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

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

It's so obvious that we need a left footed CB and a serious replacement for Lallana that it's almost close to the Potter Striker scenario. Basically we haven't been the same since Colwill got injured. Not even close.

The good thing is we have 2 weeks until our next league fixture to get him fit.

There are always going to be a couple of defeats like this in a season. We made a good side look average. We just have to suck it up and move on.

 

[Mackenzie]

Didn’t deserve to lose that. Feeling pretty frustrated.

Oh well, there’s always next week (Sorry the week after)

 

[Dr Q]

Another choke in a critical game!

 

[fruitnveg]

Shambolic for their goal.

 

[BN41Albion]

we didn't deserve a win really. A draw would have been a fair result here.

Are you mental?

 

[Stat Brother]

Only a fool would turn down those odds, have done the same.

Easy money...





... Wot too soon?

 

[dangull]

Could, should, deserved 6 points in the last 2 games. Ended up with 1 point

 

[Bodian]

I agree with him. If you can't score (or even make the keeper make a decent save) then you don't really 'deserve' to win.

We’ve been great all season, games like that will happen occasionally, it’s football. Annoying but just gotta take it

 

[Farehamseagull]

That was shit. And oh so predictable. Totally toothless. Did Leno make a save?! A reality check for quite a few getting a bit ahead of themselves lately.

Some on here have been getting far too carried with having a go at Potter and praising RDZ. I love his quotes as much as anyone, but on the pitch I just don’t see the level of progression from the Potter days that some have been banging on about. He’s not the messiah that is being made out.

He had a bad day today. That was totally predictable and he did nothing to really stop it happening. Poor subs and needs to stop this Mac Allister number 10 experiment now.

Got to put some blame on RDZ. Changing the back 4 round by taking Webster off was just daft. lamptey and gross at full backs should not have happened

Although we looked more like scoring after the change I think. And the goal really stemmed from our front two leaving the ball to each other.

Ho hum - disappointing, as we played well enough to win, or at least share the points. Sometimes, things just don't go the way that they should.
Too many missed opportunities cost us a lead, and they rarely threatened at all. That's football, and it really won't have any bearing on our chances of Europe, come to the end of the season.
No need for bed-wetting - just one of those days, I'm afraid, and we played well....better than Fulham.

Was only listening on the radio today but didn't Webbo have an injury thus he had to come off?

 

[rebel51]

No chance of Europe now. Criminal again not to slot some of the chances we've had last 2 games.no excuses it's not bad luck

True but were all over the place at the back. I knew we were going to lose it late- the game had that feel

He looked ok to me

 

[maltaseagull]

I agree with him. If you can't score (or even make the keeper make a decent save) then you don't really 'deserve' to win.

Will it be 200 corners before we score from one?
Today we totally outplayed them but finishing was awful. They took their chance. We didn't.

We do always seem to have a form issue in this part of the season. It’s becoming quite annoying.
