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

[Flounce]

I would start tapping up McKenna now and get a handshake on it to leave Ipswich if they go down once it is a mathematical certainty to get started early for next season.

To see him f*** off to United if he’s any good, no thanks

 

[AlbionBro]

I've seen worse.

When was this?

 

[Ethelwulf]

Paul Samrah calling for fabs head and mentioned FH has lost dressing room

 

[birthofanorange]

You've seen worse? Really? When?

Countless times. since the 60's....it simply doesn't faze me. When we're good, we're good, when we're bad. we do it in style....like today.
We'll still end up in the top 10 of the Prem this season - is that awful?

 

[The Optimist]

Heaviest defeat that I recall since we lost 8-2 at the Goldstone against Bristol Rovers. I think Alan Warboys got 4!

Sorry to be a pendant but today’s defeat was heavier than the 8-2 (lost by 7 not by 6).

 

[Wozza]

No. No, I am not.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I've seen better...I've seen worse. Ho hum, shit happens. One of those matches where it simply all works for one team, yet the opposite for the other.
Do remember, Forest were thumped 5 - 0 by Muff, only last week.
It's football....

Really? Well I have been watching us for over 50 years and I am struggling to think of a worse result

Correct.

It was an interesting match.

And we move on.....

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Absolute nonsense. We don't play decent possession football any more and that's on him. The players are not being developed, and that's on him. Bloom wants us in Europe, without a doubt. They've made a mistake. With hindsight, the combination of raw young talent with a raw young manager is proving disastrous. Even a pretty average PL boss would do just as well with this squad, there's a lot of talent. What's lacking is a leader that commands respect.

100%. All our defence is good at is slowing the pace down to snail speed when we have the ball.

 

[SeaGullBum]

Honestly don't get the hype around McKenna, and like someone pointed out, we'll be a stop gap for the inevitable Amorim sacking

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Result, correct.

But I have seen us play worse at least 500 times.

You do have a point but hopefully we would get some good use out of him first.

 

[raymondo]

These injuries keep appearing after/before games. Hardly any have gone off during the game wtf is going on.

That is a good point! It's a mystery to me. Any training injuries are just plain wrong - apart from a rare accident they shouldn't be happening.

 

[southstandandy]

The 18-0 loss to Norwich in 1940.

Come on guys - it's only a game.

Need to pull our big boy pants up, have a few pints tonight and forget all about it. Never let a defeat (however large) ruin your weekend. Remember it's only a game.

If we end up mid-table I won't be too bothered.

 

[Mackenzie]

Quite, NOTHING went our way today, EVERYTHING went for Forest

It did but we were desperately poor, clueless at times. This needs a sort out.

 

[trueblue]

The worryingly thing apart from the lack of structure and tactics is, apart from the first 10 minutes of the second half, was the lack of fight and character. Away fans should be given refunds for their tickets today imo.

Obvious last week too. That's been the concern. Too much chatter on the pitch between players looking confused, set pieces are a shambles, no discernible pattern of play.

 

[Bodian]

Bring on Chelsea.....

 

[A mex eyecan]

As Warren said during commentary, Fab sat back in his seat since going 2nil down and not moved...he's supposed to be the leader and he's hiding in the dugout.

I feel a somewhat for Fab. He has been given a job that he is not ready or able to do...

it’s hard to feel sorry for a manager when he’s neglecting his job. One of those jobs to to be visible and lead from the front when things are going badly wrong not hiding on the bench

 

[SeaGullBum]

Was always a risk going for a manager from a league like Bundesliga 2, it's obviously not played out the way Bloom thought it would sadly.

No hate to the guy but it's for the best FH leaves.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I suspect we'll stick with Fab and go for McKenna again in the summer as he was clearly the first choice.

I hope we do the latter. The worry is the damage done by keeping Fab though - especially if players like Ferguson push to leave
