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

[keaton]

As a Wales Rugby fan I really thought last night was going to be the low point of my weekend

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

But everyone has higher possession against Forest. That's how they play.

I’m not praising it to be clear

 

[Hometownglory]

I don't actually think he's hiding, I think he is struggling and is unsure what clear tactical messages to pass on to the pitch....so he doesn't.

Perhaps that's a question for Fabs interview panel? Surely a coach who is unsure how to get tactical messages across to his players in game, isn't ready for a Premier League team? That's a crucial part of the job...

 

[BLOCK F]

Our keeper in 1940 got a pretty good look at the game

My granny was there and she was in goal!

 

[trueblue]

Everyone doesn't get beat 7-0

Not really sure what your point is. Someone said we had better possession than them as if the scoreline was misleading. It wasn't misleading at all. Possession stat means nothing.

You're right, in a way it's the same thing.

My granny was there and she was in goal!

That might explain the score!

Oh well, at least my Scotland crew won, but at one stage I thought they might do a ‘Scotland ‘ and give the game away.

God that's a hard watch. Both close to tears.

We’ll be disappointed with that effort.

These were a bad result and performance.

That's the athletic

Worst Albion performance since the days Hyppia was in charge.

“Keep finding solutions”. Has he found any solutions all season?

 

[Dick Head]

Very correct, Dear Friend

Utter humiliation

it was a self refilling prophecy

 

[The Clamp]

Just woke up to this result.

Glad I slept through it.

Jesus wept.

 

[kevo]

How do we create so few chances with so many attacking players on the pitch? One effort against the bar, one tipped over, and that was it.

It's OK to set up so we are going all out to attack - but to then create virtually nothing is indefensible. At least when we adopted a similar approach at Stamford Bridge we scored a couple (and could have had more).

Good to see the new crack German coach who started in January to help Fab has made a difference.

 

[The Clamp]

We are probably the only side who have come so far and done so well while fairly consistently playing such abysmal football.

It’s quite something.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Sauce? Or was it the vindaloo?

I had a tip off last night that they had not travelled with the squad, and assumed it could not be an injury because the muppet had not mentioned it in his presser, so I assumed bug. But turns out, discipline.

If true and we are effectively throwing games as punishment for poor discipline we have serious problems.
