Have we turned a corner.....?

Chesney Christ · Nov 6, 2012

Yes, there were things wrong tonight.

But this was the first time in a while we have managed to break down a team who "parked the bus". Teams are clearly shit-scared of us at The Amex, and with the exception of M'Boro and Leeds, they all have defended from minute 1 to minute 90.

After what happened tonight, when Peterborough's luck FINALLY ran out, perhaps teams won't think its as simple as "put 10 men behind the ball for 90 minutes".

I dunno if we have turned a corner, but we certainly cannot take a good one.

JOLovegrove · Nov 6, 2012

I think you may be right. Yes, we didn't smash them like Palace are doing to teams regularly, but we got the only thing that matters, more goals then them. And after a well earnt point against Blackpool, and a possibly unlucky but still a point against Leeds, we have 5 points out of 9. If we could get 4 points out of the next 2 game, I would say our blip may be out the way.

They're clearly not.

I think you will find it's a false dawn. Struggling to get past one of the worst teams in the division at home does not bade well.

Peterborough were really poor and we still struggled to score. That's all I know

So, why have all but two of them played 11 defenders for the whole 90 minutes?

ffs it's "bode well"

Absolutely.

Shocking performance.

Albion Dan · Nov 7, 2012

The fact a terrible team managed to defend until injury time without us scoring is more likely to encourage every other side that is still the way to get points at The Amex. Little tonight disproves the theory.

The one corner I do hope has been turned is that Dobbie may start banging them in from now on.

Posh did not park the bus,there forwards were attacking our defence the whole game,preventing us building from the back.They are the 1st team to do that this season and lose, we are well and truly sussed ,promotion?no chance.Unless Gus stops our players throwing every thing out to the wingers and starts getting them running into the box and trying for goal

To be honest, after Friday and today, I reckon we'll go unbeaten at the AMEX in the league for the rest of the season.

If you think of the last 3 games (forget the previous 5)
Blackpool (a) 1-1 D
Leeds. (h) 2-2 D
Peterborough (h) 1-0 W

That's 5 points from 9 it's starting to look better already the last minute goal will lift the players and put them in a positive mood now for the Wolves game
All aboard the gus bus (ding ding )

Today's game could have finished 3 or 4 neil. Against Leeds the seagulls played inmensely. Spain won the World Cup 1-0 every game practically. If the Brighton and Hove Albion keep on playing like this and go game by game, there's no doubt whatsoever in my mind that they'll be up there by the end of the season. Come on seagulls!!.

Are you a 'spin doctor' by any chance? What do you honestly think we will get at Wolves based on a performance like last night or even the performance at Blackpool?

I tell you what I'm expecting - a 2-0 win, with CMS playing his usual one in 7 good game and perhaps scoring from outside the box.

I know this because I've moaned about him on here loads since last night.

The performance at Blackpool and the one last night were completely different, and not really comparable.

Strange question.

Commenting on a match you evidently didn't watch doesn't enhance your argument.

Well it's a nice alternative to: "and don't call me Shirley!"
