[Albion] “It’s exciting to be a Brighton fan at the moment”

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Charlton was just an EPL warm up. Abu Dhabi’s sportswashers will win the League Cup anyway.

Charlton had a feel of a pre-season game where they were slightly ahead of us in their preparations for the new season.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Against the grain, I'd rather we'd beaten Charlton. We are comfortablely mid table and I'd rather we won something - which we had a decent chance of doing - rather than hanging on the big 6's coat tails for a possible 7th.

That said, it was a fantastic afternoon in the pub today. Much better than standing in a never ending queue at Charlton. On rail strike TV days, there is something to be said for being an armchair fan.

Are you completely head-mental?

 

[Swansman]

Sorry, but I absolutely despise that dicking-around-at-the-back shit. Always have done, always will

Just makes it better

 

[Easy 10]

Sorry, but I absolutely despise that dicking-around-at-the-back shit. Always have done, always will

That dicking around at the back shit has taken us to 9th, and right now 6th. We're currently very much on the right side of the risk-reward element.

It's mad as hell, inviting just the worst but also just works.

Oh look, there's me being trolled again by some random weirdo in rural Sweden. Still, taking the positives, could be worse. He could be in Chailey

 

[Iggle Piggle]

I'm still pissed off we didn't win the Championship.

 

[jcdenton08]

Sorry, what’s the reference point here? Adam Lallana said this?

That reminds me of something RDZ said in his post match interview,. He wants us to make mistakes, what I think he meant, which was probably lost in translation a bit, is I want us to take risks. We are playing a lot more risky football at the moment, there was a great article during the world cup break about how much more of a risk we take under De Zerbi compared to Potter but the reward is there for all to see.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

We’ve taken a big step up from potterball, mainly in the mental positivity that was supposed to be the previous managers forte. Confidence and team spirit currently at 100%.

First time it goes wrong and costs us point(s) there will be all these after-timer Clevor Trevers falling over themselves to tell us how they always knew it would go wrong

to be fair this already happened Potter, happened under RDZ and happens under any progressive manager. It's a risky strategy, we're currently reaping the rewards.

 

[Munchkin]

Sorry, but I absolutely despise that dicking-around-at-the-back shit. Always have done, always will

Would you prefer we go for the big lump upfield for the 5ft 2inch Trossard to win the flick on header?

 

[Swansman]

You'd imagine that with the club doing better than ever, you'd drop your desire for Brighton to play like Burnley, but nopes.

 

[Weststander]

It will go wrong, it’s the nature of the beast.

But hopefully that’ll be outweighed by more wins/goals along the way.

Far better than the non-scoring football you, others and I suffered/complained about before.

 

[zefarelly]

Honestly I love how we play the scariest, riskiest passing game with intent instead of passing out from the back only to pass back to the back.

It feels like we're doing it because we want to and because we can and we know we can make it work, we were never that good at it until very recently. It's pure football filth

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Makes it worse IMO. Free win.

Was a good performance today. Might be brought back to earth by Arsenal but overall the game schedule looks pretty nice up until April. Hopefully the results will keep coming.

Arsenal will fall away as the season progresses, just annoying to lose Caicedo for that one.

 

[zefarelly]

It's not just dicking about at the back though, we're dicking about all over the place making teams look bang average and it's mostly a winning choice. With a few kittens here and there.

 

[Swansman]

Meh. Personally prefer to have players suspended for those kind of probably-not-winning-games rather than good-chance-of-getting-3-points-games.

Maybe - but Arsenal is a 'must-win' if we're to catch them for a CL place.
