[Albion] Luton Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[zefarelly]

Well that's clearly not true is it? We are 8th, possibly 10th after games in hand have been played.

I agree though that we are not hitting last season's heights and probably won't. Just hope we're a cup team this time round!

My concern is we're not a team. Those that made last season are missing, only 2 sold, but injuries and form are taking a massive toll.

Credit to Luton. They played at 100mph all through the game and never gave our players an inch of space. 5-0 would have been fair. We need a way of playing against opposition as full blooded as that.

 

[AlbionBro]

Rob spanked our Roberto tonight, how will Roberto react? He needs to, our form is looking very average now.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

To the happy clappy 'perspective' brigade: I challenge you to name a worse performance from us since Hyypia was in charge. Even in the Everton 5-1 we actually played fairly well and could've won it on another day.

Credit Luton, of course, they've played us off the park, but to no resistance at all. The shit performance served up today is beyond unacceptable.

Ah well, it's only football

An Albion STH - and friend of someone on here - lost their life tonight. That's what *I* meant about perspective.

Shout, scream, swear, get battered or smash things up - it'll make fack all difference, but if it makes you feel better...

Next time maybe let someone else have your ticket if you can’t bear to watch us lose - I’m sure there are plenty of Goldstone era fans whose support isn’t contingent on Brighton winning Premier League match after match.

Hear hear.

However, it's not about losing, it's about having a f***ing clue and applying yourself. Which we didn't.

 

[Mike Small]

A truly awful period but I'd genuinely have that down as worse than Bournemouth/Cardiff.

We are unpredictable and yeah, shit performances can happen, but I'm shocked by the lack of desire from anyone in an Albion shirt. To come out for the second 45 after that to no change and no reaction whatsoever... Something is seriously wrong.

I didn't see Bournemouth but that second half was worrying. Actually it was insulting.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Bad day at the office. It happens.

Once a year?

 

[BevBHA]

Terrible performance. It happens.

On to Palace.

Come on you super seagulls

Super is an interesting adjective to use tonight

 

[fruitnveg]

At least we probably won't be as poor as that again this season.

Now you've gone and done it...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Well done Luton.

Yup.
I don't want to be dramatic, especially straight after that, but something wasn't right out there. It isn't about being outplayed or even outfought (or outthought) it's that nobody involved with the club seemed to give a shit today.
Maybe RDZ had a massive strop that we won't pay more for KDH?!

A truly awful period but I'd genuinely have that down as worse than Bournemouth/Cardiff.

But those games were when we really needed a win. They were far more serious capitulations than tonight - which is, I guess, why CH was sacked.

Didn’t we say that after the Aston Villa result??

 

[Bold Seagull]

That was the point I was making about people saying he hasn’t been backed.

I think he’s done a good job for us but don’t think he’s over delivered. Personally I think Potter was really kicking us on and would have qualified for Europe last season too.

To be honest our outlay on players and wages means anything top half with cup runs is over delivering. That is the level of backing - which is fine, I’m not complaining, but our squad is nowhere near deep enough to cope with the injuries we’ve had this season, and it’s been shown recently and tonight.

Well they're super to me.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

We were so bad my bookie just gave me a free bet to make up for the 16 I lost tonight!

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Well let’s hope our once yearly Bollox of shite show like Everton last season is now fulfilled….

on to Palace, they may fancy their chances now and come at us, RDZ may put a few rockets up their arses after that inept performance.

And not just cos Warren has said it 7 times, it's NOT a bad day at the office. Only if you've pulled out your drive and got wiped out by an HGV.

 

[Farehamseagull]

3 wins in 16 league games - relegation form.

Yep. Budgets, spending, wages etc usually always correlate to league position..there's always the odd outlier but we are par if we finish lower mid table.
