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

Reserving judgement pending the AJ sub at 83 minutes

Already dreading the NSC meltdown if AJ does get subbed on at the end.

He cannot be worse than Gross today can he?

And I just think it's been fairly obvious during his time here that he is a very technically gifted player, and someone who is likely to 'look better' with better players. I can imagine he and Lallana having real composure together, but we've just kind've binned him. I know he can be frustrating, but surely he deserves a bit more of a chance?!
Would he do worse than Biss has even?

Can somebody PM today’s scapegoat just before the final whistle please.

So results aren’t the responsibility of the players or the manager. Jobs for life all round then

 

[Hugo Rune]

Macallister needs to come on, Biss has been unusually poor today so far.

Mac has played well as a sub before.

Izzy for Tross would be interesting after 80mins or so too.

Seems the players are responsible if we lose but Potter is responsible if we win. Hope that clears that up.

Yes, Biss has much more bite in midfield

 

[southstandandy]

I know I'll be criticised but I'd take the point now.

With Newcastle to come (which is a real must win game), 4 points would be decent from these 2 matches.

I just caught the last 10 minutes of the foirst half, missed the goals, Gross looked ok . . . . . In the thick of it and a very competitive part of the pitch. Biss and Trossard seemed to be missing in action.

 

[Seagull58]

Cant blame Dunk for their goal. He strained every sinew to get a head on the ball and was unlucky it fel straight on the Stsins' foot. If we take Gross off we'll have no-one to create unless we bring on Mac All. Majpay looks lost. Trossard not much better. Need to get a grip in midfield and hope for a miracle up front.

Bold change!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Burn OFF!

 

[The Fits]

Swiss Andi coming on as wingback.
Fair play Potter, great to see a positive change.

 

[Gabbafella]

Burn off for Zeqiri, positive sub and early on too

 

[R. Slicker]

BBC Shambles. Would they miss the Kick off of City v Liverpool?

 

[oldboyroy]

Blimey Burn off at half time

 

[Mike Small]

That doesn’t work either. We end up being the only team to give a penalty away after the full time whistle.

That’s why I was careful to say last kick. 93rd minute is too risky

 

[Frutos]

Not a change I was expecting, but we'll see.

 

[BBassic]

He's put a striker on at wingback?

 

[Deleted member 2719]

It’s too late to get rid of him now we missed the point of no return about two months ago. Now we just have to watch his managerial ineptitude unfold to its probably grim conclusion.

You clearly don't see what Potter is doing.

Do you approve with his decisive substitutions?
