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

[Seagull58]

In my mind it should have been a 3-2 win to the Albion. I don't know why suddenly Solly is screwing up his chances more often than not but he absolutely had an easy goal set up by Mitoma and fumbled it royally.

And of course that was easily a penalty that should have been awarded for Welbeck being taken down in the box.

His standing foot slipped, just like Mitrovic' penalty last week. Unfortunate.

Thought JP was a massive weak link. Had the turning circle of Maguire unfortunately and just didn't look premier ready. Preferred to have had Veltman in there. Mitoma fantastic as always, Solly good albeit the miss and Ferguson needs to start. Welbeck should've got the shot off earlier before the pen call. Decent point from being down...

were loose

Wrong Dear friend, were drew

 

[Insel affe]

we do need to wean ourselves off his influence though. also prefer Veltman at right back

I understand your point, but don’t, without being argumentative…

why do we need to wean ourselves off possibly the most influential player, who is playing some fantastic football at the moment, surely you need to keep him in squad.

Was the Welbeck foul in the 2nd half a foul and a pen, or outside the box, or no foul.

Looked like a penalty from the away end, and I let the ref know as much, but what was it actually?

 

[Icy Gull]

I had Glenn Murray as the co Commentator. He annoyed the hell of me with his unbiased balanced comments. Every time we have an ex opposition commentator he is always on his old clubs side

 

[Oh_aye]

Happy with a point in the end. Main gripes and easy with hindsight are Veltman shouldn't be on the bench while we put kids in. And in the other direction, Ferguson just looks ready. Think we need to reverse the running order and play him and bring wellbeck on as special teams player towards the end.

Draw

what does Chris know.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Still took a point against a rejuvenated Leicester side.

Did have the rub if the green but we didn’t lose and up to 6th.

Battler to the end and didn’t give up, some perspective needed

Just because he's 35 really. We need to be able to replace that.

 

[Flagship]

Thought we were a bit slow today and more than a little complacent. Happy with a point in the end.
There was more like a Potter style about us.

 

[Weststander]

Feels like a win at the bookies

Did yours come home?

 

[pb21]

Two defensive 'mistakes' cost us the game I think. Leicester were essentially useless for the most part but capitalised when they could.

We weren't great, but easily the better side.

Mitoma excellent, everyone else OK. Ferguson is very promising.

Oh, and ref seemed to be a Leicester supporter?

 

[GT49er]

Any player earning five bookings from their side's first 19 Premier League matches will serve a one-match ban in the same competition. Yellow cards are not carried over to the EFL Cup or FA Cup.

Shame that wan't the case back in 1983 then!

 

[Seagull58]

Correct decision for the penalty I think - no contact.

Definite penalty. He caught his toes

I thought Leicester battled more than us and we lost too many 50/50s and too many, not that difficult, passes went astray. Not a great performance but we kept going and I was happy to get a point.

Maddison is a whinging wanker

 

[LamieRobertson]

what does Chris know.

law of averages ..he has to get one right

 

[barbus_max bhafc]

Happy with the point - we move on to Bournemouth in a couple of weeks - big game then as we will need the 3 points to maintain our top 7 challenge

 

[Normandy seagull]

Happy with a point today- at least we didn't lose! Too many players not quite up to their usual standards- March, JP, Gross, Mac, Welbz etc. Got to begrudingly give Leicester and that smug git Rodgers some credit for stifling us. One other point- Vardy really is a rat faced little shitbag isn't he
