    [Albion] Reasons why Palace winning is fantastic news!

    We will suck it up, as they did , until we beat them, and then yesterday won’t mean as much ! That may be next match , maybe longer but it will happen.. life will go on and for 36 games of the next season we will forget about it ..

    [Football] Blind loyalty

    To answer the question Red, I agree with you, it wasn't a good look and whatever the wants to cover it up with, Nuno looked very uncomfortable/awkward. Worst of all I thought at the time the owner ignored his handshake offer which I think Nuno thought he was coming over for. It maybe the owner...

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

    I really like MOR.. yesterday wasn’t as effective as previous games and for sure lacking a little confidence making him slightly hesitant at times but he’s picking up great positions , making great runs into the box. At the game yesterday too, and initially seemed like he could have shot from...

    [Albion] Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brighton & Hove Albion *** Score Predictor Thread ***

    My early season form has deserted me... I'm going back to basics... Wolves win 2-0. Can't help but be impressed by their momentum and their confidence will be high - albeit in that recent run of 5 wins, they were all vs. teams stuck in the bottom third which tempted me with a Brighton win, but...

    [Albion] 42 years today…

    I still rank this as my best experience supporting the Albion, maybe even better than the 2-2 Final . My memory of the day (14 year old) was the noise, the colour and the sheer thrill that I was going to Wembley as we drove home afterwards. However, the day is "tainted" slightly because when I...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Yep.. I was sure he would play him, and frankly makes his cameo role vs Villa very odd.. feel very sorry for him..

    [Albion] Lewis Dunk.

    I think there is something in that.. not sure that I would class Ali Mac as experienced (when he was here ) , but he was good at what you say but our current “leaders” are limited in that ability to calm it all down , grab hold of people in moments of crisis.. keep hold of the ball for a bit...

    [Albion] Fab's pre-Leicester presser

    Fair, and I get the rationale, but in the context of the game, we were only 1 down, we were pushing to equalise and leaving the back line exposed against a renowned counter-attacking team with pace, strength etc etc. It seemed a big ask for a first PL run out alongside another young CB...

    [Albion] Fab's pre-Leicester presser

    If Cashin hadn't got thrown in vs Villa, I guess we would all be saying "this is why we bought him" and assuming he would play. A bad experience (it was only 20 mins) vs. Villa can't change that. He's a young CB, inexperienced at this level but ultimately has been bought in for this kind of...

    [Albion] Fab OUT

    This.. If we mixed the results up, 3 losses, over a 9/10 game period, that feels about right, and the ones we have lost (I am counting Forest, albeit the match itself was a draw let's remember) are hardly against "no-hopers" : whatever we like to think, Palace are the in-form team right now...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    “just about” I am sure he lost some , but I thought he did ok in the air .. there were things he didn’t worse !

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    I think the comparisons aren’t about their experience, but the reactions of contributors here to players playing their first minutes in the PL.. that’s my comparison anyway.. of course I did .. and I’ve seen Dunk do similar. I’m not defending his performance, I just can’t agree that I should...

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    He won just about every header, short or not. I guess I’m not prepared to write off a new player based on that. JPVH faced similar comments I am sure on his early appearances as did Dan Burn.. I am sure we both hope you’re wrong and then a face palm will be appropriate 👍

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    Maybe .. I understand that it was probably pre arranged for Dunk to get an hour and come off .. so I would have gone 3 including EC.. maybe Perv, JPVH and EC, maybe Wieffer or Baleba .. either way, I just think it was a really horrible time to come on , in a significant jump in standard and...

    So you haven’t watch him play then .. no worries

    [Albion] Eiran Cashin [31/01/25: sings a 5 1/2 year deal]

    I’m sure it was that , but EC was always going to be horribly exposed (as were others) for me I would have gone 3 at the back with EC if I had to bring him on in this situation..
