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

[Kalimantan Gull]

That was really quite disappointing. Obviously have no right to beat Norwich and Mapuay should have had a penalty and a goal. We didn't look confident going forward and didn't create as many as last season. Centre backs passing was poor and never moved into space with the ball meaning the midfielders had 11 men in front of them by the time they got the ball. Gross and Moder offered virtually nothing going forwards. Maupay really poor. We are over reliant on Trossard to do something. Shame as 3 points were there for the taking. Norwich would have felt, pick 3 centre backs and we could be ok. Maybe catch them on the break. Nearly worked. Burn can't start next games. Good squad player but ponderous to the extreme.

Anyway trying to focus on the fact that we are good enough to beat City next weekend and we won't have to be caring about the bottom 3 results which is real progress.

Are you kidding on Burn? He played as a centre back today and his covering and tackling were superb, what more do you want from a CB? To then add to that his ball carrying, control and passing, at a level I think only Ben White has performed better at out of all Brighton CBs, I can only conclude you have something against him

Very dull, pedestrian, and I think a draw was good all round for both sides. Maupay missing a gilt-edged chance summed it up. Could've played another hour and neither side have the quality to score.

I predicted a draw, but those points we got on the board early have really taken the pressure off, going into a run of games where we'll be lucky to get a point from the next 3/4.

Lamptey strangely subdued after coming on, doesn't look at all fit or ready to me. Some cynical dark arts defending whenever we got countered on, especially towards the end. Duffy finally got his yellow card after three identical professional fouls in the second half alone.

My MOTM was Burn, who was immense today.

MOTD might not even show that game.

The disdain will be PALPABLE

I'm still trying to work out when you became such a miserable bloke, I have recollection of you being a decent poster but maybe that's just the rose tinted spectacles of nostalgia. Ah well, carry on.

I think when he became Scottish (joke)!

There seems to be a blizzard of self entitled whinging on here. Odd.

 

[Justice]

God help us if we play like that next week. With the play constantly slowing up around the box again, March doing is usual pass behind everyone in the box and Maupay missing sitters probably a good point.

I had that too. Liked the commentator’s mention of Christian Gross at one point, wasn’t aware we’d signed the ex-Spurs manager as a 67-year old midfielder…

I don't force you or anyone else to read my posts, you massive helmet. Put them on ignore. I am sick of you using my posts as a reason to spam this board to raise your postcount.

Oh, and it was a terrible result, especially with the fixtures coming up. Stupid licker. You go and get some weed, it makes you content with being bored, so may actually be of some beneficial use to you.

One decent game every three Trossard you mean

You obviously haven’t been watching this season so far…….

And so the Dan Burn Marmite saga rolls on, he's either MoTM or not worth a place in the starting line up - you decide.

Actually, no you don't, Graham Potter does, and continues to play him!

How some are dissing bdb today I don't know. Yes he got caught in possession which led to Norwich's best chance but 2 goal saving tackles kept us in the game. Overall we could of won, were the better side but far too many mistakes which against better teams we would of been punished by. Norwich fought like hell and deserved the point too. As others have said last season Sheffield United/ West Brom we would of lost so without playing well we've still got a point and unbeaten away so far.

And we live in times of division, ridicule and bile - Where's Elton John and his ****ing Circle of Life when you want him?

Disagree, he made some good last ditch challenges but also some very sloppy errors, seems to dwell on the ball at times. Would definitely play him in the starting XI at present but would expect him to be out of the team once Webster is fit.

Chin up, a point away in this division is fine really. If it wasn't Norwich everyone would be happy enough, but Norwich won't be as shit all season as they started off.

completely agree. It's more during these kind of games that I find so frustrating - and tiresome cos it's happened so much to us over recent seasons.

But as it stands with the position we're in - can't complain. Just hope it doesn't become the most predominant factor of our season again like last!

As I said, I don't force you to read them. If you're really that sensitive and they bother you, block them.

Nobody cares. It's an Internet forum, not an English lesson.

i think that Norwich played like the away team, deep defending and tried to catch us on the counter attack , which almost worked three times. Thankfully their attack is shite. Next 2 games very interesting We beat both Man C and Liverpool in the respective fixtures last year and neither was a fluke. Dont assume we will automatically lose both matches.
