[Albion] When was last time we got MORE than we deserved?

[Reddleman]

Like most of us I am feeling pretty fed up this morning that we lost what would have been an excellent away point right at the death.

It also got me thinking, when was the last time we got more points from a game than we deserved to?

I can think of countless results where we have lost or thrown away points but I’m really struggling to conclusively think of a game we stole something.

Under Potter I can think of a couple but none under RDZ but that can’t be right.

Can anyone think of a game under RDZ when we have gotten more than we deserved

Arguably the 1-0 Man It'd last min pen game? Hadn't that one been fairly even? The same for the Liverpool FAC home win when Mitoma scored at the death.

No I thought we were the better team in both games

I agree but enough to warrant a win?

Yesterday Spurs were marginally the better side but we probably deserved a draw, so I'm applying the same the other way round.

Ultimately, because of the way we play, there aren't going to be many examples of the Albion being played off the park and escaping with a draw.

I'm sure it happens, but we just don't dwell on it, we get busy celebrating. Spurs fans (and dwayne) won't be thinking that they didn't deserve the win. They won't think about all their fouling and the homer ref.

AEK Athens away

Maybe I'm peculiar but I always think we get exactly what we deserve, even if it doesn't 'feel' like it. To not get what we deserve would require corruption. And it has happened

Arsenal away in league Cup last season. Roberto admitted his side didn't deserve to win despite the 3-1 scoreline.

We do seem to have a fair bit of bad luck but maybe that is putting rose tinted glasses on.
For example is the Lino had done the same as he did in the first half by not raising his flag for even blatant offsides and not flagged BBB offside at the end we would have had a corner

AEK Athens away

Good shout.

(Although still feels faintly surreal that these days “AEK Athens away” can be considered a perfectly legitimate response to a question about a Brighton performance).

What a time to b…. etc

AEK Athens away

Yep - we didn't deserve to get tear gassed, but we got it anyway.

@dwayne got a pint for the price of a half pint, four times, at Spurs yesterday

AEK Athens away

Great call. They were definitely the better team on the night.

Away at Everton this season?

 

[Reddleman]

AEK and Arsenal are both good shouts. I’m really struggling to think of a league game though.

Luton away

This. We were extremely lucky to escape with zero points and only a 4 goal ding to our GD.

Away at Everton this season?

Thought we at least deserved a point here. Dunk goal very marginal offside, dominated possession and deserved the deflected Mitoma strike after they opened scoring with a deflected goal too.
