Nottingham Forest v Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[sydney]

Gonna hold my hands up now, and say that IF we score (and it will be a fluke goal off Ulloa's backside or something) and we get into the playoffs, we don't deserve it whatsoever. We don't look like we want it. Oscar and NJ can stand on the touchline and look as confused as they like - it's them that have picked the team and the tactics. This is far too bloody frustrating.

it is verging on farcical, i can't believe they appear to be so clueless and unable to motivate the players for ****sake...i mean this is it isn't it..?? this is what the season is all about...and once again , shots on target .....**** all........

Crap first half - no desire, no urgency. Lualua should have started

hugely

this

 

[Acker79]

Hooray someone else who remains positive. A goal in the early minutes of the second half will calm our nerves.

We've done that once all season. v Blackpool when we conceded four minutes later. Too often this season we have been very slow to start the second half.

 

[Mackenzie]

OK so that wasn't brilliant BUT fortunately we've still got 45 minutes to turn this around. Also fair play to Forest and Burnley for their honesty today.

So....what's the call? We've played reasonably well in snatches that half but Ulloa, Buckley, Lingard and Orlandi all look off colour. I think I'd be looking to bring on Lualua straight away and put him on Mackie.

Jesus we are 1 goal from the playoffs and people are moaning. My cup is half full

 

[Farehamseagull]

Has there ever been a more infuriating player for us than Will Buckley?! More talent and ability than most players we've ever had and unplayable on his rare on-it days but he consistently gives performances like that where he is next to useless.

Agree with the comments about the midfield three aswell, JFC, Andrews and Orlandi is far too lightweight, getting totally outplayed.

 

[Ernest]

The midfield are crap today, Caskey, Orlandi, Andrews & Buckley may as well not be there

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

It's all shaping up nicely, Jfc off and Lua Lua on and it's there for the taking. Come on Albion.

 

[Working class pride]

Ulloa misses chances and manages to be off side in the 6 yard box and a comedy goal keeping error. Bottled it against palace, bottled it against Blackpool. Nothing changes

Come on! you can forgive people for being tense today.

so is mine
but some bar steward has drilled a hole in the bottom of mine

 

[LamieRobertson]

Wonder what the Reading board are thinking of there team.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The more you see that goal, the more absolutely pitiful the defending looks. You don't really mind conceding a decent goal but that's just shooting your team in the foot, if not the head.

 

[The Truth]

We were 1 goal away from safety at hereford at Half time due to an Albion error. Let's do it again! Let's get that Goal!

 

[dadams2k11]

Come on! you can forgive people for being tense today.

Yea of course I can but not people throwing there toys out the pram cause we're not in the playoffs...... YET.

 

[crookie]

Put my shirt on at HT. Haven't seen us lose on telly or at the Amex this season whilst wearing it. Desperate I know, but that performance has been desperate.

Haha, worst we can manage is 8th place. "Crap season" my arse.

 

[gnjd_85]

I understand people being tense but the level of negativity is insane.

Been a tough season, some good, some bad. We've got a chance of promotion going into the last 45 minutes, not a bad effort with some promise for next season which will hopefully run a little more smoothly, more talented young players than we have ever had in my Albion lifetime.

Not a great 45 mins but a tough away game, big miss from ulloa and uncharacteristic error from TK, if they had gone the other way everyone would be going mental the other way. That's football and things are always on a knife edge which is what makes it so exciting.

 

[upthealbion1970]

The more you see that goal, the more absolutely pitiful the defending looks.

And Andrews looks even worse each time.

As for the cup half full, mine would be except I need about 12 on target attempts to fill it that far

 

[El Turi]

Terrible mistake by Kuszscak but the chance came from an awful clearance from Andrews.
