[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United *** Official Match Thread ***

[jimhigham]

I said after last week’s disappointment that I was hopeful our run of matches against opponents we always seem to perform against would do the job.

Let’s finish the job today. Wolves and West Ham coming up. Let’s use them as a springboard to get ahead of that lot.

As I’ve been saying since he joined, Welbz is our best attacker by a massive distance.

Quality player. Maupay - watch and learn, please.

If he stays fit he gets 10-12 goals plus a season. Need him to sign for another 2 years and bring in another

Commentator if Brighton cling on here, WTAF

Fan-bloody-tastic.

Great finish from Welbeck.

See this out from here and I think we're pretty much safe.

A double over Leeds will be nice too.

Pretty much...

Swansman and Simster finally going to give Welbeck some credit?

 

[dazzer6666]

Typical Leeds busting away club seats

LOL, said exactly the same here

It was Ali J coming on that made the difference!

And yes I am joking, but at least you can rely on him to make an effort

Ps - just realised he was waiting to come on when the goal was scored...... but the prospect obviously scared them!

[emoji119] We are staying up say we are staying up [emoji119]

Don't! Just f*ckin' don't!

Lovely to see AJ celebrating Welbs goal like that. Shows we have good team spirit.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Note to self, never leave early.

 

[Saunders]

Brilliant from Dunk. Will remember that for years.

Shows he has 110% confidence in Sanchez too.

So true it is as much sanchez too

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

For all the chat about us missing easy chances, maybe our problem has not creating enough really difficult chances that leave the scorer too much to do.

Leeds supporting mate reckons it's the worst they've played all season... yeah, whatever!

Welbeck has been the difference for us in the last couple of months. Thank the lord he found form and can stick the ball away because if we’d had to rely on any of the other forward I think we’d have been toast.

 

[vagabond]

And that’s how important a second goal is, killed the game

A centre forward who scores goals. Makes all the difference. As did the changing of the keeper. Potter was late with changing the keeper and late with changing it up front IMHO (my only criticisms of him. Otherwise a very good manager). Maupay, is a good footballer but he hasn't scored his chances. Since Potter started picking Welbeck, and he started scoring, we started winning a few games. All the "forwards don't need to score goals, the midfield should" is and always was a load of old cobblers. We are a goal scorer short of a being a good side, not a side who fights relegation. That's been as clear as day all season. Close season will be interesting. Can we keep Bissouma, White and Dunk. Then can we find a goal scorer?

Nah, when we beat them at Elland Road was their worst...
