You are correct - I’m still perplexed that we didn’t sign another CB last summer but although the personnel available isn’t ideal presently I’m still not convinced on our defensive setup as a whole even when our best players are available.
Still not sold on Fab. Very rocky performances against two crap teams at home in Leicester and West Ham. Yes we have injuries but our game management and some of our play v poor.
Let’s not dwell on that tonight though, phenomenal end to the game and 2 stunning goals - happy days!
I’m far from convinced about Fab’s in game tactical nous. It’s all well and good when the tactics work from the start and things are going well, but when we need to do something different or change things when we are under pressure/not performing he seems pretty clueless.
I don't think RDZ is as good of a manager as he thinks he is at times, we've been unlucky with injuries but have been naive tactically in recent matches... Won't impress the big boys looking at him
Yep - the thing that makes this all the more disappointing is that I think most of us are accepting this will likely be RDZ's last season with us. Although the club are phenomenal at finding replacements I can't see us doing as well next season, even if we retain all of our best players and have...
There will probably be a fair bout of negativity on here tonight but I for one thoroughly enjoyed the fight we showed when down to 10 and the joy Gross and Dunky shared when we scored - in conjunction with the look on Dyche's face.
Would have been nice to win of course, but to be honest I...
Buonanotte has put in one of the worst performances I’ve seen from a Brighton player in years in that half, Luton’s tight pitch and press has completely overwhelmed him seemingly, defensive line has been very poor too.
Just pay the 30m and get it done, really rate this lad - would be an incredible January signing but surprised if Leicester would be willing to part with him now.
All I can say to these arrogant BBC Berkshire commentators is - hahahaha. Going on about 'settling the game by the 70th minute' so they can rest players for their league game, how they were 'far superior' in the first 20 minutes. Your first team has just been done by our weakened U21s - unlucky...
Were any of the saves particularly outstanding? A very good performance but the finishing was poor in my view, Ferguson had a bit of a mare particularly with the cutbacks Mitoma was providing second half, he should have been on the end of one of them
If the scoreline was reversed I’m sure they’d have added at least 8 minutes with the time wasting, sub windows and the fact that Solly was injured in normal time as you say. Doku was class but he was also down for at least a minute in the 2nd half after colliding with Veltman
Weirdly enough I feel a bit dissapointed as I feel like we would have won handedly if we hadn't had a complete stinker in the 1st half. It's an issue that needs looking at as we are far better in the 2nd halves of games than the 1st.
That said, to come back from 2-0 down in that atmosphere...
