[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion **** Official Match Day Thread ****

[Acker79]

The problem with JFC is that when we had poor runs under Gus there were plenty on here calling for him to get game time, as if he would be the saviour who would turn our team around, like he would be better than the established players we had in the team.

Now he is getting match time he is being shown to be a ordinary footballer.

Some of those who had high hopes resent his failure to live up to their hype so are extra critical, some of those who were fed up with the hype are now eager to enjoy his faults because the hype was quite irritating. They are mainly the ones constantly criticising him.

They are joined by some people who criticise him when they feel it is justified.

There are also those who had high hopes before who still feel he can live up to their hype if the circumstances are right, if he is played in certain positions in certain systems, who will blindly defend him, and they are joined by people who defend him when they feel the criticism is unfair.

I don't believe he can live up to some of the hype he initially received, at least not with us. Maybe moving out of his comfort zone and moving away might give him the chance to improve a bit more.

But I don't believe he is always worthy of the criticism that he gets.

Having said that, his set pieces are almost always awful.

We look clueless

That comment says far more about you than it does about the team

 

[nwgull]

I'm watching a good stream and I don't agree with him either.

Another vote against the 'we look clueless' from me. Decent so far against a very good team.

 

[Machiavelli]

Dunk superb so far

He really is. He made a mistake in the first half, when he gave the ball away in a dangerous position. We have to accept that he will make the odd mistake -- after all, he's a FLAIR centre half -- but we're not missing Upson, and that's saying something.

If we played like this in the 1st half against Blackpool we would have got 3 points!.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'd like to see Teixeira come on now to get the winner.

 

[patchamalbion]

Must say, it seems a pretty low turnout of BHA fans at the game..

Our away support seems to be dwindling recently! Very surprised we've taken less than 1000

Yes. Tex for Colunga

 

[nwgull]

Chicksen is better than Bennett.

 

[Seagull1989]

Awful Cross Bennett. should have been a goal

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bennett!!

 

[samtheseagull]

Poor from benett

Two away games in a week, one of which was a new ground, is bound to take it's toll.

absolute rubbish.

Me too.
Got a tenner on that @ 11/1

Last year we took over 1900 (sellout), the year before we took 2771. Tells a story...

 

[nwgull]

absolute rubbish.

Overeaction from me, but that should've been rolled across for CMS to tap in.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

all over them now

The final game of the season is always going to sell out. The year before had a lot more riding on the result.

fair enough!
