    [Film] Film 2025

    I’ve just been to see this. The intention was to watch this and then another film straight after, but I was so utterly emotional exhausted after watching this that I couldn’t sit around. As a film lover, it’s beautifully done. But it’s an incredibly tough watch, and makes me so thankful that...

    [Albion] Is FH really performing that badly?

    This “remember where we came from” line is getting so old. Most people, after all, can do more than two things at once ie remember where we came from and also looks objectively at where we are now to discuss whether certain aspects are taking us in the right direction. And we are all allowed...

    [Albion] Is FH really performing that badly?

    Hindsight is a lovely thing. Many of the players you’ve mentioned improved immeasurably under him.

    [Albion] Carlos Baleba

    I’m not sure the nose bleed he got yesterday after that run backs up the idea that he’d be any good as a forward 😉 Otherwise totally agree. To be honest, he made some mistakes yesterday jumping in ahead of forwards when he didn’t need to and being outsmarted, but he’d quickly be our best CB if...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

    Totally agree re Solly, but it’s a stretch to say FHs subs have been a strength this season. We’ve fallen apart in countless games in the second half, either following his subs or following his failure to react to changes from the opposition manager. Literally the previous home game was an...

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    I do think there’s a player in there, but I don’t particularly think the system suits him and I think he’s always going to look worse that Georgino, unfortunately. He’s not great at driving us up the pitch, nor in tight spaces, and he doesn’t look great defensively, either in terms of his...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

    I thought he was decent considering how long he’s been out, but he didn’t exactly set the world alight. He just did a lot of basics well, except the one horror pass that nearly put them through on goal.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    I’m glad for him. He needed that performance at home. Really promising.

    [Albion] Lewis Dunk.

    He was much better defensively with us that bit further back and the two in front of him. Amazing what actual tactics can do.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

    They’ll be mid table next season, I’d imagine. There’s a very decent side there.

    [Albion] Plan B (Wingers)

    The fact that the two subs (and Gruda) actually ran at their full backs helped 😉

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

    I’m going to relax and enjoy that come back. And fair play to FH for his subs and tactical changes towards the end. Also, very happy for Ayari for his goal, and Weiffer who finally had a really positive game at home.

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    Different players excel in different systems, because they have different attributes. It’s really that simple. If you lose one player with one set of attributes and have to replace him with a player with a different set, you need to adapt your system and the players around them to cover their...

    [Albion] Where in the world is Joao Pedro?

    Given how little so many on here know about football, I take that as a compliment. And well done for not engaging in a sensible football discussion and resorting to being a child with your reply.

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    And being totally exposed every game.

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    Without sounding too patronsing, you coach them… Dunk’s fallen off a cliff this season under this manager. Maybe it’s age, injuries… or maybe the system just doesn’t suit him… I mean why would being stuck on the half line suit a defender with the turning pace of an oil tanker? As for Cashin...

    [Albion] Where in the world is Joao Pedro?

    I feel like I’m watching different games to other people (although I only watch the home games unless the away games are on TV). In terms of pressing, holding the ball, getting us up the pitch, there’s literally no one better at any of those things in our side. He’s often the focal point and...

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    If you have injuries, you adapt to the players you have fit. He doesn’t do that. And he’s the manager. He’s the one pushing them to such an extent in training that injuries of such regularity are now the norm. Should we have recruited better? Absolutely. But is he getting the most out of these...

    [Albion] Fabian Hurzeler: IN or OUT

    Realistically, to play this system we probably need 5-6 starters still. That just isn’t going to happen.

    [Albion] Bart Verbruggen SINGS a 5-year deal

    So is Steele though, that’s the problem.
