Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Superphil]

Stockdale is very, very good.

Whilst I wouldn't say he is crap, he most certainly wasnt good today, in any way.

 

[El Turi]

We can't defend for shit under Hyypia. It's a worry. We have played mainly weak teams and have done poorly to date.

Inevitable we will concede more with his attacking tactics. I think having some younger legs at right back would help though.

 

[TonyW]

Not sure I can. I don't get to see many games ,but i do want to see us competing. Mid table is not good enough IMO.

We will finish near, or AT the top this season.
Learning curve.

 

[Kosmonaut]

How long can we keep giving Stockdale the benefit of the doubt?

 

[Sergio Garcia]

Stockdale is very, very good.

At coming up for corners

Why not, we pay to be entertained not to be guaranteed promotion, we are not Pompey so we don't have divine rights

 

[Paskman]

Stockdale is very, very good.

Not at shooting though....

What doubt, he's quality.

 

[Marxo]

I don't like football (for the moment).

True

He's had 5 league games in charge. We've a new keeper and fullback, plus Dunk is effectively playing himself back into the side. I'm not making excuses, and it is a worry.

However some people never learn about judging a side by reputation. Sheff Weds and Brentford, regardless of where you think they might finish at the end, have started the season really well. We weren't at our best against Wednesday, but neither did I think they were a poor side.

Said stockdale was a poor when we bought him and nothing has changed my mind!

We defended very well in the 2 games I've seen - Wednesday and Charlton.

And look where Charlton currently are too.

 

[GT49er]

Oh well, another loss then. At least we scored a couple.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

The midfielders need to do more defensively when the fullbacks go forward. Seems that they aren't filling the holes when either Calde or Bennett bomb forward. Need to be more like Bridcutt in that regard.

 

[BensGrandad]

Have said all along that Stockdale isnt as good as Kuszczak certainly not worth £1m more but we have bought him and must perservere.

 

[Gazwag]

Thought it was a good game crap ref cheating keeper and striker had we scored early when we hit the post we would have won. I always thought when a defender passed to a keeper and he picked it up it was a free kick but not today and they scored straight after

 

[matbha]

As long as we don't go down ,ill be happy !

Only the first loss in five games...keep the faith...
