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

[West Upper Seagull]

This is a bloody uncomfortable watch, we have been absolutely awful all over the pitch in that first half. Already feels like we’ve just got to protect our goal difference !

 

[stss30]

Undav is a shocking footballer, the two goals he’s scored recently don’t make up for the fact his first touch is woeful and diving in like that on the stroke of half time to give them a set piece is brain dead

 

[lizard]

Any beheadings at half-time?

 

[WhingForPresident]

If Undav wasn't playing it'd probably still be 0-0.

 

[oldboyroy]

Nothing against Burn celebrating like that. Its football and his celebration is more down to the shenanigans going on in penalty area delaying the free kick. Poor 1st half all round from us

 

[The Fits]

Fu*k sake, right before half time.

Need to start playing our proper 11 and get Caicedo out of RB ffs!

Get on Ali Mac, Enciso and Fergie at half time.

Part of thinks RDZ drops Ali Mac and keeps playing Caicedo at RB as he knows they are leaving.

Of course it is.
No need to protect them..he's making a point. He's a fiery guy.

 

[Dirty Dave]

Second goals really unfortunate, we were growing into it otherwise.

Were we? By having a couple of extra touches in the Newcastle half?

 

[AlexBH]

We might as well write this one off now and save ourselves for the Saints game Sunday. That’s a game we can win and should win, this one is done.

 

[AlbionBro]

Why?

Didn't you see him?

 

[The Wizard]

Don’t get me wrong the whole team have been off the pace, but that free kick give away from Undav was so utterly brainless and stupid, one of the best set piece takers in the league.

 

[Husty]

A lot of toys going out the pram tonight I see - entitled fans?

 

[Seasider78]

Completely dominated in central midfield need to get Groß at right back move Caicedo back to midfield get MacAllister on for Undav

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Just sometimes you have to change your game plan

 

[Bodian]

It’s like I’m watching a completely different team

You are with this line up.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I never really bought the “wishing Dan Burn well because he’s got his dream move” stuff.
It’s Newcastle. Dirty money. Smug Eddie.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh well. Well I was going to suggest Ali Mac, Enciso and Ferguson on for Undav, Gross and Welbeck but maybe not worth it now. We'll see.

 

[albionalex]

All very well resting players on bench but they end up needing to come on at half time anyway!

 

[DJ NOBO]

Pathetic half.

Utterly ludicrous challenge from Undav for that free kick. He’s been dreadful. Absolute waste of time playing him and Buonanotte, they’re totally out of their depth - as is JPVH.

Need changes now - Mac Allister, Ferguson and Enciso on for Gilmour, Undav and Buonanotte and swap Gross and Caicedo round. They totally dominated Gross and Gilmour in the middle.

Much like last Monday it would be 45 minutes too late.

 

[Paskman]

RDZ should have changed things on the half hour. At least 3 players not at the races unfortunately.

 

[peterward]

Games done imho.

Poor team selection is forgiveable, cant always get that right and players with injuries, fatigue etc....

standing passively as the walls crash down, and we're getting taken apart, just as with Everton is at RDZs door.

This second goal was invetibale without changing something (it couldve been 6), we didnt do anything, they scored second.

It was predictable
