[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

[pigmanovich]

Listening to a pre match chat on TS …some of these pundits need to do there homework….Minto doesn’t seem to know that we had few choices in midfield for THAT match at Forest….doesnt seem to remember that Baleba was injured plus others

Some of our fans don’t seem to remember either to be fair

I will be asleep for this one and expect to wake to find us playing PNE at home in the next round.

Came down to Brighton from Norfolk yesterday for Bob Grover’s reunion last night which was both poignant and excellent.

Laid up in hotel resting but will mosey to Falmer in a few hours - very much looking forward to the game.

These are a good match thread

 

[Kit Napper]

Amidst all our build up - a quick shout out to @BrightonCottager . Put five past them.

Looks like they might need that in order to take it to extra time

World War 3 coming up, the guy is a meglomaniac.

Blimey, that's a long sleep...

Agreed…but he gets paid for his ‘knowledge’

I wasn’t aware that Albion and Forest was really that much of a rivalry tbh. And I’ve been a fan for the best part of 25 years!

Why are there 2 VAR refs?

One to take 3 minutes to make a decision, the other one to spend the next 2 minutes checking that he's right?

 

[GT49er]

I could use a lift. My father-in-law is in the hospital. We got a call last night to get there pronto since they don't think he has long left.

He had a DNR and DNI order, so there's not much they can do except try to keep him comfortable and wait for the end.

The wife's still up there, but she sent me home. He's still going at the moment, but it probably won't be long.

Sorry, didnt really want to bum people out.

From Cleveland? Nah - you'll never make it in time for kick off!


Seriously, all the best to you and your family at this difficult time.

If he can get himself to the Canadian border I’ll drive him part way - would Halifax NS suffice?

Ah, the 'injuries' Baleba and Ayari (I think) got being late for training or something................

Nonetheless the choice to only play one CM did not end well.

Again, arguably it wasn’t a choice at all.

You’re conflating Minteh arriving late for Everton at home and the reported illnesses of Baleba and Ayari a week later - there’s no indication they were disciplined too. Or are we still pretending there was a big bust up and Fab lost the dressing room?

I don’t think anyone would disagree with that ..but if u had listened to what he said he got 90% wrong

Ps the late bit didn’t refer to the midfielders or indeed that game…Aldo I think Gomes was the only other first team recognised midfielder that was fit

 

[Lethargic]

West coast trains are a f***ing shambles

 

[birthofanorange]

For those of you lucky enough to be there....please raise the effing roof. Our away fans are superb, so do the same at the Amex for this one.

 

[LazDee]

Massive tailbacks on heading out of town A27 at the moment because of nasty crash by Lewes roundabout... Hopefully it'll clear but be warned.

I wish I could sleep soundly like you when I know there’s an important BHA game on. I found myself waking up in the early hours and having to check the scores from those pre-season friendlies we had in the US 2 years ago!

 

[jcdenton08]

Can’t see us winning this without either taking them to penalties and beating them, or out-scoring them in normal or extra time.
