[southstandandy]

This is a great learning experience for all.

ALSO - Factor in the fact that we have just about as tough as group as we could have got, the lads are doing well. We could have had an easier group but I'm enjoying the ride so far. We'll done lads.

Hold on didn’t some want Lamptey moved on for a poxy £15m being good value

 

[schmunk]

Right. They've had their 2, now it's time for our 11...

I was, of course, predicting our score in Roman numerals...

Great second half and we could have won with a bit of good fortune and calmness in front of goal. Well done the Albion support out there - safe journey home.

Sekonda haff - Testikolos Grande

Scorchio!

 

[Yoda]

Yeah Dunk I'm afraid. Didn't look good.

Was he hit with something after the penalty? He was getting treatment straight after. Could just be double checking him over (I hope).

 

[Sheebo]

Great character to pull that back. Ajax at home is a must win now.

The group is still there to top - and avoid an extra home and away play off… At one point tonight it felt like 3rd would be an achievement…

 

[Invicta]

Great 2nd half. That points keeps us on it. Bring on Ajax !

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Must be watching a different game, he’s been the only one who looks like creating anything, Dahoud frustrates me… reminds me of Propper, I see a good player and good flashes but I’m not sure exactly what type of player he is

In fairness when I wrote that, Gross had been shocking in the first 30 minutes, was all over the place which is understandable as he was obviously rushed back. Got better and better as the game went on though.

 

[Northstander]

I think we'll be a better team in the return legs!! Bring them on!!

 

[Dick Head]

Time for De Zerbi to earn his salt.

 

[SteveU]

He’s not done that badly - he awarded us a pen and the decision could have gone against us when Mitoma took Harrison down in the box.

Ours was a penalty, theirs wasn’t??

Why didn’t I think of that? Lol

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

I’m not sure about Dahoud, at all. Need an enforcer in there alongside BG.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Great character to fight back. That second half could be massive in the context of our season.

Season defining you might say!

 

[The Grockle]

Lamptey was incredible tonight. One of his stand out performances of his 3 years with us.

 

[Official Old Man]

It's 20:50 in Marseille, we're stuck in the ground, coach back will take another hour and I don't care.

 

[BN41Albion]

If we turn up in the reverse fixtures vs both AEK and Marseille we will win them both.

We're learning as we go... no reason why we can't as you say

 

[Bald Head]

My dinners ready ,at least i won't choke on it now, have a great evening everyone.

Were much better in second half…. Was it Dahoud? Or was it the tweak in how we played?
Answer - subbing off Dahoud
