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

[Coldeanseagull]

Neither. Im very optimistic of a win today. Just pointing out brentfords last result

Ok, it doesn't count then because it's not in keeping with a positive attitude, real or imaginary .
Other posts just seem to take it all too serious;y

Come on Albion let's get that 8 point gap back.

i think we have to face the fact that our injury situation is now critical. As with the Preston and Huddersfield games I feared the worst for this game after hearing the team. We are now missing Baldock, Rosenior, Bong, Goldson, Stephens, Maenpaa and Dunk. We will see Dunk next Game, but who knows with the others (apart from Goldson who's certainly missing). The club are clearly covering over their injury problems. We are now in the same situation as December last year -facing the possibility of a bad run just at a time when teams around us have strengthened and are in good form. I still think we can scrape promotion but we have every reason to worry.

Hopefully after all that cue an easy Albion win!

Uneasy about the starting line up and the bench for that matter - the squad is looking thin just now. Lets hope we get the 3 points today, but I'm nervous to be honest, and we need to keep the winning mentality up and show that midweek was a one off.

It's only looking thin because we've lost the last couple of games. Half a dozen games ago we'd all be confident with the team.

That said, it's Brentford so I expect we'll lose 4-0 like we always seemed to do a few years ago...

Just seen their no.5 after a cursory glance of their line up

Baldock clearly travelled today though so must be pretty close

March came back and was superb against Brum. Since then he has been shit

Respect your opinion but I think that's utter bollocks. He's been better than Skalak by a long distance and is easily better than Kaz 'One Trick Pony' LuaLua.

Radio Sussex sounds mental with the music in the background at volume 11 (a la Spinal Tap).

My opinion is utter bollox. ? Tell me which games has he been good apart from Brum which i have already mentioned ?

Careful now, you'll be accused of being an Arsenal supporter with that kind of talk.

You know full well that a run of games in the first team is vital, That is why Lua lua last season stormed it before his injury. On his day he is a better player than our other wingers apart from Knocky.

He really isn't and when was the last time he had his day? He doesn't seem to have a turn of pace anymore, he has one trick and his final ball is awful.

Solly on the bench and norwood playing, Don't like that decision!.

I knew it'd catch on

Yep, it's blind devotion or death by Arsenal.

I also rate March. Seems as though particularly away from home Skalak is being played fur his defensive qualities. I don't agree with this but I defer to CHs greater football knowledge than me. I'm a bit more stunned by Murphy playing today. That is where march or Akpom might have seemed better. Maybe we will see early substitution for Akpom?

What I've seen of Solly recently suggests he's not a starter in a game like this one. Just seems too ponderous on the ball a lot of the time and too easy to rough up.

Happy to see him come on later in the game and run at a tiring defence.

I've got my home made Hughton/Barber Out banner at the ready.

In fairness, I'm usually pretty positive about our chances. It's just tough to be on this occasion when in four trips to Griffin Park I've not even seen us score a goal.

J Canter friggin annoys me. Showing constant signs of denial of our current predicament!. Another prat who just looks at the League Table and talks shit about our great form!
