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

You obviously werent watching the match either there or on a stream.

You obviously have missed the long running debate over CMS. Everyone knows he can run around for 6 days without stopping for water, but what he can't do is kick the ball into the goal. Personally I'd prefer it if he stood still but could poach a goal ever now and then.

With that man from Argentina we'd have 3 points, but we looked pretty toothless. A good performance though. Be interesting to see what Pearce has to say, as we totally dominated the 2nd half.

Its no good scraping 0-0 draws with the squad we've got available. We need a striker and other players who can score when we attack. If the goals don't go in and we can't pick up the points it won't be long before other teams see us as easy pickings. With the quality of sides in The Championship we could find ourselves struggling in the bottom 6.

We are all DOOMED. We only got a draw at the unbeaten league leaders.......let's all dig in for the relegation battle!!

He's gone pal and that makes it ifs and buts right?

Wrong BG, but nothing new there.

He had a good game, end of story.

Righto

Watched the stream and a 100% effort from the team, we're getting there. Sami has a nail biting problem that he needs to cure before he has no fingers left.

May have been because I wasn't listening properly, but sounded like LuaLua played a bit wider today, the midfield didn't have to cover the full backs as much and were allowed to get forward more.

 

[TottonSeagull]

I was watching on a stream. It doesn't matter how far or fast you run or how you unsettle a defence if you can't stay onside and can't shoot from just a few yards.

Agree with this! As much as I love his enthusiasm he needs to look along the line a take the one or two chances that comes his way. Sadly I just don't think he is up to this division. Would love to be proved wrong though!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Perhaps we should ask Albions' goalscorer at Burton who slipped in front of the defender to hit the ball on a volley to secure the win on Wednesday to give him a few tips.

That's putting a positive spin on it to say the least. We were 2-0 up and cruising when the ball made its way in either from CMS's boot or the defenders head, he didn't even celebrate it, which says a lot.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think it is a case of the players becoming used to the system more and adapting to it.

 

[samtheseagull]

imagine if we had of lost today

Yeah, need a goal scorer being my point.

What was the story with Baldock today? Same old CMS huffed, puffed, put himself about but ultimately did nothing. He wasn't aware he was offside when he missed that sitter at the end was he?

Bit like Baldock last week then ..only u get more huff and puff from CMS who at least got himself into the right areas

He's paid good money to score goals, he doesn't. End of.

I don't think we spent ridiculous money on him to run around a bit and keep the fans happy did we? He is not good enough for a top end Championship team, I can not believe that this far into his time with us people don't see that.

Great result for the Albion!! We have improved 100% I may have been a bit hasty to give the thumbs down to Hyypia! Make no mistake Forest are a good side and will in my opinion be promoted this season!! Its still not great but there has been improvement!! Feeling optimistic now that we will at least be in a respectable league position at the end of the season!

We know CMS isn't good enough. At least we've still got some hope with Baldock!

CMS overall

It's not the end of the story is it? I only was able to watch the second half, but he was offside several times, even when he was interchanging by the touchline, just schoolboy errors. He fluffed his shots every time. And that last effort, Paddy gave him every opportunity to get it right, but he had no clue how far offside he was, and he finished it off with a shocking effort that was never going in anyway. That is not a good game.
