[Albion] West Bromwich Albion vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Not doing much at home either. For all those who said in September that not signing a striker wasn't the end of the world are being proved so wrong. It's genuinely depressing at the moment

Have to get one start of January.

For all the negativity a goal now could change everything

A goal? Where from?

today is the 1st time I am beginning to worry about our survival chances west brom have made us look out of our depth and they are poor

Who will all be as desperate to beat us. We will become every poor teams cup final and we just don’t seem to be able to raise ourselves.

This is my worry. It all feels a bit pedestrian. We need a bit more guts, a few more ideas, some energy. We're sleepwalking a little. Propper is undoubtably an elegant player but i wonder whether we'd be more suited to giving Kayal a real go in the next few games. We need SOMETHING.

2019?

 

[Questions]

At least we can concentrate on the FA cup now.

 

[fleet]

On current form we are toothless and cannot defend set pieces.
Recipe for relegation.

Nailed on. Signings this week are essential. And training how to defend corners!

 

[Murray 17]

Knockaert won’t be in the team next game.

...and just to think, people were saying he is our best player of all time! [emoji23]

Absolutely! It would improve our goal difference

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Our big hope now is a quality striker which will allow us to nick the odd 1-0 against a couple of the top 6

 

[Zebedee]

No chance.

Clackers? they've got clackers!!

Ha!

 

[GT49er]

Kayal for Propper

CH has actually made three substitutions relatively early on! March gets 45 minutes, Baldock 25 and King Kayal 15 - is that unprecedented for him this season?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Almost ZERO threat against one of the worst teams in the league is a real worry.

 

[The Gem]

Never been the sort to moan about a manager who's doing a great job overall. Can fully understand our cautious tactics against the top 6 - especially away from home. But we surely have got to have a go in these games against our peers . It's going to be tight for 6 or 7 of the clubs towards the bottom. Can't help but feel the ones who show a bit of adventure will be the ones that scrape through to survival....

At this stage of the season you HAVE to question the Managers decisions. He sets the team up, he motivates them, he tells them what to do in great detail.

I do have a feeling that he has lost some of the players.

Our negative tactics are awful. We have nothing to lose by playing a different formation and personal.

And not conceding a corner for 90minutes

I truly admire your optimism!

Would they have scored today? (Twice, three times)

 

[Lethargic]

A lot of people have thrown in the towel today. Its 1 game against WBA desperate for a win. Still plenty of teams in or around the bottom 3 to finish above.

I understand what you are saying still a lot of football to be played but it is the nature of the defeat especially in front of goal. Our forward play in the final third is slow and ponderous and has been for most of the season. We lack pace whether it be physical or mental throughout the team and as soon as teams get into us it is obvious that we struggle to score.
