You’ve taken my existential crisis personally. I’ve never felt like this in all our previous years in the lower leagues. This is a post-COVID phenomenon for me, in that I don’t like the way football or the club are moving forward in how they treat fans, and it’s left me apathetic and disengaged...

To be honest, my reasoning actually goes a bit deeper than that. I didn’t watch much of last season live as I needed a break from football and from going to our games, as I think we’re moving away from the feeling we always used to have of being a family club, and into a machine that only really...

Because I fu**ing wanted to, and because that was the worst performance I’ve seen from a Brighton team since the end of the Hughton era. If the players aren’t going to respect my time, with all the money they earn, by putting in the effort required to compete in the Premier League against our...

Thanks for making me laugh - I needed it after that sh**show. I am surprised you didn’t find a place for Georginho’s twin though.

I think the better question is whether RDZ would’ve done a better job with this squad than FH currently is.

Well, quite. As my earlier posts on this thread would agree. He’d walk into this team at the moment.

He’s not helped by Estupinan’s role seeming to change every 45 minutes, and teams realising that our right hand side is a weakness offensively.

It’s looking like a strange decision more and more every day.

Let’s not pretend Georginho was better than Minteh today. He was arguably our worst attacker, and by quite some distance. Although I will mitigate that comment by saying I would never be playing him in behind JP - they spend the whole game trying to do the same thing in the same areas.

LuaLua wasn’t miles ahead of him. He was playing in L1 and the Championship and never looked close to playing above that level. Let’s not be silly. Minteh works really hard for the side, has shown a good ability to cross a ball at times, and is lightning quick. And he’s shown he can finish...

Tactically we’re so easy to play against. This massive gap between the defence and attack makes it easy for teams to play narrow and compact, and press as a unit. Palace won so many second and third balls today, simply by having 2-3 players closer to the ball after the initial tackle - it makes...

Personally I’ve seen enough from him to think he’ll be a Premier League level winger. I just don’t think it’ll be under this tactically inept guy we’ve got in charge at the moment.

I’d say it’s worse. Tactically we’re absolutely all over the place. He’s not improved anyone. Players look confused about their roles. I do partially blame the recruitment, which has been poor, based on what we’ve seen so far (I hope that turns around, obviously), but he’s yet to show he’s even...

Enciso and Gruda a 6, Baleba a 7. Everyone else didn’t get beyond a 2 or 3. I thought Georginho and his twin Ruttner, JPVH, Dunk, and Mitoma were especially poor. The manager was a 1. I don’t trust his ability to read or affect games, and we can’t keep hiding behind injuries. He’s not making...

This is it.

There were a lot of competition winners out there today, including our captain.

As one of the people next to them at Lewes and then on the train, it was highly unpleasant. There’s always a small group of balaclava’d idiots looking to ruin it for everyone else.

Is he a Lamptey replacement?

Do people expect him to score? I love the guy, and think he’s our best attacker, but I can’t say I’ve ever had faith that he’ll definitely hit the back of the net.

Same in Italy. They respect their service staff because they respect their food. Whereas food in the US is the worst in the world from my experience. In Japan it’s considered rude to tip. Saying that, the food in the US isn’t relatively cheaper to account for the poor pay that staff get, and...
