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

[Baldseagull]

Watching the pre match and them showing West Ham scoring from corners, thinking, Sanchez won't allow that. Sitting here at half time thinking, please don't concede any more corners second half.

Perhaps you should go back to the brexit thread, you seem happier there.

don't think I've posted there before

Our inability to score is borderline comical. All this beautiful incisive football but we are simply awful in front of goal.

 

[London Irish]

Could have been 2 or 3 down but still in it. Having said that, we somehow need to remember how to score. Every pundit now taking the piss out of our possession/failure to score, so frustrating.

Agreed but it’s one. Write off that half and go again. If it’s still one at 60 and 70 they will start retreating

 

[The Fits]

4 points from 17th. Really tightening up.

 

[nwgull]

Keep it at 1-0 until about 70 minutes and Lampty has to come on

I can’t see Lallana lasting 90 mins, so not sure that’s going to happen, unfortunately.

At least with only one sub left this reduces the chances of seeing the DJ Shirley?

I went to one of DJ Shirley's raves.

It was lovely it finished at 5pm when as all had a cup of tea and a Viennese Whirl.

The stats are doing my head in...again. So much possession but most of it pointless. No composure in front of goal....again. We go from the sublime (cutting through their defence like a knife) to the ridiculous (see their goal and semi-suicidal passing), within the space of every few minutes.
BBS is not filling me with confidence at the moment, and I still cannot see us putting the ball in the net, despite the build-up play.
You could substitute any recent team into those claret shirts, and the game would play out the same.
Very frustrating indeed.
Again.
And again.

The keeper is not the target...

OK, at least he worked the keeper smartarse, better than troubling the ball boy……….ooooer!

Do you think it's become a psychological thing now, players thinking they'll miss rather than instinctively burying it?

I’d like to criticise this first half performance but we were bottom of the football league a quarter of a century ago so Graham says I’m not allowed to.

Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, booing on the otherhand. I don't know why people struggle with this.

 

[Seagull58]

There will be world-class booing at Goodison this evening.

So true. Our identity has changed, the Brighton Way is now quite famously PPM.

And we’re being roundly mocked for it now in every match by presenters, pundits and journos.

Very frustrating. So near and yet so far.

 

[A1X]

If we were any more pathetic at scoring we’d be fielding those lads from The Inbetweeners

 

[Hugo Rune]

We are smashing this Xg tonight!

 

[boik]

Hmm. Hammers fans cheering every corner. Limited ambitions?

 

[A1X]

2-0, game over

 

[Si Gull]

Utter joke
