[Albion] Norwich - Time To Get Our Mojo Back

[nicko31]

Pitiful state of affairs that the club's season-defining game rests on somehow trying to scrape a win against Norwich f*cking City

If we win all will be forgotten and Europe is back on. Loose and we're doomed to be playing MK Dons next season

Yep, the good old NSC extremes. Common sense is one attribute this site has never been too good at.

But would we take 7k up there , especially if Mr Potter remains in charge ?

A draw seems the most probable outcome, but I just can't bare the thought of a 7th loss in a row. Especially given the 3 matches to follow. Have we ever lost 10 on the trot?

As she is now is what l meant!

Yes! In 1972/73 season we were in the old Division 2. We lost 13(!!) consecutive games including an FA Cup tie. We then won against Luton and then lost another 2. Um, we were relegated that year.

We will be up for this one, I predict the crowd will be lively. The team needs to follow suit. If I were Potter, as a one off for this game, I’d actually turn us round if we win the toss and attack the north first half. Show absolute intent from the first minute, go for the momentum, the crowd WILL keep that going if the team do. Get into them,**** them up.
Start 11 players who can provide ENERGY, that means no Gross and no Duffy.

However there is a real danger that the crowd will turn if at 0-0 we start playing across the back with no real purpose. Does anyone know if Webster is back training?

We're joint bottom of the PL form table with Norwich although we are just above them on a more favourable negative goal difference. We have both lost the last 6 games. We're crap and they're crap the only real difference being that they've been crap all season and we started well until Saudi FC came calling and Villa tapped up Bissouma. We won't win (see our home record) and they won't win (see their record) so a nerve-bitingly tense, appalling game of football beckons with a 1-1 draw the likely outcome. Or we'll win 6-0.

1-1? We're going to score??

1 - 1

Feels very much like the HUddersfield game a few years back. Same result would be fine thanks. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47340492

Can't happen, Andone won't be playing.

The last time I saw us play Norwich was at the Withdean in 2002. We lost 2-0, and the most memorable part of the match was the Norwich fans singing "we shoot burglars" because the Tony Martin case was in the news. I took my girlfriend of the time to her first ever - and probably only ever - Brighton game for that match, and we split up days after which may or may not be related. Hoping for a better outcome this weekend!

I fear a 1 nil defeat with Norwich scoring from a scuffed deflected shot from their only attack and albion ballooning 10 shots at open goals over the bar.

Funnily enough I had a dream last night which was very nearly this scenario. Instead of a scuffed shot they scored from a cross coming in deep from the left, it flew straight in to the top right hand corner.
We huffed and puffed but the game fizzled out.

I got a video message from Bobby Z for my 40th birthday where he told me he loves me so my Albion Mojo is well and truly back!

The midfielders are going to step up - 3.0 to the good guys - Moder x 2, Mwepu.

Hardly imaginative is it?

Under Jeff Wood, wasn't it?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Usually within reason I’m a performance and progress over results type (within reason) but this game feels like a 1-0 win with a clearance bouncing in off our striker’s ass would be better than dominating a game in ever phase and not scoring. Chance to get a boost and then pick up some odd points against big sides or the time we slump further and get in a real rutt

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

0-0, isn't it?

Standard.
