[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Ninja Elephant]

Bong instead of Suttner.

Once again, our best crosser is not on the pitch with our best header of a ball. It seems so simple and so obvious!

Good to see Sky on the ball as usual !

Goldson clearly NOT OFF.

After the initial euphoria of signing Locadia and Ulloa I’m now suddenly grounded again. The 5-3-2 has been abandoned after one game, so it’s the usual line up playing the usual tempo. We’ll give Southampton all the time they want to settle into the game whilst we try to stifle the game with 9 men behind the ball.

Surprised March instead of Knocky IMO

"Very guarded" says it all

What are we trying to protect? We’re going down without trying to win. It’s heartbreaking.

Not inspired by the line up.

Pretty much the same team as against Bournemouth - one of the most attacking performances of the season.

Same old tried and failed tactics over and over again. We ain't scored an away league goal in 6 games. So let's stick with more of the same...Saints manager must be pissing himself laughing I should think. No surprises for him to contend with.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Bruno injured?

Apparently he missed the Chelsea game for the same reason

 

[Notters]

I said in the league ?

Yes. But it's exactly the same as happened to wbha. A win in the cup to get their confidence back.

 

[Silverhatch]

As Einstein (might have) said about Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

THIS 100%. So disheartening.

I think you can attribute that, in part, to Bournemouth’s complete inability to defend.

 

[dangull]

Going back to the Swansea v Liverpool tactics for this game. Who knows, it might work this time.

Not inspired by the line up.

Yep, I was hoping to see Hazard up front.

 

[British Bulldog]

Happy with the team tonight, decent options on the bench as well.
