[Albion] Luton Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[BevBHA]

I've had more enjoyable trips to the dentist than that first half.

Wank.

That’s one way to make yourself feel better

Annoyingly I made so many jokes about Palace getting beat by Luton a couple of months ago

Undermining our opponents seems to be common.

It's pathetic, we should respect our opponents - they are in the Premier League for a reason FFS.

Undermining them would be good. Sadly, I think we underestimated them.

Putting my conspiracy hat on here I think RDZ is going to walk

Is there another way to get to the dressing room?

Anything is possible. He won't be happy

I'm not overly impressed with Bart either. Why we've created this clusterfuck when we had such a talented young keeper already I don't know.

100% agree and have been happily boring people on this topic since he left.

Apparently he fell out with RDZ - no idea what about, and probably not the hardest thing to do. But just feels odd that someone who’d been at the club for years and years suddenly had a face that didn’t fit. Good luck to him - I reckon he’ll go on to have a great career and win plenty of honours.

Bring on Evan and Lamptey. Back four, lamprey and João Pedro on the wings and return to our preferred formation to give it a crack at least.

Even if he was at his best, which he isn't, putting on another miniature footballer won't help us in this match.

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

I always find the knee jerking quite entertaining. Much better where we were 10 years ago….

No midfield or wingers
no strength or power in midfield
no pace on the wings
keeper not up to scratch

In the pre match presser we TALK as if we respect the lower table teams, but the results show that maybe we don't prepare that way... tactically, physically, mentally.

Sanchez needed to be taking out of the firing line for a bit and his reported behaviour (in refusing to sit on the bench) didn’t help the situation at all. Regardless of anything else, when you refuse to sit on the bench then you’re going to out of the door sharpish.

Haven't we been through this? He did sit on the bench for a couple of months. Then he got his place back when Steele was injured, was excellent as we beat Chelsea away and then kept a clean sheet over 120 minutes in the cup semi final. And then was dropped again as RDZ made it clear he preferred Steeles feet. If I was Sanchez I would have fallen out with my manager at that point.

RDZ made his decision and everything followed from that, I just think it was a poor, poor decision.

I'm starting to be okay with thay

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

What about centre midfield where most games are won or lost? Do you rate ours or Luton’s tonight?

Its exactly where it’s won and lost and the reason we’re far behind where we were last season IMO. Let’s be honest, Gross and Gilmour are miles and miles off Caicedo and Mac Allister.

 

[Mellotron]

I can’t quite believe I’m asking, but does anyone have a properly working stream?

Tried vipbox but it kept cutting out.

 

[nsclurker]

Unlike us to concede a sloppy goal just before half time.

Yeah, it's usually two

To make you more paranoid, I bet he’s already told the players which is why they are distracted.

 

[fruitnveg]

Annoyingly I made so many jokes about Palace getting beat by Luton a couple of months ago

So its your fault!

 

[hart's shirt]

The best bit about the 1st half is that we're not in Luton watching it.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Van Hecke at RB doesn't work, he looks like a tug boat trying to turn and Igor's positioning is League One at best. Shocking lineup and can't even blame match congestion after the winter break. Just hoping this puts some fire in the players for Saturday

 

[raymondo]

It'll be a lot calmer than here.
