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

[kevo]

I think the score really flatters Forest. If we could get one back before ht, game on

Not really. They could easily have scored 4 or 5. We've hit the bar and that's it.

I hope you are still trusting the process US.

Der Prozess ist Scheiße

 

[Southern Scouse]

Seeing the team sheet it was going to be 5-0 or 4-5. Doesn’t look great so far, Although at present they are a top team. Need a goal….

I can only assume the people blowing smoke up RdZ’s arse weren’t watching that Fulham game about this time last year

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

We used to be so good in instantly changing defence into a Counter-attack.

We're lost our get up and go, players look lazy af, nobody wants to run.

Under De-Zerbi we we're monsters, we could press, run all game now we look pathetic.

The fight's gone.

So sluggish and slow.

Does this include his 100% relegation form in the second half of last season?

 

[Washie]

We're unlucky with injuries at left-back. We have Estupinan, Kadioglu and cover from Hinshelwood and Lamptey. There's not too much wrong with the squad. There's a lot wrong with the lack of a workable plan or organisation. In my view, it's mainly because we have so many good individual talents that we've picked up some decent results - we've rarely put a good move together.

How do central midfielders like O'Riley and Gomez feel when they can't get a game in this sickness crisis with a forward playing instead? How have we managed to ostracise a talent like Enciso so quickly with Ferguson potentially going the same way? What happened to the same players that were so confident and calm playing out from the back under Potter and De Zerbi but now play kick and rush?

Estupinian has been poor since the start of last season. Hinshelwood is a right footed midfielder who can play right-back and CANNOT play left back as we have seen before. Lamptey is a poor right back at the best of times. But the main thing about nearly all 4 of those players? They're attacking players.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Jao pedro is just strolling about in midfield. Waste of a shirt

We are so static when attacking, same as last week

I agree. Pedro seems to have been waiting for things to happen rather than making them happen in the last few games.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Useless Mother****ers.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Not completely sold on the manager, but the defence have shafted him today. Absolutely pathetic from the lot of them.

Poor line-up but without Ayari and Baleba, he was forced to do something different, he just got it very wrong.

BUT

Forest win 100% of the 50/50s in and around their box.

After reclaiming possession, they seem to hit an attacking player on the break 100% of the time too.

They are a brilliant team.

I can only assume the people blowing smoke up RdZ’s arse weren’t watching that Fulham game about this time last year

Or the Luton game, or the Villa game....

 

[SeaGullBum]

We try to take part in games against the "big six" and usually give a good account of ourselves.

Yet against other teams we've just given up at kick off.

No idea what Fabian is saying to them week in week out.

 

[portslade seagull]

Another poxy corner kick. Do we actually practise them

 

[Normandy seagull]

If we needed a reminder that things have gone badly wrong, today is a reminder. Poor inexperienced Manager in charge, poor recruitment- always taking the cheap option and hoping they develop into a baller. The replacements for Jewell, Winstanley etc are crap. Good job we’ve got as many points as we have! No consistency what so ever

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Not really. They could easily have scored 4 or 5. We've hit the bar and that's it.

0.97xg v 0.6. If we hadn't defended like pricks from the 10th minute we'd be in this. Dunk is finished at this level.

 

[Blue3]

We are being torn to shreds every attack they look like scoring and it’s not that we are not creating our own chances but we are not doing the basics, Lampity looks very good going forward but is found wanting in defence, the Gibbs-White goal from corner who thought marking two Forest players with one Brighton was a good idea. We need a bit more bite in midfield and a bit more help in defence at 3-0 it’s probably over but get an early second half goal and we Might just might in all honesty I think I am kidding myself

 

[RandyWanger]

Fab talking about consistency and he’s delivering it. Consistently shit

 

[Durlston]

Albion are the most pathetic team in all of football.

Manure may beg to differ on that one at the moment.

 

[Albion my Albion]

If you don’t mind me saying, I think that is a tad overreaction.

It was meant to be facetious.

 

[Washie]

Another poxy corner kick. Do we actually practise them

We don't sign players who can cross the ball. We also don't sign players who can head the ball.

 

[BadFish]

I'd bring on Barco.
