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

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Not that it matters one jot but how is that not handball? I thought the rule was irrespective of any intention if a handball leads to a goal it should be ruled out. He's handballed it twice to lay it up for his mate

Read the laws of the game to know why

 

[BadFish]

We are the perfect team for Forest to play. Attacking with little end product so they can soak it up and hit us on the counter.
I fear a big score against us today after that start.

I didn't mean it!!!

I mean, I noticed this pretty early on and I am a f***ing idiot. Someone surely must have considered this.

 

[RandyWanger]

Did we replace the set pieces coach? Genuinely doesn’t look like it

 

[A mex eyecan]

Hopefully they get a couple more to make sure he’s gone.

never every thought I’d feel that way about Brighton, but this with bloody bells on.

 

[Ethelwulf]

It's always going to be difficult when a goal that should have been ruled out for handball inexplicably isn't and a penalty which should never have been given inexplicably is

FFS mate it’s 7-0 not 1-0 it’s indefensible

 

[SeaGullBum]

Hope the players go over to the away fans and apologise, as does FH.

If they all fk off down the tunnel I'll be livid.

 

[NorthLainer]

We're into brackets and words on the vidiprinter territory now!!!!

You may as well be saying Bloom and Barber out as well - Hurzeler is doing what he's told. Trying to play possession football every game to try and develop players. Results (after securing Prem football next season) are not a priority for the club no matter what they say in public.

The worst error was not strengthening the defence. Far too many midfielders signed.

At right back, we have Veltman and Hinshelwood. Kadioglu and Lamptey for cover.
At centre back we have Dunk, Van Hecke, Igor and Webster who've all mostly still been fine. Veltman can play ether too.
At left back, Pervis, Kadioglu, Hinshelwood and Lamptey as cover.
Sure, we could do with a couple of defenders but the recruitment is still pretty good.
You can guarantee there are experienced bosses who would kill to have a squad with the talent we've got in the Premier League and work at a club with fairly realistic expectations where they get the chance to plan and build.

 

[Hamilton]

We are all over the place!

 

[southstandandy]

Glad this one isn't on TV - oh hang on..........

 

[macbeth]

really don’t see how he recovers from this

 

[El Turi]

When was the last time we lost by this much? I don’t remember a defeat this heavy in the 30 years I’ve supported Brighton.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Bet hoopers loving this! Blow the whistle FFS

 

[SeaGullBum]

This is a Sheffield United Prem league level performance from us, it's harrowing.

 

[A1X]

FFS mate it’s 7-0 not 1-0 it’s indefensible

Not defending anything, just making a point

 

[oldboyroy]

This is the worst we've been in a long time. A long, long time.

We can't defend. We can't score. We've got no style. Players like Enciso and Ferguson don't seem to want to be here.

We're cooked.

Bloom has to make the move. He has to.

And, look how forest are still going for more, full of energy and running.

 

[METALMICKY]

Gomez is also short on game time too and no one on here seems to rate O'Riley until things started going pear-shaped, then we all knew he should have started

But it's still the safer more conservative option irrespective of opinions on Gomez and O'Riley. Hinsh in that formation was suicidal

It's always going to be difficult when a goal that should have been ruled out for handball inexplicably isn't and a penalty which should never have been given inexplicably is

Why should the pen not be given? It was a foul in the box. The handball was goal no, what, 7? I can’t even be bothered to care about it. We haven’t turned up at all. Again,
