[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[willalbion]

A first half just as disastrous as I expected tbh. Standard Amex shitshow.

Adingra off for Gruda and Dunk off for Cashin at HT please. He can't be any worse.

Thought Adingra played well, one of our better players

 

[fruitnveg]

Well that was a steaming pile of dogsh*t. Blowing very hot or cold this season, almost nothing in between.

 

[Mackenzie]

Well, we've bossed the game, created loads and are 1-1 somehow. Time for the manager to earn his pay.

 

[nsclurker]

Why did Dunk just stick a leg out? He needs to f*** off as he's ruining my memories of him

He's done that a few times, which makes me think he's protecting an injury (ribs?) and not fully committing.

 

[oldboyroy]

Good job he's not playing for us then, whoever he is.

Fixed

6. Not being a massive entitled bellend who doesn't understand that things go wrong in football.

7. Its half time, can we at least wait until the end of the game before wetting the bed (it gives people with some sense the opportunity to get off NsC)

I see you’re on NSC. And please stop sharing your incontinence troubles. We get it.

First Leicester goal since January. FFS

 

[Weststander]

And boos ring out from parts of the NS. Straight after the fck up some anger towards Dunk too.

His legs have gone. But still a great passer, creating chances after the equaliser.

 

[Steve in Japan]

"Challege accepted" - Cashin, probably

Cashin "hold my coat"

 

[el_ciddy]

Oh well, decent finish to the half, at least we're creating chances and not just dancing around outside their 18 yard box.

 

[macbeth]

Games like today really typify us at our worst. Flat atmosphere, wasteful football and conceding awful, soft goals. Dunk is finished at this level and I’m not even sure Verbruggen is better than Stockdale

Well, we've bossed the game, created loads and are 1-1 somehow. Time for the manager to earn his pay.

Isn't it salt he is meant to be earning?

 

[portlock seagull]

Chances gone begging, poor finishing and defensive gift. 1-1 at half time instead of a cricket score! no excuses

Except…twas all so predictable.

 

[Auckland seagull]

This season - of so much promise - is petering out to a frustrating anti climax. Poor finishing and schoolboy errors at the back are a depressing combination.

 

[birthofanorange]

What excuses will some try to defend this performance with post match?

1. Confidence
2. Ref
3. Tiredness
4. Pitch
5. Injuries

…do please continue with everyone!

Why would we, after we win?

 

[London Irish]

O’Riley’s best game for us ironically, everyone else either poor or average

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

First Leicester goal since January. FFS

Dunk gave it away for the initial break, then handed it to them again. He might as well have scored it for them as well.

 

[Mustafa II]

Leicester are bad. Really bad. Look like a Championship side, which they surely will be.

As usual, we're not playing badly - we're dominating in the middle of the park and creating chances.

...but our finishing has been ABYSMAL... and that's the main reason we're not destroying these.

They were lucky with their goal. Mistake by Dunk, shit happens, and Verbruggen should have done better.

Failing to win this fixture would be unacceptable, given how bad this Leicester side are - even with our depleted squad.

Need to start finishing off these chances in the second half.

 

[macbeth]

Incredibly frustrating half. Not in my usual seat. Hating the seat, hating the irritating dicks around me, hating our chances gone missing.

O’Riley then Dunk with awful mistakes, quick counter and 1-1. Horrible goal to concede

Yep, obviously everyone will pick up on the mistake from Dunk, but that bit of play from O’Riley beforehand smacked of a player who still thinks he’s playing in the MTL.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Some great chances created.
The goals are coming in the second half. Keep the faith.
