[Albion] Premier League 27/02 - 01/03

They really are even worse than us at taking their chances. Which seems impossible.
Still, it's a point I guess.

Switched between the two games, Leicester absolutely woeful. Do we have a chance a next week?

No because we will blow several gilt edged chances and Leicester will get an incredible slice of good fortune. Potter will claim that "we are disappointed , but we will learn and there are 11 games to go" and Punxsutawney Phil will cast no shadow.

Burnley losing at least

And Bale finding form just in time for Thursday...

 

[Deadly Danson]

Right, darkest before the dawn. This has been just about the worst week to be a Brighton fan but with Fulham and Newcastle failing to win and Burnley losing things could be worse. We all know we are better against the good teams and Fulham have a tricky run. Maybe we will get 3 penalties against Leicester and will score one and everything will feel a lot better.

Zaha-less CP resume normal service with zero goals scored.

No gifts down the Fulham wings.

Long ball to Harry Kane over Tarkowski’s head. 2-0.
GP and many of our fans are too posh for such a tactic...

White and Dunk tried several of those yesterday but they all ended up with their keeper.

Burnley still have Newcastle and Fulham to play....

 

[Motogull]

I'd like Spurs to take it easy now. Don't concede, save energy, avoid injuries and be hungry for Thursday.

Bale, Son and Kane have done enough Jose, get em off!

 

[Miximate]

Oh, so that’s how you finish!

 

[The Fits]

Mourinho is a weird one. When Spurs just attack they look frightening.
He really does seem to have over thought things.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Goes to show, there are still plenty of teams other than Fulham, WBA and us that can go down. Burnley, Newcastle and even Southampton are still very much at risk - and we still have to play two of these.

One teensy flaw in your argument. We don't beat the teams around us. Much more chance of beating Leicester than Southampton and Newcastle (but I agree - plenty of others in the mix and hopefully we've had our terrible week now).

Exactly. People need to hold their nerve, lot of points to play for. A good return versus Leicester, Southampton and Newcastle and the table could look very different indeed.

That is true, agree and definitely something we need to improve. The last 2 games are a slight anomaly though, we tend to draw against these teams normally.

Has it really? I mean, I roll my eyes at people who suggest we can't be critical about a game or a run of games because of the trouble in the 90s and just being thankful we have a club. I'm not saying that. But is two narrow, undeserved losses in one week, leaving us just a few points clear of the relegation zone (roughly where we've sat for the past 3 and a bit years) really 'just about the worst week to be a Brighton fan' given everything this club an its supporters have been through?

 

[The Fits]

Southampton have Everton away, Sheffield United away, Man City at home, and then us.
Newcastle have WBA, Villa then us.
Big month, March.

Can't see Fulham getting any points next month, mind.

Spurs lost a 3-0 home lead against West Ham - early days

Well in terms of have we lost games by more goals or played worse in a week or even lost 2 more vital games then of course we've had worse weeks but I can't remember that many more soul destroying weeks given the manner of the defeats.

Harvey Barnes out for 6 weeks.
