[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[London Irish]

Well Clinton Morrison is the cherry on the cake

 

[um bongo molongo]

Don’t like Clinton but he’s dead right that a back four with Gross and Bissouma in front leaves too much space. Gross is not a holding midfielder.

 

[twickers]

Smug Eddie my ar*e

 

[paulfuzz]

do Leicester pay Wesley or does he play Fofana?

That said Dan Burn way out of his depth, Solly needs to cover.

 

[portslade seagull]

Stains, Newcastle, CP - similar budgets, far better at securing EPL wins and mid-table football.

They both have more seasoned PL players

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

What has happened to Dunk this season? We’ve been making excuses for him all season about playing in a back 3 but he’s in a back 4 tonight and he’s been even worse.

Taking Burn aside, Dunk has been our poorest CB this season after being outstanding in our previous premier league seasons. Can’t work it out.

 

[Durlston]

Eh?

So where do you think we should be in the league?

Making progress. Improving each season. We're clearly not. It's alarming that Potter's on such a long contract.

 

[Washie]

wasn't it against leicester where the gold thread comes from? We drew 3-3 that day?

 

[Sheebo]

I’m gonna log off NSC with these words - take it on the chin and support the club / manager / players - tonight has been shit but it’s just one game, and overall this season we’ve been good overall. More import at things to get you down than one game of football. Up the Albion - see you Tuesday.

 

[Icy Gull]

Are we playing THAT badly?

Last 15, I agree. But Rogers outthought Potter and quickly realised that Burn is weak.

Thought we were good for 25-30 mins.

Poor goalkeeping and Burn who is struggling

And Schmeichal making outrageous saves that Ryan very seldom does when we need him to keep us in the game.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Why didn't GP drop Solly in to support Burn. It was so obvious, so early.

 

[banjo]

I’m still hiding behind the sofa, let me know when it’s safe to come out.

 

[trueblue]

This is the biggest problem we have IMO. “We’re just glad to be here”. 16tn or 17th in perpetuity? I’d rather spend my Saturdays taking my daughter and wife shopping. Deliver on the top ten promise or **** off.

Really? If we can play attractive football and stay up each season, that’s a pretty good outcome in the Premier League.

 

[GT49er]

Which one is genuinely good enough to come in at PL level consistently if ropey Ryan broke his leg?

None of them right now.

High hopes for Sanchez, but he's not ready, Walton and Steele are not good enough imho.

Agree about Walton and Steele - but Sanchez is, I think, ready. Full of confidence, as shown by his performance against Spurs and for the U23s (and yes, that does count). Right now he's got to be a better bet than the out of form Ryan, plus he is half a foot taller and loves to dominate his area.

Playing Ryan now and not bringing Sanchez in is a classic case of 'if something's not working, keep doing the same thing, it might work eventually' (only it won't).

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Too much standing around, absolutely no movement or creativity.

I expect changes at HT this cannot go on.

Alzate of Mac on now

Blaming potter is completely correct, but he can't make Ryan save or burn be half decent ,time to drop both of them

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Would anyone here be tempted to go for untested Gerrad at this level ?

 

[August West]

This is embarrassing, I’m going to claim my ST refund tomorrow after all...

 

[TottonSeagull]

Some very angry fans today. I’m there too, this has been awful. Let’s offer some balance though for our own sanity.

Still haven’t been in the bottom 3 this season. Or ever under Potter.

Playing stats are excellent. We’ve transitioned form a side playing very poor football to genuinely good football. Next step is converting chances and results.

We are playing an excellent Leicester side who are 1 point off 1st with a win. No shame in losing away to them.

Dear oh dear, some apologist will still be defending this dross when we are rooted to 19th place!

Wake and smell the coffee! We have given Leicester 2 goals! Strange selection tonight from a guy that is clearly out of his depth!
