[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

[Deadly Danson]

Pissed away a load of money on a Poundland box park when we could’ve brought a striker that could’ve won us the game.

That is quite possibly the most stupid thing I've ever read on NSC.

 

[Clive Walker]

I don’t get out style of play. It reverted back to the old style as soon as dunk rejoined the team.

 

[Justice]

Disappointing result but could have been worse. Bournemouth lost at home to Ipswich, Palace didn’t win, Fulham lost last night.

We are still right in this.

Why change tactics so dramaticly to what’s been winning us games? If all players are drilled the drop off shouldn’t be that dramatic when changes have to be made. It was like watching us away at Chelsea again, slow CB’s playing a stupidly high line. We had stopped that and it was working.

Our game to win right up until the disallowed goal. After that lost control

Needed to go in at half time winning .

0-3 is harsh

Massive game Saturday, champs league was always a pipe dream but 7th and 8th still on

I said to my brother after they disallowed the goal that we should bring some subs on to reenergise the team

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Very correct, Dear Friend, very correct

 

[Oh_aye]

That is quite possibly the most stupid thing I've ever read on NSC.

really though. Totally mental

 

[Clive Walker]

We lacked fire power and creativity

Stupid not to nurture fergie and down out enciso

DUNK!

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Bringing on a novice defender and 2 defensive midfielders was mind boggling to me. Leaving March and Minteh on bench?

We lacked fire power and creativity

Stupid not to nurture fergie and down out enciso

I wouldn't say that, that powerful drive across our own goalmouth just before half time showed immense creativity

 

[Mancgull]

The scoreline flattered Villa.

We’ve had some luck lately in the Premier League, it ran out tonight

This is a good point. We’ve had some luck v Bournemouth and potentially to win v Fulham.
Hopefully the gods are on our side on Saturday.

 

[Dick Head]

Very correct, Dear Friend, very correct

it was a self refilling prophecy

 

[Justice]

That's unfair. Cash had been a fine player at championship level and may become a decent premier League player. I didn't understand Brighton signing him at the time and still don't but he's a decent player and a fine individual.

If you say so I can only go on his 20 minute debut which was a car crash. To small & to slow for the PL. As you say I don’t understand the signing.

 

[Sorrel]

Quite a dispiriting evening. I had a little bit of hope when we equalised, only for it to be poured away completely after we hadn't.

The manager really radically changed the player profile. No baleba, no Minteh, No Rutter. these are big changes. You can't just play the same way. Not only that, it was working for a long time. I genuinely felt at half time we'd nick it.

Terrible decision making from a consistently wobbly goalkeeper and someone's unkle from down the pub, being unable to judge the bounce of a football killed us off.

 

[Triggaaar]

I think we had the plan to cover it - Gomez dropping back while the defenders were high. It’s just that Gomez inexplicably wandered off in the wrong direction just as the ball was hit long.

Rashford was full on sprinting and Gomez was just standing there. If he was supposed to get back, why didn't he?

 

[Alex BH]

That is quite possibly the most stupid thing I've ever read on NSC.

You went into that crowded Poundland box park and you actually thought, ‘wow this is good, I’m enjoying my pint that I could’ve also enjoyed outside the stadium cold in a less crowded space, money well spent BHA!’

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Rashford was full on sprinting and Gomez was just standing there. If he was supposed to get back, why didn't he?

Exactly- that was his mistake. He was back as the last man but for some reason completely switched off.

 

[aolstudios]

This is the problem. We've run out of players.

We're playing 3rd or 4th choices in several positions.

Villa can bring on malen, asensio and Watkins. We bought on cashin and O’Riley

This, sadly ^

 

[aolstudios]

Or test of the manager when we need him to make us greater than sum of the parts? That’s why we employ these guys

He still needs fit players
