[Albion] Japan pre season

[Thunder Bolt]

Good attendance

 

[Mellotron]

October 2024.... "Freescoring Brighton laid on yet another feast of attacking football for an adoring Amex audience. The Seagulls' transformation under Huerzeler has been remarkable and locals are starting to believe that the surprise early season tabletoppers could finally end a long wait for major silverware on the South Coast."

 

[Eric the meek]

Sarmiento has had a good game. Commentator said he set the tone. That was a good comment by the er, commentator.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Some big decisions coming up re players. It's looking a supremely gifted squad but it's absolutely enormous.

We will be going for top half of the top 6 and 2 cups hopefully!

 

[BadFish]

Does anyone else still smile a little when commentators talk about our players 'from Boca Jnrs', 'from Benfica', the most exiting player to ever play in sweden', 'younger saka'?

You lot are probably more used it it being in Brighton but f*** we have come a long way from 'bag of tracksuits from Stanstead'

 

[dazzer6666]

Looking forward to the 'our strongest XI' thread in a few weeks.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Good attendance

Is that the number of wingers we have on the pitch?

 

[peterward]

They've played their part in the match, the least we can do is let them have a consolation goal.

Theres obvs a bit of a gulf in class, but these 2 stats on my football app are still relevant...... and about to be broken.

"Brighton haven't won an away game in their last 8 matches"
"Kashima Antlers are unbeaten in their last 17 home games in all competitions"

 

[Insel affe]

I really, really like Barco

 

[BadFish]

Barco is quality, best ginger left back since Kerry Mayo.

 

[RandyWanger]

Good for a pre season friendly game

 

[sir_gullahad]

Only a preseason friendly, but couldn't have gone much better.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Blimey how do you pick a first eleven out of that pool of talent!

 

[Bald Head]

Very impressed by our youngsters.

 

[Eric the meek]

I wonder if Fab expected it to be so easy

 

[maidstoneseagull]

Taking the opposition into account, that was fun. Load of pace and movement across the front players. I don't think we saw a test of the Hurzeler tactics in this one but underlines the potential we have.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well that was jolly good, very enjoyable. Early days and somewhat meaningless but blimey, we appear to have some seriously good, young players. Great to see quick forward passes and breaks, lots of movement. Good stuff.

 

[BadFish]

Most important thing is to see how we are going to set up and play.

Very exciting from what I saw. Now to see if it will work in the premier league and how it matches again the teams around us.

Excting times to be an Albion fan!!

 

[Blue3]

Well that was an entertaining game 5-1 on that showing I was unsure if we were brilliant or they were not very good having said that Dubury, Mintec looked like they will be useful additions and Sacimento looked like he has come back with a point to prove

 

[crabface]

That was great entertainment, can't wait for the season to start now.

Lots of decisions to be made, but what a talented group of young players we have.
