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

[Guinness Boy]

23-20?

.

I believe that's the expected xG in our favour. But we'll actually lose 1-0.

Morning all !

Come on you floppy collared blues , today has to be the day we XG the living daylights out of Southampton, and actually equal the XG in actual real live goals ! .

1-0 to the good guys.

 

[Official Old Man]

The best thing about today, no betting adverts shoved down our throat every commercial break (unless you're on Talk Sport).

 

[Trevor]

Feels really important. Come on you Super Seagulls

I'm looking on the big positive, 1200 o'clock kickoff on a Sunday, the train journey from Bexhill to Southampton and back would have been a complete knightmare. I dread to think how much would have been in a rail replacement bus

I feel it is time for a Bloom speech to the players, something along the lines of Churchill.
Now let's show these ****ers we can hit a barn door from 12 yards. Or from anywhere, please.

Strap yourselves in boys and girls.

Hopefully it’s not going to be another rollercoaster with missed pens, disallowed goals, VAR or 90 minute sucker punches.

Objectively. We are actually pretty good away from home, difficult to beat. I do fancy us to get a point today. But if the likes of Maupay and Tross are still starting, they really owe the manager and us a good performance.

I know we're due a few goals but that seems a touch on the optimistic side.

I’d rather take the 0-3 but needs must

We’ll win.



Please...

BBC, and a chance to show the whole of the UK how much us Brighton fans suffer.

Sadly don't have a good feeling about this one. Saints have most of their players back from injury at the moment. They are lightening fast on the break and their first 11 is better than ours. They rested players against city and are well up for this one.

Would take a point now.

Newcastle is the real must win.

Still bitter

Roll up! Roll up!

Pick your Brighton & Hove Albion "How are we going to cock this one up?" reason from the list below;

1. Lose in the last 15 minutes because of a defensive cock-up after battering the opposition to a 0-0
2. Concede in the first 15 minutes then batter the opposition without scoring
3. Turn up looking like we don't give a shit from minute 1 and get whacked
4. Pick an entirely random team which nobody can quite fathom and then be surprised when they play like total strangers (a.k.a. "The Arsenal method")
5. Other

More in hope than expectation today. But the hope is still there.

Lallana is the only survivor from Gus's first match in charge and that famous 3-1 win, he was in the Southampton side that night. I'm hoping he can work his magic today now he has got his first goal and fire us to a much-needed victory.

 

[Medwayseagull]

I wonder if Izquierdo’s performance on the bench last week will see him in the squad this week, or whether he’ll be dropped for another 5-6 weeks like he was last time after his previous disappointing performance sat on the bench.

The position of the cheeks is all important.

It is a conundrum, which novel way can we flop this one today. Random sending off, comedy own goal, what a lottery!
