[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea *** Official Match Thread ***

[Cotton Socks]

Lamptey is looking very comfortable again. He's played well tonight.

 

[Ethelwulf]

There was £10k prize money there if we won tonight. We've thrown away the big time.

I blame Dick Knight

Ref is still shocking.

7 more minutes of this shit

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We had our chances and they should have had a man sent off. Ah well.

1 out of 4 competitions gone.

 

[Steviewonder]

These commentators are full of shit. Ball clearly didn't go out, again. How exactly did the lino on the opposite side of the pitch see?

To be fair it did. Thought the same on first view

Yes - and that's what's disappointing. We take that early chance - their confidence could have been shot even further. But we've let them build it back up again.

I thought you were blind....

 

[Cotton Socks]

On a random note how do players manage to run around chewing gum? I'd have choked on it after 15 yards.

 

[AmexRuislip]

I almost didn't watch it tonight - as I felt it might be something of a nothing game. It's been a bit better than that - but not great. Far rather we saved ourselves for the ones that matter.

I've been more concerned on Wozza getting confused as who is actually playing for the Albion tonight, given the former players now residents of the Kings Rd outfit.

 

[Bridcutt]

Pedro has been quite shit this game

 

[Triggaaar]

To be fair it did. Thought the same on first view

On the second view I thought it didn't. Have you seen from directly over the line?

 

[Steviewonder]

It's only the league cup. We need to concentrate on winning premiership

 

[Bodian]

Should have got that one on target.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Pedro has bloody awful tonite!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Not a great performance, annoying to lose against them but f*** it. Probably for the best being out of this.

Buonanotte, Igor, Dahoud, Joao Pedro and Perv seriously need to up their game when it matters. The latter has look well out of sorts recently and again tonight.

 

[junior]

Ref has been abysmal. Not sure if VAR would have made a difference to the result though?

Jackson's second goal would have counted so yes

 

[Seagull58]

More than enough chances to win this. Oh well.

 

[ManOfSussex]

It's only the league cup. We need to concentrate on winning premiership

I want us to win the Fairs Cup as we're in it.

 

[Krafty]

I hope this is a blessing in disguise.

It may mean that we can focus on the Premier League and achieve qualification for the Champions League, I wish.
