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

[BadFish]

It's like we are trying to run up the xG, instead of the scoreline.

Is Potter in the dugout?

 

[dwayne]

Not enough urgency or intensity feels a bit like we are strolling around expecting an easy win rather than hunting down the win.

Let’s hope but if a rocket at half time to up the pace and press

Very predictable we just can't be arsed against the lower and smaller teams. Need to sign some more leaders next season.

 

[kevo]

Our finishing has been OUTRAGEOUSLY sh*t.

That Minteh one, that Pedro one, that Adingra one...

Do they ever practice, you know, scoring goals?

 

[Balders]

Well at least it's sunny here at TRS Cap Cana.

Yes a thinly veiled "I'm on holiday in Punta Cana" post

Seems that way doesn't it. Players expecting it to be a stroll

 

[sagaman]

Should be the clearest Albion transfer window to fix, ever.

RB, LB, CB & DM.

Please no more wingers, no10’s or goalies.

We also need striker

 

[jimhigham]

I feel for Lewis. Just want to give him a big hug, thank him for his years of service and assure him he’ll always be a legend. But time has inevitably caught up with him. He’s been turned more than once and is largely chasing the game. He’s still got the ‘death or glory late lunge block’ in him but too often he’s losing the ball upfield and leaving us exposed.

Really sad to see. I’ll always love you though, Dunky.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Very annoying to concede. How are we not 4 ahead?
Their defence is so rubbish we need to destroy them second half.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'd say it's been fairly lacklustre but we should still be out of sight. Surely we'll win?!

 

[Alex BH]

It literally would be if we’d have taken even 30% of our chances!

 

[Birdie Boy]

Has everyone forgotten Cashin's debut? He should be nowhere near the pitch until at least 4-1 up.

What an outrageously stupid comment.

I really don't understand how football fans can follow the sport for so long and still be so clueless.

The players are OBVIOUSLY arsed and doing what they can to win this. We're playing well. It's just our finishing has been excessively shite today, so far.

&/or/including a couple of leaders.
This 11 has none.
Different team with Veltman & on recent form, Webster

 

[Weststander]

Missed their goal as was robbed for a £3.95 bag of sweets

How bad was it?

I just returned with the choccy honeycomb bag as the crowd near us turned on Dunk.

 

[oldboyroy]

Well it’s not ALL bad news - Souton holding AV to a goalless draw at HT .

Emery will lay into them and make changes. Let's see what Fab can do

Well said. I thought he was past his peak last season and this has been painful to watch

 

[Alex BH]

Of course we won’t. I’ve seen this game at least 3 times already at home this season- Ipswich, Wolves, Southampton…

 

[portlock seagull]

Shame he missed that sitter and hit a post, could easily have had two today. Perhaps it's just rust where he's hardly played. Promising signs though.

Easily is the key word here. Same said of Minteh and Adingra. Therefore, if none of them can take any of their chances, it doesn’t look promising IMO, it looks depressing! Especially given we’ve seen them do this repeatedly throughout the season in multiple games. We just can’t score. Still, we’re cheering up the good folk of Leic for the 2nd time this season in one of their worst of all time. Good old Albion, always so nice to the other team in such circumstances. It’s the Brighton Way.

Ship Verb

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

Ship Verbruggen out in the summer and sign the relegation specialist Ramsdale…:: that’ll do the trick

 

[nsclurker]

Get Harry Howell on. He appears to know how to finish.
