0-2 let’s get this done.

 

[brighton_tom]

Hopefully the players are pumped up for this one, using Monday as motivation.

 

[banjo]

gonna be a tuff game, nearly all the pundits have wba down for a win, the big sam revolution starts today allegedly.

After monday’s bitter disappointment, i’d take a point but want three.

wba 15/4 bha 3/4.

How are you/we going to deal with it if it is 0-0 or 0-1 with 10 minutes to go?

And AJ comes on....

My phone just about survived being slung across the room after the last minute DEBACLE against the Croydon Clowns on Monday night, it probably won't take another lobbing. So please Albion, despatch Fat Sam's mob with a comfortable win today, I can't afford a new phone.
Make it so Mr Potter.

Stalking... not sure about that. You turn up, do your thing and walk away. Sort of like the mailman, no need to stalk him to know he will turn up on Monday, no need to lock the door as he is harmless and despite not bringing anything of value, I appreciate him showing up.

Are pizza deliveries integrated within the Swedish mail system?

I reckon every shot we have today will hit the back of the net. 0-18 to the good guys and a new Premier League record

Now it's time for the players to step and and make themselves counted. A crucial game, a must win game. No excuses today.

Agreed a response is needed, but it’s not a must win. Obviously we’d like to but a draw’s fine.

I think Sam will set-up to play us on the break.

Will Potter get the team to play riskier balls in order to concede more possession to West Brom and draw them out of their hole?

Whatever, I have a good feeling about today. We’ve had 51 shots in the last two games, that really is a magnificent stat taken on it’s own. If we continue to do that, our luck has to change. A deflection, a defensive error, a dodgy VAR decision, we are due a game where the ball just ends up in the net multiple times. Having loads and loads of shots makes it more likely we’ll score..........doesn’t it?

Let's hope our luck does change. However gutting that defeat was v Palace we didn't have a lot of luck. No one can argue their first goal was a brilliant piece of skill. A bit like Dennis Laws backheel that relegated United, only the Palace goal was with speed. But the Benteke goal although a good finish would have been missed 9 times out of 10 by that player. All our shots were blocked or missed, like you say soon we must get a lucky deflection or great goal. Please please let's have a little luck today.

It’s hard to completely fault Mondays performance as 9/10 we wouldn’t lose that and we’d still be unbeaten in 7 or whatever it is.

If performance levels are the same at Brom I think it’s a nailed on draw. I would say this though... wouldn’t mind seeing Maupay rested today. I want to see fresh faces up front. Zequiri and or Connolly.

It's not luck. Out inability to score goals has been ongoing for too long to be luck. If you look at how we shoot, we have a team of players (including forwards) who seem to think that you have your head down, look at the ball, smack it as hard as you can and trust to luck. Just like a 10 year old. Until they start looking where they shoot then they wont score goals. It's nothing to do with luck, it's being inept in front of goal.

1-1 - BHA will have 25 chances, miss 24 by just smacking the ball as hard as they can without placing the ball, score 1 by a deflection and West Brom will have two chances scoring 1.

West Brom’s goal will be a punch from Sanchez with the ball hitting Burn on the chest and rolling into the goal in the 97th minute.

The three touches before we shoot also puts us at a big disadvantage.

Can't wait to have 73% possession, take 23 shots on goal and lose 1-0 to a spawny deflected set-piece routine
