL side be constantly starting with such a player though? You’d think not really. Oh well, fingers crossed Bart has a good night!

This trying to cross it in when they have 11 in the box isn’t working

Greedy

 

[Eric the meek]

just so painfully slow trying to get the ball forward. i don’t get it. we have players with pace, we have players who play well in transition. have they been told to slow things down by the manager? that seems unlikely. don’t understand it.

We miss Rutter. He drives the team forward.

Are you not entertained?!

 

[dolphins]

Delap again!

 

[Albion in the north]

Ayari is actually getting physically bullied in midfield and I think hes running a bit scared.

We did it with Gilmour last season.

 

[Si Gull]

Velts is gonna get Delap...

True enough, but he's doing enough in training for Fab to pick him. Injuries also playing a part I suspect

We are trying to stick it on the big man's head.

Oh yeah, forgot

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Passengers - Ayari, O'Reilly, Adingra

Just not good enough

 

[The Wookiee]

Half time changes please

Ayari off
Rutter on
O’Riley drops back alongside Baleba
Adingra off
March on

Vergo just picked up on it too. Just crossing it in without much of a plan.
