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

[WhingForPresident]

As long as we are only one down, there's still a chance we can smash and grab this when Fergie, Enciso & Mac come on.

Needs to be done at HT really, but then again there are obviously fatigue issues.

 

[brighton_tom]

We look completely drained of energy. Like they know this isnt the game which will get us points.

 

[Husty]

Sadly JP isn't close to being ready to play in an RDZ eleven.

He’s growing into it. Much more experienced pros have come to this stadium this season and played worse.

 

[Bodian]

How are we not five nil down?

Because they haven't really had five decent shots yet.

 

[fruitnveg]

RDZ for team selection

Fairer than singling out any of the players.

 

[London Irish]

2nd best all over the park

Nah we’re behind the officials as well

 

[BN41Albion]

Because we were always likely to struggle tonight, but we can't afford to do against Southampton. Makes sense to me.

Yep. It's frustrating as we all know we can absolutely compete with Newcastle over 90 mins but we simply had to prioritise Southampton

 

[The Fits]

Put Offiah (a right back) into right back and get Moises into midfield.

Yup. Offiah has been on the bench loads and trained with the firsts all season..HT get him on, Ferg, Enciso and Mac. Get Mac and Moises in the middle.

 

[METALMICKY]

Playing awful but please when will they actually use VAR to book people for blatant diving.

So need to get to half time just one behind and then we'll see how tactically astute RDZ is with either the subs and/or his team talk as changes are required

 

[zefarelly]

Van Hecke , despite a few miscues, has played well so far. It's a very interesting game, Sau-Ted FC are playing an high energy agressive game, and it will change.

I don't think anyones tried going balls out to stoop us playing for a while, n our heels . . .they know we're tired . . . But that's why RDZ has the big guns on the bench.

Oh to have Solly running at BDB!

 

[Triggaaar]

I dont get why we didnt play the stongest 11 tonight and some of the fringe against Stains?

Because they're knackered.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Buonanotte six decades offside and wagging his finger at the linesman

Good lad

 

[WhingForPresident]

Buonanotte doing the finger wag at the lino when he is 10 yards off

 

[peterward]

Buonanotte wagging his finger.... he was over a metre off

 

[B-right-on]

Woeful so far, something needs to change

This. Overrun in midfield and defence with Undav and Welbz spectators.

Bring off Undav and bring on Mac or Enciso or Ayari in the middle. Got to beat their pressing

 

[Bridcutt]

Undav's passing has been awful

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

We’ll still win this

 

[maltaseagull]

Undav scored 2 great goals recently but his first touch is not good enough.

 

[The Wizard]

Let’s give them the 560th set piece, great idea.

 

[Washie]

Undav not actually playing too bad, Van Hecke has grown into the game. Dunk's passing has become poorer, the wings are just non existant
