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

[Driver8]

Newcastle free kick on the edge of the area............

And another goal disallowed.

 

[perseus]

Baldock goes close (but Scott Hogan has scored again for Brentford).

 

[Biscuit]

Norwood is fine when teams are parking the bus at the Amex. Away against Fulham he's out of his depth

Completely disagree. We've got two midfielders against their three, one of which is Cairney who is absolute quality.

 

[hitony]

Newcastle scored again....disalowed again! ha ha ha

Norwood arguably our best player against QPR. Amazing passing, especially to out Baldock through.

Skalak is there to keep things steady for 60 minutes before a more direct winger comes on. Now we're 1-0 down I imagine March or Murphy will replace him,

Speaking purely from experience and not shooting off my gob when I'm not watching a game (as seen by some other posters), I think Murphy or March do need to freshen things up. Can't speak for Norwood, although Sidwell would probably do a better job of sitting in front of the back four at this stage. I'm surprised the moaners haven't mentioned the twice now that Knocky has given the ball away dangerously?

Why not put a midfield three on at HT, never mind I'm not a manager, this was always going to be a difficult one.

 

[sir albion]

Fulham leak loads of goals and we set up to contain them which suits them....Hopefully we'll improve and turn the screw

It's not over yet. We looked poor away at Brum and didn't look dangerous but suddenly changed the game with March and won from nothing. Let's hope the 4000k that traveled can roar them on to victory

Blackburn are being carved to pieces but still 0-0.

Not because Newcastle are any good. Newcastle forwards do not need to even run around to be unmarked.

 

[Dick Head]

Never underestimate the power of clackers.

 

[Steve Foster]

Hurrah Solly coming on

 

[papajaff]

How the **** does Skalak get a start? Get him off, even Aspinall is berating him.

Reading losing, Geordies drawing. Good chance here

I agree. We set up differently away from home. Hughton sometimes favours keeping things steady and solid for 60 minutes away from home before brining on some pace towards the end. Obviously if we go 1-0 down that gameplan needs to change, but that's a Skalak for Murphy or March switch. Norwood's passing is there to bring Murray/Baldock/Knockaert into the game (or a wing back overlap) so isn't really a defensive midfielder. I'd agree Sidwell does that job better,

 

[Marxo]

According to BBC commentator he turned on a sixpence in the Birmingham area maybe we should throw a couple in the Fulham's area.

 

[Biscuit]

Here we go! Come on March, give it some welly.

 

[Icy Gull]

I'll take a point please

 

[papajaff]

About ****ing time!

 

[Biscuit]

March skies it.
