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

Just back, simply magnifico bar Dunk incident, more injuries.........

 

[Guinness Boy]

Also just in the door.

Absolutely cracking away day. One of those where it had the potential to go south, what with the trains being up the spout and the ref being so awful, but actually one where the pubs and laughs / banter were top quality, the game was incredibly entertaining and we showed BALLS. Big balls.

Good ground too, way preferable to a soulless bowl like Southampton or Leicester.

Then you could argue he was spot on, then!

Obviously he was spot on, that's not the point. The point is whether he should be honest about how shit our refs are.

 

[Triggaaar]

Is there a clip of our denied penalty shout somewhere? It wasn't on MOTD. I've also not seen a good video of their penalty.

Wrong Dear Friend, were won

There's only ever been that one clip/ angle shown for their penalty. From looking at it, it looks like a clumsy coming together, rather than an actual "deliberate " foul, whereas ours was a clear, if soft pullback. I know a foul doesn't have to be deliberate to be given.
Taylor was perfectly placed to give ours, but potentially unsighted on theirs, or following the ball, rather than the runs, so couldn't tell. As the VAR called him over, I suspect there is an element of VAR deciding for "consistency" they should get Taylor to award a penalty. Once he was called over, he was never going to change his mind, which is why Dunk was so stupid.

Brighton fans singing "he's shit every week......" Forest fans signing "Anthony Taylor is a c**t"

Both sets of fans thought he was rubbish

Post match interview, it’s Cooper moaning about the ref? I wonder if he’ll get a warning?

Michael Dawson was covering our game on Soccer Saturday, and whilst Taylor was checking, he replayed it a couple of times, saying he thought it was a coming together.

Right, but didn't we have a penalty shout that was turned down - or have I imagined that?

Struggling to remember it if honest. But it was a batshit game.

Even though we lost our on loan Barcelona striker, we still scored three goals and all from our other strikers.

None of that would have happened a few years ago.

I thought the other day "we lost our Argentinian international midfielder over the summer but the new striker we brought in is now a Brazilian international".

It's just like the games of Championship Manager 2 I used to play when I should have been studying for my degree.

It’s interesting to read from the opposition point of view. Yeah they were pretty complimentary.

 

[de la zouch]

I was watching from the Forest end, they were universally complimentary about JPVH

 

[Man of Harveys]

I don’t mean to be at all unkind but you can’t blame De Zerbi for sprinting away like that instead of having to look at Steve Cooper’s FACE at the end. I’d run a mile myself.

Very reasonable posts in the main, apart from the two homophobic ones, of course.

Great interview. I love the 'we have a saying in England, people in glass houses'

It is a really good interview.

Interesting he brought up the medical department when asked about the injuries. I wonder if there is an issue there in his mind?

Purely speculation on my part and obviously lots of clubs have injury problems at the moment but the club has progressed at such a rate in recent years, has that part of the club kept up the same progress? As I say, speculation on my part and as I’ve said before I just think players are playing too much football at an intense level but I wondered why he brought that up out of nowhere.

JPVH is well ahead of Webster now, even without Webster's continual injuries. Webbie's forte seems to be galloping forward with the ball until he loses possession or manages to find a teammate. That doesn't really fit de Zerbi's style and he's also physically weaker than Van Hecke, who is going to be absolutely top-class.
