Watford v Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[The Rivet]

Depressing listening. Still, never mind maybe all will come good next season. Mid table this year I think. No top six (as was the aim according to the board) I feel confident in our ability to be at the top of the FFP table however. Never like losing so I'm entitled to be a bit sarcastic!

Football can cause much pain but I still love THE ALBION!

So people want the club to spend more on players but keep the season ticket prices down. Can someone explain how that works?

Simple economics. Season tickets are price elastic - raise the price just a little bit, and you will lose a lot of customers, meaning less revenue.

as someone who likes to defend brighton players who are being unfairly criticised, i frequently defended barnes and have among some a reputation as a 'barnes lover', so i hesitate to raise this point, but...

One goal in four league games since barnes left. Are we seeing more now what he brought to the team? I'm not talking about his goals, he was only good for around 10 a season at this level, but i mean that link between the forward line and the rest of the team. These past four games it has been repeatedly noted how isolated ulloa has been - is that where we're most missing barnes?

Use money from player sales.

2-0 full time , sounded like one of those games where nothing turns out right because the opposition have us sussed out.

And the opposition have Foriesterie

Why? How many other chairman are out of the country for the whole transfer window?
Love Bloom but I think he got that wrong.

Err he has people in place to deal with that, they don't need baby sitting. I'm sure he was still contactable, have you heard of email or phones, Skype etc? I'm sure he trusts Burke, barber etc to sort things out and all he probably does is rubber stamp the final documents.

something needs to change

What?

 

[carteater]

why can't oscar just try out having two up front

 

[dougdeep]

If they actually spent some money on players it's not gonna be an issue is it!

They did.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I know that but with 40 on the board now it's hard to see us going down from here even with a monumentally bad run in.

Isn't it?

..o yes i thin we should be okay...providing the players stay true ...when u quoted a league place i thought u had forgotten that we were relegated

An outbreak of thoughtful analysis and insight on NSC. Well played Acker.

 

[The_Viper]

Not sure who are worse. The 'bedwetters' or the people complaining about the 'bedwetters' with some deluded sense of superiority. Makes me lol.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Only been on NSC & BBC website.
But 15 shots and plenty of possession, I would love to know what is up with Ulloa.
Its all very frustrating (again)

 

[Marxo]

BTW how did Aspinall pronounce Tözsér?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Mullery summed it all up on Friday night , no good having a tight defence without having a 20 goals a season striker up front with more goals from wingers and midfield.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Yes, peoples expectations.

You are such a Barnes lover, don't you know he's useless and can only score penalties and a striker not scoring is a waste of money

Tosser but dont know if he was referring to him or one of our players

We play 3 up front so you want to drop a front player?
