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...
Villa did the double over us last season didn't they? They just match up well against us, although our team fielded today was clearly weaker than last season.
Agree completely. A bit like the end of last season, our squad is very thin in some areas, particularly at the moment. Compare our squad to Villa's as a case in point today:- they had the likes of Ramsey and Tielemans on the bench.
It was just a particularly chasening scoreline today, I felt...
Same, Villa always seem to have our number but we’ve made it rather easy for them at the back - no combativeness in the midfield has also seriously hurt us.
I think sometimes in these type of games Villa, Newcastle away etc where they’re a very good team and will take us seriously it’s time to...
We'll all have our opinions on this but mine is:- Our squad isn't currently strong enough to be competitive in all of these competitions this year, dropping out at this stage will be a blessing in disguise; as if we'd made it through a few rounds we'd then have to take it more seriously and with...
