[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[BN41Albion]

I'm blaming the league for making us cram so many games into the final weeks, when we could have easily played some earlier in the season. They have ****ed us every which way.

Yep - weeks passed by where we could have caught up a game or two

 

[Steve in Japan]

Enjoying the measured words from Mr Hughton, good to see him on. One of the good guys.

A crap line up. Team looks weak. Can't understand why so many of our better players are on the bench. Madness? Hopefully not.

 

[Zeberdi]

Was weird that wasn't it? Definitely happened.
Edit. It was a worry for me that. A player of his intelligence and experience. Seemed like him saying 'this kid isn't ready'.

It may have been on instruction from RDZ to keep the pressure off the lad a bit - don’t forget he was starting by virtue of March‘s hamstring - I’m sure everyone involves accepts subbing March is a tough ask for the lad - still think he’s stepping up - give him a few more games - RDZ, Mackie and Dunk have spoken very highly about him in recent weeks.

Howe smillng away as though he feels with our line up Newcastle have won already

Because they need a rest, what's the point in starting players that are only 80% and then risk injuring them?

 

[GrossTurn]

Smug looking about as smug as it’s possible to look.

Why no sign of Colwill?

Not fond of the Undav/Welbeck combination though. Oh well, up the Albion!

 

[Mike Small]

Some negativity on here. Think Burn may find Buonaotte tricky. Undav and Welbeck have to show better than againsgt Everton where where they were dire and they will. It's good MacCallister and Enciso will start with Southampton which is worth the same as tonight.

Come on lads. Set pieces are a worry and could do with Steele claiming some. Come on lads. Lets do these Saudi barcodes.

Not felt this nervous about a game for ages

Combined to score the second against Arsenal.

Combined to score the second against Arsenal.

Let's hope they do it again then!

Off on the basis of the first 10 mins this will be a long evening, at least our GD is more than healthy.

 

[pb21]

All over us

 

[Change at Barnham]

I currently have a sense of foreboding.

 

[Bodian]

At the Amex we battered them - ended up 0-0. I think I'll be relieved if the opposite happens - feels like we'll be lucky not to concede.

 

[A1X]

This is horrible

 

[WhingForPresident]

Don't think this is going to end well for us today...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We look awful.

 

[Bodian]

Good shot on his own goal from Caicedo!
