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

[BHA Fan93]

Sorry but where does the mentality quote fit in to having a bad day at the office when you’re earning £50,000 a week as a football player. I’m an ex prison officer who was on £30,000 a year and the mental side of that was far more taxing than what you’re suggesting for a pro footballer.

Obviously completely different sides mentally. Your point here is completely invalid and makes you look like a tit.

Champions League chance gone now.

But we still have a chance of Europe if we can get over Solly’s penalty miss.

No chance they are all knackered apparently

 

[oldboyroy]

Champions league dream over, let's hope we can keep going for a Europa league spot

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

The usual story against teams that defend deep. We don’t have enough up front to break teams like that down. But that second Forest goal was a disaster. Dunk didn’t need to make the pass, he put Caicedo under pressure, and Colwill was wrong-footed.

 

[andys320]

Well played Forest.

I thought we looked tired, Caceido especially, but lets not make excuses, Forest executed their game plan brilliantly.

Sometimes, with the way we play we'll be picked off, so be it, so much better to watch than whats gone before.

COYS.

 

[BN41Albion]

Wolves have nothing to play for... can't they just give us an easy ride and let us turn them over

Okay - I guess I meant 'deflating' (in the mind). After the combination of the Spurs fiasco, and Sunday, I felt very deflated and almost as though 'that's it then' - especially when looking at the pile up of games to come. It must have an effect on the ability to put in that extra bit of effort. Take away 5% of our normal effort - and we drop quite a lot.

The only real chance we have of Europe is if Roberto can write a song!

On the basis of tonight perhaps we're not quite ready for the CL anyway.

Don't think Caicedo was blameless either. We play a lot of passes we don't need to make - Caicedo simply wasn't switched on.

 

[Weststander]

Need to get back to the Amex and pray Ferguson gets fit.

Thank God for Betfair overrating low budget us, with silly odds.

 

[chickens]

Don’t begrudge Forest this, they were better on the night. We did look tired in the second half, though loved the way Mitoma and March kept running throughout.

A forgivable lapse from our usual high standards, and no lack of effort on our part, but a slight mental and physical fatigue. Forest played this like a cup final and deserved the win.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Think their equaliser killed us. We had taken control and had several opportunities to win the ball before the deflection.

 

[Dick Head]

Forrest fully deserved it tonight, very leggy performance after 120 minutes only 3 days ago at Wembley. Can’t play to the best every game, poor performance but some of the chat going on in here is border line ridiculous! We bounce back and go again Saturday. Up the Albion.

Only one tit commenting on mentality and that’s you old kiddie.

No we will be tired after playing on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday

And you never had a day at work where you were not your best? What you earn is irrelevant, if you put your heart into something and it doesn't come off, it knocks you a bit.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

It really is a strength in depth job when the games come thick and fast. As much as a I’d love a trip abroad, I’m asking myself ‘Europe, really?’

 

[clapham_gull]

Not nI’m sorry but am I the only one who thinks working a hard shift in Sunday excuses you for a poor shift on Wednesday. I’m knocking on 60 and been labouring for the past three days. Got to put the same heavy shift in again tomorrow. Yeah I know I’m gonna get some abuse but just putting it out there.

Not abuse, but worth pointing about the false equivalence.

However hard you work, you can't draw
parallels between normal work and elite athletes in a competitive sport.

For a start you aren't competing with others doing the same at the same time

That said of course, you clearly work bloody hard and footballers are paid far too much for their version of "work".

 

[BBassic]

Terrible game.

Are we ready for Europe? Given how knackered we look I don't think we could handle the additional games. Not without some squad depth.
