[Albion] Same Sh*t, Different Day

[kentgully]

Go and support a top 6 side... complete wanker

I still don't have a clue whether you're a troll or an absolute moron.

The tactics today were absolutely spot on. Some of the players let us down with bad decision making, or just aren't up to standard.

I'm wagering on moron...

 

[Greg Bobkin]

What about Everton's last min penalty?

This.

But even then it's almost too easy to say a specific game relegates a team. Will Watford be remembered as the have that 'kept us up'?

Difficult to judge a whole season where individual games can hinge on specific moments. If Ryan had not have saved one of the efforts today, we may have lost. But could one of those saves be regarded as the save that gains us the point that keeps us up at the end of the season?

I get what the OP is saying, but it's too easy to pin it down to one match - to a point (no pun intended!)

This one hurts more than any other missed opportunity this season. The points we dropped at Everton were gutting, really awful but we weren't as good in that game as we were today and weren't up to much until the period around where we scored. The 0-0 against Burnley with the penalty miss, was hard to take but drawing after they had several huge opportunities either ruled out or just narrowly wide felt a bit more like a decent point. This one really is like a knife through the heart, it was one of our best attacking displays of the season but a horrendous scrambly goal completely stained the experience. Seems like we're only capable of being good at one end or the other.

Could be both

Hughtons negative tactics will send us down.

42 chances from both sides, the most in the Prem this season. You sir are a prized cock.

Today I thought the game was very open could of gone either way . Not right when we sit back too open when we really try . Is this team good enough to stay up personally I just don’t know fingers crossed

We are fantastic on the ball, we play some really slick footy. But we have no end product, either through bad decision making or not having the man pushing forward. I think we are within an inch of being a very, very good side. We will stay up, of that I have no doubt.

Not negative tactics but I really don't get the lack of tactical subs today - 4th game in 9 days on a very heavy pitch. The opposition make 3 subs in 60-70 period, DS and DP both looked knackered last 25mins and had no answer to Ibe dropping deeper yet we made no adjustment when they went to 5 in the middle other than when Schelloto ran out of steam.

Agreed. We were dead on our feet for the last twenty minutes, Stephens and Propper were too tired to have any effect. Propper was so tired he was having to foul people to stop attacks. Given the comments around me at the game, I really expected there to be more made of the fact Hughton refused to make any substitutions to have a positive effect (was forced into the Bruno change, and Brown was given two minutes to do something - and we gave the ball to bournemouth as soon as he came on!). They looked fresher than us towards the end, and that has to be at least in part due to their smart substitutions. I'm more frustrated by the lack of substitutions than I am with Izquierdo taking the shot instead of passing.

You might want to put that on hold for a couple of hours.

Unless Stoke put about 10 past Newcastle, (currently 0-0) that is where we'll remain at end of the day.

Southampton will push us into 13th if they beat Palace tomorrow.

Also have to consider the butterfly effect! Had we won v everton, the passage of time would have been different, our subsequent results may have been different, etc

 

[boik]

Think we are in trouble. We really needed a win today. We only have home games against two teams below us left and I don't trust us away.

50/50 staying up I would say. Relying on others to stay rubbish !

The guys on Final Score seem confident we have enough to survive. Hopefully they know what they are talking about.

Nah, the voices on NSC know so much more, look at the Scheletto thread

Who are the guys on the final score team? Do they all watch all of our games and have a great idea of how we play, and a good idea of our remaining fixtures and the home/away split of those games, and a good knowledge of how we did in the reverse fixtures, or are they basing it on scorelines and giving very little thought because we're not one of the big teams?

I have often struggled to understand our subs policy. When we have been winning, a tactical sub or two to burn a few minutes have not been used. And then today less than 48 hours after finishing away at the other end of the country? We were crying out for some fresh legs. Thought Knocky looked knackered towards the end as well as DS and DP. Muff finished much the fresher? Would be really interested to understand the logic of not using those subs?

I was just trying to inject a note of positivity. Shouldn't bother unless we win.

You see, now, I don't struggle to understand, purely because I am not a pro coach or manager, and they tend to know better than me. They watch these players day in and day out and have their tactics totally sorted. I just sit there and watch, and support. So, I don't question it, maybe I'm wrong and maybe I should be Brighton manager. One thing is for sure, there are a hell of a lot of managers on NSC and I can't wait for you to take on the hot seat. You will get my full backing with your knowledge.

I enjoyed that game. Both teams played well, although I am disappointed we didn't win it.

I am sick of our fans calling us shit every time we don't get three points. We aren't shit!

We aren't getting relegated either.

Do it on your own. Don't point to people on TV notorious for not knowing much about smaller teams - point to the more attacking game we played, and the chances created - Bournemouth were throwing themselves in the way of our shots, we could have had a hatful today! That's an improvement on recent games where we have had a lot of possession but nothing in the final third. We actually looked dangerous. The improved performances of Izquierdo and Schelotto are positives to embrace. Point to the effort put in by players who were clearly dead on their feet.
