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

[The Brighton Buzz]

No pace in Midfield and no pace up front. Busy time for the defence let’s hope Webster is up to it. I hope I am wrong but could be a long afternoon. Alzate has been our most consistent player of late and can’t get in the side in front of Gross who has been terrible. Feel free to bounce me if we win.

Huge call from GP here. Not sure how I feel about this line up, don’t get why Alzate doesn’t start more.

But fully behind the lads, would be delighted if Glen gets back into the groove today.

Get through till HT, 1-0 up off Muzza’s arse, then chuck Maupay Connolly and Alzate on in the second half and win 4-0. Simple.

Love Murray but wow. Potter is a genius if he gets an attacking tune out of that. They have massive centre backs without pace and we play a lone 36 year old with no pace. Is Hughton back in charge? He bangs on about 'sticking to beliefs', then gives Murray his first league start of the year. West Ham must be licking their lips. Felt we had half a chance today with them out of form but not now. Hope I'm badly wrong obviously. Oh great Propper and Stephens start together again. Slow and Ponderous. IT ISNT WORKING POTTER! I really hope this post bounces. Need a lie down.

Sounds like a plan

Stephens and Propper may as well take needles out with em and do some knitting whilst they watch West Ham speed past them.

FT: 2-0, can’t see us scoring. Can see us giving a few stupid ones away.

We have no pace anywhere in the team!!!!! Gross? The only player with energy and who should start (Alzate) isn't. Nice one Potter. The best we can hope for is to be level or only one down by the time we bring on Connelly, Alzate etc. Come on Chrissy Hughton's Blue and White Army!

That is absolute shithouse

Looks like the seat position I had for our first visit there. I still enjoyed it though.

I will be very happy if you and I get this horribly wrong but I fear as you do its crying out for pace and this line up has none going forward I wanted Ali J and March with Maupay up front, but hey what do I know best I managed was as a coach of an under 13 team

I’ll LOVE this view if we win!

Christ alive the negativity just gets worse and worse...

Hasn’t there been lots of calls for Murray to come in because we have been creating chances but not putting them away?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

We’re so slow it’ll take half an hour to get to the pitch from the changing room

 

[pocketseagull]

It might not work but given our recent relegation form I'm relieved to see Potter at least giving Murray a chance.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Wow! Reading a lot of the comments on here, you'd think hyppia was back in charge. Anybody fancy working for the samaritans? It would take a lot of the strain off of the NHS

Very true. Some will never be pleased though.

 

[jakarta]

That is a lineup that screams 0-0. What an ambition to have.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Hope I’m very wrong but this team has car crash written all over it. Yes there is negativity on here but realistically Potter is fecked whatever team he picks- just not good enough.

 

[GT49er]

Just the way the balls fall out the team selection velvet bag

Exactly!
