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

[oldboyroy]

It's a competition that would be fantastic to win for us, gutted to lose on pens

 

[One Love]

Best penalty record in the team

He's never looked confident taking one ever.

He just hits and hopes. By the law of averages he scores some of them.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Best penalty record in the team

Really? Im sure you’ve done your homework but it feels like he misses more than he scores.

 

[Weststander]

Who cares? Rubbish trophy anyway. We did well to equalise but Steele and Conolly were shite, Steele more so. Main concern now is the weekend where hopefully Biss can make another appearance and Neal can regain some confidence because we are really going to struggle if we have another goal drought from him like last season

Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham care. A chance of precious silverware.

 

[WhingForPresident]

They probably don’t but imagine if Sanchez got injured playing in the League Cup….

Fair point.

 

[Washie]

Has Maupay really only missed 3?!

Feels like more than that, I guess since he rarely hits a convincing one.

He has missed 4. He missed one in the shootout against Newport.

 

[Wellesley]

Five games without a win but Biss is back and Lamptey is back to his ridiculous best. We're gonna win the league.

 

[Silverhatch]

Better side but no cutting edge.

Dreadful penalties. Utterly predictable from us. Plucky comeback after gifting goals only to ‘gloriously’ fail yet again. Why we enter the League cup I don’t know. Someone should pop down to HQ and show them our record. We could get special dispensation because there’s no point based on factual evidence.

Dreadful - macs penalty was about as good as you get hard and in the corner. Two penalties we not so good, Maupay hit it too hard and Mwepus was just a passback - he really looked like he didn't want to take it

 

[TottonSeagull]

To be fair a decent performance seeing as we had Steele, Locardia and Connelly in the same team. If we had decent replacements for them we would have won that!

 

[BN41Albion]

I really don't see the point in Steele playing in cup games. He is a League One standard keeper at the end of his career, it's absolutely bizarre. Do keepers really need a 'rest'?

Its not resting the first team keeper though, it's giving the second choice keeper game time to stay more match sharp. I worry about our second choice keeper actually having to cover Sanchez in the league though...

What’s the qualifying criteria? MacAllister has a 100% conversion rate, no?

 

[Dave the hatosaurus]

Disappointing result in the end just hope Mwepu and Sarmiento don't take it too much to heart as i think they both will have a part to play in the rest of the season !
Looked very good in second half but unfortunately chances went begging ( dare i say again ! ) .Should not have even gone to a shootout .

 

[lawros left foot]

Oh well, back to calling it the Mickey Mouse Cup for another season.

 

[Deadly Danson]

The absolute state of some of the comments on here. Same old posters LOVE it when we lose. It's so odd.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Leicester, Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham care. A chance of precious silverware.

To be fair Potter cared as shown by his subs . the problem we have is locadia avoids being a striker by not getting in the box leaving Connolly who I will now accept looks out of his depth. With what we have now time to bring in Tolaj and/or Ferguson.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Where is it being televised?

Leicester.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Let's stay positive chaps. Played a so called top 6 team and , apart from the first 15 minutes, we outplayed them. Sarmiento a big +, Enoch looks like he is getting the hang of it and the really big plus was seeing Biss boss the midfield.

Onwards and upwards.....etc etc

50% in other words. And a keeper that got no where near any. Dreadful in other words. Spin those rose tints how you like but that was a shit shootout.
